Bailey the Beagle.
August 28, 2003
The lovely Susan, who comments here frequently and is someone I have the fortune to know in "real life" responded to my sudden desperate urge to acquire a new pet by telling me that a co-worker of her sister's has a pet who needs a new home.
Thus, it looks like Bailey the Beagle will soon join our household. Her human companion, who is unfortunately moving away and is unable to bring her with him, brought her by to see how she interacts with the children and the dear deaf boxer. We brought the dogs to the park so they could sniff each other on neutral ground and, while Bailey wasn't entirely pleased with Twyla, it did not appear that there would be any bloodletting, so we brought them to the backyard, where there was more sniffing, more growling, a little nipping, and much cowering between the legs by Bailey.
Bailey seems to like both of the children, and Twyla seems OK with the idea of allowing Bailey to intrude upon her space. It did not appear that either dog had a death wish for the other, so I think we're going to go for it. I think by the end of the week we will have a new canine member of the family.
I'll post pictures as soon as I am able. She's a sweetheart. Very mellow. It doesn't seem like she'll take any shit off of Twyla, but it also doesn't seem like she's likely to instigate any shit, either. And she had both kids doting on her at the same time and seemed entirely unflappable.
Yay!
But I think I still want a puppy...later. Like maybe next year or something.

Whooo Hoooooooooo!!!!!! I am going to juice this vicarious experience to the utmost, Dru. It's be good for y'all - a new project, a new focus for the kids, all of that.
I'm so glad it worked out! She sounds like such a sweet dog, I hope I get to meet her sometime.
Our dog's name was Bailey in the pound but Noah re-named her Peanut as soon as they let her out of the cage. His original name for a puppy was Pancake, which we loved, but he jettisoned it for the more annoying Peanut. Congrats on the new addition!!!
