Bailey was the runt of his litter but very much the alpha. His original name was Mudpie because he loved to play in mud puddles. We brought him home on St. Particks day and our daughters renamed him Bailey. He was an important part of our family. He kept me company while my husband traveled and helped ease the pain of the empty nest has our children grew and left home.. He lead me to another career as a Canine Massage Therapist ( I studied to help ease his arthritis as he aged). Losing him has be difficult for us both.
