Knowing that the arrival of her first child would be a big adjustment for her beloved Chihuahua, Fred, and kitty cat Pasha, Kristen Overdurf-Abud created a CD with a variety of baby sounds and played them daily in her home. When baby Antonio arrived, Fred and Pasha were not upset by the strange new noises coming from their new little brother. Instead of rejecting the new arrival and misbehaving, they accepted Antonio into their territory and bonded with him.
Overdurf-Abud knew that pets react strongly to sounds and wondered how to provide a head start preparing for the big change ahead. With a background in the entertainment field she held a casting and created the CD a few years earlier, for her sister’s dogs, Walter and Henry, so they would be fully prepared. With their success, she exposed her pets to all types of sounds made by infants and toddlers, various types of crying, gurgling, cooing and even temper-tantrums. The last track is called Nursery for multiples in the home. This helped with their curiosity, anxiety and increased insistence for attention while adapting to a new family member.
When Overdurf-Abud’s expectant friends began asking for copies of the CD she found herself making more and more copies until she decided that there were probably many more families who could benefit from this recording. When she became pregnant herself, she knew it was time to launch the CD on the internet and suddenly, Baby Sounds For Pets was born.
