We&#8217;ve had Bailey Bruce &#8211; also known as Bails, Bailer, Woofy and Barney since he was a tiny fluffy baileys coloured roly poly puppy. The first night he was with us, after listening to him cry for 40 minutes I got up and cuddled him on the couch so he didn&#8217;t wake everyone up. He nestled under my hair on my shoulder and we joked that he imprinted on me like a duck and thought I was his mother.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_show\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bailey embraced life with gusto. He loved people, he loved attention and he loved having his photo taken. He followed us everywhere and he was interested in everything. He&#8217;d always stop on walks to see what other people were doing and wanted to stick his nose into every nook and cranny. We joked that he was Ray&#8217;s Deputy &#8211; and Deputy Dawg was added to his list of credits and monikers.<\/p>\n<p>If we took too long getting organised, he&#8217;d often take the lead and start taking Mel for a walk. When he was bored, he&#8217;d chew his dog tags.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bailey&#8217;s favourite game was rolling around on his back with a pair of stockings between his paws that he&#8217;d stretch with his teeth as well and he was a serial sock thief. He always seemed to favour pink toys and we questioned his proclivities.<\/p>\n<p>He loved scotch finger biscuits and cheese &#8211; not necessarily together. He could be sound asleep upstairs but as soon as the cheese came out &#8211; he was there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">About 12 months ago when he started sleeping sitting up on the couch &#8211; we thought it was just another Bailey quirk &#8211; but it turned out he had developed heart problems. He never let this slow him down though and was still always at the forefront of the action.<\/p>\n<p>Bailey lived a massive life and he&#8217;ll leave a massive hole in our lives. Sleep now Fluffy Boy and catch up on all the rest and relaxation that you never had time for.<\/p>\n<p>We could never forget you Bails. Run free like you did on the beach at Normanville so many times. <span class=\"highlightNode\">Big<\/span> Love <span class=\"highlightNode\">Big Brown Bear<\/span>.
