Rainbow Bridge Stories
 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. |
 Sweet little Katie joined her loving forever family in 2012. She was such a sweet and lovable girl and was especially bonded to her human mom. They were inseparable friends. And dad was so patient in giving Katie the time and space she needed to trust him. Katie enjoyed running and playing with her Sheltie sibling. Katie crossed the Rainbow Bridge on November 11th, 2020, and her loss has been deeply felt by her family. |
