In Loving Memory

Mochi, you are a miracle from heaven. Your daddy picked you up, and you took to him instantly. The most beautiful time of every day was spent with you. Our champion Mochi, from the time you were young until your senior years, you always made us proud. Everyone who crossed paths with you loved you. Rest in peace, with no more suffering. Your daddy says you are dancing in heaven now. We love you, our victorious boy—the name we called you until the very last day of your life.

Sweet, gorgeous, and delightfully crazy 🐶 Lola kept my heart full and my life active for 15 unforgettable years. Loved deeply by her whole family, but forever Mom’s greatest love. Until I can hug you again, my sweet Lola. 🤍🪽

Ten years. That’s how long I got to love you, and somehow it still doesn’t feel like enough. I adopted you when you were just nine months old, long before so many of the chapters of my life had even begun. You were there before Mitch, before so many adventures, before everything that would eventually become our life. You were my buddy, my shadow, my adventure partner, and honestly, my first kid. You went from being my sidekick to becoming part of our family. From long hikes and road trips to new places, mountain adventures, and all the ordinary days in between, you were always there. You even tackled more than your fair share of life’s challenges, including two bad knees, and somehow never lost that spirit of yours. One of my favorite things about you was that you never needed much. Just to be near your people. A familiar place, a little attention, and a spot where you could settle in and be part of whatever was happening. Yesterday, we had to make the hardest decision, and today the world feels a little quieter without you in it. I keep thinking about how strange it is to know you’re no longer here, when for so long, you’ve been part of almost every version of my life. I’m grateful you got to spend your final days surrounded by people who loved you, and that you had a favorite tree to call your own. I hope you knew just how loved you were. Ten years of muddy paws, big adventures, stubborn moments, unconditional love, and a friendship I’ll never be able to replace. You were there before so much of my life began, and you’ll always be part of the story. Run free, my sweet Chewie. You were a really good dog. And you were so much more than that to me. I love you, buddy. Always.

13 wonderful years… My sweet boy, You were my best friend, my constant companion, and one of the greatest loves of my life. I’ll miss our walks, sharing ice cream, and even your daring escapes out the door that left me terrified something might happen to you. Thank you for all the love and happiness you brought into my life. I would give anything for one more walk, one more adventure, and one more moment with you. Run free, my boy. Enjoy all the ice cream you could ever want. Until we get to enjoy our walks again, I love you forever and always.

Lulu was a special little girl. She was loved deeply by family and friends. We are empty without her.

Scruffy was the best companion to my mom after we lost my dad in July 2011.

We love you Devin! Have fun playing with Tibbs again!

The most handsome, affectionate, bonkers cat I've ever had the joy of loving. George was a shining light in my day and the warm presence sleeping next to me every night. My baby boy gave me 7 glorious years of loving him, the hole in my heart where he was will never be filled but I can't thank him enough for loving me and spending his life with me.

My wonderful Otis, You are so dearly missed by your people. We don't know your birthday, but when daddy adopted you 10 years ago that was truly the start of your life. You brought so much joy to our house, and you were so patient with our kids through every milestone. I hope you have been reunited with Sadie, and that you're running together pain-free wherever you are ❤️.

Yuki, I love you and will always love you. Rest in paradise my sweet girl.
