| Buddy fka CP Sainted Riley and his New Sister, Lena! |
Our
first Foster boy, Sainted Riley (now Buddy) was adopted almost 5 yrs. ago by a
wonderful guy in Ohio.
He got married 2 years ago and, in early July, they had a new baby girl, Lena.
Adam wrote to me a few months ago and asked if I had any suggestions as to how to prepare Buddy and Mia (he also adopted his Foster girl) for Lena's arrival.
I told him to buy a large baby doll and to wrap it up in a blanket and carry it around, rock it at night, and put it in the swing and crib various times during the day/evening. I told him to let the Cairns sniff and lay next to the pretend baby, but to teach them not to step on the baby or to yank or pull the blanket.
I also told him to bring home a receiving blanket from the hospital that Lena had been swaddled in - and the messier the blanket the better!
He did all of those things, and they are doing great - especially Buddy! They are always with them, as in right next to them at all times, but Adam and his wife are extremely please with the canine/baby bonding process.
