It wasn't meant to be...

[Romans Mom]

Bailey died. Our little baby Chihuahua. :cry: We just found out. :cry: He was so tiny and developing slow and never got over 10 ounces. He quit eating and they did everything they could do for the little guy. :cry: We're both very sad. :cry: The veterinarian said it was best for him that he died and went to Rainbow's Bridge. :cry: :cry2: :cry2: :cry2: :cry2: They've been so sad about this and couldn't bear to call us. I can understand. :cry:

Born Jan. 9, 2004
Died Feb. 28, 2004 :cry:
in Rainbow's Bridge

Love Terri
:wub: :flower:

[Zoeluvs2chis]

Oh My! I'm terribly sorry!
I am just reading this for the first time, Barb! It makes me so sad! I know you and your husband have so much love to give, and that Bailey feels your heaven-sent affection and care from above. I'm sorry he didn't receive your snuggles and laughter, but I know he is warmed by your love now in Rainbow Bridge.
Please know you have my deepest condolences! You're a wonderful lady (and friend). Let me know if there's anything I can do.
Love, and admiration for the woman you are, Zoe

[Bren75]

This thought came to me this morning as I was thinking about thisBailey and your family...... That sometimes G-d is so proud of his creation that takes them home early.... Not to hurt us but because the creation was too perfect too precious for this world!
Bailey was those things and becuase of that He gets the special priviledge of being with G-d now.... He gets to be G-ds lap warmer...
He knows we're sad for his early departure but He's keeping watch and sending his love from heaven to Earth in the rain.....
til we all get to go home and be together again.. :cry:

So next time it rains..... just know its only Bailey showering you with his love from Heaven! :cry2:

[chiwawagaga]

Barb,
I am so sorry to hear about Bailey...My heart goes out to you...Something like this is just heart breaking..I know in my heart the Bailey is happy and free at Rainbow Bridge...Sending you warm (((((HUGS)))) from us today....

[Romans Mom]

Barb,

please let me know if there is anything i can do for you...this is so sad..i can't believe it...it made me cry...again i'm so sorry...lots of love being sent your way :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

Thanks Sharon. I hope I don't get started crying again too. :oops: I hope I had my share yesterday, but I have a feeling I will again. :(

[Romans Mom]

Thanks so much Terri, These furbabies sure touch our hearts and lives. Roman and Sheba are getting lots of hugs today. :)

Hi Zoe, Thank you so much for your kinds words and friendship. :)

I am so sorry to hear about this. I just cannot belive it. I am so sorry. I know how much you were looking forward to it. What are your plans now? I know you will have to wait awhile for anything else!

[Anonymous]

if you want to adopt--- www.petfinder.com
lots and lots of pups to love!

[Anonymous]

just thought of something. :D

The breeder where I got rico and lola has some puppies. He has shipped them before! :lol:

He works for the airlines and he gets good rates. If you are interested, I can help you out. The puppies are not that expensive. I can go and film a mini movie and email or mail a disk to you. you know---help with your selection. It is not the same as you being there, but you know you will have a good helper! :lol:

Think about it :) :roll: :oops: :lol: :shock: :!:

[Romans Mom]

I am so sorry to hear about this. I just cannot belive it. I am so sorry. I know how much you were looking forward to it. What are your plans now? I know you will have to wait awhile for anything else!

Thank you so much Andrea. And thanks for your help and ideas to get another Chi pup. Our plans (I don't want to speak too soon again :roll: ) but we're going to PLAN on getting Bailey's brother, the other little Chi that we wanted when I wanted two. So it's the same family, only this pup's the bigger one, probably like Roman or a little smaller, and then the breeders also decided not to keep the female after all. Now I want them both again. LOL But again, 4 dogs and if they all needed medical care at the same time would be too much for us, darn it. LOL

So we thought hard about getting the female now instead, but the little boy is a long coat just like Roman. :wub: They've offered either to us. But I'll just wait to say anything definate, since the buyer who wanted this male just never called them back and they want us to have him. That's so nice of them.

[Anonymous]

sounds like it will work out after all :lol:
I say go for the girl...Roman needs to be in love! :oops: You wont regret it!

[Bren75]

I say go for the girl and name her Rayne (rain)! (for bailey :wink: )

[Luckys Mom]

oh Barb i hope you get Baileys brother or sister...that would be great...lots of love to you all...

[GreytChi]

I'm very sorry for your loss. :( Hugs to you!

[Romans Mom]

Thank you Alexadra. :wub:

[Romans Mom]

oh Barb i hope you get Baileys brother or sister...that would be great...lots of love to you all...

Thanks Sharon, Keep your fingers and paws crossed something like this works out now. Otherwise, I'll check out what Lola and Rico's Mom posted regarding flying a puppy.

[chiwawagaga]

I think a little girl named Rayne would be so cute....Keeping our paws crossed for all of you....

[ozi-chichi's]

Barb I hope you are able to get Bailey's brother or sister. We are keeping our fingers and paws crossed for you.

