Yesterday, as I mentioned, I took her to Petsmart, on a one hour car ride to Atlanta, and to my parents house where there were new people and 2 new dogs to meet. While I will admit that she wasn't PERFECT in the car on the way to Atlanta (she was desperate to get in my lap!) she was perfect on the way home. She tried to get in my lap once and after telling her "No" and patting the passenger seat, she laid down and slept in her own seat for the rest of the trip home. At Petsmart she was very curious, but super polite to everyone who wanted to love on her. And, in Atlanta, she played very well with two dogs who, I believe its safe to say, are a bit high strung. They met, sniffed, and chilled with no real issues on Bailey's part. She may or may not have been the culprit behind the puddle of pee on the carpet at my parents house, but since she has yet to have an accident in our house, I think it may be more likely that Lola did it... but who knows, it could have been her.
She has slept great in her crate at night, although last night she yapped at me a couple of times at around 12:30am, she went back to sleep after i "shushed" her and reached into the cage to reassure her that I was still there.
And, lastly, she is QUICKLY learning her name and to come when I call her, and we're working on "sit" and "sit and wait" when its time to eat which she only does occasionally, but we're getting there.
Our only real problem (thats really more of an annoyance than a true problem) is that she's worse that Caroline when it comes to pulling things off tables and picking stuff up off the floor to chew on.. nothing is safe in this house anymore unless its 3 feet or more off the ground! I guess this can be our motivation to keep the house clean :)
Heres a few more pics of the cutie pie! Remember, she's only $65 to adopt and she's already been "fixed"!!
One more cute story: she was playing "ball" with Caroline this evening. Caroline would throw the ball and it would roll on the floor and Bailey would pounce on it and take it over to the dog bed. Caroline would then take the ball from Bailey and the game would start again, much to the delight of BOTH of them. And when the ball would roll under the coffee table, both Caroline and Bailey would get down on their bellies on the ground and peek under the table at the ball until I would rescue it for them. It was precious!
