I've already decided to at least do this, as it'll be my first time leaving Aric with someone who isn't already a friend or family member. (It's so hard convincing myself to do it!) But we have two big dogs who are overly friendly yet still protective of the baby and I want to make sure that she gets along with not only Aric, but the dogs too. I don't want any phone calls that the sitter got bit while she was trying to do something with the baby. It's not in their nature to snap or be aggressive, but I've seen my Dane go nuts when he thought I was in danger.
