Alayne took these photos yesterday afternoon of Bailey making nice with the giant caterpillar. It was just last week that we posted photos of Bailey giving the caterpillar a solid thrashing. That was then, this is now.
Having shown the caterpillar who's boss, Bailey has now decided he likes Mr. Caterpillar after all. In fact, he loves to nap with Mr. Caterpillar. He drags his new friend over to the bed when it's siesta time.
Bailey had just awakened from a mid-afternoon slumber, snuggled up against the huge toy, when he saw Alayne standing there with the camera. (She just wanted a photo of him sleeping with the caterpillar.)
Not one to pass up a photo op, Bailey began rolling around, rubbing his face on the fleece blanket, kicking his little back legs in the air, and generally having a grand old time. (Note: As soon as the camera leaves, he stops the antics. It's almost like the air going out of a balloon.)
The fleece blanket Bailey is sleeping on was part of a big box of fleece bedding that Margaret N. in Seattle shipped us several weeks ago.
Yesterday Margaret's latest shipment -- 46 lbs of fleece blankets! -- arrived, and last night Alayne went from cot to cot, and crate to crate, laying out the new blankets. The animals just love the fleece bedding. Thank you, Margaret!

Bailey is such a silly guy. I just love him. To Margaret N from Seattle you are an angel for sending all the wonderful fleece.

Bailey is so forgiving! After all; Mr. Caterpillar tried to dominate his territory and threaten dog existance as we know it! I'm glad the two have come to a friendly sleeping arrangement because it makes for a fun blog read!

What a camera lover Bailey is! That's so funny that he woke up to pose & do his thing!
How wonderful for Margaret to send all those fleece blankets! That's marvelous!
Hugs to all & Margaret too,
