Bailey and Cinder are my "kids". I adopted Cinder from the SPCA when she was just a straggley kitten, a few years back. She was sitting in a corner cage all by herself, screaming her little lungs out. She complained and yelled about the unjustice of being in that cage with noone to care about her... so she became mine. Her tone has softened, but she still meows at me on a daily basis. Currently, she likes to offer her opinion on the training of my new puppy....
Bailey is a Miniature Australian Shepherd, which is also known as a North American Shepherd. When he is full grown, he will be approximately 15 inches tall, and weigh about 25 pounds. Right now, he is 5 months old and he was born 8/29/01.
His coloring is what's known as a 'red tri', he is reddish-brown with tan and white markings.
I got Bailey on December 28th, from Jan Zawacki at FairPlay Kennels. I spent hours there admiring all of her pups in various colors and ages, before Christmas. My attention kept coming back to the little red tri. I have always admired and wanted a blue merle colored pup, but this little boy captured my heart.
So let's get on to the pictures!
