Ouch!

Bailey bit my fingernail off this morning! Owwwwwie!!

We were on our morning walk, and Mr. Scavenger found some sort of moldy food in the gutter. "Mmmm" he thought, "This looks good, I'm going to eat it!" So once I realized what he was doing (I guess I was still a little groggy) I reached down and did something I have done millions of times before: I pried open his jaws, reached into his mouth, and went to pull out the gross thing.

Well... didn't happen that way. Bailey was too fast for me, and he snapped his jaws down on my finger. Ouch! So along with the moldy food, he ate the fingernail off the index finger of my right hand! Yes, at least I'm left handed.... but I use my right hand a lot too... for typing, using the computer mouse, preparing food, washing my hair.... ugh. Thanks Bailey!!!!

LOL!

Ok, so this isn't actually Bailey, but I can totally see him doing something like this!

Let's go for a walk, Daddy.... let's go let's go let's go!

Bailey graduated!

I don't have any recent pictures of Bailey, but I wanted to report that Bailey graduated from puppy school! Ok, so he was the only student in his private class, and it's not like he could "fail", but we are very proud of our little boy.

Bailey learned a series of new commands, and he's getting more obedient as well. It's almost as if, now that he knows some commands, he realizes that he's not "the boss" anymore. So far, he knows: sit, down, stay, wait, leave it, drop it, shake, and roll over. We're still working on some of them (drop it and roll over) but overall he's doing great!

Our trainer was awesome - Erin Castro of Woof! San Diego. We may have her come to our house for additional training as October gets closer (wink wink!)
