15 Years of Joy



It's Bailey's 15th birthday!

This little fella has given me companionship, unconditional love, gut-busting laughter and many lessons about patience and care-giving.

He was so trainable that he was house-broken in 3 days.

We used to call him a government employee as he shred everything in sight for a few months.

He has given us a few worries in that he has had two ACL surgeries on his back knees (flag canine football, going out for a pass) and one operation for kidney stones but he has all his teeth.

Although is official name is Sir Bailey Brute, he has many nicknames including Buster Brown, Scooter (never mind WHY), Bruster and Henry (I made up that last one).

I know people say, "he is just a dog....blah, blah.."

But remember, D O G spelled backwards is __ ___ ___.


Maybe too much kibbles and bones in anticipation of a big celebration?
