Bailey er hérna á Reykjavik

Já, já Bailey has been released from his prison.  We paid the $2000 ransom and were awarded our kottur, much to the delight of the girls. 

For those of us who think us crazy for spending so much, well, we might be.  However, in light of everything that happened last year, we realized that life is sometimes just too short.  The girls desperately missed both animals, but Bailey is far younger and in better overall health than Maggie.  We figured of the two, he had the best chance of making it through quarantine.  Risking with Maggie would be too risky, as well, if the animal gets sick or simply doesn’t adjust, the authorities take it into their own hands.

So, seven months after beginning the process, Bailey is living ‘happily’ with us.  He has already been introduced to some of Cait’s friends as they had a special play date just for his arrival.  And lest any ASPCA officials lurk on this site, I should probably not mention that the girls have continued their habit of carting him around like a piece of luggage.  Despite the temporary discomfort, he does seem to enjoy the attention.

Of course, as illustrated in the photo, he immediately scurried to the top of the highest piece of ‘comfy’ furniture he could find.  He is apparently in some sort of competition with himself to see just how many frames and other obstacles he can avoid whilst jumping and then relaxing.

Velkommen til Island, Bailey-kisa!
