I’m sorry I wasn’t there for your first moments. I’m sorry you were left behind at a shelter. I’m sorry your first family didn’t see how special you were. I’m so happy I found you and that I was able to call you mine even if it was for a short amount of time.

The goofiest and sweetest girl Bella came into our lives by chance and filled it with joy. She was a lover of sunbathing, trying to catch squirrels and her hooman mom’s biggest fan.

Here is Tabby. She passed away from cancer at age 16. She was diagnosed about 6 months before she passed away. Due to her age, we decided not to do chemo, but instead treated her with prednisone. It worked well and she lived a happy life until the day she passed. ❤️

In Loving Memory of Ollie and Oliver
In Loving Memory of Annie
Sweet Annie, You are the most incredible dog we've known and we miss you everyday. We miss your soft neck fur, your disgruntled barking for food, and the way your goofy tongue would hang out the side of your mouth. Even as a four-legged dog we knew you were a resilient girl, but our last year together with you as a tri-pawd proved you were tougher than we ever could have imagined. Your strength lives on in us and helps us get through whenever life gets tough. Our time with you was too short and we wish more than anything you were still here, but we know you are watching over us from the mountains and will never truly be gone.
In Loving Memory of Lucy
We’ll love you forever, sweet Lucy. Thank you for bringing sunshine to our lives. Long live the “Queen”! 💜

In Loving Memory of Roxanne
She passed 3 weeks after having surgery to remove a softball size tumor from the tip of her liver. She had hemangiosarcoma. She passed away on May 17, 2019. She was my best friend, was incredibly smart and naturally intune with my blood sugar and anxiety as well as anything I needed, she would know without asking. She was the best dog I ever had and 5 years later it still feels like she passed yesterday. Not a day goes by that I don't think of her, I miss her so much.

In Loving Memory of Dash Dog
In Loving Memory of Bella
This sweet girl is our little Tilly. Tilly came into our lives as a result of a spontaneous trip to a senior dog rescue shelter “just to look around”. From the very second Tilly walked into our lives and made herself right at home on our couch, we knew immediately she was the missing piece of our family’s puzzle. Originally (and very fittingly) named “Quartz” at the shelter, Tilly had a lovely, dazzling personality.
Everyone and anyone who got to meet her immediately gushed about her super sweet yet unapologetically spunky demeanor. She loved her treats and did a special tippy tap dance for them! She had soulful eyes that, when met with yours, would almost sparkle, followed by a gentle wag from a scruffy little tail that almost looked too big for her body (as was her personality). Tilly was also very silly! She loved digging holes, doing handstands, and breakdancing (which meant she liked to be spun around on her back on the floor). Tilly was diagnosed with mammary cancer in late 2021, and fought bravely until she crossed over the rainbow bridge. Despite her ailing body, Tilly, (Quartz) as her old namesake suggests, was strong and sturdy up until the very end. Our girl was beautiful and brave and we couldn’t have asked for a better fighter. She is loved and remembered by her parents, grandparents, and a host of family members and friends. She is in the company of her sisters, Cleo and Lulu. Until we meet again, our little Tippity-Tapper Tilly Terrier. Keep chasing rainbows. We miss you and love you. ❤️🌈🐾
In Loving Memory of Yuuki
My YuukiBear, not a day goes by that I don't think of you. You've left an everlasting imprint on my heart, until we meet again in the neverending fields found along the rainbow bridge. I miss you more than words can describe
In Loving Memory of Rigger (aka Biggie)
My sweet, beautiful, beloved, silly heart dog was taken too soon by bladder cancer. I miss him every day and am forever grateful for the immense amount if love he brought to my life and the lessons he taught me about kindness and love. ♥️
In Loving Memory of Chiquis
Chiquis Vargas 04.12.2009 - 11.08.2023
Our beloved Chiquis filled our hearts with so much love for the 14.5 years we shared together. Chiquis filled our life with so much joy and was the light and heart of our family. Chiquis was sweet, energetic, loving, and one of a kind. She faced so many challenges, but she always knew how to make us smile and touched the hearts of many. Chiquis was a fighter, she was brave and always kept fighting till the end. Chiquis was diagnosed with heart disease in 2018 and later diagnosed with nasal cancer in 2022. She spent countless hours back and forth at the vet with her treatments, but always lit up the room with her big beautiful bright eyes, and sassy personality. She knew how to grab the attention of the room and made everyone laugh even in the toughest of times. She will always be our light and joy; she will never be forgotten.
Dear Chiquis,
We miss you more than words can explain. We wish more than anything that you were here by our side, riding in your stroller on this walk. We know you would have caused a scene by barking and trying to play with all the doggies, and we know you would have had a blast. We know you’re here with us in spirit. Today we’re walking in your honor. We will never stop honoring and remembering you. You are our whole world; you always have been and will continue to be. We are heartbroken that you are not here with us, but we know you are in a better place. Thank you for all the incredible memories we shared, thank you for filling our life and our hearts with your bright personality. Thank you for choosing us to be your family, for loving us, for growing with us, and for always being by our side. You are our mighty dog. We love you our sweet angel, forever and always.

