Tucker was the best boy we ever could have ever dreamed of! He was kind, loving and loyal. In fact, he loved us so much, that he wore his poor little heart out way too early in life.. There won’t be a moment that goes by he’s not being thought of and terribly
missed. Until we see you again Tucker…

Love

Mommy, Daddy, Makenna, Holden and Travis

Oh my sweet girl…we miss you so much. Thank you for loving us more then we deserved.

“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” – Winnie The Pooh

So this is where we part, My Friend,
and you’ll run on, around the bend,
gone from sight, but not from mind,
new pleasures there you’ll surely find.

I will go on, I’ll find the strength,
life measures quality, not its length.
One long embrace before you leave,
share one last look, before I grieve.

There are others, that much is true,
but they be they, and they aren’t you.
And I, fair, impartial, or so I thought,
will remember well all you’ve taught.

Your place I’ll hold, you will be missed,
the fur I stroked, the nose I kissed.
And as you journey to your final rest,
take with you this… I loved you best.

Eddie Dean was the perfect best friend. He never met a person he didn’t like, always knew who didn’t want his attention and who needed extra attention & obliged both. He had the kindest soul and was born to spread love out into the world. So many people learned to stop judging dogs based on breed or looks because of Eddie. He will be forever missed and loved. The world is a little less bright without him.

It’s with a heavy heart to say Hoss crossed over the rainbow bridge. I loved this little guy dearly and have many cherished memories throughout his eleven years. He was a smart, loving and silly little poodle that brought happiness and laughter to kids and adults. Thank you to all my family and friends who embraced him, provided dog sitting and walks, played fetch with his “hoggy” and rubbed his belly. Hoss now roams free from pain and seizures wagging his little fluffy tail, sniffing the grass for pee-mail, and chasing the birds. It was a pleasure to be His Majesty’s servant!

Oh Hef we miss you so very much. My shadow isn’t here by my side but the love and laughs you gave us will last forever. Thank you for making our lives whole. You are in our hearts forever!!

2006-2023
Our sweet boy. You gave us so many beautiful memories. We were blessed to have you in our family. You will be in our hearts forever.❤️

You will forever be in our hearts, precious girl. We love you and miss you so much.

Oh to be a shadow dog.
What an important thing to be.

To guide your human along this life
And really help them see.
That there is no darkness,
Just keep facing toward the light.
I’m never too far behind your heels,
As long as the sun is in sight.

He was the funniest dog ever. We are so grateful and so blessed to be the ones that got to have him. We will never forget him and always be looking in couch cushions for all the baked goods. We love you so much Copper Dog! We will see you again!

As sad as it was to say goodbye, we could not be happier with Dr. Lisa Burnett. She made a very difficult time as pleasant as it could possibly be. She treated us and Sammy like old friends and it was obvious she did truly care about what she was doing and the impact it had on us. We will never forget how wonderful she is.

Budrick!! She was simply the best Kitty Kat in the entire world, and I miss her all day every day and I Love her with all my Heart and Soul…

My sweetheart

Forever in our hearts.

Rest in Peace our beautiful Otis. Thank you for your sweet companionship and abounding love.

My dear, sweet Acer boy,

I feel like I lost a part of me that day. I was talking to my friend after you had passed and mentioned that it had been sunny and beautiful until you were gone and all of a sudden it was cold and grey for days. I told her that you had taken the sun with you that day. She told me that you didn’t take the sun; that you were the sun.

Twelve years ago, driving home in the pouring down rain on a very busy four-lane road, I just happened to see a tiny orange spot in the middle. I swerved into the first parking lot, and dodged traffic, just hoping I could get to this tiny thing in the road before something tragic happened. I scooped up this angry, wet 4wk old kitten and ran back to my car. Right in front of Ace Hardware, hence your name. And so your journey began.

You never played favorites with the family, you loved us all fiercely. You became best friends with a ferret. You were so loving, funny, patient, and smart. There wasn’t a person who came through the door whose lap didn’t become your favorite within a few seconds of them sitting down.

When I got sick, you were by my side through so many days in bed. Brain surgeries, radiation, many other surgeries, treatments, one after the other, and you were always in the bed with me or right on top of me. My warmth. My protector. My comfort. My best friend.

After being able to function again and knowing what I learned about taking care of you, I started to foster kittens. Hundreds of kittens have been raised with warmth, compassion, and love that I learned from you.

Twelve years, five houses, two states, and thousands of miles traveled. Dakota, Montana, Diesel, and Stormie are waiting for you even though Isis and Ozzie call for you daily.

