I DON'T FEEL GOOOOOD!!!

2010-08-01T14:41:00.000-07:00

Well here we are at Grandma's for the 3rd time this summer. I love coming to Grandma's there are so many fun and interesting things to do and are going on here. Mom said this trip was to get away from our house so she could write her grad school paper. She says when she tried to work on it at home all of the things she had to do (laundry, dishes, cleaning, organizing, and getting ready for a new school year) were screaming at her to do instead of her paper. So Friday we left and drove to Grandma's. On Saturday, while mom worked on her paper, 6 guys showed up to replace Grandma's roof. It was very loud and strange...but I helped supervise the work and so far so good...Although I know nothing about roofs. Today is Sunday and mom is continuing to work on her paper. 3 of those guys came back to finish the roof and I supervised again. After the left and Grandma got home from church I started not feeling so good. I threw up 3 times! Grandma and mom made me some chicken and rice and I took a nap with Grandma. After our nap mom feed me some of the chicken and rice and it tasted really good. So far it has stayed down lets hope it stays that way! Here is a picture of me healthy and well in Ocean City...I don't think you want a picture of me right now with me not feeling good.

What Kind of Week has it Been for You?

2010-06-17T16:41:00.000-07:00

Some days you're the dog and some days you're the hydrant! Which has it been for you today?

Here I am at the doggie park near Grandma's house. It's weird in the middle of the park is this red hydrant. Well it is offical...summer has started. Mom says she is going to have 2 months off to play with me and love me...I CAN"T WAIT!!!!

Look for Updates

2010-05-27T10:48:00.000-07:00

Aren't I cute sitting on Grandma's recliner?

Okay...here's the deal! Mom and I have talked and we have decided that we are going to put random thoughts on my blog. When I have time I am still going to update with short stories of my adventures with mom, grandma, and friends but we are going to put a weekly doggie thought and picture up. Mom will take pictures of me randomly and we will come up with a statement or thought that goes with it...Sound fun Right????? So keep a look out for updates.

ROUND 2

2010-02-11T11:49:00.000-08:00

It has been two days since my last blog and guess what ... we got MORE snow!!!! Tuesday night it started snowing and didn't stop until yesterday evening. The path mom dug for me got all filled back up with snow...THIS IS NOT FUN! We are suppose to go to grandma's house this weekend...I hope she has some grass and less snow. Mom says she either has more or about the same amount...UNCLE!!!!

However, this morning mom shoveled again. On Tuesday I tried to jump on top of the snow and I fell right in and I couldn't get out...so I just barked and barked. Mom formed a search and rescue party, which ment she had to put on her shoes, and she came to rescue me. From then on I didn't want to go out any more. But today our neighbor's BJ and Lady we out in their yard and I wanted to go out so here is some pictures and video of what happened today! Oh by the way we are still looking for the back yard...the Holly bush is now missing too...I think we should report it to the police...If any one sees our yard PLEASE let us know!

If you listen really close you can hear BJ and Lady barking.

I don't know about you but I have had enough snow...

LONG TIME...NO BLOG

2010-02-09T04:45:00.000-08:00

It has been about 4 months since my last blog and I just have to say it is not my fault. Mom has been busy working, not only is she teaching every day from 7:15 to 2:45 but she is working for 2 different after school programs that run from 2:45 to 5:00. Add too that...she is back in grad school to get her second masters, so needless to say time for me on the computer has been limited. A lot has happened in the past 4 months, first mom no longer puts me in the kennel when she goes to work...I had figured out how to unlock both locks and when she got home I was out anyway, so GOOD-BYE KENNEL!!!! Second, the reason I can blog today is because on Friday it started snowing and when we got up Saturday there was A LOT of snow on the ground. By the time it stopped later Saturday we had between 2 and 3 feet of snow. Mom shoveled a path in the back yard for me because I don't like to go potty unless there is grass. Mom put on my coat and I went out to see where our yard went. I am still looking for it, if any of you see it please let me know...I think someone took it.
On Sunday I helped mom shovel the front steps. I really don't like the snow it makes life really difficult. The one thing I do like is that mom came home early Friday and she has been home ever since (with the exception of when she went out for lunch yesterday [Monday]).

