Why I need a vacation from Bailey

  • So with warmer weather, I've been able to play with Bailey more outside.  The game Bailey likes most now is catch the ball off the deck.<br />
<br />
I sit at my dining room table on my laptop, while the back sliding door is open.  I throw a ball through the sliding door and off the deck.  It is ~20 foot high deck, so that means Bailey must run off the deck get the ball and bring it back up.  Now you would think this would be tiring, but not to Bailey.  He is always ready to play this game!<br />

  • Woops, I tricked him and the ball isn't down there.  He is eagerly expecting the ball!  Throw it daddy!

  • Well, April in Illinois isn't always the best.  Sometimes its too cold or raining, so we can't do the deck trick.  So we play inside.  Here is Bailey waiting for the ball in my hand.<br />
<br />
Notice the tongue sticking out?  Well, we've been playing for awhile.  Tired?  Nope, not at all!

  • Uh oh!<br />
<br />
I've been leaving Bailey out upstairs while I leave for 1-3 hours at a time.  My trainer says to lay out mouse traps on items I want him to stay out of.  So my house as become a mouse trap lair.  Watch out for your fingers!  They are on counter-tops, trash, books, etc.  So far it has been working really well.  Bailey hasn't been on my counter-tops in a couple of weeks.<br />
<br />
Well this time, I left Bailey out after I got home from work.  I played with him for a little less than hour thinking he would be ok.  He had other thoughts on his mind.  He wanted to play some more!<br />
<br />
This is the state of my living room when I returned.  Notice the torn book in the foreground?  That is textbook left uncovered without a mousetrap.  Luckily I don't use it.

    Uh oh!

  • Notice where the couch is?  It is 'normally' supposed to be on the left side of coffee table across from the other couch.  The couch probably weighs several hundred pounds and takes my full weight to move it.  Hmm, how did it get there?<br />
<br />
Bailey, nooo!!<br />
<br />
By the way I just got that couch last year.

  • Bailey's favorite thing to chew on is anything soft.  Blankets, stuffed toys, bedding, towels, etc.<br />
<br />
He found out there is stuffing in the couch!  Guess he found something to bypass his time.

  • When I get home, I'm not exactly a happy camper.  I instantly stick him outside.  I take a break before cleaning up.<br />
<br />
When I let him back in, he wants to play some more!<br />
<br />
Here he is waiting for me to throw a ball.  He is in flexed, pouncing, let's play pose!<br />
