Views of the Neighborhood – Bailey Speaks

Bailey

“Hi. I’m Bailey, and the canine sisters finally gave me an opportunity to say hello. The reason I’m here as you may guess is to let you know Pops is still not in a position to be roaming around the neighborhood taking photos. I think he could have done it this week, but I heard him say something like, “The only photo opportunities this week are of Labor Day tourists and who wants to see those?”  So, I was nominated to come and explain. I think Pops also wanted to give me an opportunity which Twiggy and Lucy had earlier. I hope next week we will all be back to normal. At least from a blog sense. You see there is nothing normal about our house. With that I see Lucy giving me the high sign. Have a super day and Happy Labor Day tomorrow.

    I hope things get back to normal, Bailey. You guys are great pals, filling in for John. We all hope he gets to a point where he can get out and about, but yeah, who wants to see tourists…

    Have a good week, try to get some rest.

    I’m glad your Dad gave you a chance to speak – finally!! I suppose the girls didn’t let you get a word in edgewise, eh?

    Bailey clearly understands the seriousness of her assigned task, and your judgment is impeccable. One photo of Bailey is equal to at least a hundred photos of random tourists!

    Thank you so much, Bailey. On Labor Day it is best to stay close to home. We appreciate you keeping watch on Pops, lest he wanders into the crowds. 😀

    Bailey has such an intelligent look about her! Give her a cookie and tell her she did a good job with today’s post. By the way, she’s much more photogenic than dumb ole tourists, ha!
