Best Buds?

Jillian's umbilical cord fell off. I've never been a fan and was happy when it fell off last Sunday evenning. After I finally found it in her sleeper, I showed it to James and then threw it away. I know some people save them but I had no intention to do so.

The next day we had a doctor's appointment and we were telling the nurse that her cord had fallen off. She asked if we had kept it and I told her no. James then proceeded to ask me what I had done with it. I told him that I had thrown it in the trash. He questioned which trash can, asking if it had been the one in Jillian's room. I said yes and he just made a face. I thought he was upset with me because he had wanted me to keep it. At this point James and Granny were both laughing and I had no clue what was going on. As soon as the nurse walked out, James informed me that Bandit had eaten Jillian's umbilical cord! Apparently Bandit was being his normal self that morning and barking at an animal out the window in Jillian's room. He knocked over the trash can and the next thing James knew he was chomping down on something very crunchy sounding! Very disgusting but a great story for the baby book! Who knew they would become such close buds so quickly.

  1. Too funny! I'm so glad to hear that Bandit and Jillian hit it off. I really want to come visit and meet her. Sam was sick this weekend, so I got caught up with that. I hope y'all are doing great! Can't wait to see you and her. Hopefully very soon. Hugs, Michelle

  2. Too funny -

    Puppies snack on the oddest things. When Laura was twenty days old, I went to change her diaper. I remember looking at the dried stump on her belly and wondering when it would fall off (as the pediatrician had told us that it would be off by three weeks). After I bent down to get the wipes, I straightened up to the sight of a stumpless belly. After the diaper had been fastened and the child secured in the bouncy seat, I went to look for the stump. All I found were two "grinning" mutts.

    Jillian's adorable! Miss you - hope to see you guys soon.