In Loving Memory of Sweep
10/15/09–5/27/22. The silliest, sassiest, smartest girl and best first dog we could ever have asked for. You fought osteosarcoma with everything you had, and we were so lucky for every day with you. Thank you for sending us your niece and nephew. We miss you and will love you always.
In Loving Memory of Richard
3/2/09–8/2/23. We adopted you at 10, but you never knew you were a senior cat and certainly never acted it. We joked (and hoped) that you would live to be 30, but an inoperable fibrosarcoma took you suddenly at 14. We love you and miss your huge personality and our daily cuddles.
In Loving Memory of Teddy
14 years wasn't enough for the amount of adventures we still had ahead of us. Through victories, and heartbreaks, it's always been you to make things better. I love you Teddy, always have, always will. Save a spot for me monkey.
Teddy passed from Lung cancer. Despite his age he has always been so lively. Always running, always bossy and sassy. Canine cancer is unfair, and I hope we can all work towards a better future for all of our furbabies.
In Loving Memory of Lucy
Lucy was super athletic and we did lots of different activities together. She had endless energy and even after some good exercise she would still get the zoomies! When Lucy was young, she was the prettiest chocolate brown color all over except for a small patch of white on her chest. It wasn't until the last few years that she started to go grey. She was so distinguished with her grey face and chin. I included a picture of her on the back of the couch, her absolute favorite place to be. I learned so much from her, she taught me how to be a better dog mom.
In Loving Memory of Barley
He lived to swim, play fetch, and be the "Welcoming Committee" anywhere we would go. We would joke that he was always smiling.

In Loving Memory of Leo
Leo was the sweetest, smartest, goodest boy ever!
He was half Australian Shepherd and half Golden Doodle and looked like a black golden retriever. He had the retriever wiggle butt and just wanted to please, so very obedient. When the weather started to get too warm for his walks, he swam. This was an everyday thing from May to Oct. He would even float on tubes to be close to his humans and paddle boarded.
He was a hiker, camper, and fishing buddy.
Missed but never forgotten.
In Loving Memory of Rocky
To our sweet boy Rocky,
Thank you for 11.5 years of the greatest love and friendship we ever could have asked for. We will miss you every day of our lives until we get to see you again.

In Loving Memory of Kingsley
Kingsley was so much more than a dog to my husband and me. He was our first child, who we lovingly referred to as a “humipoo” rather than a “maltipoo” because of his big, human-like personality. His sweet eyes spoke even louder than his noisiest bark.
When he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, AGASACA, when he was only eight, we were devastated. Having fully expected Kingsley to live well into his teenage years, we did everything we could to try to save his life. Unfortunately, just one year later, it was time to say goodbye.
The experience was so unexpected – you would never have known anything was wrong with Kingsley given his constant spunk and sass, and he continued demonstrating his strong will and love for life down to the very end. Kingsley taught us the power of unconditional love, and we learned so much during our last year together.
Walking this path with our best friend inspired me to write a book about our journey, Caring for Kingsley, Believing in a Better Way When Canine Cancer Comes Crashing Into Your World, scheduled for release in June 2022. My hope is that it helps others feel less alone when navigating difficult decisions for the one they love unconditionally.
Kingsley, we love you and we miss you. You will forever remain a part of our family.
In Loving Memory of Barlee Baxter
Barlee Baxter came to me in 2003. He was the most adorable little hound dog ever. We did everything together, we hiked, surfed, ran, and went on errands, me and my best friend. Every day was Barlee and me day. In 2012 we found a mass in his belly and things got very sad and complicated. But this old man kept charging till his very last day when he told me it was time. The tumor had taken its toll and we had to say goodbye. On November 11, 2014, we laid him to rest. Today, his brother Sonny and me run for him, and all dogs who have fought and are fighting.

