Bailey - We rescued Bailey from a shelter about 5 years after adopting Lacy. Her birthday is August 16th, 2007 and she has 7 brothers that are all around 90-100 lbs. Her 1 sister and her are less than 55 lbs and she is the only one of her siblings that loves to swim. She's also a lab mix, but is brown and skinnier and taller than Lacy was. This crazy girl was born with energy out the wazoo and probably will have it until the day she passes. My dad started calling her 'goofball' years ago and that pretty much sums up this little spitfire. Always wagging her tail, she's is a pretty obedient dog unless there is a squirrel around or the doorbell rings. She was my running buddy for years until she became too old to keep up. Regardless, she's a wonderful family dog who is always happy and loves giving the kiddos kisses!
Lacy - She was our 'first-born child' who passed away at 12.5 years old on February 15th, 2015. We had her for 8 years before we had a real human with only two legs join the family. She lived in about 9 different places from a fraternity, to a couple houses in Kansas, to Florida to two houses in Ohio. She was our loyal, gentle girl who sounded like a 120 pound guard dog when she barked. Even though she was a black lab mix, she was a lazy dog from the minute we rescued her from the shelter. I genuinely think she slept 20 hours a day. Her relationship with Drew was probably her best attribute as she undoubtedly let him do whatever he wanted to her and absolutely adored him. We miss her greatly but know she's running around heaven eating pacifiers and drinking 97 gallons of water a day while resting in the sun.



Oh, your dogs are too cute!!
ReplyDeleteI have a little puppy too, Josie and she too, loves eating snow. A lot. Sometimes she is even begging to get outside to just -- eat snow. Weird. I wonder if that is a nice feeling for dogs if its getting cold inside their bellies...
Love your blog -- and am your brand new-est follower :)
Love,

She sounds so similar to our Tootsie! From the balls to the swimming and even wanting to lay on someone! I don't know what we would do without her! Thank you for sharing your sweet blog!
ReplyDeleteYou are right! Sherman does look like Bailey. Or Bailey looks like Sherm. :) Love her and Lacy both! This is such a great story. There is nothing better than a rescue!
ReplyDeleteI love how your blog is set up with all these little info pages and random info. I love lab mixes, having one that was 150 lbs (lab/shephard/great dane/???) and now a lab/American Bulldog mix that will do anything to be rewarded (and a lot that needs punished) but is perfect with my almost 4 year old. She's sat on him, stepped on him, fallen off the couch on top of him, and he barely lifts his head. Not one growl or snarl or anything. He's earned his keep for that behavior alone (although his love of expensive spatulas, bread, egg shells, plastic bags, and so on is annoying he will at least leave anything baby/kid related untouched). I have two other dogs too (a 40 lb mutt and a 10 lb chihuahua that I hope will find a new home soon). :)
