Bailey is now with Clyde :(

[clydetheboosmom]

At 4:00 am, my baby girl Bailey came in from peeing outside and couldn't really breathe. She was laboring hard, and it was sudden. I rushed her to Tufts, and they stabilized her, but weren't really sure what was happening. They ran some tests, and nothing seemed obvious. After a couple of hours, she needed oxygen, but again, no one really knew why...she was oxygenating well, but just harsh breathing. They knew she had some laryngeal paralysis, so they discussed surgery with me. I came back into the hospital and was rushed to her...she was laboring and looked so sick. Doctor tells me that her platelets are really high, and they think she threw a blood clot in her lungs. She died peacefully after she knew I was there.

I feel that Clyde called her home. She was not the same after his death - she seemed to be declining rapidly. It was so sudden and rapid and random, that it is all I can think.

I will tell you Bailey's story, but not now. I must tell you that I am inconsolable at this moment, but I know you will support me.

Lynne,

My heart just broke in two...I am so so so sorry...I am in shock myself at the moment and the tears have pretty much wiped out my vision..

I'm holding the cup for both of us...(((((hugehugs))))

Love ya, Me

[Squirt's Mom]

Dear Lynne,

Bailey knew, honey, she knew but held on til you could be by her side. She wanted you to understand that you could do no more for her in this life, that your love had given her all the days it could and that it was time for her to go Home, too.

Norman and Clyde were waiting at The Bridge with open hearts as she flew toward them, a song of celebration on their lips. They are all so grateful to you for the love, tender care, and selfless devotion you showered on each of them. They know, and I know, what a beautiful person you are and how much bleaker and emptier their lives would have been without your love. Never doubt that, honey, never.

Still by your side, my friend, still by your side.......

Our deepest sympathies and abiding love,
Leslie, Squirt, Trinket, Brick, and our Angels, Ruby and Crystal

Oh my dear Lynne. I am here tapping on the keys, but I am there with you in spirit. You are not alone, because we are all there with you. I have typed and then deleted about a dozen lines by now, because everything I think to write is so inadequate to the pain that you've suffered this year. But please know, I am so sorry. I am so terribly sorry. Please do not leave us. Please come back and stay with us. You do not have to write anything other than your name and to tell us that you are here. Because we will stay with you both here and there, if that makes any sense at all. Just close your eyes and know that we are with you.

Sending so many hugs across the miles to you,
Marianne

Lynne,
I am so very sorry. Words cannot express the hurt we all feel for you. If we could help with the pain, you know we would take it away, but as you also know, this is the price of love. It is very steep, but worth it. Bailey and Clyde were both blessed to have found such a loving and caring mom. No better to be found.

Godspeed Bailey.

Holding you in my thoughts and prayers.
Hugs ~ Mary Ann

Oh Lynne, my dear sweet friend, I am so incredibly sorry that you are being hit with another loss. My arms are long but unfortunately not long enough to grab you and pull you into a great big bear hug. You have no idea how much I want to hug you right now and try to make the hurt go away. If only I had the power to do that. :(

I know that you know how much I care about you and that my thoughts and prayers are with you. We're all with you in spirit and we'll be here if you need anything.

Godspeed sweet Bailey.

I am so very sorry to hear about Bailey. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know this is a very difficult time for you.

[John II]

Oh Lynne,

I am sorry! I am sending healing thoughts, and comfort and strength your way. ((HUGS))

The only thing I ever wanted from this world was for it to be fair. But this is so unfair, and too much. Let us all help you to bear the loss of both your angels. You were the best mother they ever could have hoped for. ((HUGS))

Now they are together again. ((Tears & Hugs))

Rest in peace sweet Bailey, now together again, and romping the green fields with Clyde and all our Angels :'-(

Dear Lynne,

My heart and my thoughts are with you. Another angel has their wings.

Godspeed Bailey.

Dear Lynne,

I can't even see through the tears. They were like an "old couple," together for so long that they just couldn't live apart. Bailey just didn't want to be without Clyde. I am so sorry for your loss of Bailey, especially so close to Clyde. Sending lots of hugs and prayers your way.

So sorry to hear of Bailey's passing....very hard to lose them both so quickly. I am sure they both had wonderful lives, but as we all know, it's never long enough. My thoughts are with you.

Dearest Lynne,

I am so sorry to read this, and so saddened for you. I pray you find the strength to carry on and comfort you for the days to come.

Dearest Lynne,
My heart is breaking for you now. To lose both Clyde and Bailey so close together must bring unthinkable pain. All my love and healing prayers go out to you. But I can picture the happiness on their faces and in their hearts when Clyde met Bailey at the Rainbow Bridge. I am sure when I check the desert sky tonight, I will see 2 twinkling stars side by side.
Godspeed sweet angels and God bless.
Love & hugs,
Carrol

Hi -

I realized that I needed to write Bailey's story. After all, I wrote Clyde's, and they were always together.

Bailey was born in SW Florida, and she was all white with a half-brindle ear. She was adorable, and the runt of the litter. I thought she was all pit bull, but was surprised when I brought her back to Boston at 12 weeks old to find she was Am Staff and Lab.

I like to think I saved her from a hard life. Her grand dad, mom and dad were all bred to be "hog dogs" originally - used to catch boar and the like. I don't know...it just didn't sound good. So, packed up into an airplane she was and I accompanied her trip back to Boston.

Bailey was the only dog until she was about 1, then Clyde came along. She LOVED Clyde - she was always protecting him, teaching him things (how to do the stairs), and cleaning him. She gave up bones for him, food for him, growled at anyone that came near him until she was sure they were ok.

Bailey was a great, great dog. Snuggly, protective, low maintenance. Diagnosed with Cushings was a total surprise - she took the tests simply because Clyde had the test - and she came back positive and he came back negative! No symptoms. He eventually had his UTenn panel that told us he was atypical, but she went on Trilo. She was a wonderful companion dog. I loved Bailey, too. She was so, so special.

With the Cushings, she had some adjustment issues - she went Addisonian at least three times! - but she was running and healthy until her last day....and her heart was broken - so broken - when Clyde went where she couldn't go.

I miss them both so much, and individually so much. She was my girl. She was my protector. She was my heart. And now she is my angel.

Godspeed, Bailey. Mommie loves you.

[Dollydog]

Hi Lynne.....thanks for coming back to tell us Bailey's story and how she came to be at your place. She sounds like such a lovely dog....I'm glad they're together but sorry they're not with you. (((HUGS)))

[Casey's Mom]

Thank you for telling us Bailey's story Lynne. I was wondering how you were coping loosing the two of them so close together. What a bond they had and still have up there watching over you together.

Love and many hugs,

[Squirt's Mom]

Dear Lynne,

I have no doubt that Bailey is watching over you as she always did. She is together again with Clyde and Norman; they remain your protectors, showering you with their love and gratitude. They will always be with you.

Bailey is running free today, no pain, physical or emotional. She and Clyde are gleefully playing together, filling their time until their family is complete once again. Lynne, I know you will see her again, just as you will see Clyde and Norman again. The day you and I are called Home will indeed be a day of rejoicing for us; the loves of our lives will be there with open arms and bounding joy to receive us.

Thank you for sharing Bailey's story with us. I know how difficult that is to do. Remember, you are dearly loved and never alone.

Hugs,
Leslie

Lynne - I am so very sorry for your loss. Joyce

Oh Lynne,
I am so very saddened. Please always remember God Loves YOU and your sweet babies, now in heaven, and so do I.

Tight hugs now more than ever.
