Aurora Anderson
Nov 26, 2025
Aurora was a beautiful Nigerian Dwarf goat. We had her for two short, but wonderful years. I remember how cuddly she was when we brought her home from the breeder.

Koda

Koda was truly the best dog, the kind who could brighten any day just by being himself.

He had a couch spot that...

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...
