I adopted Bailey, formerly Mo, in March of this year from the Va/MD branch. I drove up to Maryland to pick him up, and he immediately fell asleep in my lap on the way back ( don’t worry, I wasn’t driving!). When Bailey first came to me, he was in a rough state, he had scabies and his coat was worn and he had giant scabs on his elbows. But that didn’t stop him from being the friendliest, most loving animal I have ever met. When he first came home, he would get very sad whenever he got into a car, ( we were convinced he thought he was going to a new foster home). Now, however, whenever I pick up my keys he beats me to the door. Of course, he also sleeps in the middle of the bed, couch, or floor, whichever is closer. (it doesn’t matter if I am already there!). He is fascinated by water, mirrors and squirrels. ( he likes climbing into the bathtub- again, it doesn’t matter if anyone is already in it!) I am convinced he is completely befuddled by the Chihuahua next door, who barks around his ankles. He loves going to his grandparents house, where his favorite pastime is sneaking out of their fenced in backyard, only to let himself into the fenced in backyard of our neighbors- to play with his “girlfriend”. (I should’ve named him Houdini) Bailey has wormed his way into the heart of every person he has met ( to the extent where he did not get in trouble when he pulled the plug out of the bottom of the 2 ft. deep doggie pool at his doggie play care and ran around the yard with it!). He is truly an angel, and I thank Saint Rescue for allowing me to give him a home. I cannot say enough about the wonderful temperament of this breed- they are truly “gentle giants” and everyone needs one in their lives- I cannot imagine my life without a wet nose and giant paws waking me up every morning!
