Arrival Story: Autumn was a stray in Indiana. We were on a weekend camping trip with our malamute and she found us and stayed with us the entire weekend. She was just a puppy and was full of fleas, hookworms, and losing hair from malnutrition. When we left, we took her straight to the vet's office. A week later, and after she got very attached to our malamute, she joined our family.
Bio: Autumn lived with two big malamute/husky dogs most of her life. She always wanted to be the "lead dog". Now that she is the only dog with 3 cat siblings, she still ends up at the bottom of the pack - the cats sleep on her bed, and in her eyes, they run the house!
Autumn is a very independent, friendly dog. She thinks her mom is at her beck and call. When Autumn is upstairs, she wants to go downstairs. When she is downstairs, she wants to go upstairs. For a 12 year old dog, she still acts like a puppy in many ways. She is very spoiled, and she knows it! Our precious Autumn left for the Rainbow Bridge on March 29, 2007, at the age of 12, leaving behind three cats and a Mawmee and Daddy who will never forget her sweet disposition and loving devotion to our family. Autumn is Dogster's Dog of the Day on Saturday, April 7, 2007!

It is with much sadness that I saw my friend, Sadie Boo as she entered the gates to the bridge.
We have been friends a long time, and her family was so supportive when I made my journey.
We love you, Sadie Boo, and we cry with your family today as we know how loved you are, and how much they will miss you. You are no longer in pain, and you and Stormy B. can be together again to watch over your family until the day you are reunited.
Today I celebrate my 14th birthday with the angels. This is my second birthday at the bridge, and sometimes it feels like I've been here for a long time. I have a lot of friends that are celebrating with me.
Of course, there is a reason that today is the day I celebrate my birthday. Mawmee and Daddy found me in October, when they were taking a long weekend and staying at some cabins in Indiana. The cabins were on a lake, and they had their dog Patoka with them.
I was living at the cabins at the time, and so was another dog who had just had puppies. That dog and her puppies were living in a box behind one of the cabins. The cabin cleaning lady was feeding us, but most of the food went to the Momma dog.
Of course, when I saw a nice couple with a dog, I started hanging around their cabin. I took them over to show them the Momma dog and the puppies. I was in really bad shape, very thin, hookworms that made my feet swell up, and I had no hair on my ears from malnutrition.
Mawmee cried the entire weekend. She bought food to leave in the cabin office for the Momma dog. After doing some begging, I was able to go with them when they left to go home. I was taken straight to the vet's office to get cleaned up, spayed, and given my shots.
She tried, but not very hard, to find a home for me, but Patoka and I quickly became best friends, so she knew she couldn't separate us!
The cabin trip was around October 15 and 16 - my Daddy's birthday is the 16th. They decided I was probably around 6 months old, so they did the math and came up with April 15 - tax day - as a good day to celebrate my birthday.
Thank you to those who have remembered me on my special day. . . . . .
Today is the second anniversary of my journey to the Rainbow Bridge.
Mawmee and Daddy went to the U of L game in Indianapolis today, and while they were in the car they talked about me. They said I was such a great dog and how much they missed me.
I've been busy the past two years helping over 300 angels get their wings - most of them have been cats, but occasionally a special doggie friend will be at the bridge, and I have wanted to get them just the right pair of wings for getting around at the bridge.
It is sad when I see a friend come to the bridge because I know how much sadness is left behind for their family. Mawmee still gets sad when she thinks about all the fur family members who have left her, but she knows that there is a place in her heart where each one of us will live forever.
Thanks to my friends who have sent me sweet messages and rosettes today. I appreciate each one of you - you made it easier for me to leave by helping Mawmee deal with the sadness.
