Bayliss was sent to YOU for a reason! That’s why he made it known he is YOUR dog. Gracie is waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge. ~VOW ---

Me and the Grandwrex had a funeral for Gracie. We got a shoe box. (A Crocs shoebox, perfect because she chewed up a few Crocs in her day) I wrapped her up in an old baby blanket. I put her collar and her stuffed monkey in with her. The grandkids all put a picture they colored for her. I couldn’t not tell them she died. She was everywhere they were. As a grandmother nothing is more heart wrenching than watching 4 children sobbing over the death of a pet. Mr Wrekker dug a hole in my flower bed/pet graveyard. We buried her and we each said what we loved about Gracie. It was special. ---

Beck, I’m so sorry for your loss. You wrote a wonderful tribute to your little friend. Gracie will always be in your heart. Hug Bayliss for me and give him lots of love. ---

“The Grandwreks each put a picture in they colored for her.” I damn near lost it. What a beautiful way for the kids to say goodbye! ~VOW ---

When I went to the hospital in early March. mid-Daughter took over Gracie’s needs for me. I was so grateful to have her willing/able to do that for me. Mid–Daughter just couldn’t believe I did that every day to keep Grace alive. After I came home occasionally Gracie would go to her and put her paws on her ankle. That was her way to tell you “pick me up” mid-Daughter fell right in love with Grace. Yesterday she cried as hard as I did. ---
