Farley (Rest in Peace Sweet Pup)

The gift of Farley Bailey was recorded March 23, 2007 in Hall Summit, Louisiana. Departing his proud parents and four siblings Farley allowed Lynette and Gary Bailey to offer their family to him. At six weeks old the Bailey's learned quickly what was expected of them and in return his services would be provided. Caleb and Cole were also allowed to be a part of his loving family. Other than mushrooms, Farley never met a food he failed to love equally. He was patient to receive his portion of any meals bounty yet protective once it is rendered. Should his water or food bowl be neglected he insisted it was his obligation to push both across the floor to remind Gary. He was quick to proclaim that humans are adorable but extremely difficult to train. The adults warmed his heart, yet the children stole his very soul. His gentle wiggles of compassion soothed the children as their parents smiled reaching for their wallets. He showed no prejudice for any human holding a biscuit or treat. While he was partial to all he did hold some closer to his wiggle than others. His huge head, big brown eyes and infectious personality attracted sales from most all he encountered. A Love for all and a little extra for his favorites, kept them all coming back. His high intelligence quotient coupled with a loving nature opened doors, literally. He was not one to stand behind a closed door. If Gary was absent minded to leave him separate from a potential client, he'd open all the doors himself (literally) to be the Shining Salesman of the Year !!!

Last but not least Farley was a Frequent Flyer at the Disc Golf Course on the Clyde Fant Parkway. He left the discs to Gary as he flew to any visitor attending his event that particular day. He found great amusement in Gary raising his voice to "Come Back". After somewhat lengthy visits he waited for Gary to yell once more and would then run back to offer a sense of command to a very vocal human searching for control.

Our sweet Farley will be missed and will forever be in our hearts and all that visited him who he came to love over the years.
