We decided to surprise the kids with a puppy for Christmas 2008. She comes from a litter of 7 males and 7 females, all born October 13, 2008. We absolutely fell in love with her the moment we met bailey! the family we adopted her from had nick-named her Dora... but Dora just didn't seem to fit.
Bailey is an AKC registered yellow lab. We call her a yellow lab, but truly there is almost no color to her coat. She is quite white. She has a very light tan saddle, but that's about it!
At her first puppy check-up we took her to, (around 9 weeks) we discovered that she has quite a pronounced heart murmer. We do not yet know how this will affect her quality of life as she grows, but for now, she behaves as a healthy, normal puppy!
Her favorite toys are Sara's dolls, Hayden's shoes and Anything that makes a loud noise when she bites it!
Bailey's first bath was something I won't soon forget. She jumped in the tub (only getting hung-up on the side of the tub for a moment), and immediately started attacking the water pouring out of the spout. She then started to spin in a circle trying to catch her tail. This, in turn, caused a wonderful tital wave over the side of the tub, flooding the bathroom floor. Bailey is absolutely a water-loving dog! We actually have to lock her downstairs when the kids are taking their baths so that she doesn't jump right in with them.
Bailey is a wonderful addition to the family and the kids absolutely ADORE her!
