Pint-sized Guard Dog

When we first found out we were going to have little Little Man, there was a lot of talk (and concern) about how our "first" child, 3-year old chihuahua "Daisy",would handle the new sibling. Just to be on the safe side, Daisy spent the first 4 weeks of Little Man's life at Nana's house getting lots of love and attention while mommy and daddy adjusted to life with Little Man. Now that Daisy is back in her rightful seat as first child, she has become quite protective of her "little brother". At any given time she can be found sleeping near him, guarding his crib or chasing after someone who gave him a tummy raspberry or picked him up too quickly. Daisy has been known to wake either of us with not-so-gentle shoves in the middle of the night if Little Man gets too fussy and is never more than a few steps away from her little guy.
