Bye-Bye Bailey

Published March 11, 2007 by Erin

Well, we finally found a new home for our beloved pooch. We decided back in August that it was time to get rid of the dog. It was a hard decision to come to since Bailey was our first “kid”, but with 2 “real” kids now, Kevin going to school and no time to care for the high-energy, high-maintenance dog that she is, we decided to put the plea out for a new owner. We had lots of interest but no takers for many months…. until a few days ago. Someone saw a flyer posted in a dental office in Canton, OH (2 1/2 hours away), called and decided they wanted her. Today we met them half way to make the delivery. I was a bit nervous at first, not knowing what kind of home she would go to. All we wanted was a good home for her, someone who had time to care for her and give her the attention she needed. When we met the couple, I was completely at ease. They were so nice and she minded them right away. They live out in the country with 5 acres of land… plenty of room for her to run! I knew it was the right home when she jumped right in their car and didn’t even look back. :) I saw them drive down the street with her head hanging out the window ready for a new adventure in her life.

Here are some fun memories of life with Bailey.

    I’m sure even though Bailey was going to a good home it must have been a very hard decision to make. Then to follow thru with it, must have been even harder. :O( Bittersweet must have been your feelings when you waved good bye. I bet Ethan misses her though, but when brother Lucas gets bigger, Ethan will someone to play with! :O)
    So glad that Bailey will get the attention that she needs and deserves.
    Love you all.
    Mom

      Samuel has a new room!!  Well, it’s a shared room, but at least he has a corner now!

      I’m not sure our youngest, Samuel, is going to make it to his first birthday. I think our daughter is trying to get rid of him. I think she loves him, she talks to him and about him often. But she has also done things to make us think otherwise. When he is in his swing she likes to push it beyond what it was meant to go. She likes to poke his eyes. She threw his favorite pacifier into the garbage disposal (unknown to Erin until she ran it). She has picked him up and dropped him repeatedly (and tried to pick him up many other times). She has taken his blanket, covered his face with it and laid on him. She has put a marble, a pretzel, a piece of pizza, and other things into his mouth. I’m just not sure if Samuel is going to make it because his older sister is out to get him.

      This is Ethan’s way of saying this room is off limits for Alayna. Now every door in our house, even Alayna’s own room, has this sign. Even the outside doors. It’s Alayna’s catch 22 - can’t go in, can’t go out.

      We went to the Midwest Homeschool Convention in Cincinnati a couple weeks ago.  It was crowded!! Besides the fact that they scheduled the conference to begin at the exact same time as opening day for the Cincinnati Reds (~10,000 convention goers + ~40,000 baseball fans = no available parking + lots of frustration!) it was a nice trip.  Samuel enjoyed the big bed, Erin and I took the floor. ;)

      When your Daring Child is also your Clumsy Child that child will invariably be your Injury-Prone Child.
