Mount Pleasant Magazine May/June 2019

64 www.MountPleasantMagazine.com | www.BestOfMP.com | www.ReadMPM.com feature BABY CALLAN AND DOG, HARLEY Christie Kerrigan certainly is a dog lover and has always considered them her babies. “Before baby, our dogs were our babies. They were doted on and spoiled rotten. They were able to choose when to eat, as they are all three ‘grazers’ with food and drink. They have their own doggie door. They would get tons of snuggles and kisses and could sleep wherever they wanted. Now, the laundry room door stays closed most hours of the day, and that’s where we have to keep the dog food and water — away from Callan.” Christie also revealed that her husky, Harley, sensed she was in labor. And, for about the first month after Callan was born, Harley kept her distance, only occasionally sniffing him or attempting a little kiss. Things are on the upswing now, and the two are best pals. Harley tolerates him always laying on her and playing next to her. “She gives him kisses, and she is very stingy with those kisses. I feel like he has made her sweeter,” said Christie. ALIETTE, BABY LOGAN AND DOG, LUKE Laura Steele is the proud mother of three children — her pit bull, Luke, her 2-year- old girl, Aliette and new baby Logan. She explained the sibling-like relationship her dog has with her daughter, “Our pit was just short of a year old when we had our daughter, and he wouldn’t leave her side. They now pretty much act as siblings, fighting over being the center of attention and where they get to sit on the couch. When it’s nap and bedtime, she can’t go down without him, and he will cry until he gets to be next to her. … It’s an amazing bond they have.” Crickentree Plaza • 1055 Johnnie Dodds Blvd Mount Pleasant, SC 29464 • ph 843.388.5167 mtpleasant@woofgangbakery.com @wgbmtpleasant www.woofgangbakery.com Spring has Sprung!
