And for my next trick. . .

BabyK has graduated from open-mouthed kisses with the dog to simply sticking his tounge out when she approaches so they can touch tounges. All together now, eeewwwwwwwwwww.

ha ha ha! My 3 year old boy child tries to share his sippy with our dog. That thought never ever crossed my daughters' minds when they were toddlers.

They say a dog's mouth is cleaner than ours...right???? These are the moments to remind him of in 16 or so years

Are you getting pictures of this?

[ladymoreta]

LOL! I'm sorry - I'm laughing *with* you, right?!

Be really really careful. Dogs can still be instinctual and bite... Dh was bitten in the mouth by a seemingly sweet fluffy dog and had to have stitches at 10 months.

[MrsK]

Oh, I know! Initially, I was really spooked when the dog approached the baby and very squeemish about allowing her near his face. But now it's nearly impossible to keep them apart and I don't know what I'm going to do when he starts crawling. For the time being, I'm just making sure I'm right on top of them when they are together and I'm trying to teach him not to pull her hair or bug her when she tires of him. At the same time, I've trying to encourage her to only lick him below the knee but that's not going very well. Michele, any tips?

[alison]

Yeah, I figured you'd be on top of things. It just makes me very nervous, because dd adores dogs and can spot them a mile away!

It's so hard when they can crawl and move about. Dd has brusises and scrapes on her face from when she pulls herself up, can't quite keep her balance, and falls onto or against things. She's pretty unsteady, so she's banged up!

[moonlight]

OMG! No!!!! hahahaha! You've got to get a pic of this!!

[peggyfromwastate]

I join in on the *eeeeewwwww*

but good pics to put in the old slideshow at the wedding, or at the residency dinner, etc.

I don't know of a good way to train a dog to only lick a certain area on someone else. Maybe constant redirection?

If it is anything like this, it is probably cute!

Pretty gross, but cute and funny.

I use to nanny for a little girl whose dog was very protective of her. When anyone (including her parents) tickled her the dog would get really upset and start growling at you to stop. We finally trained him that it was OK and that the giggles were good, not bad, but he was very very protective of her. Then when she started crawling and going after him he went and hid so his tail didn't get pulled again.
