Everyone’s Walking The Dog! Part Fifteen
Laura Chambers and Bailey
Cashmere designer Laura Chambers on her foster pup, Bailey …
“We had quite a few dogs growing up. I’m not faithful to any particular breed, although because of allergies, we always go for a non-shed. Bailey, our current dog, is a rescue. I got the call from the DSPCA in 2016 to let me know that they received 14 Cavachons which were seized at Dublin Port in the boot of a vehicle on its way to the UK and would we like to foster one. Naturally, as soon as we fostered him we fell in love and there was no way was he going back.
Bailey is the most gentle creature I have ever met – he is a complete antidote to the madness of our home. The vet initially thought he was so relaxed and gentle that he could possibly have Addison’s disease! He didn’t in the end, he is just one of life’s gentle souls.
I don’t know how Bailey is going to adjust to life when, eventually, we all go back to school and work as he has been in his element the last year having us all around. The kids are crazy about him, and when nobody else is talking to the teenager in the house Bailey is the one that will be there for her not judging.
You can get so wrapped up with life and work, even during the pandemic, that having a dog makes you stop for a cuddle and a walk each day which is so therapeutic.
I feel honoured that we were given the chance to foster and subsequently adopt Bailey. He is such an important member of our family. He has brought so much love and empathy. Over the few short years we have had him, we have had our losses and he has always been there with his soulful eyes, wanting to get as close as he can to offer sympathy and unconditional love.”
