Dog Psychology

People often ask us how the dog is taking to the baby. Well, they mostly ignore each other. These past few days, however, Jax has demonstrated some different behavior... how would you explain it?

Case 1: The Horses.
Tom went to a work event at Arlington Park, and brought Evelyn TWO little stuffed horse puppets. Even though Jax cannot count, he knows that isn't fair. So he has decided that he will find said horses and steal them from Evelyn's room.

Case 2: The Playmat.
Well, if the baby's asleep, somebody's got to use it, right?

So, is this a case of canine jealousy? Love for his little sister? Asserting his Alpha status? If only he could tell us.
