In Loving Memory

We will miss you Rockstar!

Sochi was my best friend and my shadow. Our protector. He loved his family with everything and we loved him right back. Our heart will forever be missing a little piece.

I hope you’re getting all the cuddles you require and the biggest yard to roam, run and explore up there

Mongo was my rock thru some of the toughest days of my life. I hope he knows how much joy he brought our family and how deeply he was loved!

How do you say goodbye to someone who knew your heart without ever needing you to explain it? Kingston, you knew us. You knew when we were happy. You knew when something was wrong. You knew when we needed you close. And somehow, without anyone asking, you always seemed to know exactly when we needed one of your kisses. I would give anything for one more of those kisses now. One more moment of looking into your eyes and knowing that you understood me in that quiet, beautiful way that only you could. One more time hearing you move around the house. One more time calling your name and seeing you look back at me. One more ordinary day that I didn't know I would someday desperately wish I could have back. The house may still look the same, but it doesn't feel the same without you in it. There is an emptiness where you should be. I keep thinking about all the times you needed me, especially at the end. I wanted so badly to make everything better. I wanted to take away every hurt, every fear, every moment of discomfort. If love alone could have healed you, Kingston, you would have lived forever. But when I could no longer make your body better, I could still make sure you weren't alone. So I stayed. And I loved you through the hardest goodbye of my life. I hope that in your final moments, beneath all the pain and exhaustion, you still knew us. I hope you knew the voices that had spoken your name a thousand times. I hope you felt the people who had loved you your entire life beside you. And more than anything, I hope you knew that every decision we made was because we loved you more than we knew how to say. You spent your life knowing when we needed comfort. In the end, all we wanted was to give that comfort back to you. I don't know what I'm going to do with all the moments when I instinctively look for you. I don't know who is going to know that I need a kiss before I even realize I need one myself. But I know this: There will never be another Kingston. You weren't "just a dog." You were part of our family, part of our routines, part of our happiest memories, and part of who we became. You left paw prints in places no one else could ever reach. And now you've taken a piece of my heart with you. Sleep peacefully, my sweet Kingston. If love can follow you wherever you are, then you are surrounded by it. And if somehow you can still know when I need one of your kisses... I need one now. Forever yours. Forever loved. Forever missed. Kingston.

My Best Boy! 🖤

We will greatly miss our precious Trooper who was a 15yr old German Shephard

Thank you for everything, Martha Avonlea. Your joy, love, playfulness, fortitude, and courage enriched my life beyond measure. Until we meet again, you blessed girl, sweet dreams.

We love you sweet boy and always will! Always ❤️

Oreo, I will love you forever. You brought us so much joy. We'll miss your feisty hind leg kicks, the way you snuggled so close, the perking of your satellite dish ears. My sweet, sweet boy -- thank you for 9 years of memories and love.
