Our Bailey was a mini wirehaired Dachshund who ran our household. He decided what time we got up in the morning, when it was time to play, when it was time to go outside and when it was time to rest.
He loved everyone and was quick to show his affection. He slept with us every night and I still don't understand how a 15 lb. dog could take up a whole queen size bed.
He loved to chase his toys and to have us chase him. His time with us was much too short and we miss him terribly. But we know we loved him every day and that he loved us.
