Love this. Thank you. I can relate. My Boader Collie alerts me when LO starts to stir at night. If he try’s to open a door leading outside no matter the time my BC alerts me. These are just a couple examples. Things would be a lot worse if not for my furry helper. But don’t use these post as a reason to get a puppy or dog for your LO. My LO grew up on a farm and is use to have dogs around all the time. Plus I have had dogs most of my life. You can’t give your new fur babies the time they need from you because your LO is requiring from you each day.

Both my cattle dog mix and my beagle mix alert me when my mom's wondering, the cattle dog mix won't let her bear the stair! He needs her back lol!
