In january of 2007 we lost our chocolate lab Patches to cancer. He was 14. Each day after the house just seemed to get emptier. In two weeks my wife and I, and our cat welcomed bouncing puppy Bailey into our home. All 16 pounds of him. I've lived all my life with a dog except when I was in the service. When I was about 8 or 9 My father and I found a german shepard puppy wandering with other puppys in a junkyard. He was the only one we could coax to the car. We took him to the vet and since his feet were cut and sore from scrambling around in the scrap we treated his feet and named him " Foots". He was a beautiful black and tan and was very loyal, friendly, and protective.
