Dogs and Rowan

When Rowan was in hospital, we left a bit of muslin in his cot and brought it home with us after a couple of days.  We let the dogs sniff it so they could get used to Rowan's smell before we brought him home.  Willow wasn't in the slightest bit interested, but Tangent was fascinated (in a waggy tail, happy sort of way, not a predatory 'thanks for the snack' way).

So, when we finally brought Rowan home, the dogs' reactions to him weren't a surprise to us.  Willow essentially pretended he didn't exist, sulked for a couple of days and pretty much ignores him (although we have caught her having the odd surreptitious sniff of the Moses basket).

Unimpressed Willow.

 Tangent, however, is really taken with him.  He watches the Moses basket and stares at it intensely when Rowan makes any kind of noise.  He also sits close to the changing mat when we change Rowan's nappy, and also by the playmat.  Although I think the latter is more because he quite fancies the playmat as an epic dog bed, complete with awesome dangly toys.

Obsessive Tangent.  We hope they will be good

playmates when Rowan is older.
