[NAGDU] Dog and baby, was something like guilty dog mom

[Tracy Carcione]

This is to the person who wrote last week about having a new baby and
feeling bad because she wasn't working her dog much.  I was hoping some of
the other people, people who actually have kids, would chirp up, but maybe
they're too busy with their kids.  

And I'm sorry I forgot your name.  

Is it possible to put the baby in its carrier or stroller, harness up the
dog, and just go for a walk?  Or, now the weather is getting warmer, stroll
over to a local park and sit and a bench?  There might even be other mothers
doing the same thing.  

No complicated baby equipment required.  

Or, and this is me, I'd try to get the father or someone to watch the baby
for a bit, maybe even a whole hour, so I could get out and get a break.  I
don't do so well when I feel like I'm confined to the house.  

 

You also said you'd be returning to work, so things would change then.  With
a bit of work here and there, your dog could probably relax until then.
Though I'm sure she'd love to get out and work when you can.

Sure hope some of the people with kids chime in. I know some of them have
decided having a dog was too much extra work, and some have not.
