Rainbow Bridge Memories

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

On 11/15/2021 we had to send Calvin to the Rainbow Bridge. My home office, our bedroom, in the living room; wherever Mom was, Calvin was right behind. We need time to heal, grieve and process the huge loss of having Calvin for 15 years-8months-5days. He was the thread that wove everything together. He was Mom office assistant, Gardening buddy, walking budding and coach cuddlier. He brought so much energy to our home, our everything. 

My beautiful furry girl Abby crossed the Rainbow Bridge this afternoon to join her Sheltie brother Jake. I adopted Abby in March 2008, and I am forever grateful to Minnesota Sheltie Rescue for bringing two amazing dogs into my life.

Conway was patient, calm, loving and trusting to the end. He was happy sniffing around on our short slow walks. He had lost most of his hearing and a lot of his sight. We blocked stairs so he wouldn’t fall down. We carried him outside and in. All the while we monitored him to see if he was in pain. We loved him even when he started to drool constantly from the tumor. Conway was the perfect dog for our family and we miss him a lot.

With a sad and broken heart we lost Lily so unexpectedly. She had a heart attack after her spay surgery. Lily was so full of joy and zest for life, and loved to be outdoors with nature to chase squirrels or run with a bird or rabbit. She gave me the best gift of her love of nature and we so enjoyed our daily walks. I truly believe I will see lady Lily on the other Side and we will run again and take some long beautiful walks with nature.
