Remembering Mr Bailey - His Younger Years


If you have been lucky enough to have a pet with with you for 14 plus years you have a lot of memories to cherish. When I was looking through older photos, I realized that Bailey was almost 10 when we started the blog. 

So today I want to celebrate Bailey's life 
by sharing some memories from his younger years.


First day at the PugRanch.


I wasn't chewing on your slipper - honest!

  1. they say pugs are there to bring joy to this world... and that#s what your Bailey did ... if we saw his smile we had to smile back, no matter what... he was a magic pup... he made the people smile... and that's a wonderful thing... our world needs lots of smiles...

  2. I can imagine how much you must miss him. I'm sure nothing quite feels the same without him. They sure leave a hole in our lives when we lose them.

  6. What beautiful memories. One of my regrets with Bailey is I lost many of his early digital photos when my computer crashed and they couldn't retire the files.

  17. Isn't it just so comforting to have all those wonderful memories, albeit maybe a little hard to look at them right now. Mr. Bailey was such a cute little one. We are surprised at how dark his muzzle was. And it looks like he always enjoyed a comfy spot to rest:0

  26. Mr. Bailey...just as we expected you were the Patriarch of the Pug Ranch...a trait you rightly learned from all the precious huggy puggies who came before you.
    We loved this look back into your younger years and I know you mom is so happy she has these wonderful memories of you and your siblings.
    God speed to you my friend until we meet again.