This is our steps looking out the frond door Saturday morning.

Here I am trying to figure out what happened to our neighborhood...IT GONE!!!!

This is our back yard before mom shoveled on Saturday...it was still snowing!

This was after mom shoveled a path for me to some grass (it was more like mud)...I DON'T LIKE SNOW!!!

LET ME IN! LET ME IN! LET ME IN!

Here are 2 videos mom took. ENJOY!!

SNOW IS FOR THE BIRDS!!!!

"This is the way we shovel snow, shovel snow, shovel snow. This is the way we shovel snow so we can see our neighbors."

FYI my birthday is coming up...February 28th, I WILL BE TWWWOOOO!

My Birthday Wish is...

TO HAVE WEATHER LIKE THIS!!!!!

Grandma can we go back to the beach! PPPLLLLEEEAAASSEE!!

A REAL VACATION

2009-10-07T16:29:00.000-07:00

Over the weekend we (mom, grandma, and me) went on a real vacation. We didn’t just go to Grandma’s house and do stuff there. We went on a real vacation to Ocean City, Maryland. I had never been there but both mom and grandma had been there lots and lots. Mom and Grandma said we were going to the beach but I had no idea what a beach was. Mom said it was like the park but better.

We got up on Friday morning and got in the car. I still am not a big fan of the car but lately we have been going to really neat places. I got to sit on grandma’s lap and look out the window. It was really fun until we got to the Bay Bridge. I didn’t like it at all the bridge has these big steel things that went over the top of the car they scared me but mom and grandma said it was going to be okay and soon we were off the bridge and on our way. We stopped once to get gas and go to the bathroom. We also stopped at the cute little white house I thought we were going to stay there but mom said no that this is where they stayed when she was a girl. Then grandma said that it was too early to go to the hotel so she thought we should go to the boardwalk.

Do you know what a boardwalk is? I didn’t but I do now. It is even funnier than the doggie park if you can imagine. I LOVE THE BOARDWALK!!!! There are lots of different smells, people, and dog there. If you are lucky you can find a French Fry, a wadde of gum, or part of an ice cream cone that some one dropped. We would walk around and then sit on a bench and people we didn’t even know would walk up and tell me how cute, adorable, or beautiful I am. Those people are pretty smart! There were all kinds of dogs big ones, little ones, cute ones, and ugly ones. I also learned this weekend that not all humans like dogs and not all dogs like dogs.

We stay at a hotel called “The Barefoot Mailman”. It was a lot different from our house and grandma’s house. It was a big room with 2 beds in it. It had a TV, DVD & VCR, Microwave, and Refrigerator. There was a bathroom too. It was a lot of fun there I could get on mom’s bed and jump over to grandma’s bed without even touching the floor.

There was a pool where all the dogs and their humans hung out in the afternoon. The dogs were not allowed in the pool but we ran around the edge and made our humans nervous. Mom said she didn’t want to have to jump in to save me.

On Sunday we went to the beach. I agree with Uncle Dan...I like it all except when it flushes (that's what he said when he was little). After the beach Sunday morning we went back to the hotel and watch the Redskins game. Mom says they haven't been doing to well this season.
It is exhausting rooting for the Redskins.

I don't think I can do this anymore.

So we put on our redskin stuff and cheered them on and who knew they won.

It was a great time and mom and grandma are thinking we should do this every year. We will have to wait and see. I suggest that everyone go to Ocean City, Maryland...It was the best vacation even better than going to grandma's. Be on the look out for new blog posts with pictures from the boardwalk and beach.

SUMMER BLUES

2009-08-16T14:10:00.000-07:00

Well, it is that time of year again. I have the summer blues. We get home from vacation and mom is headed back to work. I really hate work. It means that mom is gone all day.

