He found the only shaft of sunlight early this morning.
Look at that curly tail!
~
Officially he is: Bailey Bob. He is 8 weeks old, born on 2/24.
He is half lhasa apso and half miniature schnauzer.
I happily refer to this "breed" as a Schnapso.
He is hypo-allergenic and shed-free. WOOHOO!
(For those of you who have never met our Golden Retriever...believe me...this last benefit was the clincher in the deal. Daily, I can easily vacuum up enough hair to make a poodle. If Sasha wasn't such a kind and gentle dog...she'd be outta here. But don't ever tell her...she would be so sad.)

B has been promised "her own" dog once school was out for summer, but when this little guy appeared on the horizon...well, I kinda just made an executive decision. But seriously...he's so insanely cute, how could I have resisted?

House training is going better than expected. Maybe having Sasha show him the ropes is helping. If only he would sleep through the night...I'm exhausted, ya'll. Big time. B really is doing a great job taking care of Bailey. She's cleaned up poop and pee like a pro (once her gag reflex calmed down). She stayed with him the first couple of nights, but now that the school week is once again underway, I decided to take mercy on her and keep an eye on him this week.

Bailey is easily loved by all in the family. Everyone needs some cuddle time. Even Sasha seems to have easily adapted to having a "younger brother". Bailey does get on her nerves at time with all his hyper puppiness, but Sasha takes it in stride...which is a good thing since Bailey is only the size of Sasha's tail. Sasha is very patient and understanding. (you know, I think she has better parenting qualities than I do...but that's an issue to post on another day)

If you're in the neighborhood, stop by and meet Bailey. He's got a lick, a wiggle, and a wag just for you.

So there you have it.
We are now a family with 2 dogs.
Believe me. NO ONE is more shocked than me.

Can't wait to officially meet our new grandpuppy tomorrow! Oh, and by the way, it looks like we are having twins [birds, that is].
That was really sweet of ya'll to name your dog after our dog. I will let Bailey know he has a namesake...even if it is a "she." :)
Oh so cute! I will gladly give him some love when I stop by this afternoon.
I love him too! The name is just as cute as he is. Good job B.
What!? You're like the the millionth person to get a dog this month, but I guess you win because it's dog number two! And I have to admit, he is kinda cute :)
OH no... I must not let Savannah see this post. Even I am tempted at the cuteness of Bailey, but I must stay firm... I must... whimper... I just gotta!
He is a cutie! I am sure B is in heaven right now!
Bailey is just too cute . . . but couldn't Bradleigh just have gotten a new Webkinz? ;)
You're a traitor, Dana.;)
Seriously, though, he is really cute. For a dog.:)
too cute - I called yesterday on my way home from work - wanted to stop by and see him - but now answer :(
He is pretty cute. I luv him.
