Sudo has been absolutely wonderful towards her - he’ll come give the top of her head a small kiss when she gets fussy and then backs off to let us take care of the cause. I’ll try to catch his =/ face the next time I tell him it’s his turn to change the diaper

    It’s awesome when animals recognize that they’re a part of the team watching over little people. Congrats! And give Sudo a treat for being awesome.

      Right? We always knew he was a sorry for babies and kids but are incredibly thankful that he’s taking it so well. I gave him a jackpot treat session when he gave her space after the first kiss and we’ve been reinforcing each one since.

      And thank you!
