Autumn, go find your kitty brother, T.K. who left us on Earth Day this year, and get some welcoming bops from him.
She will have friends to play with here and I hope to see her soon. All our love from me and her sister Willow. I July 19, 2922/ Hi Autumn Mist! Thinking of you and giving my love. You are always so special to me. Willow is 13 now, eating well, seems happy. Her brother Mist can be a pain, but know they like each other. Willow got squirted with water hose and she loved it. Been a while since you two played in the sprrinkler. Do you remember? I love you so much!
miss you my gentle girl!
August 30th, this is the 2 year anniversary of Autumn passing. I love my baby jusy as much as ever and cry over her every day. This morning, at 4"30 AM was when she left us.
9/17/19 Nineteen days without you, Autumn. If it wasn't for your sister Willow, I would be so lonely. She misses you too. Going to St Dom's for therapy visit this Saturday, will have to tell them of your passing. There will be so many who will miss your sweet love.
I missed last nights Candle Lighting Ceremony as I went to a seminar where the guest speaker was Don Piper, who wrote "90 Minutes in Heaven". I wanted to ask him if he saw animals, Autumn, but my ride showed up early and wouldn't wait for me. So, that question is still in my mind and I wanted to shake his hand as he has been somewhere special!
I love you, little Pump Tail!
9/19/19 Received some loving notes from folks here at Rainbow Bridge. We all share our love and grief. They are so kind to include us. I found Blue Bunny and put hiim by your ashes. You loved that little toy and fetched it for me hundreds of times when I threw it. Was just the perfect size for your small mouth. If I didn't respond quickly enough, you would pick him up and drop it at my feet or put it in my hand. Miss that, Your sister does not really care for toys, except duck, when I threw one for her to catch. You'd look at her in a disgusted manner and go pick it up where it fell and bring it to me. You Knew I'd play and throw it again for you! I love you, my Sheltie Girl.
9/23/19 This is the first day of Autumn, my sweet girl. You so looked like the season of "autumn". Your beautiful coat the colors of the leaves, golds, browns, copper. And your expressive loving, deep brown eyes looked straight into my soul in the most caring, loving way. You have my heart, my baby. Please send a sign that you are alright. I thought I saw your shadow the other day when Willow ran to the door. It was just a flash, then over. I send you love and tears daily and can't wait to see you again. Please come visit me or send a sign. Love you, Autumn.
9/30/19 Autumn, it has been one month since you left. It seems like days. I got to see a video of you happy and smiling as you jumped off and on the couch trying to get your sister to chase you. So sweet You radiated such love and happiness. Please send a sign. I miss you so much. I love you!
10/01/19 7:20 p.m. Your background song finally started playing "You fill up my senses". Annies Song. Is this a sign from you, Autumn?
I'm trying to find a couple of short videos I have of you and not having any luck. Please take videos of your furbabies while you have them. They will become so precious to you. I love you so much Autumn and miss you! I found your videos of playing in the sprinkler with your sister, Willow. So happy!!!
Your song quit playing after I applied changes and has not come back on. It was a sign, I choose to believe!
October 6, 2019. Autumn, I heard from the Sheltie folks where I got you. They received my request for a companion sheltie should they have one. I am so happy! In your honor, I would like to name her Autumn, also, although I will choose a different middle name. Do you like "Light" as a middle name? Autumn Light which reminds me of the sky changes when autumn is here. Softer, and gentle just like you. We took Willow to a Pet Blessing today in Spring. It was nice and she received a little St Francis medal since it was his patron day. Wish you could have been there. But, now you can bless us from the Rainbow Bridge until we make it there. I Love you!
October 14th Monday Night Candle lighting. Posted your picture, a new one that I found . You are so remarkably sweet faced and beautiful. Did not know how to post until service was over, but several said how adorable and sweet and beautiful you were. How I miss you, my "Pump Tail" Let God put us together soon!
October 18th, my birthday. Miss that you were not there to kiss me and help eat a little piece of cake. The weather has a few cool days which is perfect Sheltie weather. You would love it. Willow goes out and is doing things you used to do that she didn't before. Laying in the cool grass, sleeping in the closet on the soft bed I made for you when you wanted to get down from my bed. And she is sleeping in the bed with me more often. Are you talking together? These are a comfort to me. I love you so much.
November 2nd, 2019 Well, one of our favorite holidays has come and gone. Halloween! We used to put bandannas on you and Willow and put a safety gate up at the front door so when trick or treaters knocked on the door, you could visit with them You always checked out their candy bags, but mostly gave the kids a thrill as they petted you both and you and Willow had so much fun . Never scared of the costumes and you were my official Halloween pups. We didn't do Halloween this year, just not the same. Only one little group of kids came by anyway.
