Hi please can i have some advice, I recently had a baby and I’m really struggling with managing my 3 dogs. Just a bit of background we had been trying for a very long time and didn’t think we would ever have a baby and had been advised it may never happen. We have had the oldest dog for 8 years the other 2 are slightly younger.
The 2 girls have had some spats/fights since baby has been around which has never happened before And the other dog has been stopping the other 2 from coming near whoever is holding baby when we’re downstairs like a defensive thing. I’ve been with baby upstairs on and off due to my recovery as the birth was very traumatic and I can’t sit downstairs for too long but I’m making the effort to show the dogs her regularly.
I feel I can give the dogs the attention they need anymore and they need someone who can be there for them. I’m also worried that they would go for the baby once she was crawling as they’ve already tried nibbling her on her feet which I obviously stopped immediately.
I have contacted a charity who specialised in rehoming the breed I have and have been in tears every day about it. Has anyone else had to re home their pets? Please be kind I’ve sacrificed so much for the dogs over the years to the point of working night shifts so they’re never alone for long in the daytime.
