THE PASSING OF AN ERA 
THANK YOU ALL FOR REMINDING ME... YOU GIVE THEM A HAPPY LIFE AND WHEN IT IS OVER, IT IS OVER. 

BAILEY FINALLY SAID TO ME "I HAVE HAD IT, I REALLY NEED TO SLEEP NOW."  SO SHE HAS GONE TO THE RAINBOW BRIDGE ALONG WITH OTHER GREAT ANIMALS WITH WHOM  I HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF SHARING MY LIFE.  IT MUST BE GETTING CROWDED UP THERE....  
SHE IS OUT NEXT TO THE POND WITH TIFFANY..ANOTHER GREAT...

SO  MANY MEMORIES- BUT THE ONE THAT STICKS OUT WAS BAILEY' S  LAST TRIP WITH THE BASKET..SHE COULD BARELY WALK, BUT HER SENSE OF HUMOR CAME THRU  WITH "LOOK EVERYBODY  I CAN STILL GIVE HER THE DANM BASKET" AS SHE TOSSED IT AT MY FEET.

I NEVER WANTED TO TRY AND GET ANY OTHER DOG TO CARRY THE BASKET WHEN SHE WAS AROUND, BECAUSE I KNEW THAT WOULD HURT HER FEELINGS...
BUT I CAN START IT NOW.  AND I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO WORK WITH...BENTLEY?  IF YOU CAN'T EAT IT OR MAKE PUPPIES , HE ISN'T MUCH INTERESTED...  TUMBLER IS EVEN TERRIFIED OF THE YUPPY PUPPY- SO IT IS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE..  BAILEY TRUSTED ME--  LONG AGO SHE LEARNED TO LEARN......I CAN'T SAY ANY OF THE CURRENT BUNCH  ARE LIKE THAT...  THEY ALL HAVE ANOTHER AGENDA --- SO I WILL CONTINUE TO SEARCH THE BUNCH...

LEARNING TO LEARN IS THE HARD PART. 

BUT THE SEARCH BEGINS...
