This picture was taken a few years ago.  Bailey (left) and Sadie lived with my daughter at
the time.  Sadie has developed an aggressive attitude toward Bailey that even behavioral
training can't control.  There was no choice but to find Bailey a new home, and what
better home than with us and her daughters.
BAILEY’S STORY – THE REUNION

Bailey was the first puppy that my daughter, Shelly, and her husband acquired after they met.  
Shortly after they got Bailey, Sadie and Jack also became part of their family.  All three dogs
are Jack Russell Terriers.

Sadly, Jack departed for Rainbow Bridge in June of 2005 but not before presenting Bailey
with a couple of litters of beautiful pups, among them being my Sarah, Holly, and Jennie.

After Jack died, Sadie began showing aggressive tendencies toward Bailey.  Sadie became very
attached to Shelly and would never leave her side.  If Bailey tried to come near, Sadie would
try to attack her.  Ultimately they had to be separated and Bailey was the one who had to be
secluded from the family because Sadie would bark and whine constantly if she was locked
away.  John and I felt we had to rescue Bailey from Sadie, so Bailey is now living with us.

Bailey has been welcomed into our doggie family by all the others.  She was accepted as part of
the pack from day one.  When Bailey first came into the house, Jennie ran up to greet her.  
Jennie got very excited and seemed to recognize her mother after not seeing her for more than
a year.   Bailey also began to lick Jennie's face.   It took a few hours, but eventually Sarah
began to show some signs of recognition also.  Sarah and Holly haven't seen Bailey for over 5
years.  Holly has also since accepted that her mother is back and now lies next to her on the
sofa with Bailey resting her head on Holly.

Bailey has started to play with toys again and loves to play ball.  She seems to truly enjoy her
new freedom away from Sadie.  She seems very interested in the swimming pool, so maybe soon
she will join Rusty, Tucker, and Jennie for their daily romp in the pool.

Bailey has only been with us a week as of the time of this writing, but watch for future updates
on her along with the others on the "Current Picture" pages for 2006 that will be coming out
soon.
