Preparing the dogs

So, we are working on preparing the dogs for the new addition. What that means is we have a doll - Baby Beth - in a diaper, baby powder and swaddled in a blanket, and we carry her and hold her like a baby. We talk to her and keep the dogs from licking her. All this is supposed to get the dogs ready for the baby.



As you can see from the picture, right now baby beth is sleeping in the crib. Our tests haven't really calmed the dogs down, but Charlie's visit was a good indicator of what is going to happen. Basically we will be letting the dog's sniff Caden for a while before they are used to him.
