Bailey's ashes came home

Baileys' ashes were ready to pick up on December 19. Picked her up from Pet Traditions in Wichita, then off to New Age Center in Derby to pick up a small dog angel. I'll eventually make a table for Bailey.

Teeth brushing

Little things like these, remind of your lost loved one so much. Orange one is Bailey's and pink/blue one is Keeghan's.

She was such a good girl to let me brush her teeth everyday.

Last Day in September

One of my favorite picture of Bailey (though it's just her tail there) from September, 2013. She was only 4 years old here. 

I was about to capture the beautiful sunset light via blooming grass, but at the same time Bailey crossed in front of me, resulting her tail in the image. I kind of like it so left it as is.

Angel Bailey

Things work in strange way sometime. I bought this during the Summer for the backyard where my herb garden is. Had no idea back then, that I'll be using this for Bailey.

Bailey Playlist on Spotify

There may be more songs coming, but I created a playlist on Spotify called "Bailey". It may sound silly but I truly believe she's using this medium to send messages to me.

Bailey and Spotify

This may sound crazy, but songs with meaningful titles relative to me this week coming up in certain ways on my Spotify. Album above called "All Becomes Okay". 

Are we in Heaven?

Yesterday's walk was very unreal. I felt such comfort and peace, almost feeling like Bailey was with us. Don't think I'm crazy, but she probably just made it to the Rainbow Bridge and Heaven at that moment. I felt like we are experiencing that moment with her.

Think we'll be okay, right Keeghan?

Still taking Bailey for walking (in Spirit)

It gives me comfort to take Bailey for walk, even just her trusty Flexilead and her harness in my pocket. I'll probably continue this for a week at least. All the sudden, my walking time became extremely easier...

Bailey?

Look who came by when Alice and I were about to leave College Hill Coffee? I couldn't believe how much she resemble Bailey, just she's a Great Dane mix so much taller and leaner than Bailey.

Embrace Life

I'm posting the songs that I believe Bailey is sending me on my Spotify. I know, it sounds silly but too much coincidence... 

Fall portrait

This was taken on November 14, 2017, basically exactly one month prior to Bailey's passing. Last few months without knowing the reason why, I wanted to document Bailey more than usual. I felt like more need than want. They looked so cute, and all the fallen leaves on the ground made it perfect portrait even though I took this with my phone, Pixel 2.

Grass sprinkle

There she is, go out in the backyard to rollover on the grass pieces, making sure she's all covered, then come back in the house and jump on the couch. No matter how many times I vacuum, can't keep up with it!

Bailey's song

Bailey's message keeps coming. It looks like I'll have to make her playlist on Spotify. 

Bailey sent me message on Spotify

I listened to Spotify a lot. And my doggies listen to music a lot because of me. I also play piano and guitar, but mostly piano. Bailey absolutely LOVE music, especially piano. She used to come to my piano, next to my feet and listened to me playing so relaxed and at peace. After she passed, I finally brought to myself to listening to my Discover Weekly for this week. When I like a song, I'll open Spotify to add song to my own playlist. There it is, "Remember Me". This song came up so many times.

Victor's flowers

Her human bro, William's friend, Victor, sent these beautiful flowers to William for Bailey. Somehow he chose such a perfect flowers he without knowing Bailey in person. The color pink is the color I always associated with Bailey. She was such a girlie little girl to me.

Scaredy cat, Bailley

On November 7 & 8, we had roofers came over to replace our roof. She was SO SCARED!! She's already scaredy cat, so with all that loud noises, she was frightened! She stayed most of the time under my desk, between my feet, trembling.

Monday, 2 days prior to her passing

We had a very nice and peaceful walk at the Fairgrounds just 2 days prior to Bailey's passing. Here, Bailey and Keeghan enjoying watching the river, thinking how they wish they can jump in!

2017

Like her human bro, William said above, there was another life taken away from us in 2017. He's William's best friend from the childhood, and he was like our third son to us. Scott, you were so young too and so kind, make sure to find Bailey for us.

Viewing

Just as our precious Schatz, she was going to be cremated at a place called Pet Traditions in Wichita, KS. It used to be called Pet Angels when Schatz passed away. I prefer that name better, but once again, we received an excellent and caring service.

She was beautiful in life and death, as she always had been.

Bailey passed away

On December 13, 2017, at 11 pm sharp, Bailey passed away.

She just collapsed and died in few minutes, without suffering, and on my lap, in the backyard at home where she loved so much. She was only 8.5 years old.

She was happy, rambunctious, and so full of life just right up to her death. Her life was expired like a candle flame turned off.

Thank you, Bailey, for the beautiful life you provided to all of us.
