Toe to toe

Before Toby came along, there were two men in my life; and no, Aaron wasn't one of them. The two men were/are Bing and Manny.

Right after Toby was born, Manny was all about Toby. He loved, loved, loved him. Manny still received a good amount of attention too. He would snuggle right in with us.

Now that Toby is mobile, Manny see's him more as competition. While they still get along, Toby requires more from me than he used to and, I'd be lying if I said this didn't slight Manny a little bit.

These days I use a gate in my house. Not because I need to keep the dogs away from Toby, but because I need to keep Toby away from the dogs. He gets obsessed. He loves animals. While I do integrate them for several hours per day, I feel like they still need time to be free of a groping baby.

Sometimes, Manny just can't stand to be away from Toby... or Mama.

I agree. The pups need their alone time, although one of them doesnt seem to think so. He'll thank you once Toby gets faster and stronger though!! ;)
