Sweet Sage

We had to say goodbye to cute little Sage today, our nearly 2 year old little visitor, and boy has it been an entertaining visit! I was not prepared for dealing with Salvador with a baby around, but in the end he didn't do all that bad! 

On Day 1 there was much excitement with the arrival of the new guest and their tiny little human. It took a while for Salvador to realize that he can jump up on her as he is most likely heavier than her. We decided to go to the beach, which went down well with both baby and pooch and the rest of the night was spent getting acquainted with the new guests.

 On Day 2 Salvador battled to grasp the idea of sharing spaces (couch, room,everything etc) and his mom with the little new comer. As we all well know, Salvador is not that keen on sharing so he got a bit upset whenever little baby entered any of his areas - at which he would bark at her every now and then, but luckily he soon got over his territorial nonsense.

Very early on he learned that babies are a constant source of interesting foods (I can't even imagine what he has been eating for the last 3 day...everything from strawberries to baby formula) and followed her around EVERYWHERE, in case a morsel was dropped. 

All in all it has been relatively stress free introducing him to a baby. I can imagine that the thought of introducing a new baby to the family and its dog can be a daunting one, but I think it's something that will take a lot of time and patience. With a bit of both, it can be done!
