Pet Tributes

Bodhi came into Izzy's life after she lost her sister of 12 years. Izzy was terribly lonely, so we went to the shelter and asked for the oldest dog who had been there the longest — and we truly won the lottery when we got Bodhi. The gentle red-nosed pit bull sidled...

My sweet, beloved Tigger passed away on March 19, 2025. He came into my life as a kitten on Mother's Day in 2007. 18 years of joy and smiles. He didn't have a mean bone in his body and greeted everyone who came through my door. Chronic kidney disease took his life,...

Moe was a loving cat, full of personality. He was treated like royalty & loved every minute of it. His spirit will remain in our hearts forever. We love you Moe!

You came into our lives 14 years ago. You were always a ball of energy, full of antics and surprises. All of the other creatures knew the backyard was yours :-). Your absence is deeply felt. Since you've been gone, the birds, rabbits, cats, chipmunks, and squirrels...

Toby was such a good boy, and we were blessed to have him for 10 years. He will be greatly missed, and our house will never be the same without his bark. He was a loyal companion to the end, always right behind us. Although we always joked that he would be the corgi...

Remembering our dear Puddin is like celebrating a little angel who blessed our lives for 8.5 incredible years. Puddin, our sweet brown Pitbull, wasn’t just a dog; she was the heart and soul of our home. She greeted everyone she met with an open heart and wagging tail....

Tebow was one of a kind. We adopted him as a rescue puppy almost 13 years ago. He was so scrawny we thought he might be some kind of Chihuahua mix, but as we loved on him, he kept growing and growing and ended up about 80 pounds for most of his life! He was a lover...

My Beldee was a momma's boy. He followed me everywhere. He was demanding in what he wanted, whether it was an extra meal, a ride in the car, or a certain spot on the couch. He loved people and attention. He will be missed beyond words.

Our beloved Shauna was with us just 5 days shy of her 17th birthday. She was fun and feisty, never deterred by a big dog, going right up to them and barking. She even made some videos under the name of Snarky Shauna of Spring Creek. She was loyal and loving to her...

Our sweet angel Snickerdoodle, aka Snickers. We lost her rather quickly at 14 1/2 years-old, last September. She came into our life via a local rescue group at the ripe old age of 11, after being given up by the only family she’d known her whole life. We instantly...

"The Bestest Boy" The bestest boy That there ever was He made everyone smile, He wished he was tough. Always trolling for bread, Or maybe a treat He lit up our worlds But his breath smelled like feet I hope you are jumping Off the dock at the lake Or rolling in the...

As I write this In Memoriam, I am filled with sadness in my heart. My beautiful and sweet Lexi girl was the sweetest girl I've ever known. Spreading her love was her mission in life. She never met a stranger and always radiated love to all she met. She spent countless...

We cannot put into words the immense void and loneliness that we feel without her by our side. It is a pain that can only come from knowing how deeply we loved her. From the moment you entered our lives, you showed us what it meant to love unconditionally. There is no...

Indomitable spirit! Our sweet boy, Maxwell. He loved life and peanut butter. What an example of strength and acceptance he was to all who met him. He lived 6 years deaf, and his eyesight was deteriorating, but remarkably, he rose to the challenge and lived an...

Luna went to heaven on 2/15/24 at approximately 0935. She was at home, accompanied by her family and resting in her favorite place. Life is definitely not the same without her. Everything reminds us of our sweet baby girl. We miss her so much. Luna gave us 8 wonderful...

We said goodbye to sweet Maple this week. She was 15, with nasal cancer. Maple was special. So smart, so snuggly, and so confident. We loved her. She loved lying in the sun, sleeping under the covers, kisses on her head, and chicken. Run free, Scooch! No more snorting...

Sweet, sweet girl, Sparkle, you came to us skinny and scared. We were your third family and I promised you we would be your last, and we were. You were terrified of so many things—riding in cars, going through doors into any building. Thunderstorms or even heavy rain...

Yesterday (2/10), we lost Baby Abbie, as she was always affectionately called. In her twelve years with us, she was, first, a bonded pair with her sister, Grey. Eight years ago, she became the big sister to my son, Joseph. She loved that little boy from the second she...

Little man, you were the best companion, always by my side. RIP. Hoping the rainbow is feeding you the best.

