In Memory of Bailey

Until now, our blog has been reserved for only happy news, but yesterday Donna and I experienced one of the saddest days of our lives. Suddenly and completely unexpectedly our beloved Bailey passed away.

It was a rountine Saturday that started with doing yard work, enjoying coffee and a muffin at St. Elmo's Cafe, and then taking Bailey and Simba to their annual vet check-up. As always, Bailey was super excited at the thought of a "car ride" and took his position in the back of the car. However, after he energetically jumped out of the car and began to make his way out of the vet parking lot, he suddenly collapsed. The doctors quickly rushed to his aid, but their revival attempts were unsuccessful.

The cause of his death is not known, but the doctors assured us that he was not in pain. At seven years old, he was taken from us way too soon, but we know that he's in a better place. Bailey brought a tremendous amount of joy to our lives and we will miss and love him forever. We love our Mr. Bailey!!

This year Donna celebrated her first Mother's Day! A day she has waited for a long time to celebrate! Daddy and Katherine whisked Mommy away for a night's stay at the Hotel Lorein in Old Town. Where Mommy was pampered with a massage, a delicious dinner and breakfeast! Most importantly the three of us spent the time together!
