queenwinniesmom Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Oh, that face! Just looking at his expressive face brings tears to my eyes. It's clear that he was a truly exceptional dog who will leave a huge empty space in your heart. How blessed you were to have shared each others lives. I'm so sorry you lost your precious Bailey.

FiveRoooooers Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Bailey was the greyhound in a lab suit, which made him different and even more special than he was. That he continued to wag and wag right to the end is a clear indicator of the special qualities that made him the unique and lovable boy that he was. I am so very sorry for your loss, and for the huge Bailey-sized holes he has left in the hearts of his family, both his humans and his pack of greyhounds. Hugs to you my friends. Amble on Bailey, you have friends at the Bridge who will help you get settled. Be sure to send your mom a sign, she's going to need one. Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs. Thank you, campers.

Charlies_Dad Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) I always remember seeing Bailey in your siggie, the goofy Lab in amongst the regal Greys but it seems that picture was wrong. While Bailey had his goofy times I am sure, he also was as regal as any Grey and will always be. I am sorry he had to leave. Run free Bailey, run free sweetie...

Fiona3 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Thank you for all your kind words about Bailey. He was a truly unique and special pup. We could not have asked for a more loving and sweet dog. My husband has said it feels like we are missing two dogs rather than one at his passing. Bailey's presence was that large in our household. I am trying to think of Bailey resting now in one of his favorite spots. Snoozing was one of his specialties. Snoozing in a sun spot Or a quick snooze outside in the snow Rest well my beautiful boy.

FiveRoooooers Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Funny, snoozing is also a top trait of Bailey's greyhound pack. How fitting. Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs. Thank you, campers.

DesiRayMom Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 There's a reason why labs are consistently at the top of the list of popular dog breeds. They are loving and loyal, with a touch of goofy to balance it all out. Once in a while, in every species/breed, one particular soul goes above & beyond to stand above the rest. It seems that Bailey was one of these special souls. As my siggy says, you were extremely blessed to have earned the love of this particular old dog. His spirit will watch over you all. Happy Trails, Bailey, until you & your greyhound & human pack are united again Quote Blessed is the person who has earned the love of an old dog.
