The Face Only a Mother Could Love


It is amazing how happy a dog can make you, and I am sure I could bore you with thousands of "Bailey" stories. So, I won't, but I will explain a few important things that have gone on in the life of Bailey.

Last weekend, Kyle and I went to Rockdale and College Station. Between travelling back and forth, mixed with the 4 Schielack wiener dogs, Bailey was better suited to stay with my mom. I already know that my mom is going to be a fantastic/obsessive grandmother because she gives Bailey more attention than I would expect her to give a human being. Not only does my mom make sure that Bailey receives ample kisses, scratches, outside time on her skateboard (followed by lots of Benedryl), and handfuls of popcorn, Bailey got sleep in her bed 2 nights in a row. Kyle and I have gone through phases (in our short 4 months of marriage) of letting her in the bed at night, but recently, Bailey's welcome has come to a screeching halt. For some reason, regardless of how many times we take her out, Bailey likes to pee on our bed. Why me? Do you know how many times I have washed the sheets in 2 weeks' time? She wouldn't pee at night while we were sleeping. She would do it while we were at work or an hour before bedtime, leaving Kyle and I to sleep with the skimpy blankets from the living room. So, 2 measures have been taken. First, the bed is a dog free zone. Second, the bedroom is closed while we are at work. However, to keep our room smelling dog free and keep the air flowing, I leave 1 of the bedroom doors open (see below).

While being kicked out of bed is no fun for Bailey, I will tell you 1 thing that makes Bailey more excited than anything else. Her cousin Henry. Henry is Meghan and Steven's tiny little mutt puppy. He has got to be the sweetest little dog ever, and he might be the only dog that truly loves our goofy, clumsy bulldog. So, jump back to last weekend when Bailey was at my mom's. Henry and Meghan are currently back at home until Meghan and Steven get married. This is quite perfect for Bailey because it was non-stop play for 48 hours with her best friend/cousin. :)

Sweet sleepy girl

Snuggling on the couch... our favorite thing to do

This is Bailey on Sunday after I picked her up from my mom. She was wiped out and slept in my closet for almost 24 hours straight.

The little pee pot is blocked from the bedroom. :)



You gotta love her...