Mom and I went to grandma's for summer vacation. We did lots of fun stuff while I was there. I got to play with Kato and Titus. The first day we were there mom and grandma went out and left me in the big bathroom. I got so upset that I tore the linen closet door off the hinges and chewed some of the laminate off. Grandma was not happy about that so she bought a small kennel like the one I have at home but much smaller. Every time I try to stand on my back legs I hit my head on the top. One day I even figured out how to open the door from the inside and I meet mom and grandma at the door when they came home. Mom and grandma did a lot of things that I couldn't do because "NO DOGGIES ALLOWED!" They went to the Crayola Factory in Easton, PA and since I couldn't go they took Tucker and Kylie grandma's neighbors and my friend Titus' humans.

This is Tucker and Kylie with the World's Biggest Crayon!

Here is mom coloring with Tucker and Kylie...boy don't those crayon look yummy!

This is Tucker and Kylie with Mr. Crayon.

We went to a lake...I had never been to a lake. It kind of looks like a really big bathtub. It was very exciting where we were...We could see all the people bringing their bath toys (boats) and putting them in and out of the water. Mom and grandma had a picnic lunch and I got to smell all kinds of new things.

That thing on the back of that truck is one of those boats...but I think they look like bath toys.

It is very interesting to watch all the comings and goings!

While we were there mom took me down to the water. I LOVE THE WATER!!! I walked all the way in to my neck. Then mom and I got on this floaty thing. It is where the people were bringing their "boats"

It had very interesting smells too. While we were walking around on the float I looked in the water and mom and grandma were talking about swimming and the next thing I knew I was in the water. I swam all the way to shore.

I like getting wet and it was fun to roll in the grass and dirt to get dry.

While we were at grandma's my friend, Titus, gave me some new toys. Here is picture of them before mom gave them to me. Don't they look nice?

Now here is a video of what I did to the black and white dog on the left.

Best of all I love going to grandma's because she has birds and I like to chase and bark at them. But most of all I love being anywhere my mom is!

LET'S GO TO THE MOVIES!!!

2009-07-13T13:46:00.001-07:00

Since mom is only working 4 days a week during summer school and it is only half days we get to watch a lot of movies. I like to watch TV. My favorite show is "The Dog Whisperer". I get very concerned when the "bad" dog bark and act inappropriately but I listen to Cesar (the dog whisperer). When he says to sit I sit. He is very good with dogs.
People say that dogs can't see or watch TV. Something about our eyes aren't made for it. Below you will see that that is not true. Here I am watching one of my favorite movies "Underdog".

If you haven't seen "Underdog" yet you really should it is a great movie...that Beagle is a very good actor! See you at the MOVIES!!

VACATION

2009-07-07T04:22:00.000-07:00

Well, it has been a busy few weeks for me. Mom says I had a vacation but parts of it were kind of stressful. First, Grandma went to California to see Uncle Dan and Aunt Juju, I think I wrote about that in my last blog. So Grandma came back and boy was I excited to see her. Then a couple of days later Grandma put me in her car and we left mom at home I guess. They said something about Uncle Dave and Aunt Rebecca house but I never saw them. Here is a picture of me watching grandma getting ready to take me to her house.

I spent a lot of days at Grandma's. We went for walks and we visited Grandma's friends Pat and Steve. I got in trouble at Pat and Steve's when we left I didn't want to get in the car so I shrugged out of my car harness and ran down the street. Grandma was not happy with me but she forgave me and all was right in my world again. There were lots of things to do at Grandma's. Grandma has a bunny rabbit in her yard that I got to chase and she also has a lot of big birds but I did my best to get rid of them for her. I got to watch the community yard sale. Lots of people came and bought things. I made sure that Grandma was safe and every once in a while I would check to see if mom showed up. About two weeks later we got in the car again (again I shrugged out of my harness and ran through Grandma's neighborhood) and we drove a long time and grandma stopped at our house where I live with mom. Grandma opened the door and I was scared to go in but when I got there there was mom and I ran to her and kissed her bunches and bunches. I missed her a lot. The next day mom and Grandma took me to see Dr. Smith for my yearly check-up. I now weight 18.5 pounds and I am all healthy. I got my shots and it was very exciting to be at the vets because I spent the whole day and there were other dogs and new people to see. I was so tired that I pretty much slept for two days. Then yesterday, Monday, mom went back to work. She is teaching summer-school so she is not gone as long as she usually is when she goes to work. I will blog again later about my summer. Mom says that both of us are going to go to Grandma's in a couple of weeks. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

