Thank you SO much to everyone who followed along my week-long tribute to the sweetest Norwegian Elkhound ever to live. Your comments and shared thoughts mean more than I could ever tell you. I know Bailey feels the same.
I looked up a few books recommended for those who've recently experienced pet loss and found two that I really like. I would love to receive either of these from a friend :wink: but I know I'll keep them in mind should any of my doggie friends lose a buddy in the future.
For Every Dog an Angel by Christine Davis. Despite the cheesy cover art, I found the excerpts I read online to be very touching and sweet without inserting too much religion into the message.
Paw Prints in the Stars: A Farewell and Journal for a Beloved Pet by Warren Hanson. This book got great reviews and I love the idea of the inclusion of blank pages for personal photos and notes.
I successfully dried the rose the vet's office had delivered to me the day after Bailey died, and it has been added to his memorial shelf in my bedroom. I also added his collar, name tag, paw print and a tiny framed photo. I feel it's complete now and absolutely perfect.
Again, thank you so much for your support! I promise that barring any unforeseen tragedy :knocks on wood: my next post will not be a tear jerker!

Two questions for you...
Do you think you will get another puppy at some point?
Did Bailey's passing have anything to do with the "Joint Rescue"?
Now we need some Zoe pics! :)
we have for every dog and angel and we all have Dogs In Heaven by Cynthia rylant.. both are so sweet and make me weeoy. as I type, Casey is busy making me aware that he needs attention. Better run!!
Love to you and Zoe and our thoughts are still with Bailey!!
Your Bailey memorial sounds wonderful - send me a pic if you get a chance. From what I've read and heard, you've got good friends and a great vet down there. I'm so happy Zoe is in such good hands!
