In Loving Memory

Jasper, "Jaspy" my beloved 12-year-old boxer, passed away peacefully, leaving my heart full of love and memories. A rescue, Jasper came into my life after I had lost my previous boxer, helping me heal during a time of deep grief with his joyful spirit. He was a goofy, handsome ball of energy—hyper yet incredibly patient. Jasper loved his daily walks, his treats (especially turkey cold cuts and peanut butter), and most of all, cuddling close. He always knew how to lift my spirits and be there when I needed him most. Jaspy will forever be mine, endlessly loved and spoiled, and such a huge part of my life. He is missed more than words can say. Rest peacefully, sweet boy.

Our sweet boy

For 14 wonderful years, Roxy filled my life with unconditional love, loyalty, comfort, and joy. She was more than a dog—she was family, a best friend, and a constant source of happiness. Roxy's wagging tail, gentle heart, and loving spirit touched everyone who knew her. She was there with endless affection, especially kisses, and a companionship that can never be replaced. I am grateful for every moment, every walk, every cuddle, and every memory she gave me. The love we shared will remain with me forever. Run free, sweet Roxy. You were loved more than words can express and will be missed more than you could ever know. Thank you for 14 beautiful years of love. Always loved. Never forgotten. ❤️🐾

My cuddly Squirrel cat - not a mean bone in your body, you were always full of love and playfulness. You made us smile when you played with lasers, you made us laugh when you swatted at characters on the TV, and you made us calm when you cuddled and napped. I loved our under-the-coffeetable scratches. You crossed the world from South Africa to Seattle and kept our little family together. Your loss is so big - Your brother and I are going to miss you so very much. Rest easy, and have fun playing with your sister Flower. We love you so much, Squirrel!

Benji, you were the BEST CAT mommy and daddy could ever have wished for. We are going to miss you immensely. We’re so glad you’re not in pain anymore but the pain of losing you is going to take awhile. You were that loved sweet boy. Thank you for 8 years of complete joy and happiness. Until we meet again, our hearts will be waiting ❤️

Dear Daisy, you were so so loved. Thanks for being the best girl.

Hello, Sweet Vinny! We got you during the pandemic so we didn’t have an opportunity to host visitors and we’re sad that none of our friends and family got to meet you in person, but you had many admirers and friends through social media, and family got to know you through pictures. Your beautiful plush fur and expressive face photographed so well. We wish we could have had more time with you but we are grateful for every moment we had. You were our quirkiest cat, a mix of sweet and salty (though mostly sweet) and we miss your soft, warm weight against our legs on the sofa and curled against our bellies at night. We can’t turn on the sink or the tub faucet without expecting you to come running for a drink straight from the source, as you loved. The house is too quiet without your toenails on the wood floor and your insistent meows at 6:30 each morning. Thank you for being part of our family and we send our love with you, and hold yours with us.

Sky, my sweet girl, you were the joy and light of our lives. This world will never be the same without you. We will forever miss you. Rest easy baby girl 🐾🩷 You’re in doggy heaven now back with our created God our father.

To the boy who thought he was a dog, Simon, I can’t tell you how much joy you brought this family, and now you’ve left a giant hole. From the day I brought you home as a homeless cat (after you’d tangled with something big) I knew you'd now have your forever home. It took very little time to see how grateful you were. Your personality shone as bright as those gorgeous blue eyes. From the way you'd walk around the house talking to yourself, to your endless curiosity and pursuit of mischief, exploring and playing with for hours with the toys you loved so much, to curling up with your beloved best friend, Brodie, I've never seen a cat so genuinely love life and honestly think he was a dog. That's what you will always be, just one of the dogs. Simon, mama and your brother and sisters will miss you more than you will ever know. We love you so much, my beautiful blue eyed boy. Rest in peace. Simon 5/26/26 💔 Ps, I need the universe to give me a break from all this loss, honestly my heart can’t take much more.

To the best dog there ever was. I don’t think you ever knew what a bad day or a bad mood was. I will miss you forever.
