For a while now, I've been convinced that Riley knows what's up. By that, I mean, he knows I'm expecting. I've always considered him extremely intelligent (what mother doesn't think her furbaby is brilliant??) but I'm really convinced he has ESP. I know that dogs are really good at picking up on mood changes and all that jazz, but from very early on he was extra lovey with me. When we first found out we were pregnant he would walk by me and lick my leg, which was entirely unusual. He's always been a snuggler but a fly-by dog kiss wasn't his thing ever before. As for sleeping arrangements, he is usually all over the bed (up by our heads, down by our feet, snuggled between the pillows, etc) but since I've become pregnant he wants to sleep by my stomach for as long as his little body can stand the heat. This is true for our couch time together in the evenings as well. He has taken to laying across my lap in such a fashion that one of his ears is propped right up against my belly. I'm curious if he can hear our little guy in there.
