wordless wednesday

every once in a while a dog enters your life and changes everything.

tiny toy for a tiny dog

this little teddy bear is bailey's favorite toy. it's really hard to find tiny toys for tiny dogs, believe me i've looked, but at only 3 1/2" this little teddy is just her size. she doesn't have the jaw strength to squeak it so since the squeaker is removable, we took it out and stuffed him with cellophane. she loves the crinkly sound it makes now.
if it was so hard for me to find tiny toys, i figured it must be hard for others to find them too. because of this, i decided to carry them at kibbles place. (these tiny toys are also available as a froggie and a ducky).

i love la

yes, bailey loves la. there are so many dog boutiques and outdoor cafes, she is welcome wherever we go. the sun is usually shining so having a meal outdoors is fine with us; she loves the sun. los angeles is very dog friendly and bailey loves it!

KIBBLES 1995-2010

i know this blog is all about bailey but i would be remiss if i didn't take a moment to acknowledge our 1st rescue, kibbles. 2 years ago today, we lost her to cancer. her health had been in decline for about a year and we knew this day would come but i don't think anyone can really be ready for the last goodbye. i had never been present for the final moments of one of our dogs before, so i didn't know what to expect. though she went peacefully, and i held her through it all, it was the most heartbreaking thing i have ever been through. she was our once-in-a-lifetime dog and remembering our final hours together brings a rush of tears to my eyes and a pain to my heart that cannot be described. i literally lost a piece of my heart the day i lost kibbles. she started out as just another mutt at the shelter but ended up as a beloved member of our family for almost 15 years.
i love you kibbles and i miss you each and every day.
rip my sweet, sweet angel :(

bath day

after bailey gets bathed in her life's an itch shampoo by pet head, she likes to lounge around the house in her pink bath robe. she's such a diva.
