My dog is awesome!

Have I ever mentioned how much I love my dog. She is my 8 year old Weimaraner, Bailey. Her full name, if we had registered her would have been "Princess Bailey Breeze Hampton" so this photo is kind of fitting:

We have had her since she was 6 weeks old. My best friend and I drove up to Kentucky (while living in Florida) on a Friday after work to go pick her up. We got there at like 2 am and staying with another friend whom I hadn't seen in a while so we stayed up talking most of the night. We picked up Bailey the next day from the breeder's who drove down from Cincinnati, Ohio to meet us there, then we drove back home to Florida. Getting home at 2 am I was thinking I'd sleep great all night long...boy was I wrong!! 
Now, Bailey is my first dog. I have had lots of cats before, but never a dog. She whined and whined and whined and whined and whined (need I say more?) all night long. She was the cutest damn puppy! 
She was my husband's surprise Christmas gift. He had been wanting a dog for sometime so I finally caved. He had NO clue. :) 
Bailey is smart! She knows lots of tricks and she knows just how to play me for what she wants.
She's cute...or pretty, depending on the moment.
She is playful.
She can be a pain in the ass at times, but we love her.

  1. she is so pretty. A dear family friend recently lost their weimeraner, Puff. He was the sweetest doggie and lived a very long happy life.

  2. awww...what a pretty princess...haha. How does she get on with your daughter? Our dogs *tolerate* the little boy, unless he's walking around with a snack-- then they're best buds :).

  3. Bailey does really well with my daughter...doesn't really play with her, but tolerates her well. I don't always trust her with other people's children...not because she has ever done anything, but partly because of what happened to my daughter last year: http://thishamptonlifeofmine.blogspot.com/2011/03/bites-are-worse-than-bark.html
