In Loving Memory of Baylee Arndt
September 2017 — May 5, 2026
Gotcha Day: March 2018
Baylee Arndt, lovingly known as Bay Bay and Tootsie, was a sweet, devoted girl whose joyful spirit and unconditional love made her the heart of her family.
Born in Columbia, South Carolina, Baylee found her forever home with Virginia and Alan, where she became so much more than a pet — she became family. She shared her life with her human sisters Kendall, Cyndi, Alyssa, and Addy, along with a large and loving group of pet siblings. She now reunites with her beloved siblings Anakin and Pearl, while leaving behind her living companions Sarah, Tundra, Dominic, Charlie, Axel, Rebel, and Maverick.
Baylee was full of personality and love. She adored her tennis balls, roughhousing with Dad, playing with her dog brothers, and giving gentle nose boops to Mom. Her happiest moments were spent simply being close to the people she loved most. Her favorite place in the world was laying next to — or directly on — Mom, soaking in comfort and affection.
One of the family’s most treasured memories was the way Baylee would howl with excitement whenever someone came home. Her joy was impossible to miss, and she made every return feel like the best part of the day. She followed Mom faithfully through the house, always wanting to be near her person.
Baylee loved snacks of every kind and would sit so pretty and patiently while waiting for treats. She also adored belly rubs and all the love her family could give her. And when she knew she might be in trouble, she had the sweetest little expression — squinting her eyes, slicking back her ears, and slowly wagging her tail as if to say, “Please don’t be mad at me.”
Though she could bark proudly at the neighbors, everyone knew Baylee only truly listened to Mom. Their bond was something special — deep, loyal, and full of unconditional love.
Though her absence leaves an ache that cannot be filled, the love she gave will remain forever in the hearts of those who knew her.
Run free, sweet Bay Bay. You were deeply loved, and you always will be. 🐾🤍
