In Loving Memory

In loving memory of Skye Zelda 2015-2025 To those that knew Skye, she was a sweet and attention loving dog with a big heart and a lot of love for everyone she met. To toys, she was a squeaker seeking hunter. Skye passed peacefully on 11/12/2025, surrounded by loving family after a long life filled with love, good food, and many adventures. Born 2015, Skye came into her life with her family as a hasty decision that turned out to be the best friend anyone could ever ask for. She would be there to cheer anyone who might be sad with her kisses and cuddles, and always had the ability to bring joy to any room she entered. She is preceded in passing by her cat brothers Cloud and Smoke, and her dog brother Oliver. She is survived by her loving father, her mother, and her companion Balor. Skye will be remembered for her serial attempts to give all she met French kisses, even after diabetes took her eyesight, her sweet and soothing personality, and her proclivity for always bringing joy to those around her. In her final days, Skye loved and was loved. Even in pain, she found the strength bring comfort to her family and veterinary professionals caring for her. On her day of passing, she enjoyed a hand-fed breakfast of delicious turkey and whipped cream and was held close by her surviving father as she passed peacefully. A private mourning is held at her home, in lieu of condolences, the family asks that mourners take the time and effort to give extra love and treats to their pets, and to choose to bring greater joy to the world around them, as Skye did for those she met. Mourners are also encouraged to donate to research for canine diabetes to allow pet parents to have as long as possible with their fluffy children.

One of the best members of our family, Boonedock will be so missed. He was a smart, determined, playful, and loving companion right up to the end.

We love you Ruby girl! We will miss you every day.

Bella was the best dog ever. I got her when I was 12 and that age is so difficult already and she helped me through so many hard times and so many good times everyone loved her that came to our house even people that didn’t like dogs said that she’s their favorite. She was the real “gentle giant” never showed any sign of aggression always was there for us when we needed her and followed me around everywhere in the house and slept with me every night.

Page was the best dog in world. I will miss you every day, sweet boy. I love you so much. You are in my heart forever.

Wero, my little hunter with a big heart. The house is quieter without your spirit, but my heart is full of your love.

Our sweet Jax filled our lives with joy from the moment he was born. He was pure love in a soft, furry body—always ready to share affection and be close. His boundless energy brought life to every room. Whether he was chasing balls in the yard, playing tug-of-war, or de-fluffing his favorite toys, Jax’s happiness was contagious. He had the kindest heart and was happiest just spending time with those he loved. You could always count on him being near you, or somewhere close, curled up in his favorite blanket. Jax was also the best at welcoming us home, whether with barks or a toy in his mouth, ready for whatever came next—as long as he could be by our side. Home feels quieter without his paws, but his spirit and love are everywhere. We were so lucky to have him, to be loved by him, and to share our lives with such a loyal, loving soul. Rest peacefully, sweet Jax. You will always be in our hearts.

My sweet baby boy, Collin. I miss you so much already. I'll always have a greenie saved for you. Momma loves you! Please enjoy your time at the rainbow bridge, until we can be together again!

Our dear sweet Coco, we miss you so much already and always will. The squirrels and chipmunks of doggy heaven beware! You were the sweetest, cuddliest, most loyal pooch. Thank you for helping me in the hardest season and for being happy to see me each day. Thank you for teaching me how to courageously fight to the last breath. You enlarged our hearts and taught us that love always wins. Roco misses you too. We all love you forever.
