Weekend Trip

Bailey had an adventurous Saturday. We wanted to give Bailey something special, so we decided to go to the dog bakery where there's plenty of yummy treats! We also wanted Bailey to see more people, for the past few days she hasn't seen new people so she's gotten timid again.

When we put her in the back seat, Bailey complained for a bit because she wasn't used to being in the car for so long. I think she just wanted to drive, but she doesn't have her license yet, so maybe next time. It was such a sunny day, I had all the windows open to let the fresh air in and Bailey just loved taking a long sniff and smelling all the interesting scents. When she got tired of looking at the view, she would lay on my mom's lap and take a quick nap before returning to the window. We were really pleased that Bailey was calm in the car. She didn't wander around when the car was in motion, instead she just sat in her seat and looked out the window.

Arriving at the bakery, Bailey could not stop sniffing the place with a very happy tail. The lady working at the bakery gave Bailey a delicious treat and at once she loved the lady. She is now remembered as the "lady with the yummy treats".
Deciding what she wanted was the hard part. Looking at the yummy treats made me wish they were for humans! They had cupcakes with frosting, brownies, carrot cakes and all sorts of cookies. In the end we choose a couple of good looking cookies.

Bailey's new friend, Bear. He's a handsome, adorable 9 week old St. Bernard and twice as big as Bailey! Many people have mistaken Bailey as a St. Bernard... do you see the resemblance?

By this time, Bailey is exhausted and wants to go home and take a nice long nap. Before we headed home, we stopped at Tisol to buy Bailey a new leash (one that's shorter to handle her better) and an extra squeaky squeaky toy.

Easily Amused

Bailey found a new inexpensive toy to play with... a bottle. She learned that this interesting toy makes a lot of crunching noises when she bites down and that it fits in her mouth. I think that she was happy to find something that she can actually lift! All her chew toys are a bit heavy and a little too big for her mouth. She'd run around the house with the bottle in her mouth and away from us trying to get the bottle to toss it across the room.


This is the bottle after Bailey was half done with it. She's eyeing the bottle asking us to give it back to her. We had to give her a new bottle to play with because the first bottle wasn't in good condition... Poor bottle. Well now we have a new idea what see looks for in a toy! Something that is light, makes a lot of noise and can roll away. She's going to be exhausted tonight!

Amusing Puppy

Here is Bailey playing with the door stopper. She was very amused by the noise it made when she pawed it. This video was taken when she was nine weeks old.

Visit to the Vet

Bailey went to the vets and had her second shots. Instead of being scared of the needle, Bailey was very calm! It seemed as though she didn't even feel the needle! The kennel cough injection was amusing to her. She's never had something go into her nose before! She now weighs 23 lbs (and counting)!!! Wow... she gained 8 pounds! Bailey saw other dogs in the hospital and she wanted to greet them, but she could not go near them yet. Soon she'll be able to make as many friends as she wants!

Trip to the Village

Today the whole family (even Bailey) went to Steveston village for a walk. Arriving at the village Bailey was scared to see so many people and so many smells! But after a few seconds she began to show interest to her new surroundings. Every step we took we were stopped by puppy lovers wanting to pet Bailey. She was getting so much attention! Everyone seemed to love her! Bailey was behaving so well, walking by our side and sat in front of us while we ate fish and chips. She wasn't timid of people when they came over to pet her, she wanted to greet them! After her long walk at the village she comes home all pooped out and now she's on her bed taking a nap.
