In Loving Memory

Our Sweetest baby Joey, first and foremost, we want to say thank you for allowing us the privilege of getting to know your sweet soul for 14 beautiful years. You have taken an irreplaceable piece of our hearts with you. Joey, you’ve really taught us what it means to be a true friend through ups and downs, you taught us to forgive and forget, and you’ve taught us to enjoy the little things in life. Our sweet boy who would greet us at the door with so much joy, who would do groceries/takeout bag check as soon as we walk inside the house, who would bark to sit at the dinner table and share a meal together, who was be mom and dads sous chef, who would place their handsome sweet face on our laps or chest when we are feeling down as if you were saying "it’ll all be OK". Bubs, you were like the glue to our family. You kept us united, and your hard work will not go in vain. It is now up to us to keep moving forward with all you’ve taught us and the beautiful memories you’ve left us with. To say we will miss you is such a huge understatement but yes we will dearly miss your sweet kisses, wet nose boops, sparkling beaming eyes, tender beautiful smile, holding your warm paws, petting your soft and gentle fluffy coat, your silly personality that never failed to put a smile on your families faces but most of all Joey we will miss you as our sweetest little baby that we would explore with, play with, cry with, sing with, and laugh with. We love you so much papash. - Forever and always your family, Papi, Mami, and your sisters.

Kona, you’re the sweetest pup we know. Everyone you met instantly adored you. You taught us one of the most important things in life, unconditional love. I’ll never take for granted the love I’m given because I’d do absolutely anything to receive yours again. You’re forever in our hearts pup, the strong, sweet, loving, and sleepy man we all know. Until we meet again angel. I love you forever kona.

My dear sweet, big beautiful boy Hugo - I will miss your eyes, how you looked at me, our communication without words, your humor, intelligence, playfulness and the gentle pressure of your head against my leg telling me to stop whatever human thing I was doing, to just be in the moment with you. We had more difficult transitions over our 13.5 years together than I can count - but thru the multiple interstate moves, COVID lockdown, and other stress and trauma dealt to me or our family, you helped me get through it all. You gave me strength and helped me grow wiser, healthier and more resilient. I cannot imagine who I would be today without you. And most importantly, you helped me bring a little boy into my life, providing him therapy as much as me and becoming his fur brother and friend. Later, in your work with the Association of Therapy Dogs and Therapaws of Michigan, you touched so many people - especially the young readers in the library where you patiently listened to each child read you a story. Thank you for your love and all you gave, every day. Thank you for being there for me. You will always have a piece of my heart. I promise to carry on doing the things you taught me to do. I will carry you with me and love you always.

Kaiser was one of the sweetest dogs. We are hoping that he is pain free and chasing squirrels with his sister Kami. We sure do miss you bud.

The only thing bigger than Leias attitude was her heart. The stubbornest girl, my sweetest girl.

Remington you were my whole world.

We will always miss you, Ferocious.

I love and miss Milo so much, he was such a handsome precious boy❤️

Noëlle was the sweetest boy. I’ll miss his love, his morning face licks, and his absolute obsession with people. He was a constant companion, and I will hold him him my heart forever. I’m so grateful for every purr, every jump, and every meow. 😻

We miss you so much. You are our furry kid. We are so sorry that you were in pain. We know that you are no longer in pain and that we will see you again one day in heaven.
