Bainbridge's new family writes:
We now live in Luray and Bainbridge has lots of big, new friends. He will chase the occasional rabbit if it suits his mood. He always comes looking for a treat for keeping the "riff-raff" out of our yard.
We have a home with several staircases (16 - 22 steps each). He is very limber and easily climbs them (or slides down them on his tummy) many times each day. In the morning he jumps up on our bed and greets us with "kisses" then he may just lay there awhile. Or, he may go directly to the kitchen and wait for the "maids" to come prepare his breakfast.
One of the reasons we chose him (or vice versa) is because of his temperament. You may remember we were expecting our first grand-child and wanted to make certain of her safety around our home and our pets (family?). As you can see from the other picture, they (Bainbridge & Hannah) get along very well. It has been that way from the very beginning.
Bainbridge is now 10 years old and gets good reports from the vet. We know that he has some aging and will surely leave us sometime -- sooner or later. But that is true of each one of us. All we know is that surely God gave him to us to love and have companionship with. He has been everything that we could have asked for in a companion.
Look for a more complete write-up about Bainbridge in the Fall 1999 OBG Newsletter.
