Awwww, I love her!!! She will grow out of eating shoes and being a pain. My dog was like the tazmanian devil and now you see what he's like!!! lol...I think you will be fine one you have your real baby so long as you show her enough attention too...It's funny because when I babysit my friends kid, my dog goes under the bed because he doesn't want to be bothered with kids picking at him....lol...lol
