This past weekend, we have babysat Bailey- an adorable Schnauzer that is just shy of two years old. Miss Bailey's hometown is in Wingate, North Carolina- near Monroe- and her parents are my parents- Thomas and Karen. She is a dark gray color and is close-shaved along her back and sides- her stomach and legs are shaggy and long. She has a small stub for a tail and these big amazing brown eyes. Her ears flop over and when she looks up at you, they can go straight out and look like Ewok ears. She has a beard and shaggy eyebrows like Charlie Chaplin.
She whines when she needs to go out or when her daddy left her today- she growls at unusual things- and she barks at the legless dogs, aka the snakes, that we have in the cage. She loves her some Branson, although I can't say if the feeling is mutual or not. She loves to shred toys and loves a fleece rope that I got Branson from Woofstock. She doesn't have the tug-of-war thing down pat yet.
She has some unusual behaviors- like last night when we were getting ready to go to bed, and she felt the need to shred her bed. She turned her bowl of food over on purpose. She refused to come up the stairs and had to be carried. She sat beside of Josh and started growling/talking for no reason. She refuses to be fed from her bowl and prefers to be hand-fed, if at all possible. She was playing with the rope and sat half of her body on me, the other half on the floor.
I got in the floor to play with her, and she proceeded to give me kisses and love and bit/nibbled on my nose. She still has the run of a puppy, that prissy trot that most dogs have. She gets the most interesting looks on her face, especially when she's trying to understand what you're saying. She is rarely ever still but is the most beautiful pup when she is sleeping. She understands sit and shake- doesn't understand Come here just yet.
One thing is for sure-- I LOVE this little girl... she is the greatest dog EVER!!!
