In Loving Memory

In memory of the very best boy. I hope you’re not in pain anymore.

From happiest hello to the saddest goodbye, We loved you your whole life and we will miss you for the rest of ours.

Kovu Jabari, My sweet baby boy—I still can't believe you're gone. You were my best friend, my soulmate, my world, my reason, my love, my little shotgun rider. I will never forget you.I will miss you and look for you in everything, every day, until I see you again. This pain is only the shape of how much I loved you. This separation is deafening, and my heart yearns for you every moment. We have been through so much together, and I'm not sure how to live without you—but I'm trying. Your smile lit up my life. Without it, I feel lost, and in the dark. I can't believe this is real, that I'm faced with a life without you. I will never forgive cancer for taking you from me. We were supposed to have so many more years, and it isn't fair that they were stolen from us. But I will find you. In every timeline, in every life— I will find you. I love you, my Kovu baby.

You were the one who captured Mom’s heart, and those who’ve come after you - Cody, Jesse, Rory, and Molly – followed in your paw steps. Sleep well, my friend.

She always brightened our day and was a great companion and loving member of our family for over 12 years. Thank you for all the amazing memories!

She was the best friend and protector we could have asked for. She leaves a hole that will never really be able to be filled.

We loved our Lahi boy then and will love and miss him forever. The Shining Star of our family

Juno, my beautiful, smart, golden girl. I knew when I saw you on Bonaparte’s Retreat’s adoptable dogs page that I was done for. That face. Those eyebrows. I knew you were mine the second I saw you. Now, 10+ years later, I find myself at the hardest part of loving animals. Saying goodbye. Juno taught me so much about pet ownership. You had to earn her trust and love, but once you did, there wasn’t a sweeter girl in the world. Our home will be a lot less fluffy without you, my sweet golden girl, but I promise I’ll never get tired of finding little Juno fluffs around the house or in my car. In fact, I welcome them. I hope not a day goes by that I don’t find a little reminder of you. Thank you for every cuddle, every twinkly smile, every adventure, and for loving and protecting us so well.

You have loved us unconditionally for all of your life and we will love and miss you for all of ours. ♥️ Thank you Heather for the first (of two) greatest blessings of our lives. ♥️🥰♥️🥰 We believe that our furbabies never die and just as Nala...Spartan you will be sleeping in our hearts forever. ♥️♥️ Also, we know that Nala, Geno, Zoe, Snowball, Minki, Bailey, and other beloved furbaby friends will be there to welcome you with opened paws and to show you all the true "treaty" ways until we meet again. It is not goodbye, as it is...we will see you again, our little Bubba! 🌈♥️🥰 P.S. Sparto, Maia has already shown us today that she has got “your front porch watch” from here...and we will surely support her while she too, already misses you greatly as you will forever be her “Bubba” as well as ours. 💔🌈😭♥️ RIP our sweet perfect boy, Sir Spartan. 08/23/2011-05/07/2026 ♥️🌈🩵🐾🦴

Thank you, Thomas, for teaching me so many things; Compassion, selflessness, tolerance, patience, responsibility, but most importantly, you taught me the lesson of love. How to give it selflessly, and what it brings to your heart when you receive it from someone that doesn’t have to give it to you, but they choose to because they love you. That’s what you gave me. You tested me so many times, and so many ways, and you forced me to grow and to be better. You did it with me kicking and screaming, but you wouldn’t let me rest, you knew there was much for me to learn, and you were my constant teacher. And I am grateful for that. You are my little soulmate. We are so much the same in so many ways, we were destined to cross paths at some point. It has been an honor to have you in my life, I cannot imagine not having this time with you, my life would have just been incomplete otherwise. Thank you for stealing my heart and for being my friend. I will see you again, but until then, sweet dreams in heaven. I love you buddy.
