BAILEY


Hi Paul. Another great story to add to your collection.

Bailey has been with us nearly 4 months now. It has been a amazing turn around for her and the family. She has gained alot of confidence, manners and love. She shares every thing with you, she is just a joy to be with. We had a shar pei for 15 years who sadly died. She was a great age and it did leave a big hole in our hearts. For two years we spoke about her and we have a big photo on the wall. And now baileys is next to it.

One day i had the courage to look for a new shar pei. This was also letting go of the past and thought if I could maybe do a little good and rescue one. This was like starting all over again with a new born cause this is the way you treat them as they need one to one attention. I read on your rescue page and saw Bailey there was no pictures, just the writing, but it did not matter to us. So anyway she was living in fostercare and I went to visit her. The carer gave us as much information as she could and was a great help. She'd been visitig the vets often, to get her things treated. We put her into the car and drove home.

She was very nervous and scared and wondering what was going to happen next. As far as i could work out what kind of life she had lived, I have the idea it was a awful one, but now she has a great one. We had to do a lot of work with her and get to understand her. She would not let us take her out for ten weeks or go near her, she was so frightened. A lot of patience and understanding gave us the will to carry on as she wanted some one to understand her. 4 months down the line she is such loving, caring dog. She get up every day at 4.30am, loves her walks and the garden, always playing and is very intelligent. Thanks paul for all your support and assistance and also Bailey, its great to have her.
