Bailey

Whoever said that dog was man's best friend, must have met Bailey. She is the sweetest dog. Everytime I come home, she will not let me walk 2 feet unless I pet her. Even after giving her a quick rub down, she starts making a noise letting you know that she wants you to keep petting her. When you are trying to have a conversation with someone, she will lean against you with all her body weight and make a noise that is hard to ignore. Even with all her faults (like leaving us "presents" on the path way between the car port and our house) she always shows how much she loves you. During the day, no one is around, so she lies on the steep driveway. I think this has contributed to her arthritis on one side. She is always excited to go on a walk, but she walks not very quickly and sideways. Whenever I start getting angry with her for going slowly, she looks up at me with those loving eyes. It is hard to resist loving her. She is also a very good watch dog. There has been nights where I hear her barking and chasing away the raccoons that invade our property. If only she didn't smell so much like a dog.............
