Bailey

This little guy followed me home a couple days ago on my way home from grabbing some beer at the Texaco up the street. I was riding my bike and he started following me (which isn't all together unusual for a dog) but he continued all the way to the house. I let him in to check for tags and such -- a collar but no tags. Kik and I guessed he is about 7 or 8 due to his greying but he is still frisky enough to hang with Jed, they became fast friends. Kik called him Bailey and I headed back out on my bike to see if anyone was out looking for their dog in the area I had passed through when he started following me. Nothing. So I headed back to the house and we continued to watch the game (Yanks/Red Sox) and the dogs played as we discussed taking "Bailey" to the vet in the morning to check for a chip. And then he peed on my bike. And then he peed on Kik's bookcase. Then he started chewing everything. Everything. He even encouraged Jed to assist him in digging a huge hole in the backyard. Nice.

So Kik took him to the vet - no chip. We looked into no-kill shelters and even considered giving him to a friend of Kik's at work whose kids have been begging for a dog. And then Bailey left. Kik came in with Jed from the morning pee and Bailey had tunneled out. Off to his next home I suspect. I think I've known people like Bailey. I think I've been people like Bailey. Either way, if you see him say hi.
