September 24, 2018

White Dog was helping me make pumpkin cheesecake. The list of eager volunteer supervisors was so long, we had to gate off the kitchen leaving only Nilla (lying quietly on her blanket) in the room with us. The others pressed around the doorway and cried.

"Anchovies, spinach, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, carrots, and bell peppers on pasta with a squirt of fish oil and a sprinkling of Parmesan will be the main course," White Dog told me but I think it was as much to tease her siblings as it was to inform. "Then, of course, the cheesecake while we sing."

Today is Bailey's very first Gotcha Day with the White Dog Army and we are celebrating. It is extra special because we know that just a few weeks ago Bai also turned eight years old (she was an owner surrender so we have some information we usually are missing).

Our Sky-Eyed Girl walked in to our home knowing destiny was being fulfilled. We needed her calm, elegant, gentleness and her clever way of intervening without being noticed to keep peace. Bailey is unflappable.

Not that Our Girl does not have a streak of mischief, "character" we call it here in the White Dog Army. She is a notorious counter surfer, drinks from the toilet, loves tissues, and can be (for her size) quite a stealth thief. But her eyes sparkle with love and she gives kisses as she assumes forgiveness every time...and always gets it.

Tonight we will honor and celebrate our most wolf-like "nearly" white one ("Well, she does have some patches," Nilla ruled) with a feast, tributes, music (she is a big fan of momma's eclectic tastes so we will be driven by the moment)...and LOTS of family love.

And we will share highlights of your year of "firsts":
She came wrapped in a blanket of love from Breeder Release Adoption Services.

Happy Gotcha Day, Sweet Bailey! Like momma tells you every day...you ARE our perfect fit!
