Our Special Girl Ladybug
A tribute to a beautiful soul…
It is with a heavy heart that I share the news that sweet Ladybug passed away earlier this week.
Ladybug, along with her brother Tiny, were the first dogs I actually got paid to walk. Because of them, I finally found a profession I thoroughly enjoyed and Frankly Pets was founded.
Ladybug was very timid and nervous when I first met her. Over time, however, she warmed up to me and revealed her warm and loyal nature. I absolutely adored her.
Ladybug was not fond of strangers, especially the vet, gardeners, pest control workers, or anyone who came into her home to do repairs. She found the most comfort with her amazing human Mom, Anna Taylor Stowe and her dog brother, Tiny.
Despite her small size of just 7 pounds, Ladybug had a big personality and an even bigger prey drive. She fearlessly chased after anything that moved and kept a close eye on her surroundings.
Ladybug passed away peacefully on Monday with her favorite people surrounding her. I was one of those people - and I cannot express how much it meant to me to be included in this sacred event.
Ladybug was a very special soul—kind, gentle, and deeply loved by those who knew her. She will be greatly missed, but her memory will always hold a special place in all our hearts.
RIP, Sweet Girl.
I made the attached tribute video from the photos I had taken of Ladybug over the years.
Feel free to leave your condolences for Anna here as she will see them. Thank you.
The last time I saw the Doodles was during COVID when wearing a mask was still mandatory. Wow! I cannot believe that was 5 years ago now.
I was worried Teddy, Tallulah, and Kiki wouldn’t remember me…I would have to say I was WRONG! They were so dang excited, they didn’t know what to do with themselves.
…and you thought I was kidding about them being part ninja/part sumo wrestlers.

It is with the heaviest of hearts that I inform you we lost one of our Frankly Pets feline family members, Chloe, on June 22, 2024.
We met Chloe’s human Mom, Lori Brundage in 2017, just a few short months after launching the business.
Chloe was a beautiful, full figured gal with the most chill attitude. She loved to be pet and brushed and she loved her treats. Each time I saw her, she threw herself at my feet, rolled around, and purred. This was probably the reason I had the hardest time getting photos of her!
Chloe was such a peaceful and grateful kitty. She showed up hungry and pregnant on Lori’s back porch 12 years ago - and the rest is history. Lori gave Chloe a forever home and all the love she needed.
Chloe hadn’t been feeling well, had a high fever, and hadn’t eaten or drank anything for several days. Lori knew Chloe was suffering and made the difficult decision to let her go.
Until we meet again, Sweet Girl. You will not soon be forgotten. May your Mommy find comfort in all your beautiful memories together.
Feel free to leave your condolences for Lori here.
