Bailee

We start the week off with very sad news… Our 2016 Alumna, Bailee, passed away unexpectedly from an inoperable liver tumor.  She lived a beautiful life with the DeRocher family, and her mom sent us this touching tribute to Bailee:

“Our hearts are broken!  We unexpectedly lost our sweet, crazy, Bailee, shortly before Christmas due to liver cancer. 

She came into the rescue 9 years ago as a bonded pair with Sophie (brown GSP).  We fell in love with both of them immediately and knew they could never be separated, nor would they ever leave our home and we became foster failures.  She loved to hunt in the backyard and would spend hours searching the pool and filters for frogs.  One of her favorite things was to roll the ball in the pool, bark at it until she got it or someone else did and do it all over again.  She loved to tear open her Christmas presents and destroy the toys.  But most of all she loved everyone and everything.  She was a typical Velcro GSP who could never be close enough to you. 

Run free my Sweet Girl! and get all those froggies and butterflies.  We miss you!”
