Saturday's Big Adventure

Note from Bailey's Foster

I met Bailey on Saturday, March 24, 2007, just as she was ambling across Kimball Ave. and I was heading home from a quick trip to our neighborhood favorite, For Dog's Sake, for some treats. We were very fortunate to hook up with Chicago Canine Rescue, who generously offered to assist us in our search for a new home for Saturday and admitted her as a foster dog. Lucky girl that she is, she found a great new family with a backyard of her own and we couldn't be happier for her!!!!

I'm a HUGE success!!!!!!

I just wanted to let everyone know that my mission has been accomplished and I'm a living, breathing, tail-wagging example of the success and happiness that comes with dog-rescue and adoption!!

I've found my very own home, with my very own people, and my very own backyard!!!!

Thanks for the encouragement and well-wishes!!! XOXOXOX Bailey

Leaps and Bounds!

Well it's been a very busy couple of weeks, of course I don't really mind because "on the go" is alright by me!

I went in to the Anti-Cruelty Society's Vet Clinic last week for my spay surgery, and unfortunately had to miss my second class with Janice at Best Friends Windy City K-9 Club. I can't really tell you much about what a spay surgery involves, I slept through most of it. But I sure was tired when I got home last Wednesday.

But I can tell you that by Thursday afternoon I was even more tired of the doughnut collar and the uneventful walks! My foster mom kept trying to explain that I couldn't get out and rough house with Stu and Willa but I just don't get it, I feel like a million bucks!

So you can imagine how very, very excited I was last night when it was time to get in the car and go to class! WOOOOPEEE! And I did great :) Everybody said so! I learned a quick turn maneuver and to alternate between "sit" and "down" at lightning fast speed, and I even managed a "relaxed down" in front of all the other dogs! The ten frozen meat balls that my foster mom kept on hand didn't hurt either - I can't wait until next week! Love, Bailey
