Animals do the strangest things....
They do, because I truly think just 'think different'! I'm sure Drake is fully aware of what's happening and his protective instinct is running at full force. Just wait until he has 'his' baby!!
We had an Akita who was totally frightening to all strangers, but my youngest son, Dirk used Teddy's fur to pull himself up and Teddy would walk so s l o w l y so Dirk could toddle along beside him. If Dirk climbed up anything, you could hear the screech all over the house from Dirk's frustration: Teddy would have a firm hold of his diapers to keep him from getting too high. What a wonderful part of your life you're beginning! I can't wait to hear the stories!!!
