the BIG adventures of a little girl...

WELCOME to the world of Madeleine Mary, a charming little princess with a neverending smile, bright blue eyes, and an insatiable curiosity that keeps her parents constantly on their toes.

Good-bye, Sweet Friend...


After 12 years as a very special member of the family, Auntie Karen & Aunt Dan's amazing little Sheltie, Bailey, left us today. Everyone loved her dearly and misses her so.
When we went to their house, I always pointed to the door and said, "Bay-yee!" To me it was her house even though Aunt Dan, Auntie Karen, Star, and Colter all lived there. She was the dog that had the least interest in me, but she was my favorite. She seemed to like me better as I got a little bigger (click the "Bailey" label to see other posts/pictures of her).

A pet is a member of the family and we grieve that loss with deep emotion. I'm so sorry.

Thanks Maddie! Bailey was our sweet little Buddy. We will miss her tremendously. But we are happy you were able to spend some time with her. Love, Karen and Dan
