Jag

Jag, our loving and attention-seeking, lab was a dog who always looked forward to a homecoming or, even better, a visitor who he did not know. Jag would search for a toy, or anything in the later days, to present to the first individual to met him. Be it what was left of his tennis ball or a scrap of paper he found, it was his special gift to show us how much he loved us. Boating & water were his true loves. We miss and will remember you, Jag.

Krugar

Krügar : he was more than our pet…our first baby, our protector, or best big buddy, through all the ups and downs…Our hearts are broken, but we know that Krügar is in heaven and we will see him again. Well done my good and faithful servant. Grateful for 11 wonderful years.

Krügar, Our Big Buddy & faithful friend:
1. You never stopped thinking you were a tiny pup, squeezing onto our laps, the couch, or any chair, despite tipping the scales at over 100 pounds.
2. Flopping onto your back, tail wagging like a metronome, eagerly awaiting your daily belly rubs.
3. Rummaging through your food bowl for that one elusive treat, scattering kibble across the floor or splashing it into your water dish.
4. You adored everyone—except the UPS driver. The rumble of that big brown truck around the corner unleashed your fiercest bark.
5. Tucking the boys in at night, wedging yourself perfectly between William and Lennon’s beds, only to shuffle back when Daddy made his signature “beep beep” sound.
6. Barking relentlessly for a bone until one of us finally gave in to your charm.
7. Resting your big head on our bed at 5 a.m., patiently waiting for a pet before we both drifted back to sleep.
8. After a decade of us trying to teach you to nudge doors open with your nose, you decided in your eleventh year to boldly barge into any room you pleased.
9. Letting us deck you out in Halloween costumes each year—you might not have loved it, but you always flashed a grin for the camera.
10.Car rides were your jam, as long as you claimed the spot right behind Mommy.
11. That time Daddy found you head-to-toe covered in mud before work—what a masterpiece of mischief.
12. Freshly moved to Idaho, you took an unsanctioned stroll when Lennon left the front door open. Four hours later, our kind neighbors brought you home.
13. Chasing the boys down the sled hill in the snow, barking with pure joy.
14. Daddy’s ultimate office sidekick, stealing the show with cameo appearances in Microsoft Teams meetings.
15. Racing to the door to greet us with boundless enthusiasm every time we came home.
16. When Mommy was away for work, Daddy would say, “Mommy’s home,” and you’d lose it—running, barking, and tackling her with love the moment she walked in.
17. Positioning yourself under the table like a stealthy snack bandit, ready to catch any crumbs.
18. Working the room during Community group, charming every person for extra pets.
19. Dictating the terms of our walks—if you were done, you’d plop down in the street, and no amount of coaxing would budge you.
20. Mommy’s loyal workout buddy, claiming the abs mat as your throne.
21. Ears perking up like radar at the mere mention of “bone” or “walk.
22. The moment Mommy pulled out her office chair, you’d swoop in and claim the spot with a contented plop.
23. That signature sigh you’d let out after settling into a new spot, like you’d just rearranged the world to your liking.
24. Getting adorably grumpy when Daddy playfully tapped your paws.
25. Krügar, you were larger than life, and your love left paw prints on our hearts forever.

Winnie

We were always cat people, but after our last cat passed, decided a dog would be easier to RV with in retirement. We had never had a dog, but set out to find a small one, & we found our Winnie at a shelter. She had been a stray, but had "household skills"!

She quickly became the queen of the house, & lacked for nothing. And, we were good with that! (We were previously childless cat people "!)

She actually did not care for camping or hours driving, but she went anyway. But was ALWAYS happy to be a sweet companion for us, especially when in her favorite place, the recliner sleeping in her Poppa's legs.

We had this special love for about 8 years. When her life lost its quality, Gentle Good-byes helped us say goodbye to our sweet girl. If you are reading this, you have been there. It is painful. But we are so grateful to Gentle Good-byes for their kind, loving help.

Missing our girl, but grateful to her as well, enriching our lives so much

Chopper

Chopper was born in Chipley, Florida in 2011 and has spent a wonderful 14.5 years with his family, traveling and living in MANY different states. In his younger years he was the quickest little guy who absolutely loved being in the water. His favorite snack was popcorn and his favorite thing to do was snuggle with his mom, sunbathe, and chase squirrels. He had two younger siblings, pictured, that thought the world of him. He was the best boy ever and was surrounded by his loved ones, in his backyard, when he crossed over the rainbow bridge. Fly high my sweet, loyal boy. We will miss you every day. Thank you guys so much for everything! Couldn’t have asked for that inevitable and hardest day ever to have gone any better.

Rocky Gurrieri
June 2017 – August 30, 2025

Rocky was a one of a kind dog. When we lost our beloved Jack in 2017, we knew eventually we would want another companion for our dog Gizmo, but weren’t ready to leap in. So we decided to foster. We got a call about this little 4 month old dog (who they thought was a German shepherd) with mange that needed a foster home. Well, after several delays in healing him up and needing to get him neutered, several months had passed, and there was no way on earth we’d let him go at that point. He’d become part of the family and a little brother to Gizmo. So we foster failed and he stayed with us. We’re so glad that fate worked out that way, as he was an incredible companion to all of us, especially the children. He took his job very seriously every school morning to rush into their rooms to wake them up, he did not want to be denied that opportunity.. He loved outdoor adventures, from playing in the snow, to just simple walks around the neighborhood. He was protective, loving and most of all, family. While our time with Rocky was not nearly long enough, the time we had with him created enough memories to last several lifetimes. I know he is now reunited with his big sister Gizmo over the Rainbow Bridge, and he will be waiting for us there one day as well.

Rio

When my wife rescued Rio from the Idaho Humane Society I was giving her push back but it turned out that Rio rescued me and wasn’t my dog as much as I became his person. He was always at my side and became my best friend and my comfort. I’ll miss Rio dearly.

Lola Tabler-Ulsh

Lola was a beauty, her gentle walk over to say hello, insistence on gaining your devoted attention and her loving lean in’s! She loved all of the attention she would get. She was a great sister to Pipp. Lola was born June 29 2016. She was such a love. Potty training her was interesting. She would not use p*e pads. She would chew them up. But Brother Pipp helped to teach her.. Lola will most definitely be missed by her dads and brother and everyone’s lives that she touched. RIP my sweet girl.