Beau was a rescue who had a very rough beginning. He came into our home May 11, 2019 and instantly stole our hearts. We know that his 4 years with us were the best of his whole life. Beau was, and still is, deeply loved and his memory will live on in our hearts...

Our sweet Toby blessed our family for 18 years! You were our little boy and our second child who loved car rides and vacations. Toby was such an important part of our family. He gave us much love and joy. Toby was so smart we had to start spelling words for bath time...

The day I hoped would never come has came. It’s with the heaviest of hearts that we said goodbye to our beloved Lucas and he has went to be with the Lord. He was the most perfect well mannered pup. His daily positive easy going presence and sweet personality was a...

Indie Porter (4/18/2008 - 9/3/2023) Yesterday, we said goodbye to our beloved Indie. We are devastated and heartbroken. Indie was so much more than just a cat. He was special. He brought us constant love and happiness. He was sweet, silly, loving and unbelievably...

The day I hoped would never come … came yesterday, 7/1/23. We said goodbye to our beloved Bailey who blessed us with 15 beautiful years. He was my first dog ever, he made me a Mom. He brought joy to our lives and was loved by many, especially his sisters. Litter-mate,...

Shortie was one of a kind! He was always so happy. He never met a stranger and always wore a smile on his face. We often said they broke the mold when they made him. We rescued Shortie from a high kill shelter in S.C. He was due to be euthanized the day after we got...

Where do I even begin? Letting go of our sweet Beau was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. He was my “firstborn,” a gift for my birthday from my husband our first year of marriage. I had wanted a dog of my own for so long, and Beau was the answer to that prayer....

Our Lab Murphy sadly left us today to join his brother Beau. They both brought so much joy into our lives. We were fortunate to find Caring Pathways to assist us through his final day. The doctor was kind, compassionate and helped us through this difficult time. He...

We wanted to give our greatest gratitude to Dr. Eddie who was heaven sent to us to help us say goodbye to our Jasper- 15 year old Jack Russell spoiled baby boy who holds our hearts so tightly. Dr. Eddie knew the right things to say and was so compassionate- Jasper was...

Two days before his 5th birthday, I adopted Cooper from the kennel I worked at. He was overweight, had lots of anxiety, and was SUPER dramatic. All of my fellow coworkers said “that’s a really bad idea Jasmine, he’s such a bad dog”. Still to this day, since Cooper...

As pet owners, we all know the day will come when we have to say "so long" to our fur babies, however, nothing can ever prepare you for that day. As we struggled to find a way to keep Milo and Bucky with us and selfishly avoid our heartache, we realized their fighting...

My husband and I had Titus a couple of months shy of thirteen years. He was honesty the best boy ever. He never chewed or bothered anything in our house. He was so smart he understood whatever we said to him. And we loved him more that anyone could imagine. I’m so...

Kate gave us almost 7 years of joy and happiness. We miss her every day. We believe a dog’s love is like the love Jesus has for us…. Unconditional. We remember all the funny and cute things she did and that makes us smile. We could not have asked for a more perfect...

I am so happy to have such wonderful people to deal with during the loss of my little girl. Dr. Eddie Desko arrived at our home exactly on time and we chatted about Annabelle. He reacted with such kindness and concern. He stressed to me that there was no hurry to...

I had to send my beloved Gretal to the Rainbow Bridge, yesterday, afternoon, and it was the hardest decision I had to make. May 8, 2007 - Sept. 19, 2022. She was a very strong dog to put up with our travels across the United States. She got to ride, peacefully, on my...

Anastasia, black-and-tan bloodhound of Troutman, NC. 01/01/12 - 09/05/22 She was smart, determined, driven, and always in charge. She led us on so many adventures and got us into so much trouble with her one-in-a-million nose and her pinpoint internal GPS. We miss you...

In 2014 you came to our family in a beautiful bundle of silver and black fur with sparkling eyes of ice blue. Once grand-baby Brooklynn was born you came to stay with Grand-mom and Pop-pop. We couldn't have loved you more. Through the years you became our baby, our...

Oh Georgie! Our time together has come to an end. 9 years ago the neighbor bought a pit bull puppy he didn't want and named you Princess. We bonded under the fence. 6 months later God knew you deserved better and He insisted we take you. Just before Christmas you...
