Rainbow Bridge Stories
 Beautiful Claire was adopted by very special people in January 2020, knowing their time with this very sweet 12 year old girl with kidney disease would be focused on quality. And oh, how loved and happy she was with them! The thing she loved most in the last couple months was when her daddy carried her from outside and she just had to look at him and he would carry her upstairs for her ice water. We miss Claire Bear and her demanding way to have us try to guess what she wanted. Outside? Nope. Water? Not just cold water, but her special ice water from the fridge. She loved playing games. Claire earned her angel wings on November 24th, 2020. |
 Somewhere during the long night of watching over her for the last time, Candy, ever the alpha pup, chose her own time to slip over the rainbow bridge on November 18th, 2020. I don't know when, exactly, as she chose to go while I was taking a catnap. I miss her so much - she was my ‘steady eddie’ Sheltie, always by my side. Laddie and I still look for her and probably will for some time. She's been a constant and wonderful companion to me for 13 years and during this Covid 19 pandemic. It's hard to say goodbye to a friend like that, but I know she's running free now and in no pain, so I take comfort in that.

 Sasha was diagnosed with transitional cell carcinoma shortly after joining us in March, and developed renal disease in recent months. Her foster mom loved Sasha dearly and took the best care of her to provide her with a happy, comfortable life for as long as possible. Our foster Sheltie Sasha Marie earned her angel wings on November 17th, 2020. Caring for a hospice Sheltie will bring great sadness, and we are grateful to Sasha’s foster mom for her unconditional love for Sasha. Thank you to Paws and Claws Kooch County for entrusting us to care for Sasha. |
 When Cooper was adopted by his foster family, he gained not only a loving family, but also a best friend in Sheltie Bram. They loved to wrestle and were always together. Cooper was my constant shadow, During the pandemic, we became even closer. I could rub his butt and he would grin and dance. I'm so grateful that, even with such a tough start in life, Cooper trusted and accepted us and enriched our lives for as long as we had together. |
