My Effort to Lighten the Mood


I have had my little Bailey in my life for two years now. Brendan and I decided to buy her right after I graduated college. We did not agree on names for her, I wanted to name her Reba and I think he wanted to name her...Something that had to do with football. We decided on a liquor....Since we both like to drink! :o) When we got her, she had no brown in her face and was about 8 inches long. Her paws were so tiny and she didn't have her black spots on her belly, which Jack Russells are known for.
After Brendan and I split up (the first time) I decided I was going to keep the dog. I loved her so much already and couldn't image life without her. Even though she ate every pair of flip-flops I owned and Loved my dirty underwear....I couldn't live without her. My sweet hyper-active, non-barking dog has served a great purpose the last two months. She has been my best friend and my teddybear. She can't bark because her vocal chords don't vibrate correctly. I don't think she knows the difference though. She tries and tries. She also sleeps under the covers between my legs every night. I don't know how she does it. Now my sweet little dog is 16.6 pounds and won't get any bigger. She has her spots and a crazy personality to match. I couldn't ask for a more loving and spirited friend. So this is me getting back to the basics. Appreciating the little things in life.

Hoo boy, this is good. Naturally I am envious (heh).

Listen, kid, I swiped a picture off your site to use on mine. Which will be tomorrow (Thursday). You won't be mad at me, I promise.
