Tori has 2 older "siblings"- Bella (the Jack Russell) and Diablo (the American Eskimo). Bringing a preemie baby into a home with dogs caused me some concern in the beginning, because I didn't know how the dogs would react to a baby. There were a few "moments", like when Bella jumped into the pack and play because Tori was crying and she wanted to help, that gave me a scare, but overall each one is getting used to the other. Bella has been very motherly toward Tori ever since we brought her home. She is always the first one by Tori's crib when she cries and she stays close to the stroller when we take them on walks together. Diablo has just recently taken an interest in Tori, because he loves to be pet, and Tori is just now reaching out and grabbing things. Like Diablo's fur. Now he will come over and try to nuzzle his head under her hand so she will pet him. Tori is very interested in both dogs now. She loves watching them run around and play, or do tricks, and she loves Diablo's soft fur. Also Tori has started making growling noises..... I'm pretty sure she is imitating the dogs! I am glad that Tori will be able to grow up learning the love and responsibility that pets can bring to your life. As long as we include the pups in daily outings and in the things we do with Tori, everyone seems to be getting along alright. We'll see how things progress as Tori gets more mobile!
