IN MEMORIAM

Bailey, I don't know where to begin.
Today is March 28, 2001, and we had to put you down just 4 short days
ago, on March 24, 2001. You were a meager
5 years, 3 months and 9 days old when severe autoimmune hemolytic
anemia ravaged your body in 5 days. We simply had no time to prepare. We
were told that it was because of your breed. Period.
How fair is that? You were
the light of my life. You were my everything. How am I to go on? We
were often told that our relationship was not "normal", that your attachment
to me and
me to you was just "Not right". To those people I say...get a life...get
a dog....like Bailey. When I pulled up in the driveway after work for the
first time and I looked through the bay window, through the blinds
and didn't see your body lying on the back of the couch, tail wagging and
anxiously awaiting my arrival, whether I was gone 5 minutes or 5 hours
(you never knew the difference) was just about more than I could take.When
I
would touch your face through the window tickle your nose just to let
you know that I was moments away. I have not slept. When I bake at night...
and at all hours of the night... who is going to hang with me? You always
hung with me no matter what time I left the kitchen. Who is going to go
for a ride with me when I take Brett to school? You looked forward to that
as much as I did. Who is going to open the bathroom door with their left
paw as I was doing "my thing"? Who is going to follow me as I go
downstairs to
throw a load of laundry in the washer...and wait anxiously on the 7th
step (as long as I was in view) for me to finish? Who is going to bring
me the stuffed "Cookie Monster" that mumbled..."hey, hey, hey...it's fun...it'sfun...huh,
huh, huh" You will forever be in my heart. None will ever take
your place. None. Until we meet again at the rainbow bridge and at
that time we will cross over together...
Until we meet again Bailey...
I love you.
Mom and Dad Denett and Craig Bartlett
