That's about it. Every once in awhile he plays tug o war with him and his rope. </p> <p>Our younger son (15m) is obsessed with the dog. He chases him, hugs him, tries to kiss him...it's never ending. </p> <p>Our dog is 10 and probably would rather be left alone 90% of the time lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-kidspets-interact#post-2648272 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 17:41:32 +0000 PawPrints 2648272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD adores our two dogs. My favorite thing she does is pick up their collars and run after them holding out the collar demanding that they put it back on. And she gets it right which collar goes on which dog. </p> <p>Also she treats them like baby dolls, spreading her doll blankets out over their backs and patting them saying "Night night!" Then when she leaves for daycare in the morning she says "Bye-bye dogs!"</p> <p>The dogs are fine with her and treat her pretty much the same as they do us, but with some extra wariness when she comes by that she might touch their paws, which they hate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-kidspets-interact#post-2648261 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 16:59:32 +0000 snowjewelz 2648261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The dog mainly hangs around for food. DD loves playing with our dog! She pets her, tells her to do tricks, feeds her, throws her toys, etc. Our dog is older tho so not as enthusiastic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-kidspets-interact#post-2648090 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 12:01:30 +0000 FaithFertility 2648090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD and our dog kind of co exsist<br /> She will sneak him food that he gladly takes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-kidspets-interact#post-2648001 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 09:34:54 +0000 808love 2648001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO loves her dog. They still only cuddle and play about ten minutes on most days but yesterday she initiated taking her on a hike with her dad.. LO would be heartbroken if anything happened to her and she writes stories or draws pictures of her frequently. She said our dog is like a sister and wants a job dealing with dogs in the future. My theory is that because she doesn't have a sibling, she holds on to loving our dog even more so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-kidspets-interact#post-2647995 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 09:30:35 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2647995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest currently hates our dog.<br /> My middle is obsessed with both the dog and cats. The usually standoffish boy cat seems to really like her. He sleeps on her bed at night and refuses to leave.<br /> The baby is interested in all animals but they don't really pay attention to her. The dog I think is still annoyed from when she was crossing and would pull up on her coat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-kidspets-interact#post-2647991 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 09:28:42 +0000 MrsBrewer 2647991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They interact a lot more these days! DD is 17 months, and 2 labs are 3 and 4, so still young and full of energy! DD has just started to throw a ball for the dogs (granted only about 2-3 feet in front of her...) and she loves their tails! the dogs will be walking around and DD will walk behind the dogs like swatting their tails, never pulling, she's very gentle. Then the dogs go up and lick her face. The dogs are so amazing with DD, and she adores them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-kidspets-interact#post-2647884 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 06:17:05 +0000 erinbaderin 2647884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: Yeah, it's funny - at a certain point she loses interest, she doesn't care about B, but when they're on the ground she's all over them. She also likes to push her head against him when he's in the Jolly Jumper so he spins in circles, and walk between his legs so he's riding her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-kidspets-interact#post-2647878 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 06:09:52 +0000 travellingbee 2647878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: that is suuuper cute! A cat that loves babies! Ahhhh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-kidspets-interact#post-2647877 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 06:07:54 +0000 erinbaderin 2647877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B goes back and forth - sometimes he likes to pet the cats, sometimes he shoves them away from him wailing "Noooo!" W is fascinated by them, and one of our cats is obsessed with babies, so she's constantly flopping down basically on top of him while he stuffs her tail in his mouth. </p> [attach=6329/16/og46x6.600x450.IMG_2468.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-your-kidspets-interact#post-2647674 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 19:23:14 +0000 travellingbee 2647674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do they "play" or ignore each other? My kids seem to like the dog but also don't really play him. But he's getting older and isn't as playful anymore. I imagined them being best friends but they are more like roommates. :bummed: </p>
