Olivia and Lucy


We've been asked a lot how Lucy is doing with the baby. We are happy to report (for her sake) that she has been very good!
While I was pregnant I played LOUD clips of crying babies on the computer to get her used to the noise (a suggestion from our doctor). Andy brought one of Olivia's onesie's home from the hospital prior to Olivia coming home so that Lucy could get used to her smell. We kept the nursery door open so that she could go in and out and get used to all the stuff. We didn't know what to expect and hoped we had done enough to prepare THE DOG.
The first few days were a little rough...if Olivia cried, Lucy cried, barked, whined, etc. She also, attempted to eat a few baby toys, but Andy was able to intervene in time. She was needy and seemed to always require more attention too. She also got really worked up with all the visitors and her routine being so disrupted. That's the bad...thankfully after about a week she started to get used to the baby, her noises and her stuff and we have been fine ever since!
Lucy has turned out to be very gentle and quite the protector.
