Haylie

Haylie Marie Duchess

Born Jan 2007

Haylies motto: I’m like velcro, stuck to my owner.

Nicknames: Hay, princess, killer

Likes: Greeting everyone with anything she can find to in her mouth, people and kids

Pet-Peeves: Fred when he is cranky, getting nails cut, cats!!

Favorite Toy: Anything she can get her mouth on

Favorite Walk: Anywhere that has water and mud

Best Tricks: Disappearing when its bath time, shoving as many toys in her mouth as she can at one time.

Haylie came from a breeder and is a great dog, I couldn’t have asked for anything better for a first dog. I named her Haylie because I wanted a dog that I could just say “Hay” and my dog would listen! She puts up with Fred and all of his antics; she remains calm, cool and collective most of the time. Every once in awhile she will put up a fight with Fred and put him in his place…. I like to say she realigns his “Chi”. She loves nothing more than to shred toys and play tug. She snores louder than any human I ever met.

**Update – July 2010**

Haylie has been diagnosed with stage 4 hip dysplasia on her left side and stage 2 on her right side.  She is a canditate for FHO surgery and has been given a choice to loose weight and see if that helps and then re-evaluate for surgery.

Haylie started her weight loss journey at 99 pds and now as of July 2011 is down to 95 pds.  The goal is to get her to 90 pds.
