My baby and babysitter

[tinley]

My tia has all those traits and she is a big baby and a babysitter she will be on my lap belly up and snoozing like a 2yr child but the minute my 1yr son makes the slightest sound she runs to his aid to lick his fingers and toes, they will play forever if i let them, and just recently she has learned to bring him toys and he will throw them and she will get them again, were working on taking the sippy cup to him, she is quite the mom, but the minute i am not looking when he is in his highchair tia will open her mouth and he will feed her cherios all the way in the back of her mouth! I was a little frightend to see this the first time but after having her for 6mo she has never left even a scratch mark, only some drool. Oh did I mention she has the worst gas, and can jump a 7 foot chain link fence!

I would just make sure you never leave them alone together. It only takes a minute for an accident or misunderstanding, and then you can have a badly injured skin or furkid.

With that out of the way, it sounds WONDERFUL at your house. I love such stories and hope to see pictures in your gallery showing off your lovely duo!

You might want to try a small serving of plain (not vanilla, totally plain) yogurt once a day in the meal, it has been known to help lessen or stop the gas. I do it once a day and I have not smelled a puppy gas attack yet I use a normal teaspoon and just give one heaping serving with it at lunch time.

That just sounds too cute, but Eric J is right, supervised is BEST!

Eric...thanks for the tip. Hammer could use some yogurt...
