I knew it was coming, but I thought we had longer. You were so happy the day before, the happiest I’d seen you in a long time. You called to me quietly that night for the last time. I’m so glad I called back and added, “I love you, Mickey.”

Everyone is devastated. When I walked you around to the flock...

This weekend we lost Bella, our 12-year-old Newfie/Lab mix. She was a big, beautiful dog who loved the water, and a huge piece of our family is missing now. She is irreplaceable and our hearts are broken. Rest in peace, Bella! ❤️

In loving memory of Tabitha

From a tiny kitten to a constant 18-year companion, Tabitha stayed by my side through four moves and every season of life. He outlived two dear feline housemates but enjoyed soaking up all the attention for himself during his final year. The friendliest cat I’ve ever known, he greeted us at the door without fail. His...

It is with broken hearts that we share the sudden passing of our beloved golden retriever, Goldie. Though her time with us was far too short, the love, laughter, and joy she brought into our lives will echo in our home—and our hearts—forever.

Today we say goodbye to our dog, who never met a closed bedroom door she couldn’t conquer. No latch, lock, or barrier stood between her and a soft bed.

She was fueled by treats, powered by sunshine, and could nap like it was a full-time...

Zoey was such a funny, lovable part of our family. She grew up alongside all of us, filling our home with joy, laughter, and so many unforgettable memories. When she wasn’t begging for table scraps with her puppy dog eyes she always loved to play a good game of tug o war. Nothing made us smile more than her burst...

We said goodbye to Dobbie on August 20, 2025.He was our son Kyle's pup and was named "Dobbie" because of his floppy ears that resembled Dobbie the house elf in the Harry Potter movies. When Kyle passed, we had the opportunity to adopt him on the very same day we brought home a rescued Border/Heeler we named "Stormy". Those two...

YOU WERE MORE THAN A PET—YOU WERE FAMILY.

EVERY DAY, YOU GREETED US LIKE IT WAS THE BEST PART OF YOUR DAY, TAIL WAGGING, HEART WIDE OPEN. YOU MADE OUR HOUSE FEEL LIKE HOME. WHETHER IT WAS CURLING UP BESIDE US DURING QUIET NIGHTS OR REFUSING TO SIT STILL FOR A SINGLE PICTURE, YOU FILLED OUR LIVES WITH WARMTH, LAUGHTER, AND...
