My two babes: Malina 3 months, Pumba 7 1/2 years :)
Malina 8 months, Bella 6 years
Malina is obsessed with our two dogs Bella and Pumba. She directed her first smile at Bella, squeals and yells when either walk by, and delights in pulling/patting/hitting/kicking whichever one lets her. We were extremely nervous when we first brought Malina home from the hospital because Bella stayed up all night whining and whimpering beside Malina's crib. That was the last night the dogs slept in the house...I couldn't handle more than one crying baby during the nighttime hours. Over the past eight months Malina has developed a bond with each of the dogs: Bella is Malina's companion and protector, whereas Pumba is entertainment (Malina thinks it's funny when he attempts to bite her).
