This week a couple of our friends are staying with us including their newborn daughter Miss Itty Bitty. The little one is only 8 days old and very tiny. My boys (dogs) pretty much ignore her unless my husband or I are holding her and then my Shih Tzu goes beserk with jealousy. My older male could care less.
Perhaps it's my fault for not teaching him better manners or spoiling him. He's been treated as a member of the family since he was 7 weeks old. He's never been treated as a dog and he's not used to sharing me with human babies. Every second of his day he is within a few feet of me, he insists on it.
He's jealous of hubby and sleeps between us at night. Jealous of my other dog and cat. Jealous of whatever takes my attention away from him. He's just jealous, plain and simple. A baby ball of hair.
Oh well.
