I love playing with Bailey.  He is so enthusiastic about it and he just gets so 'bouncy'.  Here is video of his first tricks he's learned.  I have had him for a month now.  He's doing great and fits in perfectly.  I need to get some new pictures of the dogs soon.
Next week we will hopefully have our first visit to the nursing home for his first evaluation for Therapy dog certificate.

Bailey's vet appointment

Bailey had his first vet appointment (since he has been with me) today.  I took him in for a physical exam, fecal exam and rabies shots.  I had to get all of that done so I can start him in Therapy dog.  The physical exam went well.  His eyes look good for his age, some cloudiness but not bad.  His teeth are okay but need to keep them clean.  Ears were clear and lungs sound great.   Then Dr. listened to his heart....then he had asked vet tech listen too.  Then I got nervous.  The vet tech said "oh wow" when she started listening.  Dr. listened again and said that his heart rate is really low (in the 70's?)  He said that he is concerned b/c it's very abnormal but he said that he doesn't hear any murmurs (sp?)  , it sounds good all except for the very low heart rate... .so he is concerned that Bailey could have heart disease.  
I'm very shocked to hear this news as Bailey has the indurance of a young dog.  He keeps up with Ace at the park and he never lags behind.  He likes to lay and relax at home but since he is 11 yrs. old I thought that was pretty normal, he isn't lethargic and will get up when I do....he never seems really beat tired?? 
We will go to the vet once a week for several weeks to find out if it is consistantly low.  If it is consistantly low, Dr. wants to do tests to diagnose Bailey.  Unfortantuly there isn't anything they can do about it if he does have heart disease or even murmurs.
Keep some good vibes coming Baileys way that he is fine and the reading was just him being nervous at the vets office.
Oh and the fecal exam came back clear.
I love my ol' guy.    
 

Bailey IS a Border Collie!!

Not that I had doubts but...........................I took Bailey for a walk at a new trail I just found (each dog gets personal one on one with me each day (or most days) and today Baileys time was a walk on a trail not far from my house. (though I would of taken Ace if he could of but he has to be quiet for a few days for his surgery incision to heal)  Bailey walks well on a leash and will come to my side when I ask him too.  He's doing great.  This trail has a lot of bike riders on it and Bailey wasn't scared of the bikes zooming by us at all.  
Now..for the BC part.  Bailey hasn't really shown any 'typical' border collie behaviors yet (he's still adjusting I'm sure) until today, every time there was another dog  or person walking towards us Bailey would stop and crouch ... then creep forward slowly.  It was awesome to see him being a border collie for the first time since he's been home.  He must be getting comfortable!  YEY!!!  Bailey has been a very good boy.

Today I took pictures of Bailey at the park.  We went to the park and I ate lunch, he sat at my side and watched everyone intently around, he was very good while I ate lunch.  Then we went to the big park and I let him play off leash.  He did fantastic and came every time I called him.  He seemed to enjoy the park and was a happy boy running around.  He loves people and will rub up against their legs waiting for attention.  :)  He didn't like the water but he sure found the mud to trample in : )  No more clean white feet.  

Here are pictures from out venture out today.  Are they blurry or is it my eyes?  Some of them seem blurry, not sure.  Maybe it is the horrible wind we have today??    Don't worry, Ace and Zoe get to go to the park later too.   :)
