It is with a heavy heart I want to tell everyone that my Baby Girl has crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge. She was my companion and strength throughout life’s struggles. She was always there for Deb, Marilyn and me, never complaining, just there with those huge brown eyes wanting to help soothe the pain.…

I wanted to do something in Mac’s memory. He was such a good boy. He was a rescue at 18 months and an ex show dog who, for some reason, had become aggressive in the ring. He was given to me as a gift from the breeder as I’d just lost my 9 year old in…

Logan Joval Light My Fire July 2, 2002 – August 4, 2014 He is an Am. Champion and his offspring are all over the world. It was great to hear that a litter of his grandkids was just born in Chicago! What made Logan such an unusual Airedale was his personality. He was a noble…

We have been blessed with eight Airedales. Five have been adopted. We lost Sydney W.B. (wiggle butt) lastMay from kidney disease and Hunter Grey this March from IMHA. Hunter fought the battle for six months with many ups and downs but you know when it’s time to let go. These girls were sisters that were adoptedfrom Fayetteville, Arkansas in…

I just came inside. I put a candle on her grave. I looked up at the night sky and there are so many little stars visible. I am hoping she is with Elliot again… Each night she helped me put big bird to bed and lingered by her cage until she heard Sunny say, “bye bye.” One…

Fozzie was a runner. It was his running away that got him into Rescue. As a young pup, he ran away in small town West Virginia. There, he was hit by a pickup truck. The very poor, impoverished animal shelter there, literally picked him up off of the roadside and took him to the vet. That vet did…
