Pet Owners: I Need Advice
My husband and I have a corgi mix and we love him to bits and pieces. Now that I'm pregnant, we've been taking steps to get the dog used to having a little brother in the future (we play crying noises, we got a baby doll to simulate how it'd be with baby around, and soon, we're gonna assemble baby furniture and put doll in there so he can learn that's baby's space). My number 1 concern is all his fur. If you know corgis, you know they shed like crazy! It's like the wild west in our home but instead of tumbleweeds, it's his fur lol. We live in a small space and I get worried because there's not gonna really be a "just baby" part of the apt -- that's how small it is. We're gonna start training him that the bed is a no zone now and he is crate traine and when I voice my concerns to my mom or grandma, they both tell me to get rid of him. I can't do that to my boy, he's family so I guess my main question is how did you do this with your newborn and pet?
