Got another Dog

Of the six dogs that I've in my lifetime, Bailey my Weimaraner mix is the first solo dog.

I thought of getting her a companion but for different reasons I have not. One of the huge ones is she's kind of jealous.
For instance if my girlfriend and I hug she barks and will try to jump between us although she's gotten better.

Well we were doing some dog sitting for a friend and they had to give up on Maggie because their three-year-old son recently had a neck injury (the family got hit by a hit and run driver while walking in their neighborhood!) is wearing a neck brace and cannot be knocked down and I guess Maggie used to get excited around him.

She had some people in Tucson who were going to see if the dog would get along with theirs but until then Maggie had to stay with us for a few days.

Well, she has turned out to be a pretty good dog and kind of won over our hearts and her and Bailey have been Rough-housing and playing in the back yard which is great to see.


They claim she is just barely a year old but she seems pretty smart for that age. They rescued her from a shelter. She has not been trained so I have my work cut out for me but she seems pretty smart I think she has some Jack Russell in her, she has the Crooked ear and she's always tilting her head.

One problem I foresee is Bailey gets jealous of her and will growl and nudge her out of the way if she is too close to me.

They never had her off leash as she is a runner but the first day I had her off leash in the Greenbelt and she did pretty good she's stuck pretty close to Bailey so that's good.
