Give Bailey a Pain-Free Christmas

I don't normally do this type of thing, but Bailey, my 15-year-old Cavachon, has a bad tooth that needs to be removed. I'm normally all about doing things on my own, but the vet is requiring $950 to have his tooth extracted.

Bailey is my life. He walks me to the door when I leave and greets me with a goofy smile and many kisses when I come home. Bailey is all I truly have in life, and I'm all he has. We've been through a lot, me and him—good times and bad, even a few losses along the way. Seeing him in pain tears my heart out. I truly love this boy, more than life itself.

I understand it's Christmas time, and between gift buying for your family and friends and everyday bills, many of you probably can't afford to help out. But if you can, try and make this old dog's Christmas that much better. Much love from myself and many wet kisses from Bailey.