I miss you so much baby girl, you were always such a joy. Will you help me if the Sheltie folks have a litter? They are saying December/January they will have puppies. You are so unique, I will grow to love another baby, but you are so special. Willow and I send all our love.
November 23, 2019. Autumn, the family that I received you from called me this morning about 9 am and they have a little boy that is 3 1/2 weeks old that I was offered. I really wanted a little girl sable sheltie, but as the day goes on. I'm considering him. What if that is you coming back to live out more of your life? People always asked if you were a boy since you didn't have the white ruff like your sister. To me it made you all the more adorable. I'm gonna email him and ask if he will send a picture. If I take him, I will also be open to a little girl in 2020, too. These will be my last dogs because of my age. Baby, I'd love to see you again. Your sister seems happy but I know she has moments of loneliness, too. She now sleeps almost nightly in your spot in my closet that I made for you so it is quiet and no drafts. She also jumps on the bed although she dowsn't stay the night like you willingly did. My precious angel, help me make a good choice. I love you so much.
Baby Autumn. November 30th is 3 months ago that I lost you at 4:30 in the morning. Still miss you so much. I still bring my Sheltie toy to sit on my end table at night and bring her into the den with me in the morning..
December 10. How I will miss you this Christmas, little girl. Your new brother will be coming home in a few weeks . I was thinking of calling him Breezy Mist, but think it will be Mist or Misty Breeze. Mist will be after your own middle name. If I ger a little girl I will name her Autumn Breeze, again using your name. That will be likely in the Summer. I loved your name. It was so gentle and sweet like you. Willow is sitting under the table and we have a new visit tomorrow at Chamberlain College. Wish you were here to go with us. I felt a little lump on Willows right side behind her front leg. Need to get it checked. Ten years seems to be when all the bad things happen. I think of you so many times during the day. Your name comes up and I have to cry still. i want to have good dreams of you and remember them. Willow and I love you so much. Good night sweet Autumn Mist I changed some things in your Memorial.
December 18, 2019 Autumn, we will pick up your new baby Sheltie brother on the 28th at 9:30 AM. He is Starlights Misty Breeze. I used your middle name for his first name in your honor. I hope so much he will be like you. I love you you, baby girl. Merry Christmas! Willow has a bad right foot today. I think too much running and playing yesterday. It was cold. Perfect Sheltie weather. We kept thinking of you, and how you liked this type of weather. Love.
December 25th, Merry Christmas, my beautiful loving baby Autumn. Had an emergency heart problem yesterday, thought I would join you, but pulled thru. I miss you nosing under the tree and after finding your goodies, treating me to your 'pumptail" of a happy girl. It has not been 3 months but seems forever sometimes and just a day ago at other times. I am so lonely for you. Your new brother Mist Breeze will be home Saturday,
Willow went to vet this week and had check up and 3 year rabies shot., she is well. Please baby, come visit me, I misss you so much. I imagine you don't feel the need because after such bad health for several years, you are free of any discomfort and pain and are loving all the fun you are having with other friends you have known.Merry Christmas, Autumn from me and Willow!
December 29- Autumn, your new baby brother, Mist, is home.
January 1, 2020 midnight Happy New Year Autumn! Willow is on my lap and i'm holding the Sheltiestuffy. I love you always!
January 31, 2020 Love you, my Autumn Mist. Your baby brother, Mist, is now 3 months old and a handful. Your sister, Willow is a saint. He warts her constantly, but she remains a good girl. Monday, February 3, your Mom is going in for triple bypass surgery. If things go wrong, I hope you will meet me at the Rainbow Bridge. Very scared about it, but guess it must be done. I don't feel bad, just winded. Baby, yesterday, January 30, you have been gone for 5 months. I miss you every day. I still make sure my Sheltie toy comes out of my room in the morning and comes back to my room at night. Some times, I need to cuddle it, trying to feel like you are comforting me. I'm taking it to hospital with me. I have my silver chain on with the paw print and angel wing charm on it. I miss your Pump Tail and your sweet kisses and special face with eyes so loving. I will always cherish you until we all meet again.
March 24, 2020 I ove you and miss you so much. I had my surgery on February 3 and made it thru a quarduple bypass. Thought maybe I'd see you again if I didn't make it. You are so special to me. I cry often thinking of you. It is almost 7 months since you left. Willow's little face is getting so white. Having Mist has worn her out but seems to have also been good for her. She will be 11 in June. Time goes way too fast! In one more month, your kitty brother T.K. will have been gone a year, on April 22, Earth Day.
You are so precious to me, I hope you know that. You will always be my Beautiful Autumn Mist.
