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

Ivy

Ivy found her forever home at 12 years of age with a wonderful family who understood that love has no age limit. She enjoyed neighborhood walks, looking out the window, napping on the sofa, pillow, blanket, rug or any available article of clothing that she helped  herself to, and bossing her Sheltie brother Toby. We had to say goodbye to Ivy this week. She is very much missed, but we are so glad to have had her these past couple years. She was a month shy of 15.

Buzz was the best little Sheltie boy ever. From shy rescue to multiple agility title holder and extraordinary partner and companion. Absolutely irreplaceable. Buzz passed on November 3rd, 2020 at 15+ years. We are still grieving and feel lost and bereft without him.

Our beautiful Bailey came to the end of her journey today. She crossed the rainbow bridge at home peacefully with her family at her side. She loved flying through the air to catch her ball. Now that she has angel wings she can fly high. Not at our side but in our hearts forever. This how we remember Bailey.

On Monday October 26 our little Giselle left for the Rainbow Bridge. Giselle survived her first 3 years living in a barn with no name, grooming, socialization, and suffering who knows what. When first rescued she had to be shaved which showed multiple scars. We didn’t know what social healing could be done but accepted Giselle for whatever happened. We always said she was unique and “that’s Giselle’s way”. She  would even join in or start the chaos when a squirrel or rabbit dared to come around. We finally felt we got the growths on her poor little feet under control when she was diagnosed with heart disease. We were progressing well with medication but her kidneys and liver were also failing. This was too much for her little body to handle and the light and willpower had gone out of her eyes.