In Loving Memory of Zeus
He was an English Bulldog who passed after losing his battle with Hemangiosarcoma on January 14, 2022. He was 10 years old. He was gentle, sweet, and such a character. He brought so much joy and laughter to our lives. He loved holidays, sunbathing, and traveling with us in his younger days.
We will never forget you, buddy!

In Loving Memory of Ivy
Dearest Ivy,
Your sweet soul touched our lives in countless ways. As soon as you entered our world, our lives were turned topsy turvy and our hearts were full. Whether jumping off retaining walls or eating things that were bad for you, we knew your infinite love would make everything better. You saved many furry foster siblings and you kept your humans remembering the importance of unconditional love. Your memory will be in our hearts forever.
With love, your Family

In Loving Memory of Ebony
Ebony died July 3, 2019 while under the care of Dr. Tripp. She was 14 years old. She was a loving, very friendly, and vocal cat who was friends with all people and dogs that were part of her life. She brought us much joy and she fought the good fight.
It was hard to lose her and she is still missed around our house.
In Loving Memory of Zaire
To my big boy Zaire, I can't tell you how much I miss you, and I am not sure if the hole in my heart will ever heal. You were one of a kind. I have never had a dog that was so calm and loving. I look for you when I go camping, that was our special bonding time. Your eagerness to go with me anywhere, no matter what time, brought much joy to my life. The chair seems to have a lot more room now. The couch seems huge!! What I miss the most is your constant snuggling when we go to bed at night. Your head resting on my legs, and your cold nose and warm breath on my face when you would get under the covers and lay your head on my pillow. I miss you Zaire, I only hope you know how much. I will see you someday at the Rainbow bridge. I can't wait to have you sitting by my side once again. I love you Z.....
In Loving Memory of
Kyra, Warrior Princess
Kyra was diagnosed with aggressive small-cell lymphoma in January of 2020. Traditional treatments failed to stop it and her tumors grew quite large, but she didn't give up so neither did we. When it looked like all hope was lost, we took a chance on immunotherapy that had never before been used for lymphoma in a ferret. It worked and her tumors disappeared and never returned. She lived happily for another two years before passing peacefully at home due to heart failure at just over 7 years old.
In Loving Memory of Ace
Ace never let anything slow him down. Ace joined my family as a stray, with some dental and kidney issues. He overcame those but then battled cancer and had to have half of his jaw removed. He didn't let that slow him down. He learned to eat solid kibble with half of a jaw. His tongue would often hang out of the left side of his mouth. With his siblings supporting him, he got through the unexpected passing of his brother and best friend Dodger. He then battled tumors on his neck. He received electrochemotherapy at BARC, which significantly slowed down growth of the tumors. He lived every day to the fullest and taught me that you keep going and enjoy the good no matter what bad things life throws in your path. He lived to be more than 8 years old.
In Loving Memory of Renton
Wherever you are, it is a better place because of you.

The only words that come to mind are,
Love is forever.
In Loving Memory of Pixie
She is so missed. She is. I've never seen a cat with so much expression in her face either. She never really "talked" (unless it was calling to her people if I took her for a car ride) but you could always tell exactly what was going on with that face.

Moose is SO missed by our family every day. Here is one of our favorite pictures of him on the beach. He loved the beach and swimming in the ocean. He was friendly to every human and animal that he met. Moose was always happy go lucky and such a joy to have around. His registered name was Mariner Moose Jones because our family loves baseball. He was one of a kind.

