I have 2 yorkie girls. Sadie is 4 yrs old and Lillie will be 3yrs old next month. I have had them since they were puppies. My daughter recently had a baby. Eva is 10 months old now. I have the baby at LEAST once a week. The girls (fur) are VERY interested in her...However...it's on THEIR terms. They will go over to her and lick her head (and face if I let them!) But, if she reaches out to touch them the jump back. When I hold the baby I will hold one of the dogs and let the baby pet them...They don't like this AT ALL!! Matter of fact Sadie has growled at her. On the other hand they are very protective of her. If she is playing with her toys on the floor they will lay on the blanket next to her but, just far enough away so she can't touch them. If the cat should walk by they will attack him. When she wakes up from her nap they will run to her crib and cry until I pick her up...Like I said.....they like her on THEIR terms..I would NEVER just them...they are (my babies) but, they are still an animal.
