R.I.P. Bailey (5/05/2012 - 1/15/2024)
Early this week, we said goodbye to another member of our
furry family. Bailey was my local brother and sister-in-law’s golden retriever,
but, as with Ellie, Lexi before her and Cinnamon now, he’s really a family dog.
Bailey was the epitome of the most loyal companion. He’d
follow my brother to the ends of the Earth, if my brother was so inclined to
travel. He enjoyed getting good pets and, if you weren’t vigilant, you might
notice he’d already drooled in your lap while hoping for people food. He loved
going for rides.
One of my favorite lines is the time my cousin, Megan, a
veterinarian, stated, “I just want to braid Bailey’s butt hairs.” When I
reminisced with her about this via text this week, she responded, “His butt
hair was pretty beautiful.” LOL!
Bailey is dearly missed, especially by my brother and
sister-in-law. I have a human nephew, but Bailey was my first nephew, my doggy
nephew. He left this mortal coil only three-and-a-half months after Ellie. It
looks like Grandpa Dick has another Heaven-side doggy companion to take walks
with!
Thank you to the veterinarian who eased Bailey peacefully
out of this world with my brother and sister-in-law by his side.
P.S. As my parents welcomed Cinnamon the Friday after Ellie
left us, my brother, sister-in-law and nephew welcomed Gus the Friday after
Bailey left (meaning today)!
