It was just about three weeks ago that I posted a photo of Bailey enjoying a siesta in his favorite shady spot, under the cottonwood tree at the front of the house. Well, starting last week Bailey selected a new favorite shady spot, this one under the aspen tree at the back of the house. Apparently the cottonwood spot was so...well...last month. It's a new month, requiring a new tree.
Bailey began spending so much time under the aspen, just sitting on the rocks, that Alayne ended up putting a dog bed under the tree for him. (At least under his cottonwood he had grass to lie on!)
We don't know why our little arborist decided to change trees, but he did. I took this photo of him lying there yesterday. I think the only thing missing from this scene is a man-servant standing over Bailey, fanning him with palm fronds. (Hey, listen, I was busy!)

I can just picture Steve standing by,fanning Bailey with palm fronds and feeding him dog biscuits!What a picture that would be! Ha ha ha! Love & Peace, Elaine & her 2 boys,Jake & Brave

I think Bailey should have two man servants fanning him in order to maintain optimum cooling!
Thanks for the smiles, loved the post!

It's August, guys. Maybe Bailey just wanted a vacation. (Club Med Ovando?)

Bailey joined the Tree of the Month Club. You might need to plan and ahead and plant more trees for the cutie.

I think Bailey is giving Widget a run for her money in the "cute" department. Look at that face it's priceless

Perhaps Bailey is just fickle and wants to sleep around as much as he can. You know, gotta try everything including exotic locales. You go, Bailey!
