In Loving Memory

Wow… so many memories. I am truly going to miss you. You had a personality like no other — loving, full of energy, and always ready to cuddle. It was a blessing to spend 14 years with such an incredible pup. You were full of love and definitely a dog of royalty… wet food only! Never dry unless there was absolutely no other choice — LOL. Thank you for being a part of my life. I learned so much from you and carry so many memories that I will never forget. Your illness came so suddenly, and I really thought we had so much more time. I’m grateful you knew how much I loved you — even when I didn’t let you on the furniture. My love for you ran deep. Losing Toby and then you, weeks apart, has been some of the hardest grief I’ve ever experienced. I miss you both so much. I’m going to miss singing “Bentley” in that high pitch just to hear you yelp back with joy. Those little moments meant everything. I’m thankful you got to meet my son Aziah. We now have forever memories I will cherish for the rest of my life. If love alone could have kept you here, you would still be here. I know the decision that had to be made came from love, because no one wanted to see you in pain. Watch over us, Baby Bentley. You were loved deeply, and you will be missed beyond words. I’ll miss our walks, your excitement for treats, and even you stealing Toby’s treats for yourself. I love you forever. And I truly believe I’ll see you again on the other side.

The coolest little dude and the best nap buddy.

Thank you for showing me how beautiful the bond between species can be. Thank you for being nothing but a loving and kind soul, by both dog and human standards. You will always be the best. See ya next time around Laz

Today I lost my best friend, my Tom Tom. No words can explain the hole in my heart and his paw prints forever imprinted on my soul. I know over time the hole in my heart with be filled with the happiness of memories of our boy as we heal and honor him. Tom will never truly be gone and will live in our hearts forever. You are pain free and strong again my baby boy. I love you Tom. 🐾 💚🪽🌈

Tova I love you dearly. The Lord took you back to be with him. You helped me so much and I thank Jesus for our time together.

I’ll miss you forever, my sweet little one eyed wonder. Your life was never easy but it was so full. Cali boy and I will never be the same without you.

Kitty… my best friend for 21 years and forever. I would do anything to have more of our happy days together. Sitting in a nice warm sunny room watching our favorite movies and tv shows. I knew the day that you would have to leave was coming, but it didn’t make it any easier. I know you may have been hiding and faking the pain you were in until you physically couldn’t anymore. Maybe because you didn’t want me to worry… I love you with all my heart and tried to give you the best life but that will never feel like enough. I gave you my heart and you took a chunk of it with you when you left, and I would do it all again. While that chunk of my heart is gone and won’t come back, I can only hope that I can grow some of it back someday. I love you and miss you everyday sweet girl.❤️

Our sweet Leia! We will miss you and you will always be our first baby!

This is one of the hardest posts I have had to post. It feels like my heart has been ripped from my chest….. You have taught me so much. You have taught me responsibility, loyalty, bravery, and an unconditional love that is comparable. That April morning 2011 when I picked you up I only thought I knew the true meaning of love. Little did I know that I was going to be schooled for the next 14 years. Each and every day was a new adventure, hiking through the trails and battle fields, boating in Iowa, kayaking down the Potomac River, flying on airplanes, fishing, the endless miles we drove, the endless peanut butter containers you would walk around with, the amazing walks on the beach, ice cream trips, frisbee golf while you would run from shade tree to shade tree, sitting back eating pizza, the random pizza crust that you would hide for month at a time and come walking in the room with, endless snuggles, playing in the snow, and even the prostitute you tried to pick up our first day in DC. I will truly miss all of these moments, but I think the beach, snuggles, and drives I will miss you the most. You would always wake up and stand on my console to see where we were and lick me on the cheek to make sure I was awake. It was like you always knew where we were before even sticking your head out of the window. I wish we had more time, but I’m glad you’re not hurting anymore. My heart will always have a missing piece that can never be filled. You have touched so many hearts throughout the years. I hope you knew how much I love you. Rest easy my little buddy. Your job here is done. Tank and I will be ok. Thank you for being such an amazing pup. I love you bubba to heaven and back. Now go be with Chipper, Maggie, Riley, Chance, and Sassy. Your birthday was 6th of April 2011. You took your last breath lying in grass with your head in my hands surrounded with love at 3:09 pm 16th of February 2026.

June was my comfort on the hardest days — the licker of my tears, the brave barker at the leaf blower, and my steady emotional support. In her small body lived the biggest heart. I will carry her love with me always.