In Loving Memory of Jack Daniels

In Loving Memory of Jasmyn
This is my girl, Jasmyn. Jasmyn was my soul dog. She was my wedding present from my husband in September 2004 and was by my side for thirteen glorious years. I often introduced her as my four legged daughter to people. She came to work with me as well when I worked in different veterinary hospitals. She faithfully followed me on my life journey from girl to woman, and was my best friend and closest confidant. Her fur soaked up so many of my tears, her ears held millions of my words, and her face held an infinite number of kisses. She was with me when I had two miscarriages, and when I was bed ridden during my high risk pregnancy with my Rainbow Baby. Jasmyn walked the house with me during my labor with my daughter, and was so blissfully in love with her little sister. She was fiercely protective of “her “ girl, Carolina. They wore matching dresses and Jasmyn slept in front of her crib and stayed up well until the sunrise with me most nights when Carolina was a newborn. Jasmyn was my Angel on Earth. May 2017, I first noticed she had trouble taking longer walks, and she seemed swollen behind her armpits. I thought it was just her arthritis, so I gave her some joint support medication. Then she developed a cough, but it was almost nearly always after she groomed herself, so I assumed it was hair in her throat. I was in denial to even think about her being sick. My family kept telling me she looked like it was getting to be “that time” and I kept telling them she was fine. It made me angry that they would even suggest it. She was my baby and I was blind. I was so ignorant and I wish I could do it over. We celebrated her 13th birthday and she didn’t want her cake. In fact she stopped eating almost altogether, only drank tremendous amounts of water, and that was when I finally realized I needed to bring her in. It nearly killed me when I was told that she had aggressive lymphoma and that it had metastasized to her lungs and other organs. Her body was basically riddled with lymphoma. I felt like a Monster. Jasmyn counted on me and I wouldn’t take off my rose colored glasses until it was too late. Ten days after her birthday I made the decision to release her from her pain, and a part of me died with her when she took her final breath. Three weeks after Jasmyn crossed the Rainbow Bridge I also miscarried my first son. It was a terrible time. When I was pregnant with my second Rainbow Baby, I was in shock at the ultrasound to check their heartbeat, because Jasmyn’s head was in the ultrasound! She was letting me know she was going to protect my son. He was in fact, the only textbook normal pregnancy I’ve ever had. I know it was because she was his Guardian Angel. I miss Jasmyn every day, and even after five years it never feels easier. I loved her enormously. I cannot wait until we meet again one day, but for now I carry her
in my heart.
In Loving Memory of Jack
Jack, our Mini American Eskimo, was my heart and soul dog. He lived to the age of 14. We rescued him, at the age of one. He had so many nicknames…everything from Jaquito, Taquito, Paquito, Little One, Coo Coo, etc. In fact, we drove two and half hours to get him. He emptied his stomach contents, on me, on the way home. I knew then, he was my heart dog. I carried him everywhere. He did have patella luxation also, so he enjoyed being babied. His passing from stomach cancer really hit me hard. I literally felt physical pain in my heart. I can honestly say I know what heartbreak feels like now. I love you Jack and I know your brother, Gypsy Road (whom we lost recently, due to heart disease) is with you.
We love you so much, Little One.

In Loving Memory of Nora
In Memory of Daisy
Dogs ask for so little and give so much, which is why I don’t understand how any could ever be abused or abandoned. They become teachers to humans and while they are with us, provide us with lessons of how to be better, how to love more and be less selfish, and with the short time they are with us, how much they can add to our joy and happiness. Daisy became my rescued fur-kid in 2009 when she was estimated to be 5 years old or so. I let her go on May 21, 2021 to proceed on the next journey, where I hope to meet her again when it’s my time to transition. She was a strong girl. My heart wanted to take her home from the vet to see if she would improve after the obvious signs of cancer (probably hemangiosarcoma that had metastasized), if only a miraculous cure would be found in the coming days. My head said otherwise, because I had seen this movie before with other dogs I have lost to cancer. My heart has a hole in it that connects to the holes left by my other angel dogs who have been taken away too soon by cancer. 12 years was not long enough my girl. I love you, miss you, and will never forget what you taught me so that I can be a better person.
In Loving Memory of Henry
Henry passed away this February from a very rare and aggressive form of lung cancer. He was the happiest and healthiest puppy but all of a sudden he fell ill. The next month he would've been 13 years old. Henry was full of love and life. He loved going to the dog park, planting trees in the backyard with my dad, and he loved watching movies with the whole family every weekend. He was always kind and loved his family unconditionally and what I want people to remember Henry for. Thank you for bringing so much happiness and love into our family's life. I think we needed Henry more than he needed us. We miss you so much!

In Memory of Jaxon
This is my Jaxon....he passed from prostate cancer when he was just 7. I miss him everyday. He was my teaching assistant, support system and best friend. He was also an Aquarius who loved watching out the window, sleeping in the cubbies and his little brother Beanie.
We miss you Jaxie!
In Memory of Rambi
Rest In Peace, beautiful Rambi. We love you forever.
In Memory of Bella
Bella passed from a very aggressive brain cancer in July. She was a rescue but in reality we rescued each other. She was so kind and loving and had a special gift of sensing when you were upset and needed some snuggles to cheer up, even with strangers. She loved road trips and accompanied me all over the country in the last year as I completed travel nurse assignments in COVID ICU’s from coast to coast, adding a little bit of light to a very dark time. She was only 5 when she passed and I only had the privilege of her company for 4 years, far too short but full of amazing memories I will cherish forever.
In Memory of Hopper
When my uncle passed away suddenly in May 2020, my family made the 1100 mile trip to bring Hopper to his new home with us. But only six months later, we learned he had soft tissue sarcoma. Radiation treatment bought a wonderful 9 months and we got to spend Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, his birthday and Easter with Hopper. (This is him with his Easter basket) He's now met my uncle on the Rainbow Bridge and is snoring on the couch next to him in Heaven.
In Loving Memory of Millie
My sweet Millie.
The best couch snuggling, road tripping, ice cream loving friend you could ask for.
Gone too soon

