Our oldest "baby" is turning 3 today! Hard to believe she's so big. Where did all the time go? Seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home in the car, watching her adjust to her gangly legs, suffering through sleepless nights, and "potty training" her. Wow...having a dog really did prepare us for a baby, although I will say getting Aubrey to sleep through the night was a bit easier than Harper.
But poor Aubrey, there's no party, no celebration, not even a present. I promise; we are not bad parents, but having a baby really does change everything. I just don't have the time to spend with her that I used to. No more morning walks; no more letting her chew her bone in my lap; no more wrestling with daddy in the middle of the living room. When visitors come over, she can't understand why they aren't here to see her. And nowadays, this is where she spends most of her time....
Yes, she's under our bed. It's her #1 pouting spot. My heart breaks for her, but I don't know how to change it. The baby has to come first, and she just hasn't gotten used to that yet. Maybe things will get better once Harper is older. Maybe. I just want her to be happy, and bless her heart, she just doesn't seem very happy these days.Any advice for a chocolate lab with a broken heart????
no advice... but this makes me sad for aubrey :(