GOTCHA!!!!

2009-06-10T15:51:00.000-07:00

HAPPY GOTCHA DAY!!!!
For those of you who don't know what a gotcha day is. It is the day you got got. In other words, I have a birthday, February 28th, 2008, and I have a gotcha day, June 10th, 2008. Last year on June 10th is when my mom came to Lynch"s Little Puppies and picked me up and she got me. Therefore, today is my GOTCHA DAY!!!! It was pretty uneventful. Mom is still working she says she doesn't get done until the 19th this year. So I got to stay home in my kennel and watch Sesame Street. I am trying to learn my letters so I can read but so far I have learned to bark in 3 different languages. Mom came home and she had been to see my vet, Dr. Smith. Mom needed to renew my health insurance and get my heart worm and flea and tick medicine. YUCK! She also pick up two surprise toys (I had no idea she was going to do that) but then again I didn't know that today was my GOTCHA DAY!

Check out these pictures of when mom first GOT ME (GOTCHA) and then look at me NOW!!!

This is me on June 10th, 2008 at Grandma's house. BOY was I little!

Here I am a few day later at our house. I still look tiny!!!

NOW here I am June 10th, 2009 a whole year later. Look at what a BIG girl I am!

I don't have that baby harness...I have a big girl collar now.

This is me sitting on the spare bed in the computer room. It is where Grandma sleeps when she comes to visit. However, she is in California visiting Uncle Dan, Aunt JuJu, Cousins: Gizmo, Katie, Sweet Pea, and Mac. So I have been coming in the computer room and rolling on the bed and crying. Mom call Grandma and I got to talk to her on the phone and she said she would be home soon. But I miss her a lot!

SPRING BREAK/EASTER

2009-04-26T13:23:00.000-07:00

Well, first off I have not learned any new tricks I am still having trouble with the rolling over thing. It's not as easy as it looks!

Second, mom and I went on SPRING BREAK. We drove to grandma's house and stayed there for 10 days. It was lots of fun. I got to play outside and go on lots of walks with mom and grandma. It is so much fun at Grandma's house because she has a big glass door and outside that door there are pigeons (grandma calls them Morning Doves but mom and I call them pigeons). I protect grandma's yard by standing at the door and telling (barking at) those things to get out of our yard. I wonder what Grandma does when I'm not there.

While we were there Grandma had a friend Bonnie staying with her. Bonnie is moving to Florida and she needed a place to stay while she got her things in order. Bonnie was not sure about me. She said I was rambunctious. Bonnie, grandma, and mom kept telling me to get down but I was just trying to show Bonnie what a fun girl I am. Eventually I learned that Bonnie was okay but she didn't want me to get up on her or jump in her face. Which are two things I do very well.

Third, while I was at Grandma's one of mom's friends came over, Rachel. She brought Merlin her 13" beagle who is a few months younger than me.

Here is Merlin saying hello to my grandma.

We had belated birthday gathering for the two of us. It was a lot of fun because we ran and ran around grandma's house and played with each other.

TAG Merlin's It!

Then we got thirsty so I shared my water bowl and we drank at the same time.

Then we played more Tag!

TAG Bailey's It!

After they left I was exhausted.

