Our sweet Bailey girl was laid to rest this morning at 5:15am. She put up a terrific fight the past three months and now she is peacefully waiting for us to join her.
I just can't believe that she is gone. She is my best friend, my SoulDog. I cherish the ten amazing years that she gave me and her presence will always be part of me.
I love you Bailey girl.

I am a so very sorry Bridget. I am shocked, saddened, in disbelief ... but I also know that Bailey is no longer in pain. I am crying with you as I am writing this because I know how you feel and I know how much you wanted for Bailey to have a fair chance. But now you have to look to the positives, as hard as it may be at the moment. For Bailey it means no more pain. It means running around at the Rainbow Bridge like the puppy she used to be. Unlimited romping and playing with Sparky, and every so often she will come down and let you know her presence ... She loved you so very much, and you loved her, and that's something that will never, ever go away. I know that right now, that's not a substitute and it probably doesn't make you feel much better. But in a little while you will feel comforted by this. Trust me. Bailey is not gone. She's still with you, she's still around you ... and I can't wait for you to feel those little signs that she'll leave for you, to make sure that you know that she's watching over you...
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry Bridget. I wish I could hug you and make you feel better ... only time will heal this now ... But just know that Bailey is not gone...
Oh, Bridget! I am so sorry for you and Joe. You gave her a wonderful life and she will always be in your heart.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so sorry Bridget. Bailey was an incredibly lucky girl to have you & Joe in her life. Keep the memeories close to you as I know you will. Bailey is pain free now and will always be in your heart.... she'll make her presence known. It's a great feeling until the day your together again.
ReplyDeleteOK, I realize this may sound cynical, and a few of you may dislike me after this, but when you own an "animal" and it IS/BECOMES your child, then you understand. Time may "heal" pain, but that spirit is ALWAYS there.
ReplyDeleteBay was not just a dog to Bridget (nor myself {just like all of you, I am sure}), and Bridge needs us.
Thank goodness for Friends, and for the one we found in Bridge, Bocc, and Bay... and Joe (of course).
I love you all so very much.
