My wife is scheduled to have our first baby in 8 days, which is why we havent got another yet. But man i wish my Bailey girl couldve been around to meet our baby. She was the best and i miss her a ton.

My wife and I got our first dog two years ago a few months before we found out she was pregnant.

Now we have a young daughter and an amazing dog that is approaching his 2nd birthday.

I was watching them play last night and she absolutely loves him and just giggles and laughs while he licks her feet. He is extremely protective of her which we love. I got to thinking how great it’s going to be for her to grow up with him and have a companion.

Then it hit me that she is going to have to go through that horrible process one day when he leaves and how sad she is going to be. I won’t lie I got a little emotional just sitting there thinking about it and then it hit me even harder that, yes she will be upset but I may be an even bigger wreck.

I realized I need to cherish those little moments and now I want to give both of them a big hug. May stop and get him a big bone on the way home.
