Our Sweet Bailey


Bailey is our sweet black labrador. She is now almost fifteen years old and will probably not be here much longer. She has gone from 75 pounds to 41 pounds in the last year and her kidneys are beginning to fail. Our family is struggling with this news, as she has been a part of our family for a long time. Kip and I got her a few months after we were married . . . she was only 3 months old! Anna Beth prays every night for Bailey not to die and poor Ethan can't even think about it without losing all composure. Bailey is now an outdoor dog; however, with the cold snap we've been bringing her in for just a bit to rest by the fire in the evenings. She loves it, and the kids love it even more . . . I thought I would post a few of the sweet pictures and a video from one of her visits with us.

Doggy kisses!

Awww, we have a black lab named CJ that we've also had since we got married. She is about 10 yrs. old and graying (looks a lot like your Bailey). We also have her daughter, named Bailey, who is a yellow lab. I hope your Bailey will be around a little while longer.
