Thanks. It does feel like a lot of things are happening all at once, but I know it will all work out okay eventually. A day at a time, right?

I am going to start on a scrapbook for him. I had planned on pictures, but you just gave me the idea to add thoughts and stories to it. Some of the pictures are Bailey with my parents. They were always telling stories about him - he was like a second child to them. Anyway, I'm liking the idea of writing out some of the stories so I don't forget them. :)

Rest in peace Bailey.
I really do believe when we go to the great beyond our dogs are the first ones to greet us.
Take care.

We are a good little support group here when you need us J-Lo :)
He's in a better place now, no more pain or suffering, just nice long walks through the woods with your parents.
I bet they are glad to see him again :)

Tribute To A Best Friend
Sunlight streams through window pane
Unto a spot on the floor...
Then I remember,
It's where you used to lie,
But now you are no more.
Our feet walk down a hall of carpet,
And muted echoes sound...
Then I remember,
It's where your paws would joyously abound.
A voice is heard along the road,
And up beyond the hill,
Then I remember it can't be yours...
Your golden voice is still.
But I'll take that vacant spot of floor
And empty muted hall
And lay them with the absent voice
And unused dish along the wall.
I'll wrap these treasured memorials
In a blanket of my love
And keep them for my best friend
Until we meet above.

You guys are a great support group. I feel like I found you all just in time. :)
Artlady - That was a sweet poem. I felt like it was written for Bailey, and it will be a nice addition to my album. Thanks.
I have been in here reading, just waiting for the sun to come up. Now that it's light, I'm taking a run. That always starts my day off so well, and then it's a day of college football. I'm going to sort pictures for the album as I watch the games.
Thanks for all of your help!

One tip for your album -
Don't glue the photos down and always leave a few spaces.
I know with mine I found it relaxing to rearrange it from time to time and also to add some more writing at a later date ;)

One of the best poems I've ever read about euthanasia.
If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this -- the last battle -- can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes,
Please, let me go.
Take me where, to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close -- we two -- these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

That brought tears to my eyes, but it's exactly the way I felt about it. I knew it was the humane thing to do.
PS - What's with this spreading the reputation, stuff. I keep getting that message. How much do I need to spread myself?

I think you have to have 5 reps to someone else before you can rep the same person again. Not sure though.
They do it that way so you can't continuously rep the same person, good or bad. ;)
