Meet Bailey

The Husband and I had quite an eventful weekend, as in, we adopted a puppy! Our little family has grown to three. I know. We are probably crazy.
Meet Bailey, a 3.5 month old Boxer/Hound mix rescued from Tennessee and adopted in New York City.

Yesterday I headed across the street to PetSmart to try to learn something about raising a pup. "Puppies for Dummies" book quickly became a life saver, as well as a few calls home to get some advice from mom, dad and brother. Now, the crate is up, the toys are out and Bailey seems very happy. I love the sounds of her pitter patter on the floor and her licks to the face.

We've had a few little uh oh's around the apartment (there I go sounding like a momma), but she seems to be getting the hang of things and even slept in her crate without crying too much, though 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. came quite early when she needed to be let out.

So if any of yall have dogs, we do love friendly tips & suggestions, so please send them on.

And a very special Happy Birthday to my grandmother, B! Bailey can't wait to meet you and become the new favorite #1.

  3. I just found a puppy who looks EXACTLY like this. Same markings, colors, shape, even looks the same age! She showed up in my yard today, and I was searching google for what kind of dog she could be. I suspected this mix, and I'm pretty certain now! Do you have updated photos of Bailey? I'd love to see what she looks like grown!
