What's a Baby?

When we brought our son home from the hospital, Sadie was very excited and curious. And as such, when she took her first peek (and sniff) at him, I couldn't help but notice how reminiscent it was of Lady finding out all about human babies...

Lady: Oh, what's a baby?
Jock: Well, they. They resemble humans.
Trusty: But I’d say a mite smaller.
Jock: Aye, and they walk on all fours.
Trusty: And if I remember correctly they “beller” a lot.
Jock: Aye and they are very expensive. You’ll not be permitted to play with it.
Trusty: But they’re mighty sweet.
Jock: And very, very soft.

(about 2:30 into the clip is when Lady gets her first glimpse of the new baby)

Just as Lady discovered Jim Dear and Darling's baby in Disney's "Lady and the Tramp" was something wonderful...

Sadie quickly realized that what we brought home must be something grand...."'Cause everybody's smiling, In a kind and wistful way..."



Even Jack was a little bit curious!



Although he might be considered one of the antagonists of our family, Jack didn't attempt to steal the baby's milk as Si and Am conspired to do in the movie!



Luckily for our dog, the Tramp was wrong when he stated "a human heart has only so much room for love and affection. When a baby moves in, the dog moves out."
As you can see, she is still claiming her rightful spot on the couch!
