Great tip. Thanks! I was amazed in how tolerant Reesie was when we introduced her to our new baby. She is very patient in letting Abbie chew, but she does have her limits also and will let Abbie know to stop without hurting her. What's funny is Reesie is almost 11 pounds and Abbie is 5 months and only a little over 3 pounds, but Abbie attacks her like she's the same size as Reesie. Reesie could really hurt her if she wanted to, but she just takes her paw and pushes her away. She's our tea pot size baby but I wouldn't change a thing.
