i just hit me i have an dog and a lizard as pets , now i dont worry about the lizard because she is in the terrarium most of the time , but the dog i rise her like my own baby i did everything  with her like with a baby she thinks i give birth to her and she always been the most spoiled thing ever in this house , is no one person she meets that dont think she is to spoiled , she sleep only with me and even try s to bite my huby or any body that will touch me wile she is next to me she is allays in the same room with me and always crys even if i just close the door at the bathroom , i admit i did spoiled her to much and kiss her way to much but can help it she came in my life when i felt very alone and she was there for me all the time i love her to much . now my question is will she try to attack  my baby for attention , wile she be to depress when she will not be my only spoiled brat , how i get here to beehive when the baby will come ? i dont want her to get depress but i know she loves to be in the center of my attention. she is now 3 years old and sleeps on my stomach all the time even i turn she comes now is still ok but im scared when my belly will be bigger what to do she always sleep there .
i dont know im so confuse i love her so much and really hope she beehives when the baby comes i heard some dog do .

I have to same relationship with my dog. Your dog might actually surprise you. I know mine did. Turns out that after I had the baby she was just a protective of the baby as she was of me. I think in a way dogs sense what's going on. I agree with Sun too that the dog needs to be leashed at first and you need to correct the bad behavior from the start. Even though this dog is your baby your human baby will and should ALWAYS come first. If the dog can't get with the program it's gotta go.

When the baby comes home you need to leash the dog and correct bad behavior maybe even start now. The dog needs to learn that the baby's room is not an ok place for it to be and that when you are holding the baby the dog can't come over unless invited and that it is not allowed to be in the baby's face. Boundaries and rules make a dog feel comfortable and secure. Without these your dog will be aggressive and unmanagable. Maybe start working with a dog trainer now. Your dog needs to listen to your voice commands before you bring a child into the home.

Just never leave the baby alone with the dog AT ALL!!! A couple months ago this girl left her newborn baby alone with the dogs and they killed the baby.... The baby was in a car seat at the time and it was apparently a very grusome scene..... That happend in Quebec..... I think the mother Is going to be getting jail time

My DH and his dog have the exact same relationship as you and your dog. The only thing you can really do is wait and see what happens. Maybe have the dog stop laying on your stomach first which will be hard to do but if you keep repeating that it can't lay there anymore then it probably wont be and issue once your stomach starts getting bigger. As far as when the actual baby comes maybe have your hubby bring a blanket home from the hospital before you get there so that the dog can smell the baby and when you bring the baby home let your dog have a chance to sniff it. Its probably going to be jealous but I doubt unless it has a hostile temperament that it is going to do anything to the baby. Our dog acts like my 2 year old daughter is another dog but she pretty much lets her do whatever she wants to her.
