Memorials

Ash and Sushi were part of our family for such a short time. Their impact remains. Ash was born feral in a barn. How he managed to stand out and be different and approachable is part of what made him special. Sushi came to live with us and made fifth grade easier. She attended many…

When our big tiger cat (Cubby) passed away in 2004, I went to Homeward Bound to adopt another kitten.  I asked if they had any grey kittens and they showed me this beautiful 14 month old grey with white markings.  She had extra toes all around and was beautiful.  She snuggled in my lap while…

Tyson was faaaaaaaast. Like, with everything. The second the UPS guy turned into the driveway, he was on guard. He was literally impossible to overthrow with a frisbee, he’d always beat it to the spot and end up waiting on it. His meals were gone in times that would make a NASCAR pit crew whistle…

Kratos was a real gentle giant. He was raised with his miniature pinscher siblings, and thought he was a small dog. He was never far from my youngest son’s side. Kratos started “fainting” and a trip to the vet and numerous tests revealed he was suffering from congestive heart failure. He did good on his…

Annabelle was a month short of her 10th birthday when her health took a sudden and unexpected turn. She was our first pet as a couple, our first “child.” She picked us. She was full of life, enjoying hikes and loved car rides. You could never say the words “cookie” or “ice cream” in her…

My beautiful boy was just 6 years old when he left me, this August. He was my best friend, my kid. It’s been so hard without him. He always would put me to bed every night. He loved his big brother Max, who was also so heartbroken by his passing. He took a big piece…

This is wolfie. Wolfie sadly died a few months ago as a kitten from an illness. He was such an amazing cat! He loved to eat and play! He was super fun to be around and made everyone smile. He was super cute and loved everyone! Wolfie was a rescued kitten from a local barn.…

Peanut was a stray from Salisbury. Dad said if I could catch her (he didn’t think I could) then I could keep her. She’s a tiger cat that was born in a boat storage building with 6 other siblings, all black and white. I wanted this one. She certainly lived her 9+ lives from being…

Winston was just 3 years old when he passed away. Although his time on earth was short he had the life of a king! We rescued him from a family farm as a tiny kitten after learning his mother cat had been hit by a car and died. It was love at first site. I…