May 13, 2020. Your little Brother Misty Breeze is is almost 7 months old. I slip and call him Autumn Mist sometimes. He loves playing with your toys and you would have liked playing with him. Willow is so sweet, she will be 11 come June 8th, on the day you were both born. I still cry for you every day, can not seem to get over you being gone. We did not get to say goodbye, even tho I was with you so much. Willow is sitting on my lap right now helping me type while i give her some love. We miss you so much. You and Willow will always be my special babies. Much love!
August 9, 2020 Beautiful Autumn, is had been nearly a year since you left me on August 30, 2019. I still love you so much and cry nearly every day thinking of you. Your sister, Willow , is loving and sweet, but know she misses you, too. I would like to be with you so much. Willow gives me lots of love and some day she will join you as will I. All my sweet pups and I will be together again. I love you, Autumn Mist.
August 30, 2020 Autumn, today is your one year anniversary of your passing. You left me at 4:30 am on this day a year ago, I was awake today at that time thinking of you and crying. Received a wonderful note from "Ginny" about your anniversary, so appreciated. She sent me a Rainbow Bridge pin. I've heard from no one else. Can't believe it has been a year. I think of you every day and cry for your loss, too. I have put your residency as a perpetual memory on this sight. You will always be remembered. I am wearing the necklace with the wing and pawprint in your honor. I love you so much. Please come visit me in my dreams. I love you, from your Momma.
Well, Autumn, itis October 14th, few days from my birthday, Oct. 18th. I will be 70. Wow. Was in the hospital last week, kidney problems. I miss you so much Aitumn. I suppose it is better, I can feel it is easier to think of you without tears, altho not often. Your beautiful,.sweet loving sister Willow, gives me great joy and I know she misses you, too. Mist, your adopted brother, is so much bigger than she is. She is such a lady and he is typical boy. I have not been ouy in weather, suppose to be cool this weekend. I do have your Welcome Autumn flag up. My love for you is still strongI Accidently deleted my 'sent" file announcing your passsing, yesterday and am so sorry for that. Must go kiss your lil box. Love you so much, my Autumn Mist! Christmas Day 2020 Been wanting to say hello all day and tell you Merry Christmas. very wuiey. Willow is still going strong anf think her brother Mist warts her but keeps her moving. I love you my beautiful girl.
You would have enjoyed the corn dogs they both received.
January 1st 2021 ,my girl. I love you so much January 16, 2021. Hello, my baby girl. I love you and think of you every day, sometimes many times. Still cry at the mention of your name. i have a wonderful friend, Nancy, who is so kind to always mention you, so I know you are still part of my life.She knows how precious it is yo be remembered. Willow, is getting so whilte faced. She will be 12 in June on your birthdays. It is hard not to mention Willow and Mist as "The Girls" which is how I always referred to you and your sister. Mist is so big compared to Willow, but she has learned not to put up with him when he warts her.. You would love this weather, Willow is enjoying the colder days and she just came back from a walk at the park. Wish I had you to take, but I can imagine the Rainbow Bridge has the perfect weather that you would like. Can't wait to see you again. Willow is sitting under the table. Somehow think she knows I'm writing to you. I love you both so much! She just came up and poked me and pawed at me, I do think she knows!!
Please watch over me and for me. We will all be together some day. LOVE! Only 3 more days until you and Willow's birthday- June 8th. You and your suster Willow will be 12 years old. Willow is losing her sight and hearing but she still looks deep into my heart I love you both so much!!!!.
June 8, 2021-Happy Birthday Autumn Mist and sister Willow's Quest! 12 years old and I have you both in my heart. Willow was able to celebrate with me and you, sweet Autumn are my celestial birthday girl! I love you both so much. Willow was able to celebrate with special munchies all day and lots of extra love which I would be happy to share with you, Autumn.
Got several e-mails where you were both wished a Happy Birthday! You both are so special to me. I love you!!!
Oh My, thought I had lost you! I couldn't get into the Guardian area and had to get in touch with Ginny. She said to go to guardian site, hit control, refresh and enter info, It worked. Was so scared I couldn't get to site as in 25 days you went to Rainbow bridge two years ago. I love you every day!
August 30th, this is the 2 year anniversary of Autumn passing. I love my baby just as much as ever and cry over her every day. This morning, at 4:30 AM was when she left us. Willow and Mist got to go to the dog park today and I wish you had been there. I received a loving note from Ginny who cares for your site and a note from your Aunt Nancy noting the day. I feel sometimes I see your shadow going by or feel you brush my leg or foot and I thank you!
I love you so much, ny baby girl. I will see you again someday. I put up your WELCOME AUTUMN flag!