Finally, on Easter Sunday there was a basket with my name on it, BAILEY. It had lots of stuff in it. There were doggie lollipops, a pink dragon, a bobble ball, and a purple bottle that mom can put treats in (that's my favorite). After looking at all my Easter Gifts I was exhausted again.

There was a lot that happened over those ten days. I got to run and play, mom was around almost everyday, I made new friends, and I got to play with old ones like Kato who lives next door to grandma. Over all it was a great time.

To Be Stubborn or Not To Be Stubborn THAT is the Question

2009-03-22T16:17:00.000-07:00

Mom says that I am stubborn...I say I am strong willed and fun loving! Take a look at the following videos and let me know what you think.

I don't think I am stubborn. I think mom is expecting too much from a young pup like me.

If you look really close I will lay down and roll over without even being told. WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

I THINK I'VE GOT IT!

LOOK WHAT I CAN DO!!!

2009-03-09T14:03:00.000-07:00

SNOW DAY!!!

2009-03-02T07:36:00.000-08:00

This morning the alarm clock went off and mom turned on the TV. A few minutes later she took me outside and there was SNOW all over the ground. Then mom didn't even get ready for work she just went back to bed. She said we were having a SNOW DAY!!!! I like snow it is fun to run in, however, it is cold and I can't find anywhere to poop or pee outside. I also can't smell all the places I have marked to keep the other neighborhood animals out of our yard. It is nice to have mom home. We have been hanging out watching TV, taking a nap, mom has been drinking hot tea and reading. I really need to learn to do that everyone seem to do it a lot. Over the weekend I tried to read but I ended up eat chapters 1 thru 19 of a book mom hasn't read yet...she was a little upset. But she forgave me. Well, gotta go...the snow is calling my name... BAAIILLYY!!!

Today is your Birthday!!!

2009-02-28T13:24:00.000-08:00

Well, ta da, TODAY FEBRUARY 28TH I HAD MY FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!!! When we got up this morning mom sang a song to me something about Happy Birthday. Then we called grandma and she sang me the same song. Apparently birthdays are a big deal...almost as big as Christmas it seems. The thing I like about this Birthday thing is that I got presents. Mom got me a pink pig that is like my flat un-stuffed squirrel. It has 5 squeakers in it...so far I have only gotten 2 of them out but I am working on the others. Grandma got me 3 chew toys which I am having a hard time destroying but I haven't given up yet. Mom's friend Donna and her 3 cats got me an un-stuffed raccoon which I have accomplish to remove both of its squeakers. Yesterday my food got switched completely to grown up food (it was half puppy food and half grown-up food for about the past 2 weeks). So I am growing-up! Also Mom got rid of my harness and now I have a collar. Now I even look grown up.

Other news...I HAVE LEARNED HOW TO SIT!!! This apparently makes everyone happy and they give me treats and cookies. So now all they need to do is ask if I want a cookie and I just go ahead and sit down. Mom is trying to teach me to lay down but I haven't quite got the hang of that yet.

So anyway, Happy Birthday to ME! I am no longer a baby...I'm a big girl NOW!

Flat Squirrel

2009-01-27T11:16:00.000-08:00

One of my many Christmas presents was a flat un-stuffed squirrel. I love this squirrel. Grandma got it for me. It is about a foot and a half long and it had a squeaker in its head and tail before I surgically removed them. Here are some pictures of Grandma laying on the couch and me playing with my squirrel with her...

Here we are on the couch.

There is my squirrel. Doesn't grandma look like she is having a great time! I thought so!

Christmas...Interesting

2009-01-27T11:06:00.000-08:00

Christmas was very interesting. First off there was a tree in grandma's house. It was not a normal tree it was very shiny and sparkly and when ever I went over to it to take a closer look mom or grandma would say, "NO BAILEY!" So I would leave it alone. I did find one of the shiny balls on the floor and boy were they quick to take it away from me. Like I said before Uncle Dave and Aunt Rebecca were suppose to come but they got sick, so it was just grandma, mom, and me. Grandma said she couldn't get the presents under the tree (why would you put presents under a tree?), so they decided to put them on top of my big kennel. This was very interesting. Then when we got up Christmas morning Santa had locked our stockings in my kennel. Check it out...

