Honoring the Life of Piper

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 19:00:00 GMT

Sweet Piper crossed the Rainbow Bridge on January 18th. We thank Piper's mom, Laticia, for sharing her very moving and personal story:

"Today I lost one of my best friends. She was the type of friend who always listened and was right by my side whenever I needed her. She was a beautiful soul, who taught me so much about myself, life and what is means to really love.

Piper came into my life during one of the most difficult times I had ever been through. My husband of 4 years, whom I ...

Thanks to Muttville mom Josie for sharing the story of Cupcake:

You wouldn't know by looking at this itty, bitty poof ball of a girl dog the immense character and sweetness she has within. Everyday she shares her heart and silly ways with us and we LOVE it! Although she had little hair on her tail and bald spots on her tiny body when we first met, she's rockin' a full coat of blonde fur these days that her lovely, white eyelashes compliment so beautifully. This little girl ...

Here is a story that Bumper wrote himself about his really fun vacation with Muttville volunteer Annie and her husband:

I was away from Muttville on a four-day, four-night stay at hotel Fuji and Samurai in San Francisco for the New Year’s holiday. At this hotel, they called me The Little King and Udon.

Happiness Til the End: Wallace

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 19:30:00 GMT

We adopted a little guy named “Salty Dog” in April 2009 – we called him Wallace. He was an amazing dog and became an important part of our family. He saw us have two daughters and moved with us three times.

Wallace passed away with us at home early Tuesday morning. The vets made sure he wasn't in any pain. He was likely fighting some form of cancer for the last three months. We loved and cherished this guy; he really was a special dog and I'm glad we were able to spend ...
