I am excited and have goose bumps to introduce my gift from Bailey. I seriously was not doing well and my next move was to be hospitalized... well check what came into my life and wants under my skin. Mu husband says he can't believe how she is only following me and trying to get in my skin... 
OK that is a tease.... I will post the when we meet pictures...
LOVE AND TIGHT HUGS and CHILL BUMPS!
Tracy, Bailey, Bella and Misha (name may change... she doesn't know it yet...)
P.S. Help me name her!
Oh Tracey...what a wonderful gift from Bailey!!!!
She is a beautiful girl - and clearly just what the doctor ordered for all of you.
Many hugs

Sally, she is 14 weeks and 100 percent euro great dane from CNW Danes.
She weighs 41 pounds at 14 weeks and before he left for work Friday he said you have been talking about that one dog... (Misha) I can't see paying $1200... but half of that worked.... so I wired money and called him and I said can we get her tomorrow (10-25) and he's like sure... he worked until 6am and we left at 9am to go get her yesterday... drove three hours talked for an hour and drove three hours home... we met in the middle she's from Ohio.
OMG she is so sweet, but her little stinker side is starting to show today... she goes outside to go potty which is awesome. Right now she is sleeping with her head on my lap as I type this... she was pulling the computer cord and grabbing my cell phone... lol Gotta love little kids!
and it was a just because my husband said we needed another fur baby for Bella and us
Ohhhhh Sally my heart feels better but I'm still crushed over Bailey.
Love you and everyone else for being here because I need you. I never in a million years thought she would be an angel so soon.
Thank you,
LOVE AND TIGHT HUGS,
Tracy, Bailey Girl, Bella, Misha (a/k/a let's name her!)

I could look at ner lictures all day long!!!!! And look! She TILTS her head!!! Oh yeah, Bailey knew exactly what she was doing!!!!
The loss is still immense....the sadness seemingly unbearable...but now you have smiles mixed in....you have joy mixed in.....you jave color in your grey days...and you certainly have a distraction!!!! An adorable distraction!!!
Your hubby is a really good guy! You keep him, okay?
Names! Oh boy! This will be fun!!!!! Do you want to keep with the "B" theme...that may be too confusing to keep straight.. She certainly is your saving Grzce, that's for sure!

Oh Tracy, she is ADORABLE! I actually like the name Misha. Makes me think of saying Miss ya! And she is a gift from Bailey. I always say to TY, I miss ya boy. Silly, I know. So happy for you. They don't ever replace, but they do fill some of the emptiness. Hugs from, Lori and TY
TY GUY, Best Black Lab ever! Diagnosed and had amp in January, 2014. Kicked MRSA's butt. Earned his angel wings on April 16, 2014. Run Free my boy and don't forget a shoe.

We are also Pawrents to Chandler, a Border Collie mix who is 15 and 1/2, Lucy, a Corgi who is 7, 2 minis, 2 horses, and a feisty cat named Zoe.

She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.
I am so happy for you, Bailey has sent you this little angel to keep you sane. She picked her out for you, you know. May she bring you bunches of happiness and may God protect her against any horrible disease. God Bless you and your new baby. Alina & Buddy

Oh, my !!! Ms. Bailey sent you a beauty !! So, so happy for you and your family! I love, love, love that sweet, precious face......
I don't know if you want to continue with the "B" theme names, like Sally asked, but I do have a "B" name........she looks like a Billie to me !! Bailey was "Ba", Bella is a "Be", and Billie will be a "Bi"...... Following the alphabetical vowels.....!! Of course, picking something entirely different is completely understandable......I'll have to think of another name to add to the list!!
Love,
