Alayne got this photo of little Bailey down there at the base of the ramp leading up to the porch on the "people wing" of the house. He had been sitting there for about 10 minutes or so, but whenever Alayne walked down to see if he wanted a "lift" up the ramp, he'd scamper off, only to return. Yes, he seems to have fully recovered from his neck problem of a few weeks ago. He was really miffed at us for confining him to a puppy pen for days on end until his neck got better, but he's now back to cruising the yard.
It's a funny thing about this boy: Despite his obvious neurological issues with his hindquarters, he just loves to get out and about when the weather is nice, and he doesn't want any help, thank you very much. It's almost like he feels insulted that we think he may need some help.
Now, on those rare occasions when his little rear legs finally get too tired, he will accept — but only begrudgingly — a "lift and carry" back to the house. But he doesn't want us to tell anyone.
This was not one of those times, however, and after a while he skittered up the ramp and on to a bed on the porch.
