When we adopted our daughter 18mo ago, we tried to get our dog Willy(3yrs old at the time) used to children ahead of time. I took him to the park, had our nieces & nephews come around. Mandi was 11 mo old when we brought her home from China, so due to where she was we couldn't get Willy used to anything with her scent. But after we were gone for 17 days, Willy was so glad to see us he didn't care who we brought home with us. He couldn't give us & the new baby enough kisses. He was very curious about her & went wherever she did. We keep telling him this is his little girl too and he needs to protect her. Whenever we go to the park he doesnt want anything to go near her stroller & is very protective of her. Mandi & Willy still fight over who is going to sit on my lap, usually they are both on my lap. We have been very fortunate as our Willy has taken very quickly to our daughter & loves her to pieces.
