Happy Birthday - Hailey



Today we celebrate our girl's 8th birthday! It is hard to believe we have all survived to see this day. While she bring so much joy and energy to our house, she was a very difficult dog those first few years and looking back I am really not sure how we got through it all. However, if I could do it again, I probably would . . . .

Here are 8 fun facts about our girl:

1. We call her Hailey Bug because her last foster mom had nicknamed her Bug because her niece was Hailey (and Hailey was a huge bug-ger). We had called our previous dogs Loki Worm and Gemini Cricket as nicknames, so it was perfect.

2. Hailey is super food motivated. The picture above was taken outside, off leash. She is posing for a cookie.

3. If you touch Hailey in her sleep, she will tell you off!

4. Her morning routine is walk, breakfast and then back to bed for a nap.

5. She will scratch the door to tell you she or Phod needs to go out.  Sometimes she scratches it for attention.

6. If you ask her where her dish is, she will go to it and smack it.

7. She is starting to go really grey around her mouth.  The only sign she is aging (besides her mellowing out).

8. She is an obsessive bum licker (for no medical reason, just because she can!)

She still has her puppy eyes

A special thanks to Madi and her Mom for this wonderful card!

You really fell on your paws when you got adopted by Lady and Man and who you are now is as much to do with their Love and Dedication as it is to do with yourself. I know that you know that. I am sending you ether hugs and air wags and a big smoochy kiss for you barkday; may there be many more! YAM-aunty xxx

  18. Happy Birthday Hailey. We have often thought that you and Millie could be distant cousins and after reading #8 on your list of "Fun Facts" we know they must be related. Millie also has an odd obsession with licking her back side. BOL!
