Meet Bailey

We bought a new puppy from our school auction last spring. The litter hadn't been born yet, so we've been anxiously awaiting our new arrival since then. Once the puppies were born, we visited the litter several times, trying to decide which puppy should be ours. We finally decided on a very cute tri-colored female.

MEET BAILEY

She's an English Setter, which are great bird dogs. Kevin would love to train her to bird hunt and they are supposed to be great family dogs. She is very affectionate and playful, which the kids love! I doubt she'll be hurting for attention, with our three.

Addison is especially interested in holding and cuddling her so we have to keep a close eye on both of them!

The chickens frequently get into our backyard and their first encounter was an interesting one. I don't think the chicken was very intimidated! Since then, they've learned a bit more respect. Bailey likes to chase them... Maybe that'll help keep them out of the yard!

We are all looking forward to having a new puppy, although it's already proved to be a lot of work!
