"Barkley saved us as much as we saved him. He was so loving to everyone. Family or visitor he knew if you needed extra comfort and he was more than happy to give it. He took his treats so pretty, almost licking them out between your fingers. He wasn’t a crotch sniffer nor did he jump up on visitors. We work from home and he ‘worked’ with Daddy everyday and took his ‘breaks’ with him too. Barkley would lay in the backyard while the birds ate from the feeders and squirrels and rabbits ran around him, we called them his friends. He will be so very missed. Shantelle helped make every minute count all the way to the end. "

"Cooper was the sweetest, best, loving, ball loving, freckle footed, wiggle butt - we will miss him dearly. Job well done Coopie!"

"We rescued Delilah Bell when she was 2 months old, not knowing that she would bless our family with so much love for the next 8 years. She had such a quirky, unique personality; from greeting us every single day with love and kisses right when we walked into the door to keeping her crazy older dog brother in check. She was even so food driven that she'd do anything for a treat and would anticipate ours and her brother's next moves, in hopes someone would leave a scrap of food behind. Besides food, she also loved to play guard in the yard, ensuring no squirrels or rabbits were trespassing, running around so happy in the process. Despite these qualities though, she hated loud noises and would instantly run to her dad for safety. We were her safe haven, as she was ours.

Though we could go on and on about what we loved about her, the best thing about her was her unconditional love. You could be having the worst day and she'd be right there and before you knew it, the day wasn't that bad after all. Delilah gave our family more than we could ever have asked for, she was more than just a dog - she was family and her and her happy dances will always hold a place in our hearts. With that being said, though we did rescue her, I truly believe she rescued us in the end. She showed us what unconditional love felt like and we like to think we gave her that too during her time on earth.

Until next time, Pitty girl."

"Murphy crossed over the rainbow bridge on his Golden Sweet 16th birthday. It was THE hardest decision I have ever had to make. He took a piece of my heart with him. He has been my world since the day we met. I miss him like crazy and will until I get to see him again.

Murphy was my shadow. He’d follow me everywhere. He was the best nurse when I wasn’t feeling well. He was the first thing I looked forward to seeing whenever I came home. He drove me bonkers at times but he was the best dog that I could have asked for. He hated storms, vacuums, brooms, the vet, loud cars/busses, and getting a bath. He loved being around people, eating carrots, McDonalds chicken nuggets and fries, going for walks, and snuggling on his terms.

He will forever be missed. I 💙 you Murphy!"

"Pumpkin was the best I could ever have. She lived to be 21 years old. Always greeted me at the door gave her treats. She was the best, she's in heaven now and I love her."

"Yesterday I had to say goodbye to my Snicker Boo. He had so many little nicknames: Snickie, Snicker Boo Boo, Snicker Butts, Snickie Butts, Snicker Boo, Bipolar Butthead... He was a very special dog with a little attitude.

He was my heart dog—my soulmate dog. He wanted me and had to be where I was at all times. If I was sad, he licked my face to death. If I was working out, he had to be right there; when I was doing my planks, he was licking my face. In the mornings, he wouldn’t go downstairs with the other dogs until I went down, and in the evenings, he went up to snuggle in bed with me when I did. If I went to the bathroom or showered, he was right by my side. If I went into the pool or lake—again, right there. He was in my lap for car rides—or if I was driving, he was still in my lap. He was very attached to me and was my little shadow.

My heart is broken into pieces. He went downhill really fast, and I was not ready for it. There will never be another dog like him. He left a huge hole in my heart, and I will forever miss him."

"Words can't describe what a great companion Miranda was. She gave as much love as she received. Everyone was a friend in her eyes. She loved her possessions, the more toys the better. She was a girlie girl. Forever in our hearts.

'We didn't get to spend the rest of our life with her but she got to spend hers with us. There is beauty in that.'"

"Drago was the most gentle giant with everyone he met, not a stranger he didn't like. He showed me that I didn't have to be strong all the time even though he knew I was. He faught as hard as he could and he won. I made sure to ask him if he could send me all the signs so I know he made it across that bridge to Enzo, Muges, Kylister, Zeta, Bitsy, and all the other good boys and girls who have went to the good place. He is running free, no more cancer, no more pain. I could never in a million years thank him for the amazing companionship he gave me over the almost 13 years. Out of the entire world, he chose me, and I am forever grateful for him."

