My dogs went INSANE when I brought home a baby. From out of nowhere they started regressing, peeing and pooping indoors, and needing to pee in the middle of the night --like they hadn't been potty trained for 2 years before???? I had to start getting up to let the DOGS OUT in the night, even when my 3 month-old was sleeping through the night. They sense SO MUCH. Now my Border Collie spends entire days moving every time I move. He's within inches of my feet at all times. Makes me insane, but also makes me wonder what he senses. That, or he's had it and is trying to trip me so I'll tumble down the stairs and he'll be rid of me.

Judi,
That is exactly what I’ve been afraid of.

Ha! Yours are super sweet because you aren’t forcing them outside the house at the moment! Now that they know what is out there they’ve resorted to kissing your butt just so they can stay indoors. LOL!!!

Nice response Judi. That couldn't have been a more cryptic response. lol. My cats are being super sweet right now, so I don't know what your problem is. I'm so mean. Your blog had me rolling on the floor. Janelles last blog post..All ten toes & a good laugh

I guess it could be the season change making them all nutty huh? Never thought of that.

They could be having spring fever just like me, ha! Or the are just getting all jealous and crazy because they sense we care more about Tater… Hm.

I have nothing to offer on pets. With the exception of a cat that was an indoor/outdoor cat, all of ours have been outdoor pets. Well, there was another dog that was an indoor one that we gave away shortly after the first baby was born. I don't think Susie (a toy poodle) would have hurt the baby, I think she was jumping into the crib to help mother, but I couldn't handle it.

I dont’ know if it’s the weather or spring maybe… but my cats have been off the wall too. They have been constantly jumping on our counters in the kitchen, which is nasty and drives me nuts, and our little kitty jumps into the kitchen sink and drinks the water.If there are dishes in the sink, I will usually put water in them to soak and he drinks that nasty water too. he loves getting into the bath tub when u start running the water. As soon as he hears it, he will dart from wherever he is at, and runs like a crazy cat into the tub,lol. If we shut the door and don’t let him in, he will stand outside the door and put his little paws underneath the door and he makes these wierd ” meow” noises until you get out.
As far as the baby goes, they have been really good around him. Our older cat Angel, goes and sits by him and Riley will grab her fur and have a death grip on her, and she just sits there and lets him do it, unless he grabs her tail. Our smaller cat Stewart, just ignores Riley. But one thing, we have to make sure our bedroom door is closed because they like to jump in the crib. Angel likes to try to sleep in it and Stewart just wants to play in it.

Did u read my post about the exact same thing? My dog has taken to wanting to poo in the baby’s room, we have to keep the door shut, she just keeps going in there and doing it, then coming out. She has NEVER done it before. So pets must be able to sense that something new is coming. I was SO mad at her that I cried. YUCK.
