{Goodbye Hailey Ann}

Hailey Ann
August 17, 2006 – February 17, 2016
You are my sunshine…my only sunshine…you make me happy when skies are gray. You’ll never know how much I LOVE YOU…please don’t take my sunshine away.
Hailey went over the rainbow bridge this afternoon. I am so blessed for the support of Countryside Vet Clinic and their kindness for a dog that became so ill within a week. She was diagnosed with Stage 5 leukemia 5 days ago and it took her quickly.

I am blessed to have been her Mom for 9.5 years (today) and that she picked me to run to that faithful day in October 2006. She saw me through grieving for my father, a son who left for Iraq, and so many other things. Truly a “Mama’s girl” I will miss her leaning on me, sitting under me at the computer, going for walks, playing ball, and barking at the mailman/UPS/garbage like their was an invasion. A true protector of her pack. She will be missed so deeply. My heart is broken in a kazillion pieces…but I know that no money in the world would have saved her. Goodbye my sweet girl…until we meet again! Thank you for being the best dog!

    My heart breaks for you. We’ll all to soon be saying goodbye to one of our dogs. She’s 15 yrs. 8 months, blind and deaf but still
    manages to get around ok. Everyday we still have her is a gift.
    Much as it is a heartbreak when they pass on, it’s still worth all the love and faithfulness they give us during their lifetime.
    My condolences.

    Dear Nancy, she was such a sweet looking dog, and I know from many of your posts, a very loved friend.
    I know you must have many,many beautiful memories from the years with her, that you can drag forward when the pain is too hard.
    It must be extra hard because it went so quickly, but on the other hand ,she was not suffering for a long time, and that is comforting to know.
    I wish you all the strength possible, to live with your loss, my dear friend. Thinking of you Nancy.
    Love, Dorthe

    Oh dear Nancy , my heart breaks for you and the loss of your beloved Hailey Ann. I do know just how you feel so I am crying with you…
    although it is a shock taht she went to quickly it is also a blessing. I have had to make THE most difficult choices of putting my previous two dogs down so I am hoping and praying that when the time comes our beloved 14 yr old Annie will die peacefully in her sleep. Sending you lots of love and hugs from afar!

    We had to say goodbye to our “kitten”, Webster, of 16 1/2 years. We had him and his sister, Wren, since he was about 6 weeks old. We had a home euthanasia, and we couldn’t have hoped for anything better. It’s difficult to let our loved ones go, and pets are the ones who have been a constant in our lives. They roll with our moods and go with the flow when the people who surround us may not. They will be missed terribly when they’re gone. My heart goes out to you.

    Oh dear Nancy I am so very sorry that I am so late in offering my condolences of your recent loss of Hailey Ann. Words can’t describe how you heart feels but as the days go by you heart will slowly mend again having had the same experience with my poodle of 18 yrs Cherie. They are our constant companions and you know they take on our pain and suffering for us and you have had your share of that.
    Bless you friend as I think of you.
