Chris and I swore up and down that things would not change our relationship with Payton and Hank once Nick was born-and for the most part it hasn't. Payton and Hank are two of the most loved dogs in the world but I can't help but wonder everytime I look at them if they are sad.The day my water broke we took them to Chris' mom's house and the car ride their Hank and Payton were very calm and had a worried look on their faces. Chris went to see them everyday that I was in the hospital but I was away from them for 4 days. I know what some of you are thinking "they are just dogs" but to me and Chris our dogs are family! I know they must have been so worried that I had left-and when I did come back home I had a new little baby in my arms. I remember Paytons reaction when I first brought Hank home. It was exactly the same until he realized he had a buddy to play with! :-)I can't wait til Nick is old enough to play with them!!!!
I was holding Nick in my lap the other day and Hank kept trying to get my attention. When I went upstairs later that day and was rocking Nick to sleep in the recliner-Hank got up there with me and I rocked him too!!! Today I took Payton and Hank on a very long walk and a car ride-just like old times! I am not worried about how they are acting with the baby. They are very protective of him already and they are always worried about him when he cries-Sooooo Sweet!!!! I just want them to know how much we still love them!
