Sleep well Mr. Grumbles

Last night we lost our Bailey, also known as Mr. Grumbles since he would grumble all the time when he was not happy about something.

We adopted him from a rescue group in New Hampshire 6 years ago. . . . he was diabetic and had a hard life before we got him.

Luckily we were able to give him 6 years of fun with all our camping trips.

He is missed by Mr, Books and Lacey. . . . and there is another hole in my heart.


In peace and pieces,


Sherry

My shadows, dark and light

I thought I would just do a quick post to show off my two shadows. . . . .

This is Mr. Bailey.  We adopted him from a rescue group in New Hampshire about a year and a half ago.  He likes me when it comes to food and his insulin shots. . . . but otherwise he is Mr. Books' dog.

Miss Casey has been with us for 5 years. . . .we adopted her shortly after "the little prince" Bogart passed away.  She is definitely my dog and will only listed to Mr. Books if I am not home!  That gets him so frustrated. . . . but it makes me laugh because I wasn't ready for another dog but he didn't like having such a quiet house --- if it wasn't for him she might not have been living with us.

I hope that you enjoyed these small pictures.

In peace and pieces,
 

Possibly Permanent House Guest

About 2 weeks ago Mr. Books and I had an extremely hectic weekend. . . .we left on Friday evening and drove to Manchester, New Hampshire.  The trip, according to our GPS, was only supposed to take about 5 hours.

We left our house at 5PM. . . . . and got to the hotel at 12:05PM. . . . . definitely NOT a 5 hour trip!

Of course, there were numerous accidents along the way, we stopped for potty and meal breaks, then there was the crazy traffic we ran into once we hit Massachusetts.

But, the 3 of us (CaseyGirl had to come with us) made it to the hotel in one piece. 

Morning came too soon. . . .but we were on a mission.  We got a quick breakfast and then when further into NH to our final destination for an important meeting.

Meet Bailey:

We are currently in a trial adoption period to see if we all can get along to become a permanent family.

Here is a picture of us with both Casey and Bailey:

We met with his foster parents and the head of the New England Westie Rescue group at their vet's office in New Hampshire.  I have a picture of both of them; however, without first asking their permission I'm hesitant to post it here.

Bailey is diabetic and since I have experience (from caring for my Bogart) we are all hoping that this will work out.  Finding people to adopt animals with medical needs can be difficult.

Bailey is, for the most part, a wonderful dog.  However, he has been snapping and doing a lot of growling so we are trying to give him some more time to get comfortable.

Here's one more picture of him. . . .watching me from the top of the stairs:

He's trying to be a "tough" guy . . .  but I hope he decides to become more of a "mush".
