Monday, Feb 8, we had to say goodbye to our precious and loving Bailey. The last few months were tricky for Bailey and his silly back legs. Even with interventions for pain and arthritis, it just wasn’t enough to keep him comfortable. He let us know over the course of the weekend that it was time, and he was tired of the pain.
Bailey came into our lives from RAGOM in April of 2015 as a silly and quirky 6 year old boy. He immediately fit in and bonded closely to my daughters, then ages 5 and 8. I can’t even believe we were lucky enough to become his chosen family, as I remember there being quite a few applicants for him.
He was a perfect golden, he loved to be outside and he loved to take naps. He wasn’t much of a “snuggler” but still preferred to be in the same room as his people.
He loved to sleep in, and would hilariously move from bedroom to bedroom to remain with whichever family member was sleeping in the longest. Only when the last person was up and out of bed would he go outside and eat his breakfast!
He had a penchant for cheese and ears that would hear even the slightest sound of a wrapper, or crunch of a chip, even from a different floor of the house. He was simply amazing!
He made our lives better in every way, and we’re not even sure how to move on from a dog like Bailey. We can’t thank RAGOM enough for bringing such a sweet and perfect boy into our lives!
We miss you, Bailey Boo! May you finally rest in pain-free peace.