The most glorious 100 lb chocolate lab the world has ever seen.
In Loving Memory of Tank
This is my sweet boy Tank, lost him to Lung Cancer this past April. He was with me for 15 years... :)
In Loving Memory of Walden
Walden will always be our joy boy. You are so missed, sweet angel boy. We love you always.
In Loving Memory of Cleo
Cleo was the best dog. We lost her to skin cancer that spread through her whole body at only seven years old. I still miss her everyday.
Forever our Kona-boy
Kona was diagnosed with bone cancer April 2021. We sadly lost him August 26th, 2021.
He changed our lives in the most beautiful way. He showed us what unconditional love and loyalty looks like.
He loved going on boat rides and camping. Our home and lives were not the same without him. Our family could not have asked for a better dog to come into out lives. He dearly missed and not a day goes by that we don't think about him and the joy he brought to our lives.
In Loving Memory of Scarlet
In Loving Memory of Kaeto
Kaeto came to us in June 2019 as a foster from the Washington Alaskan Adoption League (WAMAL) shortly after he was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma. It was originally found in his rear left leg which, after lengthy discussions with his vet, was amputated to help stop (or at least slow down) the spread of the cancer. He had the operation on July 10th and began IV chemo soon after. His spirit and love never wavered and I’m sure his sweet soul knew that we were doing the best we could for him. He bonded with our other two Malamutes instantly and became a very welcome and much loved part of the pack, to such an extent that we became foster fails and fully adopted him. For the first few months his energy was amazing as he quickly adapted to life as a tripod, easily keeping up with our 7-year-old on walks (Kaeto was 5) and even snapped the retractable leash he was on when he tore after a squirrel! Summer slipped into fall, and he proudly wore his Halloween hat walking through the neighborhood and enjoyed a hearty steak (he was allergic to poultry) thanksgiving dinner alongside Wizzard and Pyra, his fellow WAMAL alumni. We knew the odds were not in his favor so we gave him the best Christmas ever with his own stocking full of treats and toys and again…a big steak dinner. In January he got to play in the snow on the park & really gave Wizzard a run for his money, running and playing just like a normal, healthy dog…his spirit was amazing. He also celebrated his 6th birthday, and we took him to Norm’s in Fremont where he enjoyed everything on their doggie menu! But sadly, this was not to last as soon after, spots were found in his lungs during his routine monthly check up, the cancer had metastasized. We tried different meds, some very new, in an effort to give him the best quality of life for as long as possible. He began to limp, very faintly at first and worrying that in his exuberance he’d pulled a muscle or picked up some similar injury we took him in to be checked and it was here that we were told the devastating news that he had developed masses in one of his front legs. We were crushed. With very heavy hearts we switched his treatment to palliative care and gave him all the love and attention we could during his last few weeks. After a while we noticed he had difficulty in standing, then walking became more of a problem and in a very short period getting up became painful for him…we knew it was time. We arranged for one of the wonderful vets at Compassion4paws to come to the house and 8 months to the day after his surgery, enjoying a last few slices of beef, surrounded by love and with oh so tender hugs, we said goodbye.
There isn’t a day go by when I don’t miss his goofy, loving, kind soul. He was unique and deserved a longer and healthier life, but it was not to be. It with great pride that I’m taking part in this wonderful event in his memory, I miss him every day and am so very grateful to play a small part in help fund research to find a cure for this horrible disease so that future pups may be saved.
Kaeto 1/24/2014 – 3/10/2020

Beamer
"My little soulmate" Beamer was a bright light and brought so much joy to us for the 15 years we had with him.
From the day we brought him home to the day we had to say goodbye, he was pure happiness.
In Loving Memory of Princesa
Princesa born in Puerto Rico. She moved with me to Washington in 2010 at 4 years old. She was 12 years old when she crossed the rainbow bridge She was loyal, courage, fearless, loved to sleep in front the fireplace, get sun bath, play with toys and walk every day. She fought with Mast Cell Tumor for 3 years. My fur baby you’ll be in our hearts forever.
In Memory of Scrappy
There's an empty space where you used to lay, and an ache in my heart that wont go away . I couldn't have asked for a better furbaby.
Scrappy a dear and sweet companion. He was so loved from the start.
Scrappy's love is faithful and true to his very last breath.
Now you're roaming endless fields, forever free to run. Listening to the song of the wind beneath the golden sun. Meet me at the when the time is right. Run into my arms again walk with into the light.
I think the hardest part of loving a dog or any animal you love isn't having to say goodbye. It's the way your entire world changes without them and the emptiness that left in your heart when they go.
There's is no greater earthly privilege then to have been loved by a dog.

