LUCIA HAMLETT WEBB
December 10, 2010-February 17, 2025

From the first moment I saw her in a big cage at the Pasadena Humane Society, I knew she was the one. No tags, no microchip and yet someone had taken the time to train her and make sure she was housebroken. How, I thought, could anyone lose a little dog this sweet and not turn the city upside down looking for her? The 15 years of her life were happy, full, playful and-- for the last two of those years--she got me through the heartbreak of my husband's death. I take solace in knowing that both of them are now together and simply waiting for me to join them at some point in the future. Even forever would not have been long enough to have Lucy in my world.

Cooper

Cooper was the first dog I had as an adult. He came to me from the shelter scared and anxious, but over the years our bond deepened and his anxiety became less evident. He was my soul-dog. He comforted me when I cried, he always brought a smile to my face when we went out on adventures, and was sure to secure the perimeter while camping before nestling under the covers for warmth. He was everything I wanted and more. I may never find a love like this again, but I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to know him, and love him. He was loved by many friends and pets and we all grieved this loss but we know you’re no longer in pain. 2.22.25 was one of the hardest goodbyes I’ve ever had, but you were here at home, with all the comfy things and us right next to you. Thanks for always being you baby boy.

George

“Georgy porgy puddin pie, kissed the girls and made them cry, he says I don’t know why, I’m just a little guy”
George was not a dog. He had the eyes of a human and with one look you just knew he saw your entire soul. He was the best road dog, companion, best friend, soulmate, anyone could ever ask for. Growing up in the sandy beaches of California to hiking snowy mountains he never complained and changed lives everywhere he went. He truly was special, and will be missed everyday until we will be together again.

Sam

We cannot express the gratitude we have for you and the care you gave Sam. Sam was a joy to us for 12 years . He loved barking out the car window to let everyone know he was going to the park. His brother Bandit left us the day before Sam did and there is a giant hole in our hearts but we know they are both running and chasing balls.

Simba

The bestest dog that there ever was, always aiming to please. A willing chaser of balls, leash-pulling walks, bone-chewing, fence-barking, snack-eating, and tissue-thieving wonder. Forever to be missed. Known for bringing cuddles when cuddles were needed (cuddles always needed). Humorously placing himself in the center of each and every building of pre-fabricated furniture - as if to say - “What can I do to help?” His loss at just shy of 17 years is disorienting and will leave an empty spot in many hearts. We are grateful for the many years of joy and regretful that it had to end. Simba, may you run free and fast. We hope someday to join you and give you more well-deserved treats. Signed with sadness, your beloved family.

Shepherd

Our Great Pyrenees hard working dog was a Dedicated Protector & Guardian of his farm till the day he passed. As hard as he worked he loved. One of our favorite things to do together was to sit and watch the sun come & go. R. I. P. Until our souls meet again my friend.

Peanut

Our Peanut came to us as a very young stray. We guessed she must have only been a year or two old. We couldn’t find where she lived but did find out soon enough that she was going to have kittens! We decided to “foster” her and her kittens. When the time came, this sweetheart of a cat had her babies in my daughter’s closet! I tried to relocate them to the bathroom but Peanut kept taking them back to the closet and there they stayed. We ended up keeping her and two of her babies, as we just couldn’t let them all go. So 16 years later, at about 18 years old, Peanut let us know she was ready to cross the rainbow bridge. As our hearts were sad, we let her go.

Lucy Girl

Our Lucy was a neighbor's kitten during snowmageddon. We would see her picking her way around that mess. She was always friendly from a distance. She started spending the night in our garage, in the winter of 2020. Never having had a cat, I had no idea what to do. After a month, she was showing signs of illness. I took her to the vet. Bladder stones. I asked the neighbor if I could have her. She recovered from surgery in our home. The dogs figured out that staying about 5 inches away was in their best interest. Eventually, though, we had to get a king size bed so that all five of us would fit. She loved going into the back yard with the dogs, checking things out and laying in the sun. Her biscuit making was the best. She loved to be held and brushed. She opened our hearts to cats and we are thankful and so happy to have had her join our family. We fell in love with you, Lucy girl, and we are so sorry that your little bladder failed you. We will miss you, your meows to be fed, and your little paws and head butting to be massaged and petted. You will be loved forever.

Bella Luna

We brought our sweet Bella Luna home in early September of 2009 just a few weeks after getting married. She imprinted on our hearts from the very start. She was a valued member of our family and part of so many treasured memories. Our children have only known a life with Bella and her companionship was a gift to us all. Although she could be quite stubborn because of her Beagle and Pug traits, she was also the most loyal and loving dog ever. If I could go back in time I would choose her 100 times over. She loved popcorn and french fries, walks where she could take the lead, laying in the sun, snuggling with us on the couch and in bed, and just being with us wherever we were. She was a true companion for 15 + years and will be dearly missed. It was the hardest thing to say good-bye to our girl, and we are so thankful that her last moments could be spent in her home where she was most comfortable. We are thankful to Gentle Goodbyes for making that possible and for the caring staff that helped our sweet Bella cross the rainbow bridge. 💛🌈

Corkie

Corkie was a loving member of our family for a glorious 14 years. She gave her heart and soul without reserve. She was a friend to everyone but also a fearless protector. She acted as a self appointmented nurse maid to those sick or injured and would dutifully lay beside them during illnesses or while recovering from injuries, checking on them and giving gentle reassuring kisses. She was able to share her feelings with us through her amazing facial expressions, she had a smile that was a mile wide and bright as the rising sun. Corkie proved to us that love does not need words to exist but instead it flourishes in actions and dedication and in shared moments.
The memories of our lives will always be happier simply because she will continue to share our lives with us in them.
