My Story

This memorial website was created for Bailey Mack Brown who was on this Earth from around 1996-August 21 2011. Bailey was found starving and beaten going through trash cans in November 1998 when she was adopted by me and has been one of the three best things to ever happen to me. Bailey was so afraid for the first several months that she would be beaten for anything that she would drop on her belly and urinate then crawl to my feet and grovel. It took a lot of love and patience, but I had just been medically discharged from the Army from a serious accident so I was healing too and had all the time in the world for her. Bailey went from being a skinny, terrified, unwanted pup to being the extremly loved, pampered best friend ever. A year after finding each other Bailey and I moved from Kansas back home to Hampton, VA. She loved the water so our first week home my brother and I took her to a local private beach, she jumped into the surf for hours. Bailey was the dog everyone knew and adored. She rode in the car when I ran errands, we'd take walks along the beach tossing the tennis ball into the water. Families would come along, the kids always loved her and would throw the ball for her before they moved along. We'd come home to our appartment and a cat and she'd eat, watch tv on the couch with me, then curled up on the bed next to me each night. I went through many nights very depressed and scared, but knew if anything happened to me I couldn't ever be the one to leave her. I was in so much pain, both physical and emotional, but Bailey's smile and nonstop love kept me alive! A few years later we met her daddy who had never had any pet and was afraid of dogs from a young age. Needless to say he fell in love with her too. After a year of dating we got engaged and soon after moved into a townhouse. Her daddy would feed her steak from his plate, he would take her out to run off leash at night and they would do sprints back and forth next to the townhouse. Daddy had fallen in love with German shepherds because Bailey was such a beautiful soul and the perfect dog so he assumed all GSDs were so perfect. He wanted a puppy of his own and that's when Bailey's BIG little brother came into our lives. She was a natural dog mommy and Ares adored her, we hoped that Bailey's perfect nature would rub off, but Bailey really was one of a kind. Because of the abuse such a wonderful creature endurred at the hands of humans, I became very involved in dog rescue...German shepherd in particular. I had rescued many dogs in my life along with my mother who also inherited the dog rescue gene from her mother who I never met, but a German shepherd puppy named Fritz was rescued from certain death by her and ended up as my first dog until I was eight...Fritz was 17! Bailey and I worked with German shepherd rescue groups, she loved the attention and hanging out in public being adored by children, adults and dogs. I couldn't really temperment test other dogs by her because all dogs liked her, regardless if they were normally dog agressive. Max came along somewhere around 2004, Ares was a bully to the always shaking shepherd rescue...Bailey was her usual loving calming mommy dog. Brenna was 3mos old in Feb. 2006 when she was rescued from a gas chamber and she latched on to Bailey to the point that Bailey was getting annoyed, which was funny because Bailey didn't get annoyed. They became inseperable! Bailey and Brenna 10yrs apart look like litter mates! Life has been fun... always playmates around, special treats like sausage,bacon and steak from daddy mostly! Bailey was put on this earth to keep me going, she saved my life many times just being by my side with her unconditional love. Bailey was Heaven sent to rescue me and she did her job beautifully! She deserved a dignified end after all she had done for me so when her back legs finally gave out and the pain was to much for her to even get up on her own, I had to make the horrible decision to let my faithful best friend go. My angel is always watching over me!
