Jessy, David, And Benji
It all started where one might expect, when David and Jessy discovered that she was pregnant. They had wanted to become parents for a long time, so this was incredible news. But there was one question on what to do with their dog, Benji. They hoped that she would response positively when the baby arrived, although Jessy had heard stories about dogs that wouldn’t accept a new baby in the house. While they hoped that wouldn’t be the case with Benji, they didn’t want to have to give her away if worst came to worst. One day, Benji began barking at Jessy’s stomach, recognizing that she was pregnant. And that scared Jessy.
What’s The Dog Doing?
They just couldn’t understand what was suddenly causing Benji’s new behavior. They were worried that she might have sensed something wrong with the baby. Or that she otherwise felt threatened by its presence. Jessy felt as though they needed to figure out what was going on before things got out of hands. So, she took Benji to the vet. She was worried for both her dog and her baby, hoping she wuoldn’t need to make any hard choices.
A Tough Decision
Of course, if they had to choose between their baby or their dog, they’d be forced to send Benji to the shelter. But they didn’t want it to have to come to that. And it certainly wouldn’t be an easy decision to make. The vet wasn’t of much help. Beji seemed to be perfectly fine. Although, they said that Benji might sense that something was up with the baby, and that she should perhaps get herself checked out.
Seeing The Doctor
The doctor told Jessy to come in as soon as she called. So, Jessy called her friend, Anne. She had always been there for her, so taking her to the doctor’s office was a simple task. The receptionist let them right in and the doctor gave Jessy an ultrasound. They did a few other tests as well, but the results came out just fine. Nothing was wrong with the child, but that just made Jessy more curious about what was making Benji act up.
A Helpful Babysitter
Jessy seemed to completely break down after this. It really seemed as though she was going to be forced to choose when the baby arrived. But Anne was there to give her a shoulder to cry on. And she offered to help with the baby if necessary. She would be there and would be fully willing to babysit her child.
Welcome, Lily
Jessy was comforted to know she had a friend like Anne that would be willing to help her out. A few weeks after this, Jessy and David’s child was born, a baby girl named Lily. Although Benji still seemed to be acting strangely, it was a little different from before. The first few weeks after Lily was born, Jessy and David stayed at home in order to take care of her. Benji seemed to calm down during this time and the parents decided to go back to work. But while babysitting Lily, Anne called them with startling news.
Staying By Her Side
As it turns out, while Anne was watching Lily, Benji refused to let her sleep alone. Jessy was confused and told David, but he didn’t find this particularly noteworthy. He said Benji was just looking out for Lily and thought it was cute. But one day, Anne called again, in complete distress. She had separated Lily and Benji, and when she came back down, Benji had attacked Anne. David knew he would have to punish Benji to prevent something like this from happening again.
What’s Off?
David decided to take Benji to the vet again, but he didn’t get reassuring news. They said that they either needed to take Benji to a shelter or determine what was causing her to act out immediately. David didn’t want to get rid of Benji, not yet at least, and he felt as though something was off. The vet implied that he and his wife might have been the problem. After all, why was Benji so concerned about letting Lily sleep alone? Although David was confident they weren’t the issue, but doubt started to build his anxiety.
Watching Them Together
They decided they wanted to see how Lily and Benji interacted. But Lily seemed to love Benji. And Benji loved her in return. They were so close, it seemed strange to believe that Benji would be acting out because of her. But every time Lily fell asleep, Benji was always quick to get by her side. David didn’t think it was too crazy, but he was confused. And then one day, Anne called again, alarmed. She said that Benji had bitten her. And then David realized something.
