The Wonder of life * It's a Boy * June 16, 2013

A little tiny huge amazing miracle has happened.
My cousin Tristan is born!
 I have got a little cousin.
My daddy Troy would be so proud and happy about little Tristan,
born on June 16, 2013.
He is the sunshine for Troy's sister and her hubby.

There are two things children should get from their parents:
Roots and Wings
(Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)

My little cousin decided to be born on a very important day:
Father's day in my home country.
Most importantly it was Tristan's great grandma Ceola's passing day
and his great grandpa Bullah's birthday.

His mommy said Ceola sent him from heaven on this day!
Remember Troy's ashes are burried in her grave.
 Life is what it is.
It took my daddy away from me,
but gave me a very cute cousin.
I cannot find words about the circle of life...

This posting is the first posting since November 2012,
when my daddy passed away.

MY FIRST POST AFTER MY DAD TROY'S PASSING * July 7, 2013

My dear loved ones,
it's a sunny Sunday, 
July 7, 2013

Today my daddy Heiko and I are posting for the first time 
since daddy Troy has passed on November 7, 2012.

It has been a lonely, empty and weird time...
We think of him every single day and
we are lucky that he and his love are with us wherever we go 
and whatever we do...

Whenever it gets too bad we just lay down and sleep a bit...

Do you know this amazing saying?

"Im Schlaf ist die Stille weniger laut"
which translates to
"While you are asleep silence is less noisy"


Many things have happend:
Daddy Heiko found a new job and started on January 7, 2013
at the airport taking care of passengers who need assistance.

We moved into a new appartment on March 1, 2013.
The staff of our appartment settlement here have been so nice 
and so extremely helpful in this difficult time. 
Our new place just feels like HOME.

We changed appartment with our roommate Sarah from Hamburg,
she is such a blessing for us.
She really likes me a lot, even takes me outside 
and dog sits me when my daddy Heiko needs her.
Daddy works shift, Sarah has office hours,
so I am not by myself for too long.

On June 16 my cute human cousin was born in New York,
the circle of life...

Thank you for all your support and your help.

A big hug from my daddy Heiko.

A sloppy kiss from me,
Yours Bailey Waggletail Smith-Voelker



Daddy Troy is flying home to New York * December 1, 2013

My daddy Heiko flew to New York on December 1, 2012 
with Daddy Troy's ashes.
 

At the airport in Frankfurt.
Sita, Heiko's amazing friend, got them both a ticket on Delta.
So on his last trip my daddy Troy flew business class.
He would have loved the yummie food and royal treatment.

Nobody but Heiko and I knew what was carried around in that black bag.

Troy's ashes were burried on Rosehill Cemetery
in Linden, New Jersey
in the plot of his beloved grand-ma Ceola Holland.

Please visit him, this is the plot number on Rosehill Cemetery: 50-50-118





Let's see what the future brings...

Franz from Germany * November 4, 2012

During the International Book Fair my daddies gave their apartment to
two beautiful friends Chiara and Teresa from Florence/Italy.
In the meantime my dads went to New York as you know.


I had the real pleasure to meet Chiara and together we got 'Franz - The Crow'.
She really needed something to scare off 
those horrible pigeons in front of Chiara's window back home.

And today my dad Heiko got these pictures in an e-mail.
They are so sweet!

Can I introduce you to:
Franz - the crow (a scare crow from Germany)
and two beautiful cats Malpelo and Nadja.

Malpelo you know already: http://baileyspaws.com/page8.php
Nadja is Chiara's new kitten. Aren't they adorable?


... and so nosy!!!! ;-)



New York, New York * October 24, 2012

Hello guys!
My dads went to New York again.
Of course I could not join them, I spent two weeks at the dog sitter's in Kelsterbach.
Lots of fun there and many other cuties!

I have a friend there ;-)

In New York my cuz Gismo had a good time with my dads, 
they spoilt him with many belly rubs and lots of cuddling.



My daddies left on October 10, 2010 on an Airbus 380
A huge plane, but inside nothing special they say.


 And look: Here they are already approaching JFK airport.
This is what my dads discovered next to Terminal One.
A doggie area, that is new.


New York, here it is! Seen from New Jersey.
I remember the Big Apple...

This is in Brooklyn, close to Greene Park, where my relatives live,
and my cuz Gismo aka "The Giz"
From his roof top he can see the skyline of Manhattan.
Halloween was coming up, everywhere!!!
Let's get ready for Spooky Halloween.

Cool, and my dads got remarried again.
This time in Brooklyn.

So many cute dogs all over the city.
And here The Giz again!



While my dads had a decent breakfast they opended their mail.
Of course there was also something for me :-)


Of course they also got me something...
Did you know that the New Yorkers are changing there license plates?
From blue to yellow.

Back in the city...
A store in the West Village.
And a puppy strore downtown.
I really hope they come from proper breeders and NOT from puppy mills!!!!
We animals know that when it comes to money,
humans can be really cruel!!!

Bed, Bath & Beyond is a MUST, isn't it?

My dads also went to Atlantic City, NJ, with my auntie Sarah, for some gambling!
Can you believe it???? They spelled my name wrong!!!
Listen, it is 'Bailey', B-A-I-L-E-Y, ok???

Ooops, what is that? :-(



Coney Island, getting nicer each time. They have done lots of renovation there.
Good, it was about time...
Also in my book:

Gizmo likes to be in a book.


Remember the Green Lady?


Time to say good-bye to New York.

Look here:
These are some of my friend at the doggie B&B in Kelsterbach.
I was so happy to see my dad Heiko again, who picked me up.

My dads back home, usually they bring lots of yummie stuff with them.
Let's see what is in this tiny bag...
Yippie, treats!!

Yippie, I have got a postcard from New York!

And guess what:
Shortly after my dads left, the East Coast was hit by the storm named Sandy.
Poor guys there...

Coney Island

In Manhattan

At the beach...
