I barely picked up my camera this month. Which is not so bad, considering I barely put it down the last couple of months. Ebbs and flows, ebbs and flows.
As some of you may already know, my little Bailey bear was diagnosed with congestive heart failure this past week. It was unexpected and I’m in the process of getting him the best treatment possible. I need my little guy to stick around as long as he comfortably can. It gives me hope that he is doing well otherwise and remains in good spirits.

This is the face he gives when he doesn’t want me to take pictures of him.

Bailey is the cutest and he looks so good. You and Bailey are in my thoughts and prayers and I also want him to be with you a very long time. I am sure you will do everything humanly possible for him.🙏🙏
I am taking him to see a holistic vet tomorrow, per your recommendation. Bailey will be well taken care of and showered with even more love than usual.
Let me know what they say. Integrating western and eastern medicine can do wonders.
Ah Patty-I know this diagnosis is hard on you. Bailey is so adorable and I am a major pet lover, as you know. Thoughts are with you my friend. Gentle hugs to Bailey Bear!!! xo Cheryl
Thanks, Cheryl. He is my baby boy. We’ve been together for ten years. I’d like to add as much time to that as possible.
I’m so sorry to hear about Bailey’s diagnosis 😦 He is such a sweet little dog! Hoping he will be able to be with you much longer with some good treatment and care!
Thanks, Nancy. We are hoping really hard over here.
It’s hard for all of us but I’m sure Bailey will stay healthy and be with us much longer. Be optimistic and be strong for him Bo! Love you and Bailey very much.
We love you, grandma. Bailey is waiting to see you on Saturday!
Patty- I am so sorry about Bailey’s diagnosis. I am hopeful the holistic vet will help give Bailey a longer healthier life. He is the cutest little dog and has brought so much joy to you and your family. Stay positive.
Thanks, Denise. He is the best little guy ever.
Oh Patty, so sorry to hear about Bailey. Having been through that experience of diagnosis and then the decisions about long-term care, I know it hurts! Bailey is so lucky to have someone who will give him the best possible time ahead of him with good care. Lots of love to you and your fur baby!
I’ve been thinking about you and your fur baby lately. My heart goes out to you. Bailey and I appreciate the love and we are sending lots back your way.
Hang tough little B!
Oh, I am so sorry to hear about your little guy, Patty. It is so hard when our canine or feline family members get sick. I will send lots of positive thoughts your way. All the best to you both.
Awww Patty, my heart and prayers with Bailey and you ❤
Oh, how I miss Bailey!
I am taking him to work during lunch today. 😊
Patty, I’m so sorry to hear of Bailey’s illness. Sending you and your cutie Bailey a lot of good healing vibes!
Awww hugs Patty! Will Keep you and Bailey in my prayers dear! He is such a star.. ⭐️
Sorry to hear about Bailey’s health. Our older yellow lab had a stroke and she could not get up or walk any more – we had to end her suffering. But it sounds like you can help Bailey and give him some very productive time. He’s too ornery anyways to leave his “mommy” LOL! Sending lots of hugs and prayers to you and Bailey!
What a cutie and great pictures! I hope he is doing well. Best of luck. I stumbled across your blog and I love it. I look forward to following.
