Many people are concerned about the four-legged family members when it comes time to bring the new baby home. Our pets can be anxious about this new noise-generating, odd-smelling, attention-monopolizing being in the house. Does the animal wonder 1) "When is this thing going to leave?" 2) "How can I make this go away?" 3) "Oh! something else to love!" Perhaps these and other questions you have regarding your pets and the new baby will come to light at our presentation about introducing children to a home with pets. PRESENTERS: Mary Anne Smith DVM: My years in practice afforded me 5+ years as an associate veterinarian, 5+ years at an emergency hospital practitioner and relief practice, and 20 years as a practice partner/owner. My favorite things are the outdoors, birds, livestock, and wildlife. I love my family and friends and surgery and medicine!Karen Nielsen : I am a veterinary assistant and have lived in Littleton for 30 years. I have two grown children and three grandchildren. I love my family and the outdoors. I volunteered at Birds of Prey Rehabilitation Foundation and have done some Canine Search and Rescue training. I love my companion animals and horses. I do pet sitting and I enjoy working with and training family dogs. "Teagan" Nielsen: I am a 3 year old Golden Retriever although my human "mom" calls me a Golden Receiver. This is because I will only fetch when I receive attention and prefer the attention to the fetch part of the equation. I have been told I am unusual because I don't care for treats but I am well-trained anyway. I love my "mom" and my family and my chew toys and bones.Date: August 21st Time: 1pm Cost: FREE Click here to register for Babies & Pets Class __________________________________________________________________________________ Home | Pregnancy Classes | Prenatal Yoga Denver | Childbirth Classes Denver | HypnoBirthing Classes Denver | Bradley Method Classes Denver | Breastfeeding Classes Denver | Parenting Classes Denver | Infant CPR Class Denver | Postpartum Classes Denver | Mommy and Baby Classes | Support Groups Denver | Breastfeeding Support Denver | Lactation Support Denver | Chiropractic Denver | Postpartum Denver | Breast Pumps Denver | Breastfeeding Denver | Nursing Bras Denver | Maternity Clothing Denver | Nursing Clothing Denver | Cloth Diapering Denver | Cloth Diapers Denver | Swaddle Blankets Denver | Nursing Pillows Denver | Baby Carriers Denver | Baby Lotions Denver | Baby Books Denver Baby Products Denver | Baby Talk Denver | Privacy Policy | Site Map | Contact Us |
