shopping #tbt

this picture was taken in march of 2020, just before we were quarantined because of covid.  bailey loved to go out to all the dog-friendly stores. now the only place she goes is to the doctor. definitely not as fun as shopping.

our miracle girl #tbt

this picture was taken in 2015, only 3 months after bailey's near fatal fall. you'd never know it to look at this face that she had just cracked her skull open. she was still on the mend but was making fantastic progress. of course she didn't come out of it unscathed. 6 1/2 years later, she still has seizures but all things considered, she's doing great. she is our little miracle.

january 2011 #tbt

this week i am revisiting a pic of little bailey taken a decade ago. this was just a three months after we rescued her. poor little thing. who knows what her life was like before we found her. it still breaks my heart to think about it. because of the condition we found her in, it was obvious she wasn't properly cared for. but when she became a part of our family, she turned into the princess she was always meant to be.

orange you glad #tbt

today we throw back to september of 2015, before bailey turned white and before her eyes turned cloudy. but what hasn't changed is her little raspberry. orange you glad you stopped by today?

yarn shopping #tbt

remembering back to when we would go yarn shopping at michaels. ahh, those were the days. now i just order everything online, which isn't as fun as actually seeing the colors in person. not to mention not being able to touch them! picking yarn is all about texture. bailey is counting the days to when life gets back to normal and we can go shopping again.

aww, look at little bailey 11 months after we rescued her. as you can see, she's loved being bundled between blankies from the very beginning.

a helping hand #tbt

bailey was sitting pretty, in 2018, with a little help from daddy. she had a little trouble keeping her balance on the sofa cushion, so her daddy jumped in and lent a helping hand. thanks hon.

bailey & bee #tbt

yes, i know the hashtag tbt is throwback thursday, but since i'm posting on a tuesday, let's just call it tossback tuesday!
when bee was here for a visit a couple of weeks ago, the girls enjoyed a little sunshine out back. not too much though, just enough to warm their little bones. BOL, look at all those little pointed ears! they're so cute.

funny face #tbt

this funny face picture was taken in 2011 on a road trip up to san francisco. at this point bailey had been with us just shy of a year and i had never seen her pant before. it was a moment i just had to capture. BOL

wedding dog #tbt

i’m throwing today’s post back to 2015 when bailey was in daughter #1’s wedding. hubby and i, and bailey, all walked our daughter down the aisle. i had my daughter on one arm and carried bailey in the other!

that face #tbt

bee flew back to brooklyn earlier this week and life at casa chihuahua has returned to normal. extra beds have been put away and gates have been taken down. what gates? well...

bee is a very easy going dog but she can be a little territorial when food is involved. because of that, the girls had to be separated during every meal.

march 2011 #tbt

a few days ago, facebook reminded me of what bailey looked like in 2011. this was taken just 4 months after we rescued her. when we found her she was emaciated and weighed only 3.3 pounds. we don't know what she'd been through in her short life but you can see in her eyes, it wasn't good. her eyes tell it all. i don't know who could have treated her so poorly. it makes me sad and it makes me angry.
but today she is a healthy 4.4 pounds and the sadness has long left her eyes. she is our little princess and has everything a proper princess could ever need or want. and most importantly, she is loved.
