In Loving Memory

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

Nekko, you will always be my baby. You are the best boy.

I love you my Lucky boy; you were the best puppas I ever had, the only boy I ever loved; my buddy, my best friend, my listening ear, my soft baby. I loved your fur so much; you were so soft, the most beautiful golden white, soft and curly. You were my papas best friend; his little buddy and most loyal companion. You did your job and you did it astonishingly. I miss your presence and the places you sit; the routines my father and I had for you; the tail wags and the way you would get excited when I said good morning to you. Your routine of waking up at 6 in the morning, waiting for those magic words “time to go bye bye!”; every single time you jumped out of bed, ready to go. I would beg my father to leave you home some days because of how much you loved to go with him and how much he loved taking you; your bond with him was inseparable. I remember being young, 13 years ago, wanting a puppy; my dad was completely against the idea, saying he never wanted another dog after losing his other ones years ago; rest in peace Beti and Annie. I remember getting you for Easter as a present in Florida from my mother and my aunt at a flea market; my father thought you looked so ugly, haha; but that little ugly duckling turned into the most beautiful swan; the handsomest boy I ever saw. I miss your wittiness; your brain; those big beautiful brown eyes that looked right into your soul. You understood everything we said; every single word; with one little head tilt, we knew you understood us. Even though you were “just a dog,” you were so much more to us; you were family. Splenic cancer is awful; an evil thing created from all the hate in the world. Even when you were sick you still had so much life in you; you fought so hard for 6 weeks until you couldn’t anymore. I still feel the weight and guilt of my decision; but deep down I know it was right. After you passed, I asked for a sign; you sent us an owl; a symbol of transition, protection, and the presence of loved ones watching over us. You sent us a medium too, who told us that you were okay and protecting us. We will miss your protection over our house; your barks and howls; your little paws running around our home; your zoomies; the way you loved to run before something evil took that from you. You welcomed another puppy into our life last year and loved her so much; you were the best mentor for her. She learned so much from you; and I promise we will take good care of her. She still lays on your pillow; the same pillow you rested on one last time before my father took you into his arms to sleep forever. I love you my Lucky boy; my sweet puppas; my baby boy; forever and always. Thank you for everything since 2013.

I love and miss you so much Brandon. You were the best gift ever. Such a sweet boy, and always making sure I was proud of you.

We love you so much Sasha. Thank you for all the love and joy you brought up for 12 years and 19 days! Thank you for taking care of us when we were sick, comforting us when we were sad, and for always greeting us with unconditional love every single day. We will always remember you. We hope we will all get to be together again one day on the other side. Say hi to Payton for us. We love and miss you both very much.

Oh Gangster, I can't believe you are gone. I can't believe I won't see you tossing your hedgehogs into the air and catching them, getting the zoomies in Danielle's backyard, or whining for treats in the kitchen, trying to use your Jedi mind tricks on me as you stare up at the treat cabinet. You loved me without reserve - you gave me love that I did not deserve - and I will never ever forget you.

Beanie, we loved you so much and you will always be in my heart. I will see you at the Rainbow Bridge. Please wait for me.

🌈 In Loving Memory of Tinkerbell Our Wiggle-Nub Baby Crossed the Rainbow Bridge on December 2, 2025 – 10:40 a.m. Tinkerbell wasn’t just our dog; she was the heartbeat of our home. A tiny body with a mighty spirit, she filled our lives with 15 years of unwavering loyalty, goofy sweetness, and that signature wiggle-nub that could brighten even the hardest days. She had a way of knowing when we needed comfort, curling up beside us like she was stitching our hearts back together with her presence alone. She loved fiercely, forgave easily, and showed us every day what pure, unconditional love looks like. Her final days were tender and full of gratitude. We held her, whispered our love, and made sure she left this world wrapped in the same safety and warmth she gave us her entire life. Letting her go was the hardest thing we’ve ever done, but loving her was one of the greatest gifts we’ll ever know. Our home feels quieter now, the space she filled impossibly large. But her spirit is everywhere: in the soft spots on the couch, in the jingling of a memory, in the way our hearts still turn toward the sound of her. We will forever miss her little paws, her bright eyes, her gentle soul. But more than anything, we are grateful. Honored. Truly blessed to have been her family. Run free, sweet Tink. We’ll carry you with us always.

Sherlock, You remain forever in our memories and in our hearts, you “crazy hound dog”!

Pigeon was part of our family since she was only 8 weeks old. Over the years she brought us boundless joy and laughter. She had the biggest personality and her love of playing fetch was unrivaled. Anyone who has ever visited our home was greeted with a ball to toss. She was famous for demanding food by saying, "woo woo woo" and stamping her feet or threatening to scratch something precious of ours. She was smart, confident and athletic. She could catch any ball mid air, she loved popping bubbles and had a profound hatred for void fill packaging bubble wrap and the fly swatter. On walks she was always out front, leading the way for me and our other dog Wren. She loved to sun bath and thought cicadas were a very fun toy up until they stopped buzzing. She meant so much to my kids who grew up with this ball of energy as our family pet, confidant and companion during tough times.. We will miss her dearly but she's in our hearts forever.
