Saying Good-Bye to My Best Little Buddy

Hello to my handful of faithful readers...I just wanted to let you know that I may be MIA for awhile.  This past Saturday I had to say good-bye to my best little buddy, Bailey - my  companion for over 14 years.

Bailey in his younger years....

Bailey was 15 1/2 years old and had certainly lost a lot of the spring in his step.  So it was time to do the kindest thing for him and his poor little body.  It was the most painful decision I've ever had to make and the reality of being without him is the most difficult thing I've had to go through.  He was with me nearly every day for over 14 years.  He was dependent on me 100%.  He loved me unconditionally.  He forgave me without question.  He wanted nothing more than to be by my side every single minute.  He, like all animals, was totally innocent.  So it's going to take awhile for me to adjust to not seeing his cute little face every day.

I know that this too shall pass...But I'm not going to blow through the grieving process...So until I start to feel a little more spring in my step, it's hard to get pumped up to try to write much of anything...

Hopefully I'll be back soon...I thank you for your loyal readership....

If you have a little furry buddy of your own, make sure to give him/her love every single day...Be very grateful for their unconditional love and the fact that to them, you are the entire world...

I miss my little buddy...
