See What Mummy Says As the focus this month is pets, we thought we would introduce you to another member of the family, our first born... Max, our dog and how he has adapted to the children! We bought Max, a toy sized Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, when we lived in an annexe attached to my parents’ house. It was at this house that he had a lot of fun with a toilet roll when we were out one day! Just after his second birthday, Max’s first big change happened when he joined us as we moved to our own first home! He, of course, had all the attention throughout his first two years with us. Less than a year later, we were getting ready to welcome our daughter B and, when I was
pregnant, Max became even cuddlier than he usually was (whether it was me leading it due to maternal instincts, who knows?). When B arrived, Max instantly ran over to meet the new addition. He had a little sniff whilst wagging his tail and, from that day on, there has always been a bond. He would even place his paw on the side of the Moses basket when he slept as if protecting the baby. I will always remember when Tom arrived home late one night and Max flew off our bed, barking from the top of the stairs and growling until Tom called up to him. Any burglar would’ve been scared I’m sure... at least until they saw the mini fluff ball. When B began moving about and exploring his tail or ears, he would just let her, even with the inevitable tugging, and look over with wide eyes
