Start of School Sparks Memories


School started this week 
and the kids and school buses are out and about

Seeing the school bus go up our road 
 Mom couldn't help thinking of Mr Bailey.
For most of his life, 
every weekday morning when he heard the school bus
 he would race outside to bark at it as it went up the road.
That memory made Mom smile

Mom said I could share some of my first memories of Bailey from when I first joined the PugRanch almost 4 yrs ago


I looked up to Bailey


and I sensed right away 


that I needed to treat him with gentle respect


so he did not mind sharing a bed with me


I sure loved my big brother Bailey


We are the PugRanch Kids
Hazel & Mabel

  16. I think Joe Biden said at John McCain funeral "When a smile comes to your lips before a tear to your eye" well you know the good memories will carry you. It was good seeing Bailey again, we shall always remember him as the one who could push the baby stroller.
