In Loving Memory

We miss you Benny! You were the best boy. Even as your 17 year old body started to shut down, you were there for us and helped take care of your people. We miss you like crazy and hope you are playing lots of ball and eating chicken and potatoes. Until we meet again, we love you!

Love you Delvis Presley. I miss you sleeping next to me and falling down on your back to cuddle and get pets.

Steeler was the silliest, most gentle hearted, loyal dog. We were blessed to have him for 15 1/2 years. He took a piece of my heart with him. He will be greatly missed.

My little Dunkin, loving & missing him so much 😪❤️

Sochi was an affectionate, loyal, cuddly, beautiful, and playful cat who we could not have loved more. Cancer robbed us too early.

Alfie, you will forever be in our hearts and souls. Til we meet again... all our love.

Charli, you brought joy and smile to all you met. You loved and were loved. So many adventures will be remembered with you as a special part of them. Forever in our memory and in our hearts.

Carlos had to cross the rainbow bridge on 2/14/26. He was the best and most loyal dog. You taught me so much about love — the kind that shows up every single day, no matter what. I’ll never forget the way you greeted me like I’d been gone for years, even if it was just five minutes. The house feels quieter without you, but my heart is fuller because of you. Thank you for choosing us as your people. Thank you for your loyalty, your joy, and the way you made even ordinary days feel special. You were never ‘just a dog’ — you were my comfort, my shadow, my best friend. I will carry you with me always. Until we meet again big buddy ❤️

My sweet Silky...I miss you so much, my big babydog. I'm not sure how to move forward. You were the one who got me through those times and now you're gone. No more kisses on the hand when I open the door, no more hug invasions, and no more face sniffs w little tiny kisses. You are the sweetest soul that ever lived. Your love and presence were so big and you never met anyone who didn't love you back. How I looked forward to your face every day, your leans and puppy-like spirit that you kept right through your last day. Losing you is unbearable, but I hope you feel better and are up there playing and tussling w your beloved big sister. She was your world and if you had to leave mine I need to believe you are together again. I will look up for you every day Silk, w a broken heart, I will be grateful for every minute you gave me. Be at peace, sweet girl.

Our sweet little boy, Doolie, passed over the rainbow bridge on February 16, 2026 at 14 1/2 years old. A piece of our hearts went up to Heaven when Doolie did. There was no love like the kind of love Doolie always gave us. He loved unconditionally, and he loved anyone and everyone that crossed paths with him. Doolie’s soul was nothing but pure, unconditional love. Doolie was the epitome of happiness and true love - he was always smiling, jumping around, in good spirits, and always showing love to those who meant the most to him. We want to focus on the memories Doolie would want us to remember - the happy ones. He was king of the zoomies, especially before going to bed. He would run multiple laps up and down the upstairs hallway, barking and growling, and with the biggest smile on his face. Doolie also loved going for walks in his dog stroller - whether it was in the neighborhood, or simply up and down our driveway, he loved the fresh air, and sometimes even took naps in his stroller during his walks. He also loved laying in his stroller when we would all sit outside in the summertime. He was a fashionista, always having a fancy diaper on. Whether it was dinosaurs, lions, or his pair of “jeans”, he was always stylish. Doolie had the most beautiful, precious smile that would shine when he was genuinely happy. Because of his old age, some of his bottom teeth were missing, but this made us fall in love with his smile even more. Doolie always gave what we called “delayed kisses” - whenever you kissed Doolie, he would wait a second or two, then lick. We had Doolie come in the pool with us a couple times, and he loved being able to swim! During the spring and summer, he absolutely loved laying on his black mat by the slider door in the sun. His fur would get so warm - he loved it so much, but he didn’t do a very good job getting a tan, as you can see by his bright white fur. You could always find Doolie in one of his favorite spots - on the left corner of the couch, on his black mat by the slider door, his woobie by the window, or his ultimate favorite - his mom’s bed, which we called his “ni ni bed”. He loved going to see Christmas lights in the car, and would look out the window to see all of them. Doolie wasn’t just any regular Bichon, he was famous - he had a few TV appearances! He was featured on our local TV stations “how was your weekend” segment twice! Despite loving his naps and relaxation time, Doolie was always a big help to his mom and sissy. Whenever Carly (his sissy) was doing her homework for school on her computer, Doolie always sat right beside her in the living room. He would also help his mom fold laundry - by sitting on top of all the clothes. Doolie’s favorite meals were chicken, hamburger, prime rib, steak - he always ate like a king! While the happy moments mean so much to us, we also cherish the quiet, simple everyday memories he gave us. His daily presence in our lives - hearing his paws as he walked around the house, seeing him curled up taking a nap on one of his many beds, getting his random zoomies, sitting in rooms with us as we did everyday tasks, and hearing his bark when he saw an animal outside - usually deer, are all things we will miss dearly. The silence is loud, and his absence is felt heavily, but we know that the constant love he showed us will heal our hearts as we remember all of the incredible, fun, amazing, silly, happy memories we have had with him over 14 1/2 years. He was the most caring, loving, spunky, happy, funny, resilient, strong, faithful, loyal, and most amazing little boy we could have ever asked for. We know that Doolie may have only been a part of a couple chapters of our stories, but it was a blessing to be a part of his entire novel. No dog will ever be able to replace our Doolie - he is, and always will be, one of a kind. We love you beyond words could ever articulate, Doolie. May God heal you from your pain, and may your little, gentle soul rest in eternal peace ❤️