I am not sure I understand it but boy I like it!

More of that Furry Red Guy

2009-01-27T10:14:00.000-08:00

Over Christmas mom got more of those furry red things. She got a Hokie-Pokie Elmo from her friend Donna, grandma found an Elmo in a Christmas stocking that sings Jingle-Bells, and Uncle Dan and Aunt JuJu got her a metal tray wtih Elmo on it. I like the tray the best. Below are some videos of the other new ones mom got. Boy that red thing is scary!

Disappointment

2008-12-30T06:16:00.000-08:00

It has almost been a week since Christmas and I have many new experiences to write about. First, I need to tell you about Thanksgiving. It was very interesting since mom and I drove to grandma's and I was super-duper excited to see her again. Then on Thursday Uncle Dave and Aunt Rebecca came and they brought my 3 cousins, Callie, Latte, and Al. They are very different from me and I really wanted to play with them but they just hissed and swatted at me. Mom says that cats don't play like puppies but I tried anyway. Mom got sick over Thanksgiving so grandma took care of me while mom slept a lot. Fast forward a month later and again mom and I went to grandma's. This time it was very weird there was a tree in the living room and there were shiny balls and sparkly things all over it. I tried to smell it but these green pointy things on it pricked my nose, so I basically left it alone. One Tuesday Uncle Dave called and said that he very very sick and that Aunt Rebecca, Callie, Latte, and Al and himself were not going to come for Christmas. :O( So it was just grandma, mom and I Christmas morning. There is lots to tell you about Christmas day and pictures to share and I will do that later. But I want to get to this title of this blog...Disappointment...Santa was very good to me...he brought me lots of toys and treat but I was disappointed that I haven't seen snow yet. So for those of you who voted in my poll of what did you think I was going to get for Christmas you were all wrong. Only toys and treats for me. I will blog again soon and tell you how my first Christmas was with pictures...boy that Santa is an amazing dude!

CHRISTMAS????

2008-11-22T11:52:00.000-08:00

Mom says that I need to write a letter to Santa for Christmas.
So first...what's Christmas? AND why do I need to write a letter? AND what's a letter?

Mom says that Christmas is a holiday (what's that) where we exchange presents (I know what those are!). We also celebrate the birthday of some guy...but I don't get that either.

Mom says that grandma, Uncle David, Aunt Rebecca, Uncle Dan, and Aunt JuJu will use my letter to get things that I want or need. Mom also says she will forward my letter to Santa (who is he again?).

So here it is...

Dear Santa,
My name is Bailey and I have never written a letter before so I hope I do this okay. My mom says I need to tell you what a good puppy I have been this year. So I have been very good with the exception of pooping and peeing in the house, running away from grandma after a bath, bothering mom while she types on the computer, wanting to play with everyone who comes to our house, getting on the end tables and coffee table, and I am sure there are others but over all I have been very good. Mom even says that I am a very good girl when I go potty outside!
There are lots of things on my list, Santa. Mom says don't get me plush toys that I destroy them BUT boy I love them. I need new Nylabones like the Double Action Dental Chews or the "Wolf" for powerful chewers. I also need a new Kong. My puppy Kong is going to be thrown away soon according to mom. I really want a Redskin Pet Jersey a small one should do. That way mom and I can watch the games and support the Redskins. Any toy that is Vinyl or Latex is good. I love tug-of-war ropes. Mom says to ask for snow but I don't know what snow is...so bring some snow for mom please.
I am not sure who you are Santa but mom says that if I believe in you and if I am a good puppy that you will bring me toys and treats...so bring it on Santa!
Love, Bailey

So how do you think I did? We will have to wait and see mom says. I let you know how it comes out. Wish me well!