"We adopted Bowie from Stray Rescue 13 years ago when he was 2. He was such a boisterous and energetic guy! We would throw the ball with him for hours a day and he never got tired of it. He was so pretty with his blue/brown eyes and little speckles on his ears! Everyone commented how sweet and pretty he was.

Then 7 months ago he developed a neurological problem in his back legs that spread to one of his front legs and then his mouth. He let us know it was time to go so we said goodbye 3/21/25. We miss him dearly."

"A chaser of sheep and rabbits. Lover of bones and table scraps. A gentle soul without a mean bone in her body. Kiko was our sweet old girl with a heart of gold. Sometimes stubborn, oftentimes a barking serenader, Kiko was a girl who loved belly scratches and greeting people at the door. There is pure grief in our hearts looking at the spot where our dear girl used to lay, but we know her soul has moved on to doggy heaven and she’s making all kinds of friends up there. Her love knows no bounds and we are grateful so many heavenly creatures are no enjoying that big beautiful heart. We love you so much, old girl! "

"Beau was a loving, beautiful Rottie who was the best friend you would ever have. Beau was loyal and strong. He thought our guests came to visit him. We will miss him every day of our lives. If he loved you, he would jump up and kiss you if you were caught unaware!"

"In Loving Memory of Josey

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our cherished dog, Josey, who left us on 1/31/25. Josey was more than just a pet; she was a loyal companion, a source of endless joy, and a beloved member of our family.

From the moment she came into our lives, Josey filled our days with laughter and love. Her playful spirit and gentle nature touched everyone she met. Whether she was chasing after a ball, snuggling up on the couch, or simply being by our side, Josey had a way of making every moment special.

As we say goodbye to Josey, we hold onto the beautiful memories and the happiness she brought into our lives. Her paw prints will forever be etched in our hearts. Rest in peace, sweet Josey. You will always be loved and never forgotten."

"Gus was everyone's favorite dog. He never met a stranger and he was everyone's best friend. Gus loved his cheeseburger bite treats, playing with his sister, and spending time in the sun.

We always found him in his favorite spot in the kitchen to sun himself. He would always hide when he heard the word "walk," but loved to chase the neighbor's cats or rabbits feasting in the yard. He would always find an open lap and give excessive kisses showing his love.

Losing Gus has left a huge hole in our hearts. We are so thankful that we were given the opportunity to have him as part of our family and love on him for almost 12 too short years. He showed us what unconditional love is. We love to believe he was called home by Jesus for a special mission because he was truly a special dog. We love you and miss you, Gus. ❤️"

"It was an absolute privilege to have this little lady in our lives for 15 years.

Her love and friendship will live forever in our hearts. "

"Grey was my absolute best friend. I adopted him & he made himself at home right away. He didn’t like men. It took him about a year to warm up to my boyfriend at the time, now husband. He slowly but surely started to love & trust my husband. He was the best boy for our little family. He had the cutest quirks & the best kisses with his long tongue. He was a couch potato and was content being cuddled up to us on the sofa. He also loved going on walks, car-rides, & eating his food.

We are heartbroken and miss him so so much! I pray you are up there running around with your tail wagging and pain-free baby Grey. We love you so much!"

"Titan was with us for about 15 years and he made us so happy in those years. He lived a long great life and he was as comfortable as possible through this tough decision"

"Sami was a 15-year-old Morkie. She was energetic and full of life through the end. She loved throwing her toys around the house. She was loved by our family and many of our friends that knew her. She battled kidney disease for at least 7 years, and we were able to keep her with a high quality of life up until the last week, so we are grateful for that. She will be missed greatly and will always hold a special place in our hearts."

"Winnie was our sweet girl. She loved cuddles, snacks and naps - this made her the perfect friend. No words can express how much we will miss are sweet girl."

"I had to make THE hardest decision of my life today. Bailey has given me 14 amazing years full of love and happiness❤️ I got Bailey when I was 8 years old as a birthday gift. Bailey was not just a dog to me he was and always will be my soul dog and best friend. He’s been with me almost my whole life. I’m going to miss him every single day for the rest of my life, but I know I’ll be able to see him again some day.❤️ I love you so much Bailey I’m going to miss you so much my sweet angel 😘"

"Yesterday, I had to say goodbye to my best friend who had been by my side for nearly 15 years. He spent his early days in a shelter, cautious about who he let into his heart. When we first met, he nestled his head in my lap, and that moment, I knew he was special. Initially, I tried fostering him, but our bond was too strong to let him go elsewhere. He filled my life with unwavering love and companionship. Now, my home feels emptier without him.

