This page is dedicated in loving memory to the MNSR foster and adopted Shelties who are waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge. 

Rainbow Bridge Stories

There’s a huge hole in our hearts. We lost our sweet senior Nedley on Friday, December 2, 2022. We are so grateful that we were able to cuddle and hold him as he crossed to a world with no more pain. Nedley came to us as a vacation sitter but never left. He was so sweet and gentle with the biggest eyes. He had a lot of arthritis and other medical issues that made walking more challenging, but it didn’t stop Nedley. Yes, he wasn’t able to go on walks or run but he made the best of it.

 

We are grateful that Jack had a very loving family who was committed to his physical and emotional well-being. They helped Jack work through anxiety, and nurtured him back to health after a cancer scare. Jack loved to go for walks, and saying hi to his dog friends in the neighborhood. He knew that the kitchen was where good stuff happens and he hopefully waited for a tasty morsel to fall. Jack was the sweetest boy and a gentle soul. 

I wasn’t ready. I’ve never even contemplated life without my baby girl Princess. Of course when you get a pet, you know the inevitable. But I still wasn’t ready.

 

MY baby girl. The dog I adopted myself at just 15 years old. We took a trip to Fargo to rescue a different dog, but ended up bringing home Princess. The most stunning sheltie I’ve ever seen and ever will see. She was my best pal, the sassiest girl, and she really lived up to her name.

Remy was our sixth Sheltie, a breed we have come to love so much. All our dogs possessed the breed characteristics, but each one had their own unique personality. Remy’s defining trait was his devotion. We are temporarily lost without his warmth and constant displays of love and affection, and we are so sad because he was still young and had so much more love and affection to give and get. Mr. Blue Eye. So sweet. So healthy. Never sick a day in his life. Our very best booper boy. Rest In Peace, sweet Remy. You will always be so loved and so missed.
