In Loving Memory

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

We loved Jazzy for her spunky attitude, her fierce loyalty, and her funny aloofness. She was a huge part of our little family.

We will never be able to express how special Rex was to our family. He was the greatest companion we ever could have wished for. We often speak of Rex as the 'Classic Farm Dog'. He knew all of the tricks, and never forgot where to find a free meal or snack. He was a loving dog with the warmest, sweetest brown eyes. As we started our family he was always kind and gentle to our daughters. He protected and guarded our house with perfect watch dog instincts. We always thought that you could have either a farm dog, OR a dog that slept in bed with you at night; Rex was so special he had it both ways- we couldn't say no even if he was filthy after days of farm life. Now that he is gone we are left with sadness but know that the happiest of memories will shine bright forever. He was the perfect dog for us, and we will always love and remember him.

We had to say goodbye to our big goofball of a cuddle monkey, Koda-man, yesterday. He gave us 13 years of unconditional love, cuddles, excitement, chaos, and joy. Fur babies bring the most joy and light into a family and home. I know he is now pain-free playing with his cousins, Maxwell, and Sybil… and that brings me comfort. To all who knew Koda or watched him through my posts and pics, know he loved the attention and belly rubs!

My sweet baby Ace not a day goes by that I don’t think about you. I miss you in ways words can’t even explain. Every breath, every step, every choice I make down here.. I carry you with me. I’m living this life for you, for the love we didn’t get enough time to share. I hope you feel me when I talk to you, when I cry, when i think of you, when I smile for the first time in a while. You are my heart in heaven, my strength on earth, and my forever reason. I love you more than this world can hold, and I’ll honor you for the rest of my life.

I miss your companionship and sassyness. Will miss you forever!!! Love always

I will love you forever my sweet angel baby.

Ranger Thank you for all the joy you gave us these past twelve years. Whenever we pass Lucky's Steakhouse in Imlay City, the location in which the breeder met us to pick you up so we can take you to your new home, we joyfully say that this is where our lives were changed forever. Things will never be the same without you as you have been a part of this family. Losing you is like losing a child. But you earned a spot in my heart that will live until I die.

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.
