I have an alpha female basenji and brought a newborn into our family. I was in the hospital for four days (my in laws stayed with dog and horse), when we came home, we had my Mom bring her new boyfriend. He was a great distraction, but also allowed me some alone time with Cricket. When they left, she noticed the baby in the bassinet and was a bit concerned.
She adapted to the baby, but I don't leave them alone just in case. Cricket is not nearly as jealous as she was, now that he drops food for her at the table, but she did get a bit jealous for a few weeks.
While I was pregnant, I was told that 'the test' was to play baby crying videos on YouTube. How the dog reacts will tell you how they will interact with the baby. Cricket beat the crap out of my phone when I tried… So not a great test! 🙂
Baby Gecko

I have to watch Medjai a lot now, as I think he's going to eat the baby gecko in my room before I free it.
There's a baby gecko that's been living in my bedroom at least the last 3 days, and as I have to scare it out from behind the bookshelf to catch it, the gecko runs by Medjai's bed to get further away from me. Today Medjai went to his bed and started sniffing around the path of the lizard. He didn't know it was there before, but he sure does now. I hope I can get a hold of it before he can.

Me TOO!!!!

I hope so too. Mine usually steer clear of reptiles but Rally's dam excavated under the AC unit of her owner's home trying to get at lizards.

Mine loves to chase the lizards in the bushes. We ran into a small snake the other day on a walkway. He did stay back from that one. I hope you can free the little guy/girl.

How funny. Otis haven't tried getting to the lizards..yet..and we have lots around the exterior of the house ..and 1 in a terrarium in my daughter'ss room.
AS a side note however, he loves/fears the crickets we feed her lizard. When they jump, he jumps on all four feet at the same time, usually jumping backwards, it looks absolutely hilarious.. -

I will see if I can get it on video, if I do, I will post it…yes it is hilarious..

Good for the Gecko. Here in Texas we say it brings good luck to have geckos in our homes. So good luck is coming your way.