Izzy, she was the best dog ever.
She leaves behind her humans Scott, Renee, and Beckham and her fur baby Beans.
We miss her like crazy.
In Loving Memory of Zoe and Wynston
Sadly, in the last year, we had to say 'goodbye' to two of our beloved Bernese Mountain Dogs, Zoe on Sept 28th, 2019, and Wynston just last month, on Aug 8th. Both of them were patients of Dr. Choy, who provided excellent care during their cancer treatments, for which we are incredibly grateful.
Though we wish we could have had them with us for many more years, and we miss them both like crazy, we take some comfort in knowing Zoe and Wynston are together again, since they had so many wonderful years together.
We found 4 photos of the two of them together that capture their essence and the many activities they enjoyed throughout the seasons: Winter (romping in the snow), Spring (celebrating their May birthdays - 2 days apart), Summer (fun on the beach) & Fall (playing in leaves).
Bianca was my soul companion. I had her for 12. I will miss my Binky girl.
Fifi was Bianca's fur sister who was a second skin to me and my was my little Fifster. She was a spunky girl for her size and gave lots of love. She passed 3 months after.
4 years and I still miss and cry for my girls.
Love, your Humama

Our beloved Cnowy Corcoran, Shetland Sheepdog Extraordinaire, faithful volunteer and mini-miracle worker in the Seattle Children’s Hospital Animal Assisted Therapy program, furbaby of Curtis and Celeste and steadfast older brother of Sheltie Columb, lost his battle with lymphoma and passed over the Rainbow Bridge in March 2020. His passing was compassionate and gentle, and we know for certain he now romps in doggie heaven with Sheltie sibs Meagan, Cole, and Cassie. We are very grateful for the care he received from Fidalgo Animal Medical Center, BARC, and Larrabee Animal Medical Center.

In Loving Memory of Splash
I thank Splash for twelve years of companionship and love. I thank her for being my agility partner, even though I think she did it more for me than for her own enjoyment. I thank her for introducing me to so many people who are now friends. I thank her for putting up with Jinks, who was not an easy younger “sister” to live with. And I thank my friends, near and far, who have loved us and shared both our happy times and our sad times. I particularly appreciate the cheers we received on Splash’s agility retirement runs. The video of those runs will be forever treasured.
I love you, Splash

In Memory of Rocky
Rocky with his cat, Bandit, who believed with his whole heart that Rocky was his best friend, even though Rocky never was so sure about his little brother. Tragically, we just lost Bandit suddenly to HCM at age four in November. Though I don’t think we’ve ever shed so many tears, our grief is unmatched by the smiles, laughter, and pure joy they brought us.

In Loving Memory of Lucy
We met Lucy when she was two weeks old and her gentle soul graced our lives until we said goodbye when she was 13+. She led a wonderful life, was deeply loved and loved back just as deeply. She beat cancer and loved her siblings and the grandchildren, protective of us all. She was always the first to greet anyone that came to our home. She is deeply missed and will continue to be so. She holds a special place in the hearts of anyone that met her. We are heartbroken.

