In Loving Memory

Shaggy you were the best friend anyone could wish for. RIP my friend

Maci came into our family when she was only 5 weeks old, and from that moment on, she wasn’t just a dog, she was our sister. I had wanted a dog for as long as I could remember, and she became everything a little girl could have ever hoped for and more. She completed our family in ways we never knew were missing. She had an incredible life filled with love, comfort, and joy, and she returned that love tenfold by being the sweetest and fiercest little girl. She loved food and would have eaten everything in sight if we let her. But what she loved most was home. Not just the house- the living room, the smells always coming from the kitchen, the familiar sounds of her family nearby, and her favorite bed. That was her entire universe, and she was happiest right there in the middle of it. She had the biggest personality packed into the smallest body; sweet, protective, and endlessly loving. She loved to run and play with her toys, especially her favorite poodle beanie baby, “Lyssi.” She went through at least ten Lyssis in her lifetime, because she loved her so hard she destroyed them all. Lyssi never stood a chance, until the last one, but we replaced her every time because watching her happiness was so worth it. I truly believe Maci was my soul dog, and her absence has left a permanent scar on my heart. I will always believe she was the dog I prayed for and asked God for as a little girl. My days revolved around taking care of her or rushing home to see her smiling face. Now my heart feels broken without her, but I am endlessly grateful for the fourteen beautiful years I got with my sweet girl. Our home already looks and feels different. I hope time and prayer will help me find my way through this grief, because I don’t know how else to. If love alone could have kept her here, she would have lived forever. Maci gave me more than companionship- she gave me purpose, comfort, and a love that will never leave me. She may be gone from my arms, but she will live in my heart for the rest of my life, until the day I get to hold her again. My happy girl, my sweet girl, my Maci girl.

Brewster, Mommy and daddy miss you more than you can imagine, but I know you are no longer in pain. Fly high my baby boy and continue to shine from up above. One day we will be reunited.

Dearest friend, thank you for the time you spent with us. You became a part of our family the moment you came home. Rest easy and we will see you again soon.

Zoey ‘Moo Moo’ Tanghe earned her angel wings on December 5, 2025. For 13 beautiful years, she was our constant comfort, our nighttime cuddle buddy, and the sweetest soul we could ever have hoped for. She slept on our necks, purred away our worries, and filled our home with a love that can never be replaced. We will carry her forever in our hearts.

Winston (Win-Man, Winnie-boy) July 6th 2023 - December 5th 2025. Winston was a calm and soothing presence in my home, more than a-lot of people would like to think, but if you were to describe what an ESA actually was, he would fit the description perfectly. However, he was never made an ESA for myself (cue laugh track). Winston was a glowing beacon of love and had plenty more to offer and give to whoever gave him pets and attention. There is a hole in my home that is hard to describe, the house feels empty but Winston was never too loud, never too hidden, but you always knew he was home. We miss you my sweet sweet boy, and we’re all sending you all the pets in the world, Winston. We love you more than our hearts can show!

We had the joy of being Matthew’s parents for 11 years and during that time he was such a delightful character with surprises everyday. He would open the blinds to see out, and dance to go outside on the back deck. He slept in the sink, on the bed, in the window or wherever he felt comfortable. Our boy was so affectionate and loving and always knew when we needed an extra measure of his love. We miss him so much 💔💔💔💔 our hearts are broken, but Matthew missed his brother Tobias so much after he passed last December. I am sure Tobias and Matthew are together again on the other side of the rainbow bridge running and playing again the way they use to. We miss both our boys but we are happy they can be together again.

He loved and was loved.

Our sweet little lady, Miss Molly. You entered my life when I was only 11 and you stayed with me through some of the scariest stages and growing pains of my life. You were the sweetest ball of fluff, always following us around and begging for some ice cream, rubbing her head against everyone for pets and snuggles, and sniffing out the warmest patches of sunlight to nap in. You gave my dad a light to take care of when I had to move out for college. You were so loved and the house doesn’t feel the same without you. I know you’re waddling around looking for a can of tuna across the rainbow bridge, now. Thank you for being the sweetest girl in the world.

Uzi was adopted at 3 years old from the Miami Dade animal shelter. He was on the euthanasia list because he was labeled “aggressive”. Uzi was far from aggressive but the biggest love bug who just needed the proper love and patience. Uzi was loved by many, always stood by my side, and gave endless affection 🥹 Forever in our hearts our big Uzi boy 🫶🏼
