Is are 5 year old Rottweiler Tank jealous of our new baby ,after it ripped up the baby's nursery room?
While my wife and I were visiting her very best friend With our new 2 week old baby boy.Our Rottweiler was destroying the baby's room for the second time.And when we got home my wife was on the phone to this woman telling her everything right away.And her friend told her to find another home for our beloved Rottweiler Tank(dogs name) because the dog is jealous of the new baby and might kill the new baby, and my wife told her that she is very rude and out of line and hung up on the rude woman Now our so called friend is calling back and she threatens to call animal control or child welfare
What are our rights ?
Can we get a restraining order from this crazy woman ?

If your Rottie was your "baby" before your boy came into the picture, it definitely sounds like jealousy.

I really don't think that animal control or child welfare would do anything (your dog is licensed right?), so you probably don't have to worry too much.

Definitely keep Tank away from the baby's room for awhile, though, until he gets used to having a baby in the house and all the new smells and stuff.

By the way, anyone who decides to to get on their soapbox about Rottweilers and babies being in the same house has never owned a Rott. In my experience chihuauas are nastier and more likely to bite.

Top Ten Nursery Design Tips

Nursery decorating should be a fun and enjoyable process. Unfortunately, however, many moms-to-be find the prospect of nursery design daunting and stressful.

Here are my top ten tips to help make your nursery decorating project a wonderful beginning to the awesome journey of motherhood.

1. Start Early

Start early in your second trimester when the nausea has passed (hopefully) and your energy has kicked in. Leaving it for your third trimester is a big mistake. Unless you are one of the lucky few who seem to be completely unaffected by pregnancy, you will be fast running out of steam by then!

2.Have a Plan

Have a plan before you pick up a paint brush! You will avoid much stress and many mistakes by putting in a little extra thought at the beginning.

3. Keep it Simple

Keep your design simple, including your color palette – the simpler it is, the less can go wrong.

4. Look, Look and Look Again

Spend lots of time looking at plenty of pictures before you make up your mind.

5. Draw a Floor Plan

Complete a floor plan before buying any furniture. A great way to visualize the room is to make large cutouts using the exact dimensions of your furniture. (Newspapers or plastic paint sheets work well.) Move these around on the floor until you are happy with their placement.

6. Be Practical

Make sure your design is practical. Think about how you will actually be using the room.

7. Wire Away

Make sure you complete all necessary wiring before you paint or put in a new floor. You don't want hubby angle grinding through your new wall mural!

8. Paint Samples

Paint samples of your chosen colors on each wall in the room and check them throughout the day in differing levels of light. Make sure you are happy with the way the colors look before you paint the whole room. Lighting conditions can have a dramatic effect on the way a color appears.

9. Think About Size

If your nursery room is small, stick to lighter paint and furniture. If your nursery room is large you can get away with dark furniture and you may want to warm the room up with cozy shades such as red and orange.

10. Washability!

Don’t buy anything that cannot be washed or thrown away when baby spits up, pees or poos on it!