[Hercules Momma]

OMG.. Barb... I'm so sorry.. I had no idea.. I didn't even notice the previous pages on Rainbow Bridge. I noticed today that someone mentioned him on here and thought, that's odd.. Why are they mentioning Bailey here. .
I didn't even look at the previous pages. I am so sorry! I hope I didn't upset you by posting on the general pages a question about when were you getting Bailey.. I feel such saddeness for you.

Bailey will be in Heaven with all those other beloved pets that have gone before him. My deepest sympathy to you, Terry, Roman and Sheba.
We were all looking forward to the little angel. Now we know he'll always be protected above in Rainbows Bridge.

Our deepest sympathy and my apologies for asking about him. I didn't know.

[Zoeluvs2chis]

The tears are flooding my face! I am sooo sorry Barb. I know I already posted about your losing your angel, but it just hurts so much, I want to say a second time that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

[Anonymous]

:shock: :cry: OMG!! Barbara I didn't even know!! I am sooo sorry!! :cry: He was such a little cutie pie and I know how happy you were!!!

Lots of Wuv,

[aliciatobytaco]

I am so, so , so , SORRY Barbara!!!
I know there is another little baby chi out there for you and your family!!
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

[2Chiwawa]

I had not read any of these posts until today. I am so sorry for your loss.
Poor little Bailey. He looked like such a sweet little peanut. Please know he is in the safest place and sitting on the warmest lap he could ever experience and for all eternity.

I am very glad you are going to go ahead and get one of little Bailey's siblings. He would want you to and the love they will add to your home will be a comfort and then a new joy.

All our love,

[Amaze]

I know I already told you, but I am so sorry about your loss of angel Bailey!

That is super that the breeder has another puppy for you all, do you know if you will get the female or male?

LOL,
Lys

[LuKi]

Oh Barb, I am gald that you will have a brother or sister of Bailey and I am so sure that he would be very happy with that. :wub:

[Bev&Casey]

Oh Barb

I'm so sorry for you and Terry. I was checking in and found your encouraging words for my little spell of depression and clued in to your loss. I cannot believe it.
I am struck by what Bren said about Bailey becomming God's lap warmer and being too perfect for earth.
That is such a nice thought. Thanks Bren.
Barb and Terry, wow. Just not meant to be that's so sad!

Hi Renata, Thank you so much for caring. It's sure understandable why you thought it was odd Bailey was mentioned in Rainbows Brisge. I can hardly believe it myself still. It was a shock to us, for sure. And you're right, Baieley's in good company with all our other loved furbabies. He's the littlest angel there. :wub: Also, I'm very glad you aksed about Bailey since of lot of you have shared our excitement with us while we waited to bring him home. Friendship doesn't stop when the good things end as I have experienced here. :wub:

You're all so wonderful and I don't know what I'd do with out all of you. I never thought I'd need serious comforting for the death of Bailey because I always think I can do everything on my own, but this hasn't been the case here. I've needed all of you. Thank you! :wub:

[Romans Mom]

Hi Zoe, Thanks for joining me in another good cry fest. :cry:

Thanks for holding us up in prayer because it's really working. It's felt. :wub: You're right it does hurt, but that's the love. Who made the rules that said love had to hurt, darn it. :cry: :wub:

[Romans Mom]

:shock: :cry: OMG!! Barbara I didn't even know!! I am sooo sorry!! :cry: He was such a little cutie pie and I know how happy you were!!!

Lots of Wuv,

Thank you so much Crystal. He was a cutie and full of energy like Roman, but he's a little angel now. I was happy to get Bailey, but I have to still be happy for Sheba and any other baby who comes my way. :wub: Thanks for the kind words.

[Romans Mom]

I am so, so , so , SORRY Barbara!!!
I know there is another little baby chi out there for you and your family!!
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hi Alicia, Thank you so much. :wub: There is another furbaby waiting for us to shore out love with, and Bailey will never be forgot. Thanks so much for the prayers; They're working. :wub:

Thank you for your kind words, Faye. He was sweet. :wub: And you're so right-he's on a warm lap. It will be nice to have the connection of Bailey and the sibling and Roman. :wub:

[Romans Mom]

I know I already told you, but I am so sorry about your loss of angel Bailey!

That is super that the breeder has another puppy for you all, do you know if you will get the female or male?

Thank you so much Lys, and thank you for the email that explained what happened to Bailey while my head was still spinning. Your letter was well written and very comforting and brought me out of the panic I was feeling. :wub: As of now, I don't know if we'll choose the male or female. We want to check them both out real good again, since once we chose Bailey, we didn't look at the other male again. And we never had the female to choose from until now. :roll: We're going to go this next week and spend some time with the two. :wub:

[Romans Mom]

Oh Barb, I am gald that you will have a brother or sister of Bailey and I am so sure that he would be very happy with that. :wub:

Thank you Bev. Faye was right when she said Bailey's a little lap warmer for God. Someone needed our littlest angel more than us. :wub:
