Coming Home

We were able to leave the hospital 3 days after I delivered. And we were both ready to get Macy home to meet her Big Brother. We have wondered the past 9 months just how Spencer would react to the fact that he would have a new baby in the house... that would NOT be leaving. He is 8 years old and has been my puppy since he was 6 weeks old. So he has never had to share his momma with anyone. And he is a momma's boy! He has always been okay with our nieces and nephews and never aggressive or anything. However we could always tell he really didn't care to be around them to much especially when they would cry. So he always spends a lot of time in his crate when they are around.

Jeff brought home a couple of Macy's diaper shirts she wore while she was in the hospital and put in his crate with him so he could get a good smell of her. And he has seemed to do pretty good with her so far. He does not seem to be near as nervous with her or her cry's as he has the other kids. He seems very curious about her and when she does cry he needs to check it out and make sure she is okay. I think he knows she is ours and she is her to stay.