We put your ashes on the counter in the kitchen so we can shout “Ace, get off the counter!” every once in a while. I miss you so much, my little buddy. We all do. I just hope we were worthy of the beautiful soul that you were.

Love,
Mom

Kona, my sweet boy. When you came to us at just a little over a year old with a seizure disorder and having been adopted and returned to the Humane Society once already, I wasn’t sure what our future held. One thing I did know, fate brought me to you and you became such an important member of the family. Life wasn’t easy on you and it definitely wasn’t fair but that didn’t stop you from spreading so much love and joy. I will cherish every minute that I got to spend with you and I will forever miss our naps and snuggling on the couch together. No more pain and no more suffering, only love and peace for my sweet baby Kona ♥️

Joey was the ambassador for Animal Friends Alliance and the love of our lives. He loved us and talked to us every day and loved both, David and me, in his own way. He was the best and we miss him terribly. He was the love of our lives. 😻

My sadness is profound.
Even I cannot understand it.
By chance, or fate,
You became family.

That little mauve colored nose
Outlined in brown black that I loved so much.
That one peach paw.
That soft white chin.

So many adventures,
So many memories.

The vicious Mama bird chasing you,
Full speed, around the yard.
You had knocked down her nest.

The daily hunts at the
Home on the river.
You had a wild side to match
That wild cat look.

How you’d come running to lick the bowl.
Somehow knowing we had ice cream.

The alpha-catitude
That drove me to frustration at times.

The eighteen years of unconditional love.

I wanted you to live forever.
I cannot bear that you are gone.
I see you everywhere.
I want to touch your tortie fur.

I pray you are at peace.
I hope Saavy and Jasper
Were there to greet you.

I will see you to the end of my days
On the hilltop where we buried you
Under an angry Wyoming sky.

You were the best protector. Your family and chickens miss you. Thank you for everything Mercy! We miss you!

Daisy Duke, you were wonderful in every way. I’m so glad you were in our lives, and wish we would have had longer with you. We will never ever forget you.

Furever in our hearts…

Jack was a mixed breed of dubious origins. At 20 pounds max weight and in his prime he managed snakes and the occasional armadillo that showed up in my mother’s Florida yard. For 18 years he enjoyed the couch, the bed and a collection of pets that he was sometime friends with. The last week of his life was spent at South Bay campground around Horsetooth Reservoir and was able to sniff out the ever present goose poop. Thank you my friend for getting me through the pandemic.

Thanks for choosing us as your family, Ella! We had a great 15 1/2 years with you.❤️  I hope that kitty heaven is stocked with plenty of bacon and smoked Gruyère cheese – your favorite treats. We love you and we miss you. You were the Best! Your Loving Family

Our Bullet was the best of the best of the best. If his treat was brand new, he had to share it with us first. He would sass both of us when he had his own opinion. He brought us so much joy when we saw his face waiting in the window when we came home. We lost him the way too soon, but he will be forever in our hearts.

Thank you sweet Maya girl for 15 years of love and loyalty. ❤️

Hims was the best boi that loved everyone.

We love you Max Kitty. You’ll stay in our hearts forever.

As each day passes, we miss you more than ever, but we know you are home and in good care! You and Zeus have fun, buddy, have fun!

Our sweet Sadie girl. We are so lucky to have shared the ride with you for a while. You left a mark on our hearts, and we’ll never forget you, buddy.

Freddie was always so shy. I helped him find confidence when the girls didn’t want to play with him. He was very sweet and cheerful. He had a long life filled with playing with his ball hanging out in the hammock in the back yard. I’m still getting used to my life without him. I am so grateful that I had the pleasure of knowing him and the joy of giving him a safe and playful home. He was a good boy!

2002-2021 My sacred receiver of energy, Noble Warrior, Fighter for love. I will carry you in my heart.

Boomer the Dog… a member of our family for more than 12 years. Always his own dog, but a really good dog. We love and miss him.

We all miss Lygon but cherish the time we had together. She was adventurous, sweet, and a little naughty too. Have fun on the moon, Lygs!

Kuma- the prettiest pitbull girl, you effortlessly filled our hearts with life’s most priceless gifts: unconditional love, companionship, laughter, forgiveness, and joy. In remembrance of my very best friend -you are profoundly missed, and forever loved.

My heart breaks with you gone. No more pain and suffering for you my best friend. I thank God that I had your precious companionship for thirteen years. I miss you so much already…as the loneliness is overwhelming. In time, my heart will heal the emptiness I feel now. When the grief has passed and my tears have dried I will smile at all the loving years we shared and once again my heart will swell remembering your unconditional love for me.

