Hi Bailey! Happy Dog of the Day to you, sweetheart! What a beautiful, beautiful boy you are, Bailey, in body and in heart. The loss of a beloved furkid is one of the hardest, most painful things we pet parents have to face, and so my heart goes out to your family on the tragic passing of your beloved predecessor. No dog can ever replace another, rather the new pup claims his/her very own special place in our hearts, just as you have in your humans' hearts. Your family many not have thought they wanted another doggie, at first, but as your human says, they had so much love to give! I'm heartbroken to hear how very ill your daddy is, but how blessed he is to have you, his faithful and loving best buddy there by his side, bringing so much peace, comfort and happiness to his days. You truly are a furry angel, Bailey, heaven sent, and I hope and pray that you and your daddy will know many, many more happy, love filled days together. Enjoy your much deserved day of honor, sweetheart, cuddling with your daddy, playing with all of your cherished toys, being loved and pampered to pieces! Lots of love, cuddles and kisses to you precious Bailey!
