I think my girl Satin (a black lab/pit bull mix) knows the baby is coming relatively soon. In the past week or two, she has been obsessed with "cleaning" me. All she wants to do is lick my legs and feet when I'm at my computer or if she's in bed with us she wants to lick my face and hands. She also wants to cuddle real close to me and put her head on the baby. It's really cute. I think she will be a great big sis!

One of my younger cats, Jake, used to be more of a loner type, and didn't want to be touched much (before I was pregnant). Now he follows me around, sleeps beside me, and is one of the most loving cats I've seen! He also has started chasing his own tail. =)

My Border Collie hides in our walk-in closet when I am home by myself. He didn't start this until I was nine months pregnant. When my husband is home he is fine. When I first became pregnant, he followed me around the house and got up with me in the middle of the night when I had 'morning' sickness.

Well, funny you ask! My Jack Russel Terrier has always been lovey-dovey with my significant other and myself for the past 8 months since we've got him as a pup. Now more then ever in the past month I think he has sensed that i'm expecting so his new thing that he has been doing has been either attacking my boyfriend or my dad if they come close to me. It's funny when women come around he doesn't do much, but if males give me a hug etc, he get's so upset! Another thing too is that when I cry (obviously for no reason hehe), he looks at my face and then starts licking me and lies on my belly! I think it's really cute, hopefully when the baby comes he'll be protective of him or her! :0)

Wow, I was just telling someone yesterday that my puggle, who is normally very attached to my husband, has been acting exceptionally clingy to me. I even asked them if they thought the dog could sense that I am pregnant. I'm 16 weeks. Broady (the puggle) now lays beside me whenever I'm on the couch and he follows me around more than usual. He's got tons of kisses and it really seems like he's trying to care for me. I love it. :)

I have 3 dogs and 2 of them have completly turned against me. They have been growling at me, and my Samoyed will show me her teeth and it really scares me because she is such a big dog, and then my Shiba Inu has tried to bite me and he has already scratched my arm up. My other dog is still the same...shy and sweet. I have no idea what to do because I am afraid of what the other 2 might do, I have to leave them all outside all day because I am scared they might really hurt me or the baby. I wish all of mine were really sweet and protecting :(
