Bailey & Harrigan, born 25 October 2013.

Eight weeks before I received the double blessing of adopting The Sisters, Harrigan and Bailey, from a litter of ten puppies, which were born on 25 October 2013.

Christmas night, I drove down to the Lasourdesville Lake area near Mason, Ohio, to retrieve one puppy courtesy of a student who had set up a meeting without my knowing. The reason? Four days before Christmas, Chief’s litter-mate and sister, Navi, 3, had to be put down after suffering life-threatening injuries from being by a car. I drove to the puppy home with the intention of bringing home one puppy. Just one. However, there were two remaining by the time I arrived.

I left with both. I am so grateful I did.

Happy 9th birthday, Sisters!
