Mia meets a special friend today.

Update on Bailey~

Talked to Greta last night,to check in to see how her new foster Bailey was doing. She said that he is settling in fine,but did get an x-pen for him.

He is so fragile,that she is afraid the others may bump him,topple him over. Outside she said they all play well,but she keeps him on a leash.

So we were talking about behavior things,that both of us have experianced with Mia & Duncan,and how some ways Bailey also has these traits,but is unable to cope or think it out.

Say,like when Bailey is put outside,he cannot control body movements to help get himself grounded. He seems to lack control and immediately runs uncontrollably,and if not watched,he would hurt himself.

With Mia,I always experianced her being being careful,not spastic in her movements out side,and took her time slowly to get to know the yard etc. They seem to have the same trait of throwing thier heads back,Mia does this alot,but I am sure her sense of smell is in overdrive.

Greta does not think Bailey has any light perception,nor do I as I did differant things with lighting while she was here with him,and no response from him.

We also thought,there may also be something underlying with Bailey. Maybe neurological possibly. I told her there is no telling what the pup may have endured in his life,that may contribute to his off balance.

But in all,he is such a love,listens to her voice,and goes directly to her. Yesterday she called him,and he came to her and snuggled in her lap went to sleep. And snored!

The right home will come along,one with experiance with special needs. keeping paws crossed for him.
 
I can see that Bailey has eyes. I am wondering if he only recently lost his vision. That would explain his spastic movements perhaps. He may not know where he is in space and is thrashing around trying to figure it out. My two cents.. :wink2:

He's been blind since birth~
 
Who was going to inhumanely kill this dog? If it was the breeder then I wouldn't call her/him one. I hope that this little one finds a place with someone that appreciates what she can do, instead of focussing on what she can't. Good luck Bailey.

The family that had the dog. Rescue got a tip off from another neighbor they were going to kill it with a hammer. So Greta was notified,and made a dashing trip (3 hours) to scoop him up.

People like that are just poor excuses for air being breathed on this earth,as far as I am concerned. I know thats harsh,but it's my opinion.

I know Bailey will be well taken care of,and Greta is looking for a home that dies have experiance with special needs.
