That is Annie’s grave. She is still resting at what is now the Downtown Transit Center in Fort Collins.

Raise your hand if you knew Fort Collins had a tiny pet cemetery at its main bus station. Read more about it here.

  • Thank you so much for including Annie on your site. We are gearing up for our 12th annual Annie Walk and Pet fest on August 22, 2009. Can we link to this from our Facebook page?

    Sad what’s become of the grave I stumbled upon by accident while doing community service at Recycle Something. It was a dogs grave in the middle of a vacant lot at the time. I wish it still was.

    This is grand. My dog, also a mutt, looking very much like Annie came to me needing a home. She also needs to greet everyone first. I am also a retired railroader.
