The Animals and Blake



When I got pregnant a question I got asked a lot was "what are you going to do with your animals?" Dumb question. What do people think I am going to do with my animals? Get rid of them? You must be joking! Yes, I love my son, but i love my animals too and they were just all going to have to figure out how to get along. Didn't think I would have a problem with it and I was right. The animals like Blake and Blake likes the animals. Uno, our one-eyed cat, absolutely loves him and takes every opportunity she can get to rub up on him. Rusty, our brown dog, likes to be near him. One morning I put Blake in the bed with me because he was getting fussy and the next thing I know, Brown (cat) is laying next to him. I guess Blake liked the warmth because when Brown laid up against him, he quit fussing. It was really sweet. The pediatrician, and books I have read say that children are less likely to have allergies to animals when they grow up if they are introduced to them at a young age. That will be great if it's true!
