A year ago today, we had to post the hardest news, as we experienced one of the saddest days of our lives, the sudden and unexpected passing of our beloved Bailey!
A day has not gone by that we have not thought of our precious dog and shed many tears. Our hearts still feel so much sadness.
He never had a chance to eat from Katherine's high chair as we had promised him he would be able to do once she got "big people food". He will never have a chance to meet our Baby John.
Katherine still points to the many pictures that we have of Bailey throughout our home and often carries them around with her. This gives us joy and comfort and we know he will always be in our hearts.
It was a routine 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!!
