IT ALL STARTED A YEAR AND A HALF AGO WHEN I CAME HOME FROM WORK ONLY TO DISCOVER AN ADORABLE, LITTLE WIDE EYED CREATURE IN MY FAMILY ROOM.  "HER NAME IS BAILEY",  MY WIFE SAYS TO ME.  " I DROVE THREE HOURS TODAY TO PICK HER UP".  I KNEW WE WOULD BE GETTING A DOG EVENTUALLY, JUST NOT SO SOON.  I FELL IN LOVE WITH HER RIGHT AWAY.  I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF HER AS A FAMILY MEMBER.  I NEVER HAD A DOG GROWING UP SO THIS WHOLE DOG THING WAS VERY NEW TO ME.  I ADMIT, I WAS A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT THE RESPONSIBILITIES THAT A DOG OWNER UNDERTAKES.   BAILEY HAS SUCH A SWEET PERSONALITY.  SHE IS SO PLAYFUL AND HAPPY ALL THE TIME.  THE RESPONSIBILITIES THAT GO ALONG WITH HAVING BAILEY ARE SO MINIMAL IN COMPARISON TO THE JOY SHE BRINGS MY WIFE AND I.  BAILEY IS A BEAGLE/COLLIE MIX.  SHE HAS THE CUTE LOOKS AND STUBBORNNESS OF A BEAGLE AND THE ENERGY AND INTELLIGENCE OF A COLLIE.  SHE HAS BEEN IN TRAINING WITH MY WIFE AND A INSTRUCTOR SINCE SHE WAS A PUPPY AND SHE IS CURRENTLY IN AGILITY TRAINING.  SHE HAS COME A LONG WAY SINCE THE START OF HER TRAINING.  SHE RESPONDS TO SIGN LANGUAGE WHICH I THINK IS INCREDIBLE.  BAILEY IS EXTREMELY ATHLETIC.  SHE IS A FANTASTIC RUNNER AND HAS AN AMAZING ABILITY TO CATCH HER BALL IN MID AIR.  SHE IS SO ENTERTAINING TO WATCH.  SINCE HAVING BAILEY, MY PERSPECTIVE ON DOGS HAS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY.  I DON'T MIND DOG HAIR AROUND THE HOUSE, OR TOYS LAYING ON THE FLOOR, AND SHARING MY BED.  IT'S REALLY SOMETHING ELSE THE WAY YOU CAN LET YOUR DOG INTO YOUR HEART AND TREAT THEM WITH THE SAME LOVE AND RESPECT YOU WOULD A PARENT, SIBLING, OR A FRIEND.  I'LL NEVER GET TIRED OF THE WAY BAILEY GREETS ME WITH HER TAIL WAGGING FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND LOTS OF WET KISSES.  IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS BAILEY DOES THAT CAPTURE MY HEART AND WILL FOREVER ENGRAVE MEMORIES OF MY FIRST DOG AND HOW SHE HAS CHANGES ME IN SO MANY WAYS.  I WISH AND HOPE THAT BAILEY IS LIVING THE LIFE SHE DREAMS ABOUT SNUGGLED SO CLOSE TO ME EVERY NIGHT.  I HOPE SHE LIVES A LONG LIFE AND CONTINUES TO BRING JOY INTO MY FAMILIES' LIFE.  I LOVE YOU BAILS AND THIS DOG BLOG IS DEDICATED TO YOU.
