Lucy Wo-Wo
RIP March 22nd 2014. It's taken me this long Lucy to write this, I just couldn't bring myself to do it because I just didn't want to think you were gone. You came to us when your family had to give you up, came in with Wilma but you captured my heart immediately. So many dogs go through this house and many of them leave paw prints on my heart BUT you left huge ones so huge I was going to keep you but I never got the chance. That Sat morning you were fine but by a few minutes to 12pm you came and found me(you were blind)to let me know you were not feeling good, by the time I got you to the vets and they did xrays they said it was a lung clot and the lung had clasped....nothing they could do...I didn't want you to go, I wanted to keep you with me longer but I also didn't want you to suffer so the decision was made to let you go. And you were as hard to let go as my Brucey. RIP sweet girl, tell Brucey I said "hi" and I'll see you both some day soon. Diane Irwin president, AADR

Bailey (SC) - RIP
Bailey came from South Carolina into rescue with AADR December 2013. Bailey had previously had a successful back surgery. We took Bailey in and had him in foster care when he begin to show signs of problems with his neck. After consultation and examination, Bailey was scheduled for surgery to relieve the extreme discomfort he was experiencing. Sadly, it was discovered that he was suffering from Spinal Degenerative Myelopathy. Bailey could not be successfully removed from the ventilator following surgery and he crossed rainbow bridge after far too short a time with us. Bailey is sadly missed by all of AADR, especially his foster mom Tracy who loved and cared for him while with us.

Bianca
Bianca - Adopted 2010 - Cross Rainbow Bridge 2014: Bianca came into my life from AADR in late winter 2010. Adopting her was one of my first "grown-up" actions after graduating from college. She was my constant companion. At the time I was working at a boarding and daycare kennel, and she went to work with me every day! Bianca loved to house sit with me, and made several long road trips as my co-pilot. She loved our little farm and was very curious about our horses and goats. Bianca loved to go for walks by the river way behind our house! I will miss her dearly. She slept under the covers, snuggled close, and now my arms seem so empty. Another "grown-up" lesson that Bianca is teaching me, how to cope with her loss, and how to make room in my heart for another set of little paws someday.

Cookie Man Mann
RIP Sweet Cookie Man Cookie was adopted in 2005 after entering rescue. He reported bit a young child and was to be euthanized. We loved him for nearly 8.5 years before he succumbed to cancer. Cookie passed away Wednesday Jan 22 at 10:45AM. We were on our way to the vet when he passed in my arms. Cookie was loved by everyone who met him. All my grandchildren looked forward to seeing Cooking and getting his attention for love. He always had a kiss for everybody willing to let him get close enough. He loved riding in the truck and going to the park. Loved walking around the block and meeting new neighbors. We only wish the call to the Rainbow Bridge had taken longer to come. Even though we knew it was near it still was something we did not want to see.
