After much debate we've decided that the best plan for Mr. Buddy after Shelby's arrival is to go to stay with his Grammy and Papa at the lake for one week.
We were both really torn about whether or not this was the right decision but after talking to a lot of people(including some of your comments), we decided that it's best for us to get one week of parenting under our belt then bring Buddy back into the mix.
As I've mentioned here before, Buddy tends to get stressed during major life changes.
When I have moved in the past and even the week before our wedding he has quit eating and gets what is called 'stress colitis', which is just a nice term for diarrhea every hour on the hour.
We live in a 3-story town home and I just have this vision of having that happen along with a new baby and it makes me really worried about our sanity.
We figured after 1-week we'll be more equipped to handle that if and when it does happen.
My in-laws are AWESOME with a capital 'A' when it comes to keeping Buddy!!!

That's cute. I think that may be a very wise decision.
ohhh, I hope that works!
Is he a high maintenance dog? Does he go away a lot?
scratch that. I missed the part about his stress. Ya, he might do better away!
We did the same thing with our dog.
Good decision.
Just worked out better.
