Bailey's Misadventures

I’m sorry I’ve been slow to update lately, I’m taking all the cuddle time with Bailey. And she starts to wine if I’m not paying attention. Hahaha.

She’s been taking her pain meds, and CBD, and continues to be her sassy self. Which I love because it’s back, but I’m also like okay what I hear you!! Lmao

She’s been pretty spoiled with gifts from mom this week, we got a new collar and leash. Plus the collar came with a matching bracelet for me. Which I’m stoked on because I think of her whenever I see it. I tried out Chewy to get her a refill of her glucosamine tablet and more Greenies pill pockets. LOVE. I ordered before noon on a Friday and it was delivered before noon that next day! Also, she did get some bully sticks. Then a couple days later we received more Canna-Pet CBD capsules and are trying their CBD biscuits also.

I can post links and the products if anyone is interested in trying them out for their pups.

Also, she was sooooo happy on Sunday.We had some crazy wind and it knocked over a tree in our backyard (no one was hurt and nothing was damaged) I let her out in the morning and I see the tree, she runs over and starts sniffing and brings some branches she likes. Just wait until you see the photos. OMG.

(there’s a video on her Insta, it’s too large to post here)

Hi everyone, we took the weekend to let everything sink in.

Here’s my sweet, sassy, vocal Bailey. While we are still hobbling around, she’s in really good spirits. And bit a more vocal than she has been in the recent weeks, so I take it that means the pain meds and CBD oil have been helping her with the pain.

She’s napping on the floor right now, but time to wake her up for some dinner

We have good news, and bad news.

The good is that Bailey is home, safe and sound with us.

The bad news is unfortunately the surgery did not happen. X rays were done prior to the surgery and very sadly the tumor has spread further into her shoulder since her last x ray on Dec 29th. Far too deep to successfully remove with the amputation. As a family, consul from the vet, and close friends we decided the best decision is to not to put her through surgery and recovery since we cannot successfully remove the tumor. As she is still her happy self, mobile and doing normal activities, we will continue to give her her very best life while we can. We will monitor her quality of life and when that declines we will make the tough decision. Until then she will be happy and loved. And with the help of pain medication and CBD oil we will help her with pain as much as we can.

This is not the turn out we were hoping for but we knew this was a possibility, it came sooner than we thought and we hate it. But we love her with everything and will continue to do so.

Thank you so much again, we love you. And I’m going to snuggle the crap out of this girl. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tomorrow is the day (or today depending on your time zone, it’s 9:30p here in Ca) Bailey is passed out, snoring on the floor, and I am watching The Greatest Showman in attempt to keep me calm. But, I’ll be grabbing a melatonin before bed.

There’s a lot of feelings.. nerves, excitement, anxiety, hope, relief, and a lot of haziness.

One thing I can say, I cannot believe the support and love from this community. It really is something else. We’ve had people we don’t know reach out or donate. Others have sent Bailey’s or my Instagram page to share with other survivors. My heart is so full with all the compassion.

Goodnight everybody, we will update you after surgery.

Goodnight!

Bailey and mama

Here is Bailey’s Instagram, we’re faster to post on there.

Well this weekend I mulled over the options and questions, while I was not busy petting Bailey to her deepest desires. After speaking with my family, my mom, brother, and my aunt. All are huge roles in Bay’s life. We, along with the vet, have decided for sure to go with amputation… It’s a scary time, but I will say I feel relieved knowing it’s on the schedule and she’ll be getting the treatment soon. We’re set for Thursday. This vet is great and was able to get us in right away.

I’ve spoken to a few dog mom’s who have had to go through this as well. It’s so nice to talk to someone who has been through this to help guide you and answer questions. That’s how I found out about this community also.

Bailey is currently sprawled out at my feet, hardcore sleeping.

Also, I’ve repurposed an old Instagram of mine and it’s now hers. You can check her out at @baileys.misadventures
