Okay my little late night friend...just went over to register again...but a "required field" is my password...even I know you aren't supposed to give out passwords!!!
What am I missing here? I bet Bailey and Happy zHannah are laughing their butts off at my incompetence!
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!
Happy to vote!!
Deb and Angel Lexie* Diagnosed at age 13. Tried radiation first; wish we had amputated upon diagnosis (even with lung mets). Joined Club Tripawd April 2014 & Lexie loved life on 3 legs! Advice: Start physical therapy as soon as your vet clears it, especially hydrotherapy if available :-) See Lexie pics here.
Sally,
You just sign in with whatever email and password you gave them. The only catch and this is OK we can still do this for my Bailey. SHE's number 10 out of 677 dogs right now we have until the 7th. They only give you 5 FREE VOTES SOooo if you go back and sign back in today, tomorrow... you have to purchase a (1) vote to vote for her. This is a fundraiser for Stray Rescue a great rescue organization. I gave them a donation but do not expect anyone else to on here, I know many are paying high vet bills...
SO if you register just give Bailey your 5 Free votes if you would like. It will tell you at the top how many votes you have left.
Also, if you have more than one email, just use a different name in the PUBLIC NAME BOX (like Hannah4evr) because they only except so many, John's, Neil's, Tracy's, etc.
Thanks everyone for all your help. I'm sure she wouldn't be where she's at if it wasn't for my Tri-pawd family. It's cold but I'm not feeling up to going out on a beautiful fall day... I did go down in my pjs to see Bailey and prayed for her and my other pups, shed some tears and decided I was on a mission today... this is coping for me right now.
Sally, I have read that poem over and over and I needed that release to cry hard because I tried so hard not to totally break for Bailey... her towels that were just washed (well the top one) was soaked as I sat in the bathroom and cried.
Bella is sad she smelled the carpet where Bailey's bed was and she looked and Neil last night and barked loudly like three times... Neil just looked at me and he goes she doesn't get it. She's been carrying around Bailey's purple rhino and shoving her nose in it. God love her.
I love this web site and all the fighters and Angels above. Keep the FAITH and NEVER GIVE UP!
Here's the link again.

Such a privilege to vote for you sweet girl!! And I posted a comment too!

Thank you sweeties! Bailey looks like she is #5 spot if you go to dogs and go to the most like drop down at the top of the page right! I really appreciate everyone helping me.
Today is that elephant is on my chest again... I sat in the spot today where we sat her favorite spot and cried and just zoned out. It's really hard to breath.
You guys are by backbone and have been through this whole journey with my beloved Bailey Girl.
I'm worried about Bella, she is really acting sad and smelling thinks and looking at us with those gorilla eyes, as if she's asking us where she is. We buried her with her bed in her special box and she is constantly smelling that spot where her bed was. I just keep telling her it's ok and that we love her so much. She's getting all kinds of treats we just can't help it.
HUGS please.
Tracy and Bailey Girl
Baileys at #3 AND the contest ends tomorrow at midnight.
Please help me get her to the top.
WE HAVE UNTIL TOMORROW AT MIDNIGHT TO DO THIS... I REALLY MISS HER AND I FIND MYSELF LOOKING AT THE CLOCK FOR MEDS AND MEAL TIME... tears forever my heart is broken.

It also said, I think, that votes were just part of what would determine the winner. Did I read that right?
Anyway, if so, filling out the comment section may help too. I mean, once voters read about this courageous beauty and the love and devotion of her humans...and the miracle rally she gave us all for one more victory to celebrate for her....how could you NOT call her a winner!!!
No matter what Tracy, you have gotten her story out and Bailey has touched more lives than you could ever know!!! Bailey is " keeping on keeping on"...just from the Bridge!
And yes Tracy, the 24/7 care, the rituals, the routine, the worrying about them before you go to bed and the anxiety when you wake up hoping everything is okay...and it's gone...the rug has been taken out from under you...your world stopped...your days have no meaning because everything was 24/7 Bailey.
You WILL get through this.....you WILL! You have Bailey's strength carrying you through this....and that's a whole lot of strength!!!
Love to you!
Sally and Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle too!

OK LAST DITCH EFFORT ~ THIS ALL ENDS TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT ~ BAILEY WAS IN THIRD.
I know a lot of you have voted and I deeply appreciate it. It was something I just wanted to do for her and I did my best and so did everyone on here. It's not over yet!!! Votes are cheap! <3
The St. Louis Post Dispatch picks second and third place, first is determined only by votes.
