In Loving Memory

Almost 5 years ago we “rescued” Humphrey but anyone that knows us, can attest that he really was the one that rescued me. His unconditional love, his calm demeanor, unruffled by any of the nonsense that came in and out of our crazy house, has been an anchor. He’s been watching out for me and taking care of me for years and I can’t picture this house, this life without him in it.

Murphy Boy you are missed very much! Last night was so different. We are all sad; however we knew you were in pain. Til we see you again!

For my sweet, loving and crazy, Breezy girl.

We are so lucky to have had the best dog in the world. He truly was one of a kind. Crosby helped raise our kids, and our family won’t be the same without him. He always knew he was loved, because every time we walked past him, we made sure to tell him. He was that kind of dog.

My number one forever and always ❤️

To our dear, sweet Mocha - thank you for making us your family. We are so grateful that you are no longer in pain and are running free with your signature little smile. We will miss you every single day, until the moment we are all reunited again. We love you more than you could ever know.

Goodbye to my beautiful girl of 20 years. Thank you for every cuddle and every moment of love. My mornings will never be the same without you.

VAYA CON DIOS MI AMOR We had awesome times and you left the world loved. Go jump over the rainbow where there is no pain. Rest in peace Lola. I will love you forever! I am so grateful you came to me 13 years ago. 🐕 🌈

Ringo, you came to me at eight years old, a retired sleddog, from Smoking Aces Kennel in Two Rivers, Alaska. Once we got to know each other, we were best friends. I even figured out how to bring you home when you'd run off. Then we started traveling together and you were the best companion. You put up with a lot of my crap and deserved so much more of my time than you got. With my work, travels, and Army commitments, we were apart almost as much as we were together. I even drove to Alaska to bring your littermate Dusty to keep you company, but ol' Dusty passed away a couple years later. You became anxious, but you were still a great dog, and everyone loved you. I'm haunted by the idea that you never felt safe away from your pack, but you did your best, and we made a pretty good team. Now it's been more than two years and I still can't bring myself to get another dog. I'm not even sure why. You weren't my first dog, or even my best dog, but you're the one that took up my whole heart. I hope everything that made you special still exists somewhere, and we'll find each other again someday. I still miss you buddy.

Sonnie The Great…just as simple as that. Sonnie you left me but I know you are now running free and made whole. You are the most amazing lil guy and I was honored to be able to love you and take care of you all these years. 17 years is a lot of years to love me and I want to thank you SO MUCH for giving me that love so unconditionally. Thank you my lil Sonnie, mi nino bonito, thank you for loving me. You will be missed more than you will ever know and I know you are made whole now and you are playing, running, eating, and just being the bossy big little guy that you are. Thank you so much for your love Sonnie. You are missed and loved for all infinity…I LOVE YOU SONNIE!
