Rainbow Bridge Stories
 Less than two months after losing our cat Minnie, we lost our sweet Romeo on August 6th, 2021. He was just 3 weeks short from his 11th birthday, and we had nearly 8 years with him. He had many health issues over the years, including epilepsy, physical handicaps, slipped discs, bladder stones and bad teeth. But he persevered and was always so sweet and loved to cuddle. Rest well Romeo, and give Minnie some of your sniffs and snorts. |
 After recovering from several health issues while in foster care, Zach was so happy to be adopted by a loving couple who were committed to providing Zach with the best possible care and a wonderful life with a Sheltie brother named Charlie and 2 feline siblings. In his younger days, Zach loved playing frisbee or a good game of chase with Charlie. Nature walks in the woods were a favorite activity his whole life, even when it began to become more difficult for him. Zach gained his angel wings on August 3rd, 2021. |
 Piper joined our family as a foster-fail. She moved with us from Minnesota to Oklahoma and to Texas. Piper was sweet, gentle and such a happy girl. Her favorite thing was to chase balls and she could run so fast! Piper helped other foster dogs to learn that they were safe. She helped our daughters grow up and as their worlds changed, Piper was a constant source of comfort. As she got older, Piper enjoyed sitting on our patio, lifting her nose to take in all the smells. She always wanted to be with us and she followed me around the house up until her last day. Our daughters and I were with her and we held her to comfort her as we let her go. There is a hole in our hearts that will never completely heal. We are so grateful for the many years we had with her. Piper made our family better and that is a pretty cool legacy. |
 Captain Jack Sparrow was one of 5 puppies born from a rescued Sheltie in 2006. He found a wonderful family who cherished him. In his younger days, Jack loved going for walks around the lakes with his family and playing with the Chuck-It in the yard with his human siblings. His stunning looks always got lots of compliments. In his senior years, Jack enjoyed observing from the back patio. Jack gained his Sheltie angel wings July 16th, 2021 |
