Hi Friends!
As many of you know, there will be a new addition to our little Phelan Phamily of 3 (Liz, Matt, and our pup, Koda) coming along later this summer! In anticipation of having lots of amusing photos, anecdotes, and maybe even videos to share, we welcome you to keep up with us on Our Phelan Phamily blog.
All is well in our house at the moment! The baby is healthy and happy, and we are just approaching week 24 of our 40 week journey. The expected due date is August 12th, though if baby is anything like us, it will have a few more things to cross off the 'to do list' in utero before making the big debut and will arrive fashionably late. We are waiting to find out if Baby Phelan is a girl or a boy until the birthday, so for now we are having a surprise!
Koda is starting to get suspicious... boxes are moving, and there has been an unusual amount of activity in 'his room' lately. The futon that he has claimed for his own happens to live in what is becoming the baby's room. He is pretty good at sharing with other dogs, but we'll have to see how he feels about sharing his space with a teeny tiny person who is capable of incredible sounds. Lucky for us, he has spent lots of time lately with Baby Phelan's cousins, two year old Dylan and two month old Kyle, and he has enjoyed every second of it! We are open to suggestions if anyone has ideas as to how we can help him get ready for the transition.
That's all for now!
Liz

From what I've heard from clients, dogs tend to catch on pretty quickly that the baby is part of their pack and is their responsibility. Koda would be especially great at meeting this transition head-on! Just try not to change his own routine too much (walks, play time, etc). It'll be just fine.
ReplyDeleteThanks Beth! It's so helpful to have a brilliant and reassuring vet friend!
