We've been fielding a number of questions about how our dog Brody is reacting to Ava's arrival. These questions are not without merit. This is how Brody responded to the news that we were adding a family member:
Initial progress was slow.
We admit we were a bit worried ourselves when Brody spent the first 24 hours of Ava’s homecoming matching her every cry with a whimper, whine, or bark of his own. And, sure, we weren’t exactly ecstatic when he tried to hop in the bassinet with her. However, things have calmed down significantly over the last few days. Just don’t expect him to be babysitting solo anytime soon.
What can we say? Brotherhood looks good on Brody.
