First Chemo Appointment

Bailey had her first chemo appointment today and as the doctors expected, she left the building wagging her tail and in high spirits. Similar to people, she may feel the side effects in a few days, but we're hoping she sails through to the next treatment in 3 weeks.

Funny story...Bailey and I were hanging by the reception desk when a girl behind the counter answered the phone in a high pitched/happy voice. Bailey thought the girl was talking to her, so she jumped up and put her two front paws on the counter to say "Hello" back to the girl. Maybe it was one of those moments where you just had to be there, but it was so funny as Bailey clearly thought the girl was talking to her...she can be a bit self absorbed at times. :) Here is a photo of Bailey after her first treatment - happy as can be!


Baileyism
It cracks me up when dogs take on human traits - like sassiness or jealousy. Bailey is no exception and in our minds, has more human traits than some folks I know. We can't help but laugh when Bailey gets jealous of Bocci which is ANY time Bocci is getting more attention. Bailey's jealousy is especially evident when Bocci has a toy. Typically, Bailey could care less about stuffed toys....that is until Bocci has one in her mouth. Only then is Bailey interested in the toy. Joe also teases Bailey when he comes home by greeting each dog. All is great when Bailey is getting her love, but heaven forbid Bocci get a hello from her dad - the sass that comes out of Bailey has us in stitches.

Boccism
We can't help but point out some of Bocci's quirky habits - like when she gathers all of her stuffed babies and plops down in the middle - as if she's having a tea party and they're all invited.