That Red Furry Thing

2008-11-12T16:13:00.000-08:00

In mom's computer room there are a lot of these red furry things. The bed that grandma sleeps in when she comes to visit has them on it and there are 3 shelves with lots of them on it. While working on other blogs I found this video footage that mom took after I had my whoo-whoo surgery. I really don't like that red thingie at all!

You Make Me Want To SHOUT!!!!

Jingle WHAT???

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL

2008-11-11T13:20:00.001-08:00

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!

Mom took this picture during a tense moment during a Redskin football game. Every Sunday we sit on the couch and watch the Redskins play the game (Except when she goes to the game and leaves me at home because "NO DOGS AT FEDEX FIELD!!!". It's fun to watch the game there is whistles and yelling and according to mom the skins are doing pretty good this year considering. I just listen to her and watch the game on TV. Some day it will all make sense. I wish I had a redskin jersey like mom though...maybe that Santa guy will bring me one!

ELECTION DAY

2008-11-11T13:11:00.000-08:00

A few days ago mom got to stay home from work. She left for a couple hours though...she said she had to go vote. When she got home she had a sticker on her shirt. She put it on my head. She thought it was funny but I don't like sticky things on my head.

Do you find this funny?

OKAY I have had enough!

HALLOWEEN

2008-11-11T13:02:00.000-08:00

For Halloween (What ever that is?) I got to dress up as a princess. I had a pick tu-tu and a pink princess hat.

However, I didn't like the hat so mom had to rethink my costume.

See I am missing my hat...I shook it off.

So then I got a pink dress with a necklace.

Mom says that I am still a princess but I just think I look cute! We didn't go trick-or-treating...mom says that I am too young...maybe next year!

It's Been Awhile

2008-11-06T15:19:00.000-08:00

Well, folks it has been awhile since I last wrote anything and that is because mom went back to work at the end of August and I am not allowed on the computer while she is at work. She usually comes home and works more from her computer and I have had no time to blog. However, a lot has happened lately. Football season started and mom is teaching me a lot about the game and the Redskins. When we watch the game I get concerned about mom because when #47, Chris Cooley, does something good she yells "COOOOOOLEEEEEY!" she does the same thing for Fred Smoot too. It is very weird and it sounds like she is howling so I get concerned and jump up in her face to make sure she is okay. Soon I will write about Halloween and how mom dressed me up as a princess and Election Day. Mom says its going to get busy soon and we are going to go to Grandma's for Thanksgiving. What's a Thanksgiving? I guess I'll find out. I'll try to post some pictures soon.

Hide and Seek

2008-08-11T16:22:00.000-07:00

While we were at grandma's mom and I played hide and seek. See mom hides and I try to find here, however, it is very difficult because I can not reach the thing that opens the door. One day mom went into the big bathroom at grandma's (I think she was taking a bath or shower one of my favorite things) but she shut the door. Grandma took pictures of me trying to get in ... it is very difficult.

A LOT HAS HAPPENED

2008-08-11T08:04:00.000-07:00

A lot has happened since my last post. On July 21st, Mom and I got in the car and went to Hagerstown. Mom had a dentist appointment. When we got there grandma was there and she stayed with me while mom got her teeth cleaned. Everyone from the office came out and said how cute I was...they are really smart people. Then we left there and we went to grandma's house. I really like grandma's house she has wood floors and I slide around on them. Mom and Grandma would sometimes go out for a while and leave me in my big cage. Mom took a picture of before and after...I don't see the problem.

BEFORE...

AFTER...

Mom and grandma left for 4 days and left me with Anita, a neighbor of grandma's. She is very nice and has a very large dog named Kato. I love him but he thinks I am WILD! While Anita was taking care of me mom and grandma were in Canton, Ohio at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

We were at grandma's for 2 weeks. When they got back from the Hall of Fame we left grandma's and went back to our house on Monday. The next day we went to the vet...it was a very strange day. Everything was great. Then I went to sleep and when I woke up I had this plastic collar on and my tummy hurt a lot. Mom says I have to wear this collar for two weeks but boy my tummy itches.

