Bailey Arrives at Golden Pines
We all know that life doesn't stop, even if you want it too. Your heart keeps beating, and life somehow goes on. In the midst of Josh leaving us, another life was starting over. On Sunday we welcomed a new addition named Bailey.
Bailey is 12 years old, and she tragically and sadly lost her owner last week. She and several other dogs were left without a place to go. The fiancee of her former owner wanted Bailey to be happy, so she turned her over to the rescue.
Bailey was a little nervous and tentative at first. But our dogs liked her right away and she's got the approval of Todd.
It hasn't taken long for Bailey's big personality to emerge. She's affectionate, will bark when she wants something or for reasons that I can't quite figure out yet. As I write this, she's snoozing at my feet.
I think these are all good signs! I'm happy that this girl (with a spotted tongue) that once lived overseas for several years is settling in nicely in our little corner of Virginia.

Hello Bailey, I am sure she will be very happy at Golden Pines. It is great that she is fitting in so well with the other dogs so soon. Bailey looks like a real sweetie! Happy Thursday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteShe looks very sweet. It sounds like she's adjusting well too.
ReplyDeleteOh Kim, The needs of so many Goldens won't hardly let you have time to grieve. Another sweet pup to love and nurture in her new home. But, it in no way diminishes the remembrance of Josh. Sweet Josh helped to pave a way for others to be loved.

Hello and welcome, sweet Bailey. I hope Kim finds you a forever home soon. I think she will, you look and sound like a real love.
ReplyDeleteOh my, what a sanctuary place and person you are!
ReplyDeleteI often think, how would Snickers survive
if we were both both "gone" at the same time.
Welcome Bailey . . . enjoy your stay!
You have found a wonderful home!
Bailey's face tells of a love within, and to be by your feet, a sure sign of trust already. No time to grieve, Josh's memory will be filled with the love he gave and was given. I am sure he was given the hugest welcome ever at the bridge, as he chose his way to leave you. Peaceful, and where he was so loved and cared for ,...for all those years. Hugs.XXX
ReplyDeleteWelcome Bailey! You've come to the right place to get your happy back.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely dog. So glad she fits in. Here's to happiness to all.
ReplyDeleteAwww, such a great place for Bailey to come. She looks like a happy girl and we know she will be so content to be with you. Sorry for the loss of her owner.

Glad to hear you've had some good news with a newcomer to love. Life never stands still around your place does it?
ReplyDeleteBailey looks like such a sweet girl. She is so lucky to have found your home as a refuge when she needed it.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Bailey - she has a great home now.

Welcome beautiful girl. We are so sorry for her loss.
ReplyDeleteOh, It makes me feel so good that this senior is going to live out her life with love. Lucky lady.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Josh wouldn't begrudge you another orphaned pup because he wouldn't want you to be sad that he was gone.

What a beautiful girl, so glad she is there with you

She does look like one happy and lucky pup!
ReplyDeleteThe odd barking could just be that Bailey is still trying to figure out what happened.
ReplyDeleteIf Todd likes her, though, she will do well.
*Hugs* and God bless, Kim.
Your heart is so huge, Kim. You are the perfect human and Golden Pines is the perfect place for Bailey's heart to heal and for her to start this chapter of her life.
ReplyDeleteOverseas? What languages does she speak?
ReplyDeleteawww - welcome home Bailey - you're in the perfect place at Golden Pines with Kim and the pack. So glad to see she's safe
ReplyDeleteBig hugs to you and yours for all the love you give.
ReplyDeletea secret to life that you've known all along...
ReplyDeletethe more love we give the more there is to give. for human or animal really.
i'm so glad she got todd-approval immediately. that will make it an easier adjustment for her and all of you. like a little sign. xo♥
Hello, Bailey! She's beautiful. I'm glad that she's fitting in so nicely.
ReplyDeleteWell, Bailey is another beautiful girl who has fallen on her feet. If she has Todd's approval, then she will fit right in with the rest of the crew. It will probably take her a while to realise that, sadly, her owner isn't around any more.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Bailey! We're sorry you lost your person, but happy you landed where you did! Enjoy your new space and your new pack!
ReplyDeleteLicks,
Cobi
To get instant approval from a Scottie is quite the thing.
ReplyDeleteAs you say, life goes on, and it is lovely to see you have a newbie living at Golden Pines. She certainly looks a sweetheart :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome Bailey, cutie!
ReplyDeleteHi Bailey!!! xo
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Bailey! Such a lovely girl you are.
ReplyDeleteShe certainly looks a sweetheart :)

Bailey looks to be fitting right in with the rest of the pack. Getting Todd's approval was a great first step! How sad it is that her owner has passed. She must be very confused about where she is. Glad to see that she is cuddled up at your feet...she feels comfortable with you!
ReplyDeleteGood thing you don't live close by...I'd be tempted by this sweet old girl!
