And they called it puppy love


Babies love pets. Well, maybe not all babies, but my baby? Loves em. Pretty sure he would marry our cat if she would have him. We are teaching him "gentle" extremely early due to my cat's desire to have a coat of hair this winter, and my dog's love of her ears. It is uncanny Oliver's ability to seek out an animal from anywhere in a room, focus in on it, and use his Jedi powers to trick the poor beast into coming close enough for him to get his sticky infant hands on their fur. Currently, our cat is teaching Oliver how to crawl by being close enough for Oliver to almost reach her and then scooting back a step. She also is sometimes a platform for Ollie to pull up on. This is not her favorite game.

Activities to do when you are a baby and you love animals

Read together!

Playing tug of war can be fun, but beware the chompers!!

Wear them as a hat!

Ride them to town.
