Meet the Dogs!!!

The ride from the hospital was uneventful much to everyone's relief. Jack settled into the car seat like a pro and slept the half an hour along the Pacific Coast Highway. We get to our complex and once we go through the security gates it's less than a minute to the house.

Dad pulls into the drive and it's everybody out and into the house, everyone lets out a big SIGH and drops into the couches. It's quite peaceful, the dogs are in the yard at the moment.

After five minute pass the dogs start their normal antics of tap, tapping, on the door wanting to come in, after all they hadn't seen mom for a couple of days and they were eager to smother her in kisses.

OK it's time to let them in, the door's opened and in they fly, a total disregard of manners, it's a free for all. There is the initial greeting and then they get the scent of something that is not normal. They sense the cradle and there's something inside, their curiosity gets the better of them and they start nudging the cradle to get a little closer to whatever it is that's inside.

What you have to realize is, these dogs are not small, they're Newfoundlands!!

The bouncing of the cradle from the dogs instantly wakes up Jack and this little high pitched cry sounds from within. This instantly stops the dogs in their tracks, then there's this loud WOOF! This just intensifies the wailing from Jack, as we try to reassure the dogs that everything is OK.

We know the dogs are good with kids but how will they be towards Jack?

Well, we soon found out, as they covered him in a slimy drool with their lick of approval.
