Bailey Bells!!

Kashyn & Bailey 2006


Today we lost one of our family members. We had to put Bailey Bells to sleep this morning. She got really sick around Valentine's day but they said she'd probably be ok. Our best guess is she's about 14 years old so I didn't think she would and I was right. Since then she had lost 2 lbs which is alot when you only weigh 10lbs and used to weigh about 15. She got to where she couldn't hold herself up and just laid there looking miserable. So today Kermit took her in. She went peacefully. Everyone seems to be handling it ok, but Shaden is missing her. He barked at me a whole lot when I got home. And he's kinda moping. Mitizi is here tonight. It made Kashyn feel better for Shaden to have a friend. :o)

Mylieh & Bailey on Valentine's Day 2009

So that tells you where I have been lately since I haven't been posting. Plus we had sickness round 2 in our house. I got the bug Mylieh had and Kashyn got my strep. We are hoping all is done now. In addition to that I have been planning Kashyn's birthday party sleepover which is this Friday. I wish I could somehow shed some of my birthday natzi-ness. I wish I could be one of those people happy to have cake and presents for my kids but somewhere along the way I got a wire wired wrong and birthday means big time plans and ideas. :o) Oh well it's my thing that keeps me going I guess and keeps Kermit wondering what he got himself into when he married me. haha..

Also in my absence I had a birthday myself. Yep another year older. HAHA.. But this year 50lbs lighter so I am pretty happy about that!!

Well Happy Birthday! I am sorry for the loss of your Bailey. I think it is one of the most UNselfish things to do, to put down our animals when they are suffering. I think its cruel to keep them living if they hurting or sick and not getting better. I know its hard, but God can give you lots of peace about this, sounds like He already has =) (((hugs)))


Im a "party planning nazi" as well. I always get stressed out over every little detail and thats when the nazi surfaces! lol

Well I must say I'm not a party nazi!! LOL If I was I would be too stressed out!! I have the great ideas but not the talent that you have to put those out!! I always tell Alan you have the best parties and I wish I was that dedicated but I just don't! There is no way around it, I just don't! Either way, I'm very proud of you for the weight loss!! That is a VERY AWESOME thing! You are doing amazing!!
An again sorry about Bailey :(
