LOOOOOOOK at this ADORABLE puppy.....huge, huge, huge puppy!! Regarless of her name, she is DEFINITELY your Saving Grace, that's for sure!!!
(Speaing ofk names...if you keep with the Bs...Bonnie'sidea of Billie is so cute. Y ou could give her a middle name....Billie Grace!
You have your hands full Tracy.....and that's exactly what Bailey knew you and Bella needed...hubbh and McKenzie too!!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Maggie weighed 5.5 pounds at 14 weeks.
She is BEAUTIFUL!!! And you are absolutely insane for getting a puppy 
. But it is the same insane we are all plagued with!

Tri-pug Maggie survived a 4.5 year mast cell cancer battle only to be lost to oral melanoma.

Tracy,
Here are a few names I have come up with......
First, the name I already gave, Billie, is of a German derivative, meaning "strong-willed", "beautiful", and "determined guardian"
.......Anna, another German nickname meaning "full of grace"
.......Ellie, an Irish name meaning "bringer of light"
.......Keva, Irish, meaning "beautiful, lovable, and gentle"
....and Shana/Shay, Irish, meaning "God's gracious gift"
Yeah, I have extra time on my hands occasionally, lol !! I love to research names anyway, so these are a few I came up with........
Love,
Bonnie & Angel Polly
Awwww. Bonnie...great names....and the meanings....love that part!!! In our world, there is NO better way to "spend time" than doing something dog related!!

Awwwww Tracy,
I have happy tears over here for you. The puppy is just gorgeous!!! Bailey definitely knew what she was doing when she came across the special babe just for you.
I LOVE her colorings...just beautiful!! Bringing a pup into the home does help with the healing of grief. I know because we brought Lucian (5 months old now) into our home around a month after we had to let Leland go. My husband and I still shed tears because we miss our Leland but with Lucian in the home he does bring smiles to our faces with his "puppy antics". And the house is not so quiet like it was...we only have one dog at a time.
Well, I'm so happy for you and I have no doubt your new little one will help you with all the sadness you've been dealing with.
HUGS to you and your family and the new little pup!!
And my vote is for the name Grace!!

May you finally be healthy and running free at the Rainbow Bridge. Until we meet again my sweet boy!
YAY! You found your new baby! She is gonna be soooo spoiled rotten!
It's wonderful to hear you happy again. And yes it is OK to be happy again. Doesn't mean you don't love & miss Bailey, just means you can now give all that love to another who needs you. Can't think of a better way to honor Bailey.
Looking forward to seeing growing up pics (takes lots; it happens so fast!)

Our awesome Golden Boy was diagnosed for OSA in April 2014 in the proximal humerus, front-leg amp on 05/20/2014. Finished chemo (Carbo6) on 07/10/2014. Ongoing treatment: acupuncture + K-9 Immunity Plus ( 3chews) and home-cooked no-grain diet. Stopped Apocaps because of liver issues. Liver issues: controlling altered enzymes with SAM-e and Milk Thistle. October 17: started having seizures. Taking fenobarbital for seizures. April 18: started prednisone.
Aw so cute - congratulations on the new family member! She is a stunner! Looks like she's already fallen in love with you <3
If you're going with B names, I think she looks like a Blu! I love the name Billie though! Some of the female names on my favorites list are Lulu, Nova, Jinx, and...I've always wanted a dog named Stella so that when I scream her name it sounds like Marlon Brando in a Street Car Named Desire.
SSSTTTEEELLLLLLAAAA!!!!
Like the Stellar vibe too!

I look at her and I see an Abigail......
I like Gracie too..
lol on the STEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAA!!!!! that's why we called Wilson.. Wilson.. So I can Scream WILLLLLSOOOOONNNNNNNNNN just like Tom Hanks on Castaway!!
Christine... with Franklin in her heart♥
Franklin, he was the Happiest Dog on Three Legs! Diagnosed 09/26/2012 with Osteosarcoma, amputated 12/4/2012. Had a wonderful 5 1/2 months painfree until he ran for the Bridge on 5/15/2013. Always in my heart, and always a guardian angel of my pack... You can follow his Tripawd Adventures, before and after, in my blog, Frank'n'Farter!
I LOVED CASTAWAYS!!!

Congrats on the most adorable dane puppy I have ever seen. 
Not sure if you picked out a name for her yet but how about Cayla? It is of Irish and Gaelic origin and means "Slim and Fair."
Tracy, Misha, Bella, Neil, Mackenzie- PLEASE stop the suspense we need updates come on. How is everyone doing??? Did you change Misha's name? Did Mackenzie get the job? Need the 411 and PICTURES. Come on Tracy! Baileys tribe is not done here.
OK I APOLOGIZE FOR THE LONG DELAY AND FOR BEING AWAY...
I get goose bumps when I read the posts and I cry when I first sign on because I miss my Bailey Girl so much. Sometimes I try to sign on and walk away. It's the support here that gets me through my toughest times and I really appreciate all of you. Well the last time I was on I asked for baby names and the babies registered name is....
Amazing Grace a/k/a Gracie or as Mackenzie calls her Gracie Lou...
But I love all the names... I like Stella and all of them... yes I am crazy for getting a puppy but I definitely needed her and she loves me dearly...
So I want to show you a few pictures of her... she had a photo session for free (a friend has a nice camera, that's all!)
CUTENESSSSSS ALERTTTTTT! (I'm her mommy what would you expect!)
I WANT EVERYONE TO MEET GRACIE! (She is a Stellllllllllllllaaaaaaa thought!)
(who does she look like... she has a tiny heart on the very top of her head!)
Well what do you think? There's 42 pictures total so I'm posting a link for anyone who wants to go look at them they are more than welcome to. I didn't want to over do it because I have to post Halloween night pictures... it was just Bella, Gracie and me at home... http://pjost.ze.....p418176237
On the main page she is the last album (not under pets just the home page) at the very bottom. Click on her and then the password type in: Madigan
Love and tight hugs!
Tracy and Angel Bailey Girl, Bella and Gracie
P.S. Whew... having a baby around again is insane... lol but it helps. I still go out and visit Bailey Girl and say a prayer for her. There's is no one else that will ever take her place. (Plus Bailey was a angel right from the start... Gracie let's just say at 15 weeks she is getting comfortable with her forever home and become a stinker... SHE LOVES SHOES LAURIE!
