Rainbow Bridge Stories
             I adopted Owen in 2012. He was a stray whose age and past was unknown. He was such a good sport, he took everything in stride. He was always happy. We learned in obedience classes, we had fun in agility classes, we later took therapy dog training. He was an ambassador for MN Sheltie Rescue (I often had to explain to people that most of our rescue Shelties were not as laid back as Owen) and a Pet Partners therapy visiting dog. He loved to cuddle and he loved to eat. He only barked when he thought dinner was late. |
  Cassie enjoyed spending time in the backyard, running, chasing squirrels and chipmunks and barking at the neighbor dogs. She loved her dad, happily greeting him with barks and jumps when he returned home and following him throughout the house. Cassie’s dad was devoted to her health, always providing the best of care, and she is dearly missed. |
    Unexpectedly and without a fuss, Dixon left us during the night, peacefully resting beside me in bed, taking his last breath around 2:30am. Dix was a cheerful, lively fixture in our lives for more than a dozen years, and we are truly heartbroken. Dixon was a stray who was too much of a challenge to be placed easily, so we took him into our home and our lives and our hearts. |
 Lily was just a pup when she joined her family and big Sheltie sister Sophie. Lily enjoyed the snow, playing with toys and keeping watch over the neighborhood from her perch on the couch. Her family loved her more and more each day. Lily was their best friend. |
