In Loving Memory

My dear sweet Keks. Carmy, you will always be in my heart.

Shea baby, we miss you every day! Our lives are not the same without you around us! I know you are not suffering now and crossed the rainbow to be with your sister Rosie. Be in Peace sweet baby Shea 🐶❤️❤️

Dear Guyz, You may have been my senior rescue, but the truth is… you rescued me. You filled my life with more joy, love, and laughter than I ever thought possible. You were my little senior adventurer, my sunglass-wearing beach boy, my shopping companion, my “take me everywhere” boy. Wherever I went, you belonged right by my side. You had the most beautiful smile I have ever seen, a smile that could light up any room and lift even the heaviest heart. You were always my happy boy, always ready for the next adventure, always living life with zest and westitude. Please know I will love you forever. I will carry you in my heart every single day, because love like ours never dies. It simply changes form. Thank you for being the incredible best friend anyone could ever ask for. My life is better because you were in it. Love always and forever, Mom 💙🐾

My bold, spirited, and loyal girl. Thank you for every morning, every tail wag at the door, every little puppy kiss. You were so little but you ran the whole house with your big personality. You were my shadow and my heart. Forever my Piper ❤️

Life was never dull with you, Ben. We shared almost 20 years, enjoying your antics and strong personality. You lived life on your own terms and made no apologies for it. You were your own cat right until the end. Thank you for sharing your life with us. The house feels empty without you. Wreak Havoc on the other side! Until we meet again.

To Lola, you will always be the our baby Lola.

You will forever be missed my sweet girl!

Charlie was the heart of our family. Always loving, always present and such a big goofball. He was so content just having his people around.

Boss was a 3 year old Pit Mix rescue that I met after the sudden loss of my Cane Corso. I hated him...he had no manners, had a long snoot and weird webby toes and pulled like a freight train on the leash...but the thought of him in a foster with no home killed me so I adopted the fool...Fool is what I called him when he didn't listen (I smile through tears as I write this). He had lots of names as we learned each other, he never had a home and I never had a pitbull, but we appeared to have the same heart, the same tenacity, the same "never give up, never say die, full steam ahead" attitude and the match became perfection. He was my Bossy, Bossy Moo because of his spots, pal, best friend...that's the one I loved the most because that's what he was. He watched surgeries, supported through covid, diagnosis, treatments, grandbabies being born, hearts being broken and my last flu...he was so worried he made himself sick. Always faithful, always by my side, he gave more than he got (I would have given my life for his), he turned out to be perfect. Here we are, he just turned 13 by our estimation...just celebrated his 10th Gotcha Day...just crossed the Rainbow Bridge. It's a special kind of hurt when you can prepare for their departure...you become more mindful of just how gray his muzzle got, how slow his walk is, that you can't remember the last time he had the Zoomies. You're more patient, letting them smell every smell and take as long as they want or can on their walks...3am walks don't matter anymore because you know the pain of missing them is coming. Food...man we had fun with food! He ate EVERYTHING!! Steak, shrimp, Burger King, junk food, onion rings and chocolate. He left my side fat and happy with a belly full of "no, no, not for puppies!" food. I could talk about him for days, like he was one of my kids when in actuality he was my equal, my nemesis, my buddy boy, my protector, my sidekick, the warm in the cold and the joy in the suck. He was my Boss and I am...lost. Until I see you again my faithful friend, run free of pain with eyes that see clearly and feet that never tire. Rest in the softest of clover sniffing the sweetest smells a snoot ever sniffed and know that I'm with you like you're with me until I get there...you took a hunk of my broken heart and you took all the love it had in it. I miss you. I met a dog BossJangles and he jumped on you. He ate my shoes! A cuddly coat and jingle tags and cow like spots, he wore no shoes! He jumped so high, he jumped so high...and then he'd gently lay down. Mr. BossJangles. Mr.BossJangles. Mr. BossJangles. Smile. Our forever walk song...my forever best friend. Rest easy, pal...I'll see you on the other side. Be a good boy :(

To the best friend I love dearly. You will forever be loved and remembered and we miss you more than words. Happy you are finally at peace!
