In this episode, I interview Jessie Leigh, a mom of a very anxious Boston Terrier and a toddler. We discuss her postpartum anxiety and how she coped with learning to navigate this huge transition while worried about the safety between her dog and infant. Much of her survival came from using a pen in her family room to ensure that her dog and baby could both be near her, but not in contact with one another.
