Best Housewarming gift ever!

We had just moved into our new home in the middle of September of 2011 and knew from the day we moved in we wanted a pet dog. My son who's just about to turn 11 lived with us in a trailer park most of his life, and we always had to say no to pets that were not able to go in our family fish tank. After we were all moved into our new home, and as soon as we saw the yard was large enough and there was a kennel set up on the back of and in the inside of our 2 car garage we knew it was the right time to think about getting a family dog. So when we were mostly unpacked and settled in we started to look at some dogs online. After a busy day of looking at some signs at the pet stores and not having any luck with the local shelter being open (because they close it up on Wednesdays) We went back online and looked for some more local shelters and ended up finding Paradise Animal Rescue in Columbiaville right outside of Lapeer. We saw a few dogs that looked nice so we called them and asked
about one. The dog we originally wanted to see was with a foster family and we needed an appointment. Then I noticed Bailey on the site and asked my Fiance if she was there at the facility or if we would have to make an appointment as well. They said she was there, so we asked to come in and see her around 4pm so we could bring our son with us to meet her too. They agreed it was fine so we went to meet her. I know my family fell in love with her right away! She was so loveable and sweet! She was happy and full of energy to play I noticed how much she did not want to be in her cage but loved being there with the people caring for her at the shelter. She made our hearts melt from day one with her black heart shaped nose and her great personality. Now that she's home with us we love her more and more each day! Some things have been so new for us with having a pet dog in our life and can be a little confusing for us. We have had to learn so much about caring for her and making sure we
are all happy and comfortable together. She has been to the vet and the groomer already and she has lots of fun toys and treats all the time. We bought her an indoor Kennel that she loves to rest in when she's tired and she sleeps in my son's bed and on her dog bed in his room every night. She loves to go for walks with us in the park and is learning how to be calm when on the lead. If she sees a squirrel or cat or dog or any person she gets so excited!!! We are still teaching her how to not jump or run fast to get them. So far she's doing great and should be no problem. She was already potty trailned and only had two accidents the first two days she was in our home. Our fault we didn't recognise her telling us in time so really she's been just awesome. Family life in our home lately has felt really complete with Miss Bailey there. With her in our home things feel fun and happy more than ever and we are so blessed to have her as part of our lives. We recently spent Halloween
together and I made Bailey a Comic book hero dog named Dogpool her and my son were ninjas for Haloween this year and she looked really cute. My son is an only child so it's great to see him have someone to play with and Bailey's great for him with all her energy! She's really the best housewarming gift ever! Thank you so much Paradise Rescue and all who worked with Bailey and cared for her, she will always be loved and cared for in her forever home with us. :)
