Oh Tracy,
You've got me crying over here...and I'm at work...
The pictures of Bailey are unbelievable...she's such a pretty girl! And you can see how truly loved she was by her pack. And the other furbabies are just as cute. All the pics didn't come through (has to do with being on my work computer) but the ones that did it's easy to see that Bailey was a special girl.
Happy Birthday Bailey!! You have an AWESOME party tomorrow at the Bridge with all your Tripawd brothers and sisters!!
Hang in there Tracy!

Sally, 19 pictures should be on the first post... then 3 on the second...
Never too many pictures! They are all beautiful! Happy Birthday! That was a GREAT task for today. HOORAY!
I agree, never too many pictures. How sweet! Those feet! You can sure tell how much love was shown to her. Happy Birthday Bailey Girl! Love, 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. Ty is a proud member of the " April Angels". Ty sent us Daryl, a Tripawd rescue in Sept. of 2016. Daryl is 5 +or -. 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. Zoe had a non skeletal Osteosarcoma removed in July 2015. No Chemo, she was at least 16. She is going strong although she is now completely blind. She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.
I'm seeing spots! Lots and lots of spots!
And gorgeous doggies too. Agreed, never too many photos, especially PUPPY photos! Look at her ginormous paws!!!
Happy birthday sweet Angel Bailey, there's gonna be some pawty in heaven that's for sure. We salute you now and always. xoxo

What a precious girl Bailey was.......love all the pics to celebrate her life and birthday with us.....thank you for sharing these. Hoping your heart will start healing soon, but we all know so well, that is definitely will take a lot of time......
Keeping you in my thoughts,
Bonnie & Angel Polly
Well, I keep coming on just to look at my pictures... and hanging on to all of you. Thanks for all the sweet posts. My two Dalmatians were rescue pups Pongo was tied to a tree and left and Domino was due to the fact they brought back 101 Dalmatians back out too many people were just buying them and not realizing that any dog needs love and lots of attention... any dog you get can be normal if you just work with it and put in the time and include them as family. That's always been my belief.
It means a lot to say it's ok to grieve because it's not going away yet.
I do have to tell you Bella will not let Neil out of her sight. They took her to PetSmart for the first time today and she was a perfect big girl. She even let people pet her and say wow is that a full Dalmatian lol.... Neil and Mackenzie said she checked out the Ferrets and even sniffed and walked away. So I'm not sure if she's looking for her sister because she hated car rides also and she would normally be barking her head off in a store to let everyone know she was there. She's getting special treatment and lots of loving.
Tomorrow is going to be especially hard. I received an email from Coldstone and it was for a free ice cream for Bailey Madigan... I better shower first and then go get it and sit in the backyard by her and eat it. 
Yeah showers are over rated and so is leaving the house! 
Love my family.
Love and Tight Hugs,
Tracy and Bailey

Yeah...showers may be over rated....but NOT ICE CREAM!!!!! You can never over rate ice cream!! That's a great idea to go and get that free ice cream cone....and take Bella with you!! Take lots of napkins and you and Bella eat that ice cream and toast Bailey!!!! Trust me, Bailey is on her fifth gallon of ice cream in anticipation of her birthday!!
I love that Bella enjoyed her little trip today! Dalmation????? A really, really gigantic Dalmation !!!!
Yes, kee p these pictures coming! And would love to hear more ab o ut Pongo and Domino! Oh, and that's a really good picture ofnyou and your daughter at Bailey's birthday lawty! Lovely over rated clean shiny hair!!!

Such beautiful photos of such a beautiful, beautiful girl!!! I love that you posted all of them--a special Happy Birthday to Bailey in heaven. She was so fortunate to have you as her mom, and you are certainly so blessed to have her as your furbaby!
Sending huge hugs,
Joan and Lily
Our beautiful Lily was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her front leg on 12/14/11 at age 8 and had amp on 12/16/11. She completed 5 rounds of carbo. She was so brave and kicked cancer's butt daily! She lived life fully for 4 years, 3 months, and 15 days after her amp. My angel is a warrior princess. I miss her so much.
Happy Birthday Bailey GIRL!!!
I'm sure Bailey is looking forward to sharing ice cream with her momma most of all today!! What a life she lived! 8 years? Pssh...probably felt more like 80 with all the love in that house!
And those giant paws...WHAT PERFECTION!
I hope you'll get your strength up enough to take Bella out on your own, sounds like she's behaving like a good girl though. So maybe sooner rather than later??? 
Lots of hugs today!
Rachel and Snaggliest Angel Theodore