Hi sweet Autumn! Here Christmas has come and it is now December 30, 2021. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you and usually have a cry. Did put a few lights up and we had a visit at TCC on Dec. 8. Willow had such a good time and even Mist got to have a short visit. He is so noisy! Willow had a bath today, fleas are bad. I washed all their bedding and she had a great nap. Mist keeps bugging her constantly and she has learned to snap at him when he does this. Love him, too, even tho he is a pain in the butt. Sent Nancy your video of the day you and Willow played so hard, you would run and jump on the loveseat and she would come out from behind and run, over and over. Nacy loved it. She has been so nice to me in remembering you and mentions you often. She ubderstands as she lost her husband and several pets. I love you, my baby girl. Miss you so much, wish I could dream about you, but I think you are happy. I do think about when my time comes, that you and whomever has passed, will come to help me across and I will receive so many puppy kisses and love.

Well. Autumn, it is the 4th year of your passing and I miss and love you so much. Willow and I spent anniversary moments together with you at 4:30 AM. I put up your Autumn flags and your Hello Autumn plaque. Willow sends kisses, she is now 14 and doing well with extra care. Walked with you around the yard last night and felt close to you. I will always love my girls with a special love and one day we will all be together again with all my fur babies. Love you my Autumn Mist, ALWAYS!
Autumn, the time has come for Willow to join you, I think. She has a vet appt tomorrow at 2pm. She hasn't eaten for 3 days and is throwing up, May be pancreatitis. I am scared and so sad to lose her and would love more time with her. But, I know we will be together again one day with God's promise. Please be with her when her time comes and then you can wait for me. Such joy to see my girls again.
The day came 10/20/23 and Willow is now with her Sister. They are together again. I took Willow to Angel Clinic and she passed very gently at 14 years and 4 months plus. My girls will be happy again! I am so sad to lose her,, but now I have heaven to look forward to when I leave. Love you Willow's Quest and Autumn Mist!!! It is already 4 days and I am so empty. Willow is everywhere. No one to take advantage of a dangling hand to get a scratch. For being so small, she certain;y took up a lot of space, especially in my heart. I love and miss you Willow and Autumn! On Nov. 5th I went to Hempstead and picked up Willow's Autumn Skye, born September 19, 2023. She is a tiny thing, one of 8 in her litter. Was planning on calling her Skye, but Willow just kept popping up. It gives me
comfort. I don't think Willow's Quest will mind. It has been a month today that Willow left gently. I feel like I missed saying and doing some things for her, but perhaps I was comforted that she lived a long life and I was able to let her go. Or maybe as I age, it is easier to accept as I Know I will see them all again. I love Willow and Autumn Always and Forever. 12/19/23 Hello, my girls. Hope you are playing together and having fun. It is almost Christmas and I know you are sitting near baby Jesus and giving him Sheltie therapy. Hugs and Kisses, babies! New Years Eve. my baby girls. 2024 is tomorrow. Willow, has it really been over 2 months since you left and your sister, Autumn, 4 years. I love and miss you bith so much, hope you are playing and having fun. Come see me?
It is April 23, 2024. Willie, (she's not quite a Willow) had a bath and she and Mist get along well now. Whenever I see her sweet lil face, I think of my Willow and Autumn. She has an unusual ruff, part of Willow's look and part Autumn. She is my "Hempstead watermelon". Mist seems to enjoy having a playmate and she stands up to him, such a lil bully. He loves it! Girls, my health is getting worse and know I will see you one of these days. Please come visit to guide me when the time comes? I love you so much and thank God you were allowed to be with me. I learned so much from you. June 8, 2024, Happy Heavenly Birthday Autumn and Willow! You were born 15 years ago and I loved you every moment I had you. Play together and celebrate the day, my babies. I think I will see you soon. Love you so much!! Hi Baby Girls. It's August 5, 2024 and I was just thinking of you both and missing you. Willie and Misty are fine, Willie will be 1 in September. She has some of your habits, girls, and her neck ruff is a combo of both of you. I love you!!! Autumn Mist's 5th anniversary of her passing and I still love her and think of her daily. Willow, her sister, has joined her and I know they are together again making therapy visits like they did on earth. My GIRLS were so special to me and some day I will join them!
Willow's 1 year anniversary will be October 20, 2024. I love and miss my girls so much.!
Today is the day that Willow joined her sister, Autumn. Sat outside and felt her little spirit with the last few moments of her life, a year ago. My baby girls are together again, and next time I see them will be to accompany them across the Rainbow Bridge together, forever with all my other sweet babies. I miss them both so much and never cease to think of them daily. I love you Willow's Quest and Autumn Mist!! Forever! Hugs and Kisses!
