In Loving Memory

In loving memory of our sweet Brody! You filled our hearts with love and made our house a home. You’ll forever be in our hearts. Thank you for loving us so much!

My sweet, beautiful girl, you were so loved on earth and you are so loved in our memories of you. We know we will see you soon somewhere that is overwhelmingly beautiful, where old age and pain can never touch you again. You meant the world to us, and I am so blessed to have spent as much time with you as I got to. I feel so lucky to have been loved and taught by you, and we will always hold you like you are still here with us. We know you will visit and we will always feel your presence, and we will always keep a space open for you when we go for rides or walks. I know that every time I round the corner, come in the house, lay in bed, or get in the car, you will be there with me, holding your sweet face out for me to scratch. Every time I play music, I know you will be listening, napping in the sunniest spot in the room. We promise that we will never forget you and we will always remember that your life had so much purpose, even if we didn’t have you nearly as long as we wished. I love that I was your safe place when you were feeling hurt or ill, and will never forget how comfortable you made me feel when I was. You mean the world to us and always will, your mom and dad and pumpkin love you little niknik.

Lulu Fishpaw - beloved family member - she brought more love and happiness to our lives. Phillip and I will always be grateful for the 10 years of happiness she shared with us. Forever in our hearts.

Mason you will truly be missed. You were my sidekick and is hard not having you me. I know that you are in a better place with no pain.

Dexter will truly be missed and not just by us but by many friends who have loved him over the years. 15 years with your dog is a blessing but it also leaves an indescribable emptiness. Dexter was adopted at 4 months old. He was always sweet, a hyper puppy and a very loyal friend. He’s been there since before the birth of our two youngest children and they don’t know life without him. He was very loved and they took amazing care of him in his final weeks. Dexter was very social and happy and enjoyed being outside with our family in the yard or going on car rides. He loved to mark his territory every where he went and he never passed a treat. The only reason he did not counter surf was simply due to his short legs! But Iris always helped him with that. Dexter was a very loving caretaker to his two younger dog babies, adopted years after him, always cleaning them and cuddling with them. Dexter followed his dad around 24/7 room to room and always waited outside the bathroom door for him to return, lol. He loved to bark at dogs on the tv or any animal he seemed to deem a threat. He never wandered far in his many excursions with Iris and roscoe on their breakouts. Dexter leaves behind many broken hearts and so many amazing, loving, funny and cherished memories that we wish we could continue to make. A dog friend is a friend for life. We will not forget this best friend and will forever miss his presence.

13 years, four moves, two kids, and one puppy, Tink has been there for so many big life changes. The best of the best- independent, sassy, playful, and always gentle with our boys. Our hearts are sad but we are happy knowing she is no longer in pain. We know she’s across that rainbow bridge happy & healthy and probably already has a great sunbathing spot. What a gift it was to have her for 13 years. We’ll love and miss you always, Tinks.

My sweet Toby boy was my loving companion, my best friend and copilot. We were an inseparable team. He will always have a part of my heart.

Pete, you were my best friend and constant companion. I have loved you with all of my heart. In return you made me laugh and smile more rimes than I can count. Finding you and your cute floppy ears that sometimes stood up, or your classic one ear up move, was the best thing that ever happened to me. You changed my life, and for the better. Not sure how to live without you my sweet boy. Just when I think the tears have stopped, here they come again. You really were a special dog who had some many friends. You were not a big dog but you did big things. Thank you for choosing me and for being my partner the last 14 years. I love you Pete and I’ve no doubt you are in heaven!

I love you my princess Maya

We all miss you so incredibly much Bean. I can feel your absence in my bones. It’s been almost four months and it hasn’t gotten easier. I eagerly await the day when the memory of you won’t make me ache. You will always be my soul dog and I think about you every day.
