Meet Bailey

Meet our new puppy Bailey!



We adopted Bailey from Pup Squad http://www.pupsquad.org/

She is a 9 week old Beagle Mix. Her Mom was dropped off at the shelter when she was pregnant and so the puppies were born in foster care. Pup Squad specializes in pregnant dogs and puppies and fosters them in individual homes so that they don't become sick, since the puppies are too young to be immune to the diseases they can contract in shelters. We found Bailey on their website and fell in love with her precious little face. She and her 3 sisters were all being fostered together. They were named after the Golden Girls (see pictures of her sisters below) and Bailey was originally named "Blanche" but we decided to change her name when we brought her home.
After we adopted her we took her to Petsmart for the first time because we had to get a few supplies. Kaitlyn picked out a sweater for her, but she pronounces it "sweather" (like it rhymes with weather) it's hysterical. Bailey took a bath in when we got home and got all dressed up in her sweater.

We are enjoying spending time with Bailey and getting to know her. She is quite fond of our Christmas tree and so we are frequently having to pull her out from underneath it. I don't know what she will do when there are actually presents underneath!
