So, Izzy is just over 4 months now. When she first arrived, our dogs were really interested in her. They wanted to sniff her and lick her fingers and all that. But it's been awhile, and now, she's nothing new. They still like her a lot. They especially like to sniff her while she's in her jumperoo, and sometimes, they'll even play with her and her toys while she's in it. They also like to do drive-by sniffs...where, as they are walking by, they just turn their heads towards her, and give her a wet sniff. And they like to be near her. They've even become calm enough that she can sit by/with them and they don't jump up or paw at her. (Of course, we are always right there, just in case.) For example, the other day, we laid Izzy down on the floor to see what the dogs would do. Eden ignored her (probably because Izzy doesn't smell like a treat). But Raisin went up to her, and sat down right next to her. They, he proceeded to put his paws on either side of his body, and tried to lay on her, resting his head on her chest. We, of course, didn't let him, since he's a 60 lb dog, but it was sweet to see him try to cuddle with her.
This is a picture of Izzy sitting with Eden. Eden will turn her head and sniff Izzy, but for the most part, she won't move. Please notice that Chris's leg is right in the background...we are NOT endangering our child.
This is one where Eden is just watching Izzy.
Here's Rai, doing a drive by sniff. Izzy is now getting to the age where she actually notices the dogs, so she has started reaching for the dogs, to touch their noses and ears. It's pretty cool.
Here's Rai, in heaven. When we first brought the papasan chair out into the living room, Rai was always trying to lay in it, but wasn't allowed because he is not an "on the furniture" dog. But for pictures sake, we let him climb in and lay down, and then sat Izzy on his butt. He didn't even pay attention to her, because we also had the camera out, and he LOVES having his picture taken.
Here's Rai, posing for the camera.
