Bailey, first made her TV debut when we saw her and about 11 other basset hounds being rescued from a home in Portland. Their owner had too many dogs and they were being neglected. A week or so later, Jay got a press release with some adorable pictures of these dogs. There were 3 puppies and then 9 older dogs that were going to be available. Jay and I talk about it and decided it was time to get a dog. So Friday morning we were up at 6:30 AM and made our way out to the shelter. By the time we got there, we were seventh in line. We knew our chances of getting a puppy were slim. But we decided to stay in line and see what would happen.
When we finally got into the shelter, the puppies had been adopted. We looked around and saw this sweet and "docile" dog, "Hanna Ana" We talked to the vet rep and then decided to spend some time with her. When they took her out of the kennel, she got a kick in her step and was very happy. We spent some time with her and decided to take the plunge into "dogie parenthood" =-)
Bailey is such a sweet dog. When we got home, our nephew Ryan was sitting on the floor. She walked right up to him, they looked into each other's eyes and became best friends. It was so sweet! I love this picture of Ryan's face. =-)
Bailey doesn't bark or bite. She isn't aggressive and loves to be loved!!!! She loves people and kiddos and of course treats.
Bailey Roi Allen
Jay wanted a dog with a Blazer's theme, and I wanted a sweet name. So Jay can now say he has a dog named B-Roy and I can say I have a royal dog, as we found out Roi is royalty in french. Perfect since her breed is french.
This is her curious look when she is watching me in the kitchen wondering what I am going to give her to eat. I love those ears!!!
During her first few days she was by our feet every moment. Now she enjoys her many blankets around the house. But still she has to be within eyesight of Jay and I. And of course her favorite pass time is napping. I'm thinking this is a perfect dog for us. =-)
Jay loves his new girl! He gets to get her up in the mornings and then she goes in with him to do his news reports. It's very cute! Don't worry, he's not kissing her, just talking. She loves all the attention she can get. It's so cute!
So that's our new girl! We love her and are enjoying this new phase in our little family. It has been a transition, but we are doing good. Can't wait for you all to meet her.
