Shih Tzu named Bailey. Bailey was the runt of her litter from an Amish breeder, and from the moment we brought her home, she completely stole our hearts.
Joe and I have been married since November of 2002 and have built a big loving family together with our 7 children: Tyler (1996), Karissa (2000), Mercedes (2002), Brenden (2003), Melissa “Missy” (2007), and Chloe (2012). We are a very close family, and sports — especially softball — have always been a huge part of our lives.
Before Bailey, we already had our Alaskan Husky named Everest — just like the pup from Paw Patrol! Everest came into our lives after our daughter Missy won a bet with dad that if she hit a home run, she could get a Husky. Missy now plays college softball for the University of St. Francis, and we could not be prouder of her.
A few years later, our youngest daughter Chloe hit her very first home run and also earned a puppy. She chose another Shih Tzu just like Bailey and named him “Bandit” after the Beverly Bandits travel softball organization.
After a couple wonderful years with Bailey and Bandit, we were surprised and excited to learn that Bailey was expecting puppies! We decided not to spay or neuter after having a difficult experience many years ago with a previous family dog named Jax.
Bailey gave birth to 5 beautiful puppies — 2 girls and 3 boys. From the beginning, these puppies have been raised right inside our home surrounded by love, family, and constant attention. Bailey has been an incredible mother, and both parents are affectionate, loving members of our family.
The puppies have already been examined by our veterinarian alongside mom, have been dewormed, and will return for another wellness check, vaccinations, and clean bills of health before going to their forever homes.
