A Faithful Friend

Saturday, our little Bailey passed away. While we knew it would come eventually, we weren't prepared for how quickly she faded. The last two days she could barely walk and had quit eating and drinking, so we asked our neighbor, a vet, to come over and put her to sleep. Not how I wanted her to go, but we didn't want to see her suffer. She didn't want to end that way either, so with a last tail wag and a look up at me, she took her last breath. We'll miss you Bailey!
Ashleigh petting her new dog at the Humane Society. We got Bailey when Ashleigh was 7 years old. She had been beaten, the dog, not Ashleigh, and would just cower in the corner. She didn't utter a sound for almost a week!! Unfortunately she learned to bark a little too well!

Such a cute little face!

Tyler was 2 when we got her and he didn't put up with anything from her! If she jumped on him he would grab her jowls and say, "NO Bailey"!

Show and tell at school.

Giving Tyler a little love! Notice both cats would rather not be there!

Her last day .

Tyler giving her some love.

It's strange not having her around. She was always so perky. Although she was almost 14 she would always run out to meet the car , jump around and wag her tail. She was always so happy to see us!

Goodbye, good and faithful friend.
