Update - 2 Years Later

Wow! We cannot believe that we have not updated the page in over TWO years. How shameful of us. Here is what has been going on since the beginning of 2011.

Bailey turned 15 years old in February!! As of this writing, she is doing ok, but we do see her backend getting weaker and weaker and getting up and down is taking longer and longer. :( Her eyesite is not as great anymore, but she sure can catch a treat still if you flip one to her. It's so sad to see her aging like this, but as long as she is able to bounce around with us when we get home each day and we see a twinkle in her eye, we are happy with that.

In January (going backwards here) we added a new Furr-addition to our family. She came with the name of Aly (which neither of us were fond of). In the process of thinking of what name would fit her, we were still calling her Aly. Because she responded SO well to this, we decided to keep the name.

Bailey was not very happy on this new arrival. We could not get her to come anywhere near where the puppy was at that time. It broke my heart to see her acting that way. But, after three weeks, we literally saw her give in one day and come around to being her old self. They still aren't the best of friends (all Aly wants to do is play), but they get along now and Bailey puts her in place with her little low-gruff growls.

I'm hoping to update the page more now that it is getting nicer out and we venture out more. Hope everyone is enjoying some nice weather as we are.
