Baily-Update -NEW update

Here's the little guy from the shelter that I picked up today. He's small, only about 16 lbs. Poor guy got neutered by the shelter just a few hours before I got him so he was really out of it. They said he clearly was in pain when they tried to manipulate his hind legs and tried to bite (I would too in that shelter!), so we don't know yet what that is. He was too out of it to really get in a good examination today so our vet is going to give him a good going over tomorrow. He's so cute, and he sat very sweetly on my lap at the vet's. He definitely needs a dental and has an upper respiratory infection starting though.

Oh Bailey - you are a handsome puggy. You may feel yucky now, but you have no idea how your luck just changed for the better!!

He looks so sweet Saira!

He's really really handsome! They said he's about 4, he doesn't have any gray on him. I felt bad because he looks soo miserable. Hopefully we will get good news tomorrow.

Bless his little heart.
You're right Saira, you can see the pain in his eyes. I hope he gets well and finds a great home soon.

That poor baby needs lots of love and attention.

Poor little mook. I hope he can get squared away quickly. He's adorable--even post-op with a snotty nose.

He was found as a stray, can you believe it? I'm seriously thinking there is a byb around the area where he was found, because that is also the area where Sophie was found, and another black pug, Storm, that looks a lot like Baily.

Poor sweetheart. I hope he feels better soon and finds a great furever home.

Hmm, that very well could be. Makes ya wonder.

He is so handsome! I met Saira at the vet and got to see him in person. even groggy and snotty, I still wanted to take him home!

can't wait to see the after pics where he's a happy SPOILED puggie.

Poor sweet darling - his luck has at last changed for the better, coming in to a good rescue.

I think X-rays will be needed by the sound of it - how old is he estimated to be, Saira? He looks fairly young going by the pics- 14 to 18 months maybe?

OOOPS, sorry - I should read posts better. About 4. Hmmmm.

X rays are on the menu for tomorrow! The shelter said he's 4 but they are notoriously bad at guessing ages. I was thinking more like 2 since he doesn't have any gray at all on him, but his teeth are kind of icky.

I thought he looked fairly young as well. I would think 4 is a little too old. He is just adorable no matter what. I wish I could take him home!

So handsome, I hope he's in better spirits tomorrow!

Poor little guy! What a handsome face. I hope he gets better quickly and you all get good news the from the vet.

What a darling boy, what a sweet, sad little face. Please give him a big hug from all of us across the pond, Saira.

I hope there's nothing too serious going on when you get him x-rayed. I have a feeling he'll be a quick adoption!

which is why Saira won't let me adopt him! LOL I know, I'm a sucker for the black boys but unfortunately I need a backyard to handle two doggies. I know we'll find a great home for him. Just can't wait to see him all happy!

I was thinking he needs a home with a little girl to keep him company (ie Zoe :-). I think with the bad back legs he needs to go to a special home...Mel's home. You don't need a back yard. I just have a bricked in patio and I've had up to 3.

BTW...I love his name (waaaahhh)

No one is allowed to post pics of adorable black boys any longer! Baily is so cute! I just want to take him home. I hope things turn out OK with him. It will be interesting to see what his diagnosis is and I hope it is nothing too serious.

Yard, schmard! Walking two is a piece of cake. Heck, we had three when we were in our condo.

Bailey is adorable! I hope that the poor little guy is fixed up and feeling better soon. That sad face just makes me want to hug him.

Just talked to the vet. He has an upper respiratory infection that's pretty bad and he started throwing up yesterday. But when she did an examination, everything looked and felt ok with his legs. She did see a scar by his ankle that looked like a possible old injury but he is walking around fine on it and doesn't seem sensitive to it. We want to wait until he's feeling better to do x rays though, so he's resting tonight and hopefully tomorrow we can get those done. Poor little man.

Poor little muffin man. Hope he feels better soonest.

Poor baby! I hope the URI clears up quickly and he's feeling better!

Oh, poor Baily!!! I hope he heals up quick and finds his forever home. Who could not love his adorable face?
