In my family, ownership of dogs went by seniority. Pipi, was Jordans, as he was the oldest kid. Graham got the second dog, Imzadi. And Ian was the last to get a dog, Lucy. There were some family... issues, that prevented me from getting a dog myself. After the dust settled with that, a good friend of mine gave me one of her dogs, Tug, and was soon stolen from my possession by my mother. I would like to state that if YOU always had a pocket full of dog treats, they would love you more too. Im teasing mom, laugh. Luckily, Becci happened to have two more litters of puppies, and I got to choose one of those. Thirteen puppies. I knew which one I wanted in thirty seconds.
Bailey. He is my very handsome, pure bred Red Tri Australian Shepherd. Cute as could be, and as happy as he could be with his tubby little belly, asleep. Solid red with a tiny little white stripe on his neck. I picked him up and put him to my face, and he licked my nose with the sweetest puppy breath ever. I picked him at twelve hours old, and he has been my baby boy ever since. I will be the first to admit it that he is spoiled rotten. But no matter what I do, no matter what mood I am in, there is nothing better than coming home to him sitting at the door waiting for me. His little nub wagging so hard that it travels to his poofy butt, up his back, and soon is wiggling his whole body just for me to pet him. He has the most loving personality, and all he ever wants is to lay at my feet and let me pet him. He is there when I need to just cry. He is my boy. I wouldnt trade him for the world. He even models for me. This is Beatle Bailey Boo. Enjoy.
Love it! Emma wants a dog in the worst way. We keep talking about getting one for her. Scott found a cute one but it had short hair and Emma wants a small fluffy dog. I loved our maltese growing up (except when she attacked my dates- yep, made me the most popular girl in the school- NOT). I enjoy looking at all your dog pics :D

Lemme clear up some points in Moira's great story;-}...We got Pipi just a couple of weeks before Jordan was born. Imzadi was mine. And Lucy, like Imzadi, was a rescue. They loved each member of the family. Sure I had a pocket full of treats ONCE for Tug, and Moira may say she fell in love at first sight with Bailey, but the instant reciprocity from Bailey was exactly the way Tug took to me. It runs in the family. Humans may think they pick the dog, but in truth, the dog picks their human and love them unconditionally. They wait by the door to shower you with affection the way parents do for their children. It's not just a human need. All living things need that love to thrive and not just survive.
ReplyDeleteI like that Bailey's eyes are mostly closed. I see a bubble over his head that asks " How much longer before we go to the park already??"
Mom, your story is full is false facts. You stole Tug. But he did love you. And he was a good dog to you. I was just destined to have bailey. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm sure that the boys will agree that the dogs were theirs. So ha.
he is just so presh!!
ReplyDeleteI love that he waits by the bath room for you even when you take long showers. He's adorable and perfect for you.
