it's taken me a while to get this post up but on 5 april, we had to say goodbye to our little girl. she put up quite the fight, but in the end, we had to make the decision to let her go. she had pretty much stopped eating and had lost so much weight. she could hardly stand without falling down.
we had a really long talk with our vet and he thought her pancreatitis had returned. she had pancreatitis last year (and beat it!) but the treatments took a lot out of her. it had returned last month and she had a week of treatments. we had thought that was enough but i guess not. doc didn't think she was strong enough to withstand any more treatments (she was down to 2.8 pounds!) so our only option, for her sake, was to let her go.
my heart is in pieces and i feel so lost. she was by my side 24/7. she even slept on my chest when we went to bed. our home is like an empty shell without her. she was tiny but she has left a huge hole in my heart.
our last picture together
medicine time was her least favorite time of day and had to be "persuaded" to take them.
looking through my camera roll of her pictures, i see how she had declined in health over the last few months. she put on a brave front but she couldn't go on pretending everything was ok and we couldn't let her.
our little princess
reunited in doggie heaven with her best pal, aoife
she loved her daddy more than anything
bailey attended the weddings of both of our daughters
little bailey loved to play on her giant lamb chop
my "drinking" buddy
oh, that face!
spoiled rotten little doggie
proud of her chihuahua heritage
goldilocks? BOL
she was such a sport and didn't mind at all when i would dress her up. if she didn't like it, i wouldn't have done it. really, she was ok with it.
she loved to be wrapped up in a blanket and she always needed a pillow under her little apple head. ok, yes, we spoiled her but she deserved it.
she also loved to travel and was great on road trips. she's travelled california from san francisco down to san diego. we even took her on our anniversary trip to tucson, arizona!
but i think her most favorite thing was when the three of us sat on the sofa together. mommy on one side and daddy on the other. pure bliss.
i love you little bailey. i will miss you forever.
rescued 2010 - lost 2021
be safe my friends-
We're so sorry to see that beautiful Bailey has gone to the Bridge. She sure was a special little one and had the personality of a much bigger pup. We will miss seeing her sweet face all snuggled in her blankets. Our paws are crossed for you and we are sending warm hugs to both her pawrents.

First thing I did when I turned on my computer was to open up Bailey's page and see what she had been up to. I also miss her so much and enjoyed seeing her in all her pretty outfits. I loved her eyes so big and bright, I am sure she is lighting up doggie heaven with her gorgeous eyes. Love you dear Bailey.

This is such heartbreaking news and I'm so very sorry. I actually thought that she had once again beaten the "P" monster. It's a terrible disease and we also lost our little Doxie, Tara, a number of years ago the same way. I know she left a huge hole in your heart and that's because she took part of your heart with her. Rest in peace beautiful girl. We will never forget you either. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to read this and know that pain of losing a pup. She was such an adorable Chi, and will be missed by many of us who enjoyed reading about her. She was so cared for and loved and had a wonderful life because of you.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. Its so hard to have to say goodbyes like that.

We send you our woofs and wags and licks, and petcretary adds her hugs.

ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose them, they are so much a part of our lives.
ReplyDeleteThis is the saddest I have ever been over a little dog I never met . It had been a while since I stopped by with us moving to Florida, we have been out of sorts. It breaks my heart to learn such a sweet little baby has left the world. The world was so much better with her in it. I always looked forward to seeing her posts. I can't imagine the sadness you feel. So very sorry for this huge loss of such a tiny little one. :(
