I have kids and I have Labs. I am a responsible dog owner and safety of my children always come first.
However I do not think it is wrong to let my child interact with my dogs. I know my dogs and one of the reason I have Labs is because of there nature with children.
I do not think it is wrong for my Labs to sniff out the baby or even giver her lick or 2. The baby actually smiles when the Labby licks her feet and by interacting with each other they are both getting introduced to each other and will not fear each other.
I’m sure someone will come up with some scientific study about some 1 in a million diseases or germ transfer that you can catch from a dog but you could also get something by breathing our toxic air or drinking from our public water supply.
I know enough not to leave the baby and dogs alone, I always take into consideration the size and weight of a lab vs baby But taking her bare feet and rubbing the doggie with them she giggles and the doggie loves it. I don’t see what the problem is…
I have had a few non dog owner friends and family members say to me that I need to keep them apart. I disagree with them. If I didn’t want them to interact I wouldn’t have gotten a dog when I was planning on having kids.
And if I see one more listing on Craig’s List or in the paper on how someone has a new baby and the doggy must go… they should take a look at these pictures.