In Loving Memory of Bogie
Who is the boss, the boss with the hot sauce? Everyone knows it's Bogie!
In Loving Memory of Cookie
We called her Mama. She’d had 1 litter before she came into our lives and was always overprotective, of me especially. We figured she’d been a witness to domestic abuse because she never liked men approaching women in certain ways and would rush to defend. When my husband undressed in our bedroom, she’d bark at him, even from under bedcovers, even without seeing him. She had been abandoned by her former owners, left alone miles away, but was street smart and made her way back. And we scooped her up, this scrappy almost stray young pup.
She was Mark’s very first dog, he’d only had cats growing-up. He was nervous, she was unconvinced. She’d wedge herself behind the couch and stay there for hours to feel safe. Until we rescued the perfect companion for her, a rambunctious puppy, that she could mother. She came out of her shell. And graced us with her unbelievably gentle soul all these years, since before we were married.
This has been a punch in the gut to let her go. Today I watched my husband across the yard, the man who turned into a dog lover because of this caramel colored chihuahua/corgi wonder mutt, whispering his goodbyes to her as he held her in his arms. And she tucked her snout into his neck. Then he put her back down on the grass to sniff around some more.
There are no more words left in me to describe how much I will miss her, from those ridiculous bat ears to those “white boots” for paws to her sassy trot on a long walk. I have to believe we will be reunited someday and I will earn another tender lick on my hand. I love you Cookie, my Mama Lou. Rest In Peace now.
In Loving Memory of Misty
To the filthy dog in the corner of the shelter cage that became our foster failure... No one else wanted to adopt you, a difficult case as they say. Not particularly friendly to other dogs. Not child friendly. A biter if your personal space was invaded. An ornery senior. Every vet’s infamous patient.
No one wanted you once they used up your body from breeding and discarded you. Very few saw your potential to trust again. Even fewer (only one) looked as deep into your eyes as I have and believed you were truly worth all the trouble.
No one would have fought through 3 battles of cancer with you and still had hope you could get through it again, until it metastasized.
But I did. Because I loved you, Misty girl. Love defies all the should’ve/would’ve/could’ves in life.
You were my 3rd chihuahua to go through this process with, I was your person. I was the only one who could ever pick you up now. The only one you wagged your tail for. The only one who you let hold you for your very last breath. I don’t take that lightly.
My heart is as heavy as it always is to lose one of my babies. You have gone to be with the Marasco pack on the other side, but not without chipping off another piece of my soul to take with you. I still plan on collecting all of those bits and pieces back when we are one day reunited.
For now, you run free, with no pain, no more fear of the hands of humans, no more hurt. To my little white chi chi that no one deserved... don’t frolic with the angels. Don’t Rest In Peace. Don’t go changing on me now. You give ‘em hell. Never to be forgotten, I love you forever.

In Memory of Percy
We loved our smiling, happy boy so much.
He brought joy to every moment of our days with him.
In Memory of Baxter
Baxter loved his people, his extended family, his dog cousins, his girlfriend Minnie and All of his many toys very much. He was so smart and mischievous, always teaching us lessons and getting into things he shouldn’t. We had to “puppy proofing” the house even though he wasn’t a puppy before we left, and even then he’d usually find something that we forgot to close or put away.
He was a huge part of our lives and we will forever hold him close in our hearts 🐾🐾

In Memory of Gob
Gob loved cuddles, butter, and everyone he ever met. My funny, furry, curious best friend left us too soon, purring and comforting his people, even in his last moments. Miss you every day and forever, sweet Goby Kitty. 4/4/2006-6/10/2020

In Loving Memory of Abby
From the day that I found a flea-covered kitten at the entrance of a Kentucky Fried Chicken, I loved this little girl Abby. Abby was sweet, crazy smart, mischievous, funny, and stubborn. In her younger days, her nickname was "Queen of Destruction" because she would roam around looking for trouble and things to destroy. Abby was so full of personality and sweet, she made an immediate impact on all that met her, and everyone fell in love with her. Once she got cancer, initially nasal lymphoma, she took all the treatments in stride and she was the toughest fighter ever and she beat it. Even when she later got lymphoma again, it was so impressive how hard she fought up until the very end. I feel blessed to have spent 15 years with my very special little girl Abby, I love her always and miss her immensely.
In Loving Memory of Diego
Hmm, Diego…. Our dear boy. We miss him so much and find ourselves talking to him even though he’s no longer with us. He was so very special not only to us but to everyone who met him. He came with us to work every day and became the company mascot. When people felt down or just wanted some joy, they knew they could go see Diego and he would happily give them his attention. He was well-loved by many. Words to describe him - funny, goofy, stubborn, playful, endearing, good sport, loving, and a very dear companion!
In Loving Memory of Goomba
When I needed a friend, I stretched out my hand and your paw reached for it. Thank you Goomba for choosing me to be the center of your universe and giving me your absolute all. It was a great honor to be your Mama. Until we can Happy Doggie Dance again, thank you Goomba for the cherished memories! Wings received 03 July 2020.
You are loved forever...Mama, Daddy and Gracie.
In Loving Memory of Charlie
Charlie was born in Auburn, Alabama. So he was a southern pup at heart. His true love was swimming at the beach, and either chasing or chewing any type of tennis or rubber ball. He was an athlete in all regards and could hold an amazingly fast pace on a run. He was not a fan of photos so it was always challenging going to get that happy photo unless he was at the beach! He blessed us in so many ways. All of the doctors at BARC allowed us to have an additional five months of happiness. For that we are forever grateful.
In Loving Memory of Bentley
In Loving Memory of Griffin
Our beloved little Bentley is gone too soon. We will forever miss him and his sweet personality. Our little guy was happy until the very end.
R.I.P Bentley 2011-2020❤
My dear, sweet Griffin.
You were the perfect dog.
Always a gentlemen.
You are so missed.
Tyson's diagnosis in November 2018 of hemangiosarcoma was very dire and we expected him to live only a week. Thankfully we were referred to Dr. Kevin Choy and because of that Tyson lived until July 2019. The SVS staff gave him the greatest care during his many rounds of chemo and Tyson handled it like the champ he was.
We didn't take a day for granted and knew we were blessed every day he was with us. We had a very FULL 8 months and celebrated the holidays, snowdays, and the spring and summer sunshine. He got lots of walks, loving, and treats. He seemed to enjoy each day too.....but didn't give up harrasing his little brother or his stubborn ways.
We miss his loving ways but are so grateful for the extra time we had Tyson with us. Forever grateful to Dr. Choy and staff.

