Mom set up an appointment to have Bailey put to sleep on Friday morning. I know it's for the best, but what upsets me the most is how much she means to my parents. We've had Bailey for 13 years, and she's truly been a saving grace when my family experienced some very tough times. I'm sure some of you can't relate to the healing power of pets, but know that losing Bailey (for my parents) will be like losing a child.