Over the Fourth of July weekend, he began to struggle. He lost his sight and could only walk for short periods. It was then that I made the heartbreaking decision to let him go peacefully. His final day was filled with cuddles, kisses, and all his favorite treats. I opted for in-home euthanasia to ensure he was comfortable, holding him until the very end."

"We were so blessed to have such a wonderful pet for 11 years.

RIP Buddy. We will miss you terribly!"

"Our cat Cali was a very affectionate baby. She would paw at your chin for attention and rest her head upon your chest - she would sleep in your lap for hours if you let her. She was such a conversationalist and could make all kinds of friendly noises, and would always reply with a short "mew" if you locked eyes with her or called her name. She was a precious and special soul and she will forever be a part of our hearts.

Thank you Cali, we love you so much."

"Our Avery girl. The best dog anyone could've asked for. She gave us and everyone around all the love she had. She made the room brighter, and the days better. She was a constant companion and best friend.

We could not have asked for a better experience and peaceful passing for our best girl. She was surrounded by the people who loved her, in her backyard, listening to the birds and the trees, with a bowl full of fudge brownies. We are so lucky and thankful to have had those last precious moments with her, to see her happy, and to know how loved she was and will always be. It may be quieter around the house, but we know she will always be with us in spirit. If there's a swimming pond over the rainbow bridge, that's where she'll be. We miss you, and will love you forever, baby Avery."

"Sallie, our spirited 14-year-old Australian Shepherd, filled her younger days with her unwavering enthusiasm for chasing cars and motorcycles. In her later years she spent majority of her time relaxing and herding our family cat. Sallie leaves behind pawprints of joy and mischief in our hearts."

"Rollo, you brought so much joy into our lives. We'll always cherish the memories and great times. You gave us so much happiness. Life won't be the same without you and your Pyr Paw.

Love you Old Man. "

"My little guy Radar was the sun and moon. He picked me the day the rescue mentioned they thought we might be a good fit. He had just gotten in trouble (he always had a bit of trouble with some dogs), and they thought he might be good as a single dog. When he fell asleep in my arms walking about Pet Smart, I knew we were meant to be. That was at an estimated 7 months old. He just missed his 16th birthday by a month a half.

It was just us in the beginning, and we had so many adventures! He loved to travel and ride in the car with me. We camped and hung out with family and friends from all over.

When in Uptown Dallas, he got to play with all the other dogs at doggie day car and grooming. When we moved to "his" house (I bought a house for Radar), he got to stay with his favorite grooming/pet sitting family.

He was such a sweet, mild tempered dog. Everyone loved Radar. He would just hang out and enjoy pets and treats without begging for either. His big ears were always a hit whether his hair was long or short.

He got me through some hard times when my Dad passed away and was a loyal companion from start to finish.

About 10 years ago, he moved with me from Texas to Missouri and added 3 more people to his family. Bob and his boys loved and cared for Radar as part of the family. He started getting treats that he'd never had before. He loved them just as much as they love him. We have a garage bar complete with a pub style table where we hang out. Until he was not longer able, Radar had his own chair at the table that was short enough for him to jump in. He was a part of friend's group as much as he was part of the family.

I will miss him so very much. He was the BEST dog and I love him with all of my heart. I love you sweet Radar. I hope you and Ollie are getting to chase each other again across the rainbow bridge. Until I see you again, little pumpkin!"

"Oliver was the sweetest cat. He would cuddle anyone and everyone. He loved roast beef and catching his mouse toys. There aren't adequate words to describe how good he genuinely was. We always called him "The Best Boy". Oliver didn't know how to purr quite right. He would make a noise that sounded more like snoring than anything. He tried his best though. Oliver loved his brother Simon. Oliver was my first cat and the hole he left behind is so unbearable."

"This week we said goodbye to our special Clark. He was the sweetest, most gentle dog I’ve had. He leaves us having lived in 6 states, trekking the east coast many times, many memories, countless walks and hikes, pool parties, birthdays, sleepovers, and all things family. His bestie is Lewis whom the two were inseparable for 12+ years. Thank you for helping us raise three kids, Clarkus and thank you for being you - a truly great dog."
