<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is hard to believe that it has been a year since
Bailey came to live with us. He started out as "just a transport," albeit
a long one from Lawrenceville, PA, to Quakertown,PA, into Tri-State
territory. Bailey was the victim of divorce--his owners separated, and the
wife and kids moved out of the house, leaving Bailey with the husband who worked
extremely long hours and apparently had little time or money to care for
Bailey.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Though only nine years old, he was in such poor
condition when we picked him up that we didn't have the heart to transport him
until he'd been vetted and had a chance to put on some pounds. That, of
course, was the reason that he is still here a year later. Once
they've been here a while, well, we sort of get used to them and have trouble
imagining them anywhere else. Bailey is a high maintenance guy. He
is very jealous of our attentions, grumpy when having being
groomed, and has a bladder the size of a pea. He also suffers from
terrible skin allergies so that it seems we are always in a cycle of prednisone
administration. Still, he is always the one who gets up from the soft
comfy bed to see where you've gone, lays at (or on) our feet when we are
relaxing in a sofa or chair, and does his best to defend his home from every
kind of intruder (real or imagined).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To those of you who've found room in your hearts to
adopt a homeless dog, we encourage you to celebrate with us Bailey's first
Gotcha Day!</FONT></DIV>