Our beloved rescue dog, who lived seventeen great years with us, gets to now play with his best friend Ruby in dog heaven.

A wise soul, who understood so much.
Your absence is felt profoundly. OX

He was a good boy!

Molly was a member of our family for 15 years. She brought laughs, love, and joy and was the absolute sweetest! We miss her dearly and she will forever be in our hearts. ❤️

Sweet Rossco buddy I know you are reunited with your best buddy Bo. You went on many adventures traveling to rodeos and various places across the country and loved to go anytime you could. You were the toughest dog around and got into plenty of mischief. Miss you so much and will see you again! Love you Rozzy

My precious Fiona,
Seven years is too short of a time but you were not meant to go on a grand, new adventure with your sister and me. You were meant to live your life in Cheyenne. I will miss those beautiful eyes imploring me to get out of bed, feed you your special treats, or just sit down and love on you. My “fuzzy bear” I will miss the touch of all that soft hair that went everywhere. You will be forever in my heart.

To Charlie,

My sweet Nubbin! I’m not sure how to do this life without you. When I tattooed you on my thigh I said it was so we would always walk together not fully prepared for the day that would be the only way we went walking together. Thank you for being my source of love, laughter, frustration, and stinky farts. Thank you for making me your whole world and being mine. I miss you every day but smile through the tears because I know how lucky I was that we got to love each other.

Love forever and always,

Mom

Our sweet Doogie was with us for 15 years! He was the kindest and sweetest of souls. He will be so greatly missed. We hope you’re running around with your brother. We love you with all our hearts sweet boy!

Charlie was such a beautiful boy. We loved him every day for 18 years. He was a monster as a kitten and only loved my husband. In his prime he enjoyed watching birds and peeing on laundry lol…. as he aged he became a lover. He was with me all day every day. He enjoyed gardening and eating most! We miss him terribly but are so glad he’s not hurting anymore. We love you beautiful boy. Xoxo mom and dad.

Never forget that in between Hello and Goodbye, there was love – So much love ❤️ 🐾

For 20 years you were our sweet little baby. Whenever we see a sunbeam we will think of you. We miss you Star.

Bruiser was the sweetest dog I’ve had in my life. He was just so full of love. He would go into work with me and made the residents and staff smile. He would sit out front on the sidewalk just so he could get extra pets and help the neighborhood have a better day, he even liked the delivery and mail people. Bruiser also turned some cat lovers into dog lovers too. He loved going for walks and riding in the car. He loved being around anyone, especially me. He was my friend, confidant, my support dog, and a great teacher. He was a two-time rescue that came from New Orleans after Katrina, and he absolutely loved the snow. I miss him terribly and hope to see him at the rainbow bridge. Have a blast up there my sweet friend.

Love you, Opie San.

Johnny was the heart of our home and is missed. He was always designated to be in charge when Rex and I left the house.

He was disabled when I got him from a broken pelvis, but he got along fine. Two other fosters returned him bc “he was too much.”

I did a ton of Myofascial release therapy on him and acupuncture and got him
Moving better than ever.

Quite the opposite he was a HUGE SPACE holder and lover for my home, work, and ceremony.

I always joked that he was the best listener in the house, I have no idea who trained him, but he inserted himself in our life so easily. He was always just love…not one growl ever out of him…he totally made me fall in love with Pitties…

He became a healer dog….he would hold
Space in my treatment room for years, by my side. I called him my Shaman Dog.
Some sessions he would position himself around the room and help me move energy.

Then a blind black sister cat came along….and well….he sat back and let her take over graciously.

He loved laying in the grass, soaking up the sun, and trying on various hats. He loved playing dress up for Matteo! He loved opening presents too!

His jobs were done…he healed me through some of my toughest moments with nothing but LOVE… now he can chase as many rabbits & deer with all his legs.

💚🌈💚

Thank you Dr. Lisa, for allowing us to say our goodbyes with french fries, laps and yard time. You will always be connected to our hearts.

Our sweet little Miss Macy Gray went to Doggie Heaven. She was truly a fighter as she pushed on for 9 more months than was expected and for a little dog, that was amazing and we are forever grateful for the extra time.
She was purposely spoiled and went everywhere with us within the U. S., traveled more than most people, and gave us more ❤ love as well. We love her and miss her and are a little bit lost without her💕
We truly enjoyed our time with her here on earth❣
