Our daughter has never hesitated to quickly and loudly let us know when she is even slightly unhappy. If he were hurting or upsetting her in any way... it would be clear.

A non-Linus related video (except that he's either wondering what the heck she's doing or trying to ensure she doesn't fall ha ha). Our daughter is OBSESSED with a commercial that features swimming hippos. When you see her stare blankly it's because they're showing cell phones, but when the hippos are on..... well dance time!

Our daughter gives Daddy a laugh after getting her teeth brushed.

For those worried Linus might hurt our daughter (even accidentally).... here he is playing with a balloon and not using his teeth. I'm just not sure how else you can illustrate he's gentle and in complete control even when he's excited.

He's still not as rough as when he plays with adults, but he's a little stronger with her now that she's able to handle it.

He gets so excited when his bed is fresh out of the laundry.

Sticks. Good times.

I can already anticipate there are going to be people who complain about him "growling". He's NOT growling. He's just very talkative when he plays. (He sounds much worse than this when we get him going.) He is not biting her and he's learned she's still a little wobbly on her feet so he must be careful not to knock her over.

Linus making his best friend laugh. He nibbles on her pant leg and is not biting. If he were hurting her she would certainly not be laughing.

Linus playing with his new best friend. He is notorious for nibbling on pant legs and shirt sleeves, but would never close his mouth on anyone - least of all our daughter. If he were hurting or upsetting her in any way she would not hesitate to clearly and loudly let us know. He is very gentle.

Parents of the Year stand back and laugh as our daughter gets her butt kicked playing tug-of-war with Linus. If you believe babies should be kept in a bubble, please don't watch this. Trust me, he's being very gentle (and you'll note she's smiling). When I play tug of war with him he nearly dislocates my shoulder.

Our sweet tolerant friend. Yawning and licking lips are signs your pet is uncomfortable and so we separated them. If you see your dog yawning/licking lips you should remove him/her from the situation.
