Charlie
Sweet Charlie I didn’t know you as a puppy, for that was not my time I didn’t know you as a young dog, for that was not my time I didn’t know you as an adult dog , for it still wasn’t time. I met you as a senior and you were right on time. Do I wish I could have shared all the time with you? Of course I do, but it has been an extraordinary privilege to be your mom in the twilight of your life. You claimed me from the first moment we met and stayed loyal till your last breath. I’ll miss your squeals of joy to go outside and your “tick tock” tail that told me you were happy. The click clack of your paws shuffling across the floor is gone now and your catching rabbits on the other side of the rainbow, not just in your dreams. When you look down and see my eyes watering, it’s not because you were bad. It’s because you were so good my heart couldn’t hold all the love. You’re the most brave boy I know. ❤️ .........Leslie Braddock, September 15, 2020

Charlie
My wonderful dog Charlie died today after being bitten twice by a rattlesnake yesterday. I took him to the vet right after it happened and they gave him antivenom, but he died overnight. The rattlesnake was in my yard and 3 of my Eskies were barking at it when I got home. Charlie was the sweetest of all my dogs. He gave hugs and slept curled up next to me. I will miss his huge eskie smile......Lynn Badger, January 11, 2018

China
One of my favorite foster dogs China passed today. China and her sister India were older dogs and came to us in terrible shape from being flea ridden and kept in cages in a hot garage and barely fed. We nurtured them back to health over several months and adopted them out. Kathleen and AJ who were looking for one dog but after seeing them together took them both. They gave China a great life and still loving India. We are grateful for them for the love they gave China and for telling us the news. RIP China…….Glen Ritter, August 29, 2022

Clarence
Little Clarence took what life gave him and dealt with it. Clarence came into rescue because the lady that had him couldn't afford to take care of him. He hadn't had shots or any vet care. He wasn't used to being around people and he assumed that this was his lot in life. Then ERU found him and took him into foster care. Wow the good life at last! Clarence got all vetted and FOOD, wonderful stomach filling food, for the first time in his life. He had it all... plenty to eat, friends to watch play and a gentle pet on the head or behind the ears. Clarence thought life was pretty good. He wanted to make sure that the people responsible for his good fortune knew he loved them. Everywhere his foster Mom went you would see old Clarence plodding along behind. He was a one of a kind fellow... he wanted to make sure foster Mom was within eye shot. He laid in the floor beside her bed so that she would reach down and pet him during the night. Hmmmm... the life of Clarence.

Then poor Clarence begin to feel bad... if he drank a lot of water his foster Mom wouldn't notice how ill he was and the good life would continue. But the time eventually came that Clarence couldn't hide the fact that he was extremely sick. Clarence soon crossed over the Rainbow Bridge knowing that he was clean, warm, loved and well cared for. We will miss you Clarence... you were loved!
