    Dog + Baby + Lap = Pure Contentment

    @kristinmargaret Report

    My dog’s found her perfect spot - right under the nursing pillow, ready to prop things up AND keep an eye. Plus, the cat’s lurking nearby, because where else would they be? I’ve got my own animal dream team!

    Parents called her mean, but she was my sanity saver. Diagnosed with kidney disease, she crossed her rainbow bridge last May at 16. Miss her like crazy.

    @eisleyimages Report

    Years of solo parenting from home meant Artie was my constant. Now he’s the wise old pup we spoil. From pregnancy drama to potty training chaos, this guy’s been through it all.

    German Shepherd Who Doubled as Baby’s Bodyguard and Nursemaid

    @brandilynntn Report

    Thought my shepherd would eat my twins postpartum, but nope, she switched to super-mom mode! From tummy-time rescuing to endless nighttime watch, she’s basically the fur version of me.
