Those with dogs, what is your plan?

Molls

Long annoying dog mom post but I need advice:

I know they say to always have your dog at home when you bring home baby..

But I just feel like it will be best for my dad to take my pup for a few days. He is a hyper, jumpy, one year old pit bull, who hasn’t been around a newborn before. And this dog loves going to my dads! Not to mention every time he comes home from his house he’s worn out for days from all the playing he does there.

When we come home from our hospital stay and bring home our baby I would love to get settled in for a day and then have my dad bring the dog back to us. Is this a bad idea?

I feel like it’s a better plan than having different people come to our house to watch him. He’s more used to just going to my dads house than being thrown off by us just not coming home for a few days.

Any related experiences?
