You have stuck with me for 12 years and for that I am grateful. We had a good life, Bai.
I wasn't always the perfect companion, I know that, but you accepted me, protected me, and loved me just the same. At first you were't too sure about me (I don't blame you) but we grew on each other, didn't we? I know that lately I could too often be overheard complaining about dog hair on the carpets and sneaky escapes... for that I apologize. I did love you Bailey.
You always were a Boulder-Dog at heart, I think. Oh, you were the best hiking partner. But then you fully embraced the West Coast and later the East Coast, too. Going to the cape and swimming after tennis balls was your idea of a dream vacation.
Your life changed once Cassidy and Dylan entered the scene, but I know you understood. You were so good to them, Bai.
And you knew me, I know you did. You got me, girl.
On your last night, when you were not well, you were determined to climb all the way up the stairs to sleep in our room. And I am so glad you did.
You were one-of-a-kind, Bailey, that's for sure...
And we are going to miss you very much.

Oh Bay, I remember you when you were just a puppy, you were so cute even when you barked at me in the hallway ;)
Through the years you have been such a good girl, even tho you ate things you weren't supposed to we still loved you.
I will miss you bay girl!!
Pets have a way of giving unconditional love in a way that most people can't. Sorry about your loss. :(
She was a lucky dog for sure...I remember you getting off the plane with her when she was just a pup ..for Karen's wedding I think. As Cass always said everytime she heard a loud noise...poor bai... what a nice tribute to her. miss ya Bai...Piecy
She was one-of-a-kind! She was awesome! I am crying! I realize it's been 10 years since we lived together, but I have good memories of Bai-dog. She will be missed!

Oh, I am so sorry for your loss. Pets are truly family and I know it's so very hard to say good-by. She sounds like a one of a kind who will be missed. RIP Sweet Bailey.
Hi There, just a note to say I'm so sorry about Bailey. We have always had golden retrievers and lost our wonderful Auburn 4 years ago. She sounds a lot like your Bailey. We also have a son who is 16 months old and has Ds along with a 3.5 year old daughter. We have another golden (Sunny) and she's the one who's taking the back seat since the kids came along. She understands, but certainly would like the attention she had before kids. Thanks so much for your blog. I visit it often. Take care and know that your Bailey is in heaven looking over you always.

Aww, I am so sorry Laurie.
Oh, I am so sorry - what a beautiful dog!
Oh - I have tears in my eyes! It is so difficult when a pet (a part of the family) passes away.
My heart goes out to you!
