This was Thanksgiving weekend and it’s almost over now. A time to be thankful for our blessings and I have many.
There is one thing in particular that I want to express my gratitude for this year. I am thankful I was able to share 10 years of my life with Bailey, my yellow lab. She passed away suddenly on September 7th, very early the morning of Labor Day. The cause was a ruptured tumor on her spleen that we didn’t even know she had. It never showed on the x-rays.
There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of her and wish she was still with me. The void left by her death is huge and I wonder if it will ever be filled again. To say that I miss her is inadequate.
I hope that I’ll be able to write more about her – our life and adventures together, as well as what happened at the end. Right now it still hurts too much.
Thank you, Bailey-girl.
So sorry for your loss, Dawn.I wish I could've met that sweet girl! I hope I can hear some stories one day soon.What a great picture of you two!
I have checked your blog everyday for the last 4 months, waiting for an update. I don't know you but feel some sort of connection to you because I know you love your dog like I love mine. Anyway, I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I know I'm a complete stranger to you but the loss is tremendous…I can only imagine and I know I will experience it one day with my best friend Lucky. They save us even if we are the ones who initially saved them. My thoughts are with you.Nicole
