Siblings

Before conception:

Abbey: Dominant bitch that she has always been.

Vinnie: Happy go lucky, wound for sound, could hurt you with his lack of coordination. Wonders when he's getting fed night by night.

First & Second trimesters:

Abbey: Same as above

Vinnie: Same as above

Third trimester:

Abbey: Some belly sniffing, seeking more attention. Know's somethings up.

Vinnie:Same as above

After Max's birth, but before he came home:

Abbey: The most sweet, consoling, sisterlike little dog you've ever seen. Know's there's supposed to be a baby, but with Max not home, seems to console Mom with non-stop licks, kisses and cuddling.

Vinnie: Just sort of lost. Know's something is up, but not what. Wonders who's going to feed him night by night.

Max comes home:

Abbey: Mom #2. Any little chirp from the boy Mom or Dad doesn't attend to, Abbey is right there checking on him. Keeps a close eye on anyone who holds him. Every now and then a soft little kiss on Max's face.

Vinnie: Very mellow unless someone new visits the house or it's dinner time. Any chance he gets he's curled up next to were Max is sleeping. Can't walk by the boy without planting a big slobering lick across the top of his head or face, whichever is closer.

And we were worried...
