I need help! Baby has some issues.

Maybe Baby needs to have a vet check up to rule out anything medical. Sometimes dogs act up when there is something wrong! I hope you find out what's going on with Baby soon so you know how to fix the problem.

I agree with Sanford 8916 about checking out a medical reason first. It could be food aggression or it could be that she was just having problems with so many other dogs being around (your mother's two I assume are not usually there).

I don't want to seem like a worriwart but I would have some concerns with you soon bringing a newborn infant into a home with a dog that is now giving you some concerns. I would surely watch her carefully and separate her from any dogs whenever you aren't present. I know that is almost silly advice as I am sure you will do that.

When one adopts a dog with an unknown past (as I did with Ripley) there are always concerns. Fortunately I have never (in three years) seen anything worrisome. That said, if I had real worries with how he related to Bella, I would have had to do what was in Bella's best interests. Thank God I didn't have to. I am sending you big (((hugs))) because I know you just want one big happy family and I am sure that the stress of being *slightly overdue* is not helping at all. (My own son was 16 days late! )

I agree about watching the baby. With any dog or any pet, I would never let a animal in the face of a baby. They have had in the news about even a 6 week old puppy, trying to nurse they think, eating off the toes of a baby what was in a carrier. And its the parents fault- they left the baby in a carrier verses a crib... Understanding that a baby doesnt smell like a person, act like a person etc is totally vital..

Oh believe me.. No dog would ever come before my child.
Anything I have to do to insure the safety of her will happen.

Baby must have just woken up on the wrong side of the bed yesterday because today she's acting normal again and isn't acting like a scrooge like she was yesterday.. However, we aren't taking any chances and are keeping a very close eye on her.
