Memorial To My Beloved Bailey


A candle for Bailey

Bailey, my gentle giant Rottweiler went to Rainbow Bridge on October 9, 2003. He did not know how ill he was and no matter how bad he felt he always was ready to give me a gentle kiss.

When the vet report came back that he had cancer, I could not let him waste away into nothing, when he was so strong and beautiful. It was one of the hardest decisions I have had to make to let him leave me. My heart is broken, but I know he is waiting for me and watching over me until we meet again.

My Cherished Memories

Bailey came to me as a rescue that had no place to go. Some rescues thought he should be put down and I could not let that happen. I do toy breed rescue and never had a Rottie before, but what a pure joy it was to get to know such a magnificent breed through the beauty of a kind soul as Bailey.

With all his strength he was as gentle as a lamb to give me a kiss. I could take his biscuit right out of his mouth while he was eating it, with never even a grumble. He loved to play Frisbee and would always "help" with the hose when the car was being washed. He was still a great watch dog and no one ever came near without Bailey telling me.   

How I Cope

How does one *cope* with the lost of a beloved companion.....? I cried my eyes out for days. I *heard* him barking sometimes and I constantly am going to the door to see if I let him out or let him inside. My friend Steph had to put her Rottie "Onyx" to sleep two days after Bailey. We have been consoling each other, knowing our *babies* are up in Heaven, running, playing and without pain. I am deeply grateful for all the support and kind words from so many rescue friends from all over the United States that may only know me through the Internet.

This is a link to a Memorial page my friend Cindy Vernasco, Rottie Rescue in Maryland put Bailey on http://www.roxiesfund.org/memorials.html

She could not have chosen more fitting words from what I had written to her about my Bailey.

" I told Bailey when he went to sleep he could come right back home to be with me ALWAYS. I loved him so so much!!!"
