In Loving Memory

My sweet boy, he is no longer in pain and free to run, jump (privacy fences), and poop wherever he wants to.

Our boy Duke was such a good boy! He grew up with our kids. We got him when our son was 10 years old and our son is now 25. Our daughter was 8 years old and is now 22. He was always so excited to see us when we got home. We could have been gone 5 minutes and he was so excited that you would have thought we had been gone for days! When he was a few years old for some reason he got scared of the toaster, hand mixer, and waffle iron! He would go hide when I got them out to use them. In the last couple of years it didn’t bother him. Also, as time went on he got scared of storms. We didn’t know why. Then the last year or two his hearing wasn’t so good so he didn’t notice the storms as much. He used to sleep in our bed with us but when arthritis and a bad ACL started he wasn’t able to get on the couch or in our bed. It’s so sad how such a constant in our everyday family life is now gone. We miss him so much.

Ned brought so much joy to ordinary moments. He especially loved having adventures where he could show off his fetch skills. He also had a knack for cuddling up and making you take in the calm and quiet times. He was the most perfect companion.

Joy was the happiest, most energetic, and loving creature i've ever had. She always wanted to play after long hours of sleeping and could never resist her treats. She made lots of people smile on the internet and in real life. She was with me for 9 years and she's seen me go through so much. She is unforgettable and so incredibly unique. I won't ever forget picking her out because she was the runt of her group. I'll miss you Joy.

He as the most loving companion anyone could ask for. He knew when I was not feeling well and when the kids were hurt. He would be there for all of us no matter what.

Sweet, Lily. Thank you for being such a beloved member of our family for over 16 years. Your snuggles, purrs and friendly meows made us feel loved and know you felt loved all along. Now you’ll be with your brother Dusty, Dora Raye and Spooky forever. We love you so much… until we meet again, sweet girl. ❤️

My dearest Simba even though my heart aches to have you still by my side to see you run around with your favorite bone like a champion, I really saw how tired you where so strong and just waiting on me to come to grips with letting go so you can transition peacefully. You gave me the greatest gift in the end by laying in my lap and having that very moment together for the last time you where tired buddy and so warm. I felt your whole body relax into mines as if your energy and soul merged into mines. If anyone ever met Simba they knew how much he loved me as I loved him he will forever live in my heart. I love you forever Simbooky🦋🫶🏽

Fred, you taught us what it means to be resilient, how to love without fear despite the past, and how to find joy in every single moment. We were lucky to be chosen by you, and we will love you forever.

Big Boy, I hope that your short time with me had nothing but deep love and kindness. You will be dearly missed my sweet boy. May we meet again in whatever comes next.

It is with heavy hearts (and unusually quiet surroundings) that we announce the passing of Theremin, beloved feline, professional conversationalist, and self-appointed ruler of the household. She was tiny. She was mighty. She was loud. And she was so very loved. Rest easy, sweet Theremin. The world is a little quieter without you. 💙🐾
