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.

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. :grouphug

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. f_yellow

"It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life, gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are." -- Unknown

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...:gh_run

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.

Funny, snoozing is also a top trait of Bailey's greyhound pack. How fitting. :beatheart

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

Blessed is the person who has earned the love of an old dog.

What a beautiful and moving comment about our Bailey. From the moment we saw him, there was a special bond between us. We truly felt blessed, just as your siggy says, that we shared our life with this extraordinary, loving dog. Bailey truly was one of those special souls.
