Got another update on Bailey.......
Quote:
THANK YOU to all who donated to give Bailey a chance...Look what your help has already accomplished! & her foster mom says she's already a complete "Portland Dog."
Update on Bailey, our little Texas gal with Glaucoma AND Heartworm! She's on her third week in Portland and is fitting right in. Foster mom Amy Sutter posted a few photos of Bailey's adventures in the last week or so...She'll be starting HW treatment shortly, and once that's done, and her heart is declared sound, she will have her eyes removed. The vet says she has zero vision and she is receiving pain prevention treatment. And handsome Dundee is enjoying having a "young chick" to keep him company...the only other dog in his household the last couple of months has been "Little Old Lady" who basically eats and sleeps.
Once Bailey is done with all of her vetting, she'll be ready for a new home...about 6 months out...so please keep her in your thoughts as you hear folks discuss wanting a cattle dog. Bailey is about 6 years old and weighs roughly 25 lb....and it looks like she enjoys going for bike rides in a backpack!

On trails at Forest Park. Bailey uses foliage to feel where the trail is. She stays on trail and often gets far enough ahead of me that I have to tell her to slow down!
Dundee is her biggest obstacle (he stops on the trail in front of her).
Bailey fits & rides with mellow comfort in my bike pack!
Bailey's foster mom has to say "come out Bailey" otherwise she's perfectly content chilling in the bag.
These are smart little dogs.....even with no sight. My heart swells with pride at how many folks care about giving sweethearts like Bailey a chance at life....
