Higgins

06-2014

On June 1, 2013, Higgins walked into to my home and my heart. He was part of the Ark 9 and when I first saw his photo I hoped that he could be mine. My prayers were answered and we had eight wonderful months together. He was an immediate favorite in the neighborhood. Higgins never met a human or a dog he didn’t befriend. Because he was a very laid back dog, we got a lot of kidding about our slow paced walks. Some people walk their dogs, Higgins and I meandered. He was my shadow, my comfort and my joy. I will carry him forever in my heart.

R.I.P. sweet Laney. Run free at the Bridge when you’re not bossing the other Scotties around.

Sissy is greatly missed, especially by her Scottie brother, Dudley.

 

 

Callie

I was privileged to have served Her Highness Callie for the last 3 months of her life. She joined my clan on Labor Day having adopted her from St Louis Scottie Rescue. She walked out of the car and right into a group of 8 Scotties and said “I’m old and I’m not puttin’ up with any crap!” And that’s the way it has been ever since. She went to the Bridge with dignity. I will see you again my love.

 

 

Jake

After Jake came to us June 2013, I was on top of the moon. He fit in our home like he had been here all of his 10 years. Always the perfect gentleman, he gave kisses and loved car rides. I know that when we get to heaven, Jake will be there to greet us.

For my precious angel girl…..Lassie…..you are missed sweet one. More than you know…you’ll always be

Buster

Buster had grown so much since he arrived at Scottie Acres in May. He fell right into the pack and became my shadow. Forever seeking attention and loving. When I came home from work at night he would run and give me kisses. A ball of energy with a smile. He found the woobie baskets and dragged one with him everywhere. And oh how he loved to go for rides with his Mommy. My last gift to him was to hold him close as he slipped away. I hope he forgives me and is waiting for me in the meadow when it is my time.

 

Sassy

Sassy was a quiet gal who wanted what she wanted WHEN she wanted it. Although she never found a forever home outside of mine, I learned a lot about her during our time together.

 

 

Keita

Keita loved his yard, our other Scotties, his family, and he loved his life. Not only was he my pet, he was my pal. Keita, we miss you. We’ll always love you. We’ll never forget you. Rest in Peace Good Boy.

 

 

Duchess

Duchess had energy to burn at 12 years young and she lived her life in the fast lane. Maybe she sensed that her earthly time was short so she didn’t waste a minute. Duchess’ favorite spot was on the arm of the couch. She made sure everyone knew it! She is sadly missed by the hoomans whose lives she touched. We didn’t get to love you long enough, sweet girl, but you’ll always be in our hearts! 

 

 

Sylvester

April 1, 2013 By STLSTR in 2013

04-2013

Vester was released from a breeder when he was 10. He quickly became the “guard of the couch” (whole couch and recliner). No one was allowed on them except for the two of us. He growled at strange people and was ready to back that up if need be. As he grew older he found that humans might have treats in their pocket and if he turned on the charm (and he did have charm) he might get some. He became friends to many but he had to choose who he wanted. Vester never missed a meal and was a lovable old gentleman ready to defend his human and his couch. He died 3 months before he turned 14 in 2013.

 

 

Katie

January 26, 2013 By STLSTR in 2013

Katie was a such a loving, sweet and gentle girl, always by my side. She loved going for walks, car rides and especially being loved on. Oh, and she loved watching TV too, especially the animal planet. I miss her so much.  

Amos

1-7-2013

Amos went from being a puppy mill kid to the best ever Scottie ambassador for St. Louis Scottish Terrier Rescue! He brightened our home and ran the show from day one. There’s a big empty hole in the house left by a small Scottie boy with a huge personality.

 

 

Abbey May

Abbey was a sweetie. She was only with us for about a year before she died of bladder cancer. She was loved by everyone she met and she met quite a few people. She met many vets during her many trips to Columbia, MO where they were doing a study on the bladder cancer in dogs. She loved other dogs and was happy to play with them in the park.

 

 

Princess Cita

Sweet Princess Cita made her final journey while in foster care. We were blessed to have known this gentle soul.

 

Maggs

October 1, 2012 By STLSTR in 2012

10-2012

Miss Maggs life underwent a dramatic change when she left the puppy mill and came to rescue. Her new parents took her on grand adventures touring the United States and she kept her former foster mom up-to-date with postcards of her travels. Those travels and her postcards came to a sudden stop with her unexpected passing. She will be greatly missed.

 

Yogi

Yogi was a quiet, sweet gentleman that graced my home for too short a time. He has taken a piece of my heart.

 

Cora

She was the friendliest, sweetest girl, and adored by everyone who met her. She was very happy until the last day even with all she had to endure. Duncan and i were with her at the end. I just wish she could have had more time to enjoy being spoiled.

 

Sami

This picture of Sami was taken a few hours before I helped him over the bridge…..still on duty….protecting home and hearth was a job he did with joy and relish much to my neighbors displeasure. It was an honor and a privilege being your Mommy, Sami, and I miss you. The house is way too quiet. Run free and fast at The Bridge wee laddie.

 

Smitty

May 5, 2012 By STLSTR in 2012

5-5-2012

My dad summed it up best when he told me, “it was a real privilege to get to know Smitty – he was the sweetest boy”.  I’d never heard anyone use the word privilege when referring to getting to spend time with a dog, but Dad got it right.  It was a total privilege to have Smitty in our lives.

Monty

December 29, 2011 By STLSTR in 2011

Monty came to rescue in ill health at the grand age of 15. He loved his food, his chewies and head pats. He enjoyed the last few months of his life, pain free and a beloved member of the family. We will miss you, Mr. Monty.

 

Scooter Dark Vader

I knew when Scooter came to rescue May 2010 that she would spend the rest of her life with me. I miss her bouncing for her food bowl, her loud voice at treat time and I miss reaching down alongside the bed and finding her there. Scoots, Scootie, Scootiebug – – – our lives were enriched by your presence.

 

 

Dempsey Duncan Stewart

My sweet rescue boy. He was the sweetest Scottie in the world. I miss him every day.

 

Stevie

Our sweet Stevie boy….we were so blessed to have you in our lives. Although your life on earth was short-lived, you were the best companion a family could ask for. You were more than a dog. You were a family member and you will be missed very much. Not a day will go by that we won’t think of you. We love you Stevie. Rest in peace, our sweet boy.

 

Ralph Henry

You came to us broken physically but not mentally. You blessed us with your happiness and love for 3 ½ months and then you suddenly went. God bless you on your next journey, Your Royal Highness Ralph Henry.