In Memory of Dexter
With broken hearts, we had to say goodbye to our loyal and loving lab, Dexter after a late stage diagnosis with an aggressive cancer on his spleen. Dexter came into our lives when our family needed him most. His quirky, impatient, and affectionate personality brought us laughter and love for over 9 years. Dexter was also my father's constant companion and source of support during his own cancer diagnosis and treatment. He couldn't have been a more loyal dog and better friend. He was an integral member of our family and 9 years with him was not nearly enough. We love him dearly and will miss him forever.
We knew it would happen, but not when; we knew she wouldn't live forever, but we hoped.
She was plucky and fearless.
She was funny and she got her rats!

In Memory of Hanako
We had to bid a tearful goodbye to our dear Hanako, who suddenly became ill on Christmas. Hanako, you truly are a flower child. When we took you on your last hike today, you were playful to the last. During your two short years on the earth, you brought us so much love and joy. Thank you Hanako.
In Memory of Gus
In Memory of
Kozmo "Kozzy" Whitaker
We said a heartbroken goodbye to Kosmo yesterday evening, whose 9th birthday we had just celebrated. We were puzzled when he didn't want to eat his breakfast yesterday, and ultrasounds showed internal bleeding, which surgery confirmed was cancer nodules all over his liver. One had ruptured, and in the course of a morning, he went from being his usual happy self to needing to be put down.
We are devastated by this as anyone who knows us knows that Koz was a family member. I'll never forget how he wedged himself between Rosie and my legs while we slow danced in her kitchen on our second date. He walked down the aisle at our wedding. He cuddled Rosie through first trimester morning sickness and was a great big brother to Landon, licking his feet when we brought him home from the hospital. He watched over us and kept us smiling through all of the twists and turns in our journey. His kind, loving goofiness brightened everyone's day, whether it was us, our friends, our family, kids in our community, or total strangers. There isn't enough crispy salmon skin on the planet to reward him for being the joy that he was.
We will miss you Kozzy.
In Memory of
Lucia "Lulu" Veloz
My beloved Luccia passed away on February 18, 2018 from cancer. She was bigger than life....always confident, strong, and gentle in her ways. She was the top dog and didn't bother with the small stuff....loved her humans, children, and squirrels. She was the consummate ranch dog most comfortable in nature and comfy in her bed scratched from dirt and leaves. She is etched forever in our hearts and her memory always in our prayers. XOXO
In Memory of Kemper
She was the most special dog I’ve ever known and I will miss her deeply for the rest of my life. She was my first ever doggie - adopted when she was 1, and I was 21 – and was with me through all of the ups and downs of my 20s :-)… We had many new adventures together during that time, and I’ve got lots of happy memories. I will miss coming home to her giant waggy tail and happy bear-face in the window; pack-howling at night just for fun; morning snuggles; summer road-trips to the cape; long walks in fall/winter (especially in the snow, because she loved it); thunderstorm hideouts in the bathtub; her little (big) heartbeat at my feet while she was napping (with her big paws plodding and her eyelids blinking, chasing dream-rabbits – or another dog). I’ll miss sitting in the field at TJ Park watching soccer, and our midnight perimeter walks around the neighborhood with our cat, Spooky… but every time I think of those things I will be happy and grateful and remind myself how lucky we were to have her with us, especially for the extra time after her cancer diagnosis. Thanks especially to my family and friends for all the love you gave her. She was a lucky girl. She will always be my favorite and best-loved puppy in the world