I LOVE WATER!

Here is a funny story, everyone thinks it funny but mom. First, I am only allowed in the kitchen, dining room, living room and hallway in our house. Second, I am allowed in the bathroom, computer room, and mom's room if mom or someone else is in those rooms. Mom usually has the door shut to these rooms because I redecorate them by either moving the throw rugs or pillows or I leave little bathroom presents on the floor for mom to clean up.
Anyway...One morning I was playing in the dining room and mom decided to take a bath so she left the bathroom door open so she could watch me. First, I went into the bathroom and put my front paws on the edge of the tub and I got to lick the water off moms wet arm. Then I went back into the dining room to chew on my rope. But as I sat there I thought it looks like mom is having a lot of fun in there so I stood up and took a running start and jumped into the tub with mom harness and all. The water was too deep and I came up choking on the water but mom quickly picked me up and let some of the water out so I could stand in the water. Then mom got out of the tub and left me there. All of a sudden all the water disappeared.
I also like ice cube but the funny thing is I get an ice cube and I play with it and hide it under a blanket or something and then I go back to play with it and it is gone...I haven't figured that one out yet.

Father's Day

2008-07-15T16:19:00.000-07:00

Before Father's Day we went back to the vets and found out that I am allergic to grass and I had a bad ear infection. So mom had to pin me down to put medicine in my ears...I didn't like it so I made it as hard as I could thinking mom would give up but she didn't!
Father's Day was a sad day but we had fun. Mom was sad because she was thinking of her dad. But I got to meet Uncle Dave and we went in the car to this very large building. It was decorated in purple, orange, and green. It had the big words on it FedEx Field. There was also the colors of Burgundy and gold...there is a lot of that color at our house too. We walked all the way around that building mom cried some but I found lots of neat things like cigarette butts, broken glass and there were lots of different kinds of smells at that place. I liked the long walk and I liked meeting my Uncle Dave.

My Story

2008-07-15T15:53:00.000-07:00

HI! My name is Bailey and I am a puggle. One of my parents was a pug and the other was a beagle. I was born on February 28th, 2008. I was one of 5 puppies. Over Memorial Day weekend a lady came in to the puppy shop and played with my brother and I. She was very nice and she took pictures of use. She came back on June 10th and I got to go home with her. She became my mom. We left the puppy shop, in Fairfield, PA, and drove to my grandma's house. I was very scared and during the drive I threw up my breakfast but it was okay because my mom and grandma cleaned it up. That night mom and grandma tried to put me in the kitchen to sleep but I just barked and howled and cried when finally after two hours grandma came and took me to the same room they were in. I slept in my travel crate but I felt much better because I could see them and I had never been by myself before. We got up very early in the morning and got back into the car. This time it was an even longer trip first we went to the airport and dropped grandma off. She was leaving for California to visit my Uncle Dan and Aunt JuJu and my cousins, Gizmo, Katie, and Sweet Pea. Then we drove to my mom's friends house, Donna. Her house was very interesting she had 3 other animals that I had never seen before. Mom said they were cats but they were really weird. Then we left Donna's and went to the vet. It was okay they played with me and gave me treats, but then they gave me a shot because I had thrown up again in the car. I really didn't like that part. Then we finally got to my new home. It was a lot of fun because I would find things that I wanted to chew but mom would take them from me and I would have to find something else. There is a picture of all the things I found in the backyard that I brought to mom.

Anyway we hung out for about a week. Mom gets really upset when I don't go outside to go to the bathroom so I am working on that. There are more pictures of me and I am sure I will add more to my blog as things come to me but for right now I like to eat, play and sleep. I sleep A LOT!

At our house see those shoes...they are very tastie but mom usually takes them from me. :o(

I love raw-hide it is the bestest thing to chew and mom doesn't take it way. :o)

This is me playing at grandma's house with my tug of war rope again mom doesn't take that from me!

HI ! I'M BAILEY.
