Geary and I sure never saw this one coming. Our sweet
Bailey passed away this morning from complications with
medicines and a Pancreatic condition. She died at the Vet's,
poor Dr. Martens had to tell me, I don't know which could be
harder...the giver of bad news or the receiver. They gave
her a bath and wrapped her in towels so we could bring her
home. I brushed her coat for the last time, rubbed her ears
and kissed her little head. We wrapped her in a soft fleece
blanket and I sewed the seams around her. Geary found a
spot in the field by the barn, in the shade of a tree and we
buried her there. That's where she always went to explore,
and eat the bugs or roll in turkey poop. There will never
be another one like her, she was everything to us.
I'm going to miss her so. My heart just aches.

I am very sorry for you Rosanne, I can't imagine..... give yourself time, I will say a pray for you.
ReplyDeleteFive more days and I will be there to hug you. Art and I were both so sad today. My heart aches with yours. We will all miss Bailey. She was a special girl.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss. I know what you feel. Pets become parts of our family. Remember the beautiful times lived with her to find confort.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss of Bailey. I understand how much Bailey was part of your family and how much sadness you must feel.
ReplyDeleteOh Rosanne, I am sooo sorry to hear of this loss!! Tears are flowing down my cheeks and I'm sending you a big hug!! It is soo hard to lose them, I know. Just last year I lost Ninive, my sweet little cat and I am not over it yet. Take care of yourself...
ReplyDeleteI really am so sorry for your loss - our four-legged family members are just as special as the two-legged variety. Be sure to remember all of the happy and fun times (like her rolling in turkey poop...).
ReplyDeleteMaybe get a marker or something for where you buried her? We cremated our cat that died earlier this year and have her ashes in a special urn that Thomas picked out (she was definitely his cat...)...
Oh dear, I am so so sorry. You are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for the loss of your precious Bailey. He will always love you.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear of your loss, Roseanne. I'm getting all teary and choked up here from your post. She had a wonderful, beautiful life with you. May she rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your kind words. I'm keeping myself busy, but there are so many little things that cross my mind and keep bringing her into my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI'll get through this ne day at a time.
Rosanne, I'm so very sorry for your loss. I'm not sure if suddenness is a blessing as you didn't have to see her suffer, or a curse because you didn't have a chance to prepare. She was lucky to have such a loving home and I'm sure you'll be missing her for a long time.
ReplyDeleteoh roseanne...i'm so sorry for your loss...i know how hard it is when your pet passes...we've lost 2 dogs over the last 25 years...it's very hard, they are like your children...i am sending hugs your way...
ReplyDeleteMy heart is with you. Much love and God bless. Mel
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to type through my tears. Our animals are like our children. Yesterday my husband noticed some gray hairs on Donnie's chin (our Manchester Terrier) and he said, "I don't want Donnie to get old." Mind you, he's only 4 y/o and we hope to have many more years with him. I still have not been able to read "Marley and Me,"which was given to me as a gift, or see the movie and our dearly beloved Yellow Lab died 10 years ago. They never leave our hearts.
ReplyDeleteOh, Rosanne: I am so sorry for your loss. My heart aches for you. I know these little ones are as precious as if they were our children. Take comfort in knowing how much Bailey loved you.
ReplyDeleteOh I am so sorry to hear that...doggies are such a great part of life *hugs*

Oh Rosanne! I am crying as I write this. I'm so sorry to hear of Bailey's passing. I too have a female Schnauzer named Bailey. She just turned 5 and is the queen of our home.
ReplyDeleteI'm sending you thoughts of comfort and knowing she's at peace now. She's just beautiful!!!
Thank you everyone again for your kind words and prayers. Bailey was a great joy to us and she can't be replaced, but we are planning on another Schnauzer in our future. We're thinking we will adopt a rescued one this time. Its a thought...there's no hurry :(
ReplyDeleteHuge hugs as you mourn the loss of Bailey :) Aching heart just touches that place in me too, so thank you for sharing this moment.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss, I am sitting next to my schnauzer right now and would be lost without him. Dogs are like children and they have emotions and needs. They are a little blessing in our lives.
ReplyDeleteI love you sis.
