the occasionally neglected blog

when i went home for thanksgiving, my mom informed me that this little lady - bailey - had passed away a couple weeks earlier, and she just couldn’t bear to tell me over the phone.

i was, needless to say, a wreck. we saved her from being euthanized at manhattan animal control 14 years ago, and she was around for every major event or ordeal i’ve been through. over the past 5 years or so, she’s spent every day with my dad when he wasn’t in the hospital, 24/7. she was literally the best pet you could ask for - always well behaved, smart, and funny in her own way. home is a different place without her.

i know if you’re not a dog person, you may not really get it, and that’s fine. it can be a hard thing to explain. but, we all miss her like crazy.
