I was happy to read a post on thebump today about helping Doxies adjust to a new baby. This has been a big concern for me. How will my first baby, Molli the Dachshund, adjust to her new brother or sister? Dachshunds are truly a possessive and obsessive breed( no wonder why I chose her??) The posts said to make sure our Molli gets used to baby noises and for Jim to bring one of the baby's blankets or burp clothes home and stick it in Molli's bed before we bring the baby home. Most Dachshund owners responded that their doxie became very protective of the baby ( I am a-ok with this) and that many times the baby became the Alpha to the dog.
I swear that Molli can hear the baby in my belly...she sits her little head on my belly when she is on the couch, like she is listening. She will be a good big sister!
