Bailey Boy!

Laying with his sister while I was in the shower! :)

At Keith's apartment, making sure Reagan doesn't fall over!

I do believe I am overdue for an update on our first child, Bailey! :) He is a great big brother and loves his sister to pieces. He gives her kisses and is very protective of her!!

Last week Keith had Bailey in Winston with him and on Tuesday he noticed that Bailey had red dots on his belly. Thankfully we were meeting him for dinner on Wednesday night so we picked Bails up so I could take him to the vet on Thursday.

Keith looked up the dots online and thought it might be ringworm, but obviously we didn't know. The vet didn't know either, which is always helpful, so she took bloodwork and was going to let us know what she found. We didn't hear anything until Friday night when she called and said that it is either liver disease or Bailey ate some kind of rat poison. Of course, I cried!! LIVER DISEASE!?!?! She wanted to draw more blood though to be sure, so on Saturday morning Keith took Bailey back to the vet for more blood. Finally on Monday we got a phone call that it is NOT liver disease, thank goodness! He is taking an antibiotic and vitamin K now to help him totally heal.

Bailey is such a wonderful dog...we have a basket of Reagan toys in the family room and he doesn't even touch them! He knows he has his basket and sister has hers! It's pretty sweet. While I have to admit the poor guy does not get all the attention he is used to, he still gets plenty of love and of course, snuggle time at night! :)

  1. I was wondering how your first child was doing with the new addition! I am worried about Hank, but know he will be great too. I would have bawled if someone said the words LIVER DISEASE about Hank!!! Did you take him to a vet in Winston? Or Raleigh? I can tell you who NOT to use in Winston... we had quite a bad time with one vet there. Love the pics of the pup and the babe.... too cute!
