RIP Bailey Kate

Last night we had to make a tough decision to put our beloved Bailey down due to a disc rupturing in her back.  It has been an emotional weekend that we definitely weren’t prepared for.  Bailey was perfectly healthy Friday and by Saturday morning she could no longer walk.  It was heartbreaking!  But she is now in a better place, hopefully eating tons of treats, running endlessly and loving on everyone like she did best.

Bailey was the most loving and loyal dog.  She never left our sides while we were home.  I might have complained about her squealing with excitement every time we walked into the house, her tracking in grass, her always at my feet or snuggled by my side.  But everything she did was completely out of love.  She squealed because she was so excited to see us home, she tracked in grass because she loved to be outside and she was always snuggled up because she loved us unconditionally!  Bailey was the best dog with Jackson and Harper.  She was so patient with them, she allowed them to chase her around, pull her hair and wake her up from deep sleep. 

Bailey has always been extra special to us.  She was a wedding present to ourselves the day after we returned from our honeymoon.  We saw her at the pet store the week before our wedding and fell in love.  We said that if she was still there when we returned we had to have her.  Lucky for us, that sweet little Beagle was still at the pet store when we returned!

Bailey Kate we will miss you more than you can imagine.  Like we told Jackson and Harper, you are in a better place up in Heaven, jumping from cloud to cloud and running with the airplanes.  We love you sweet girl!
