Goodbyes are never easy, and the farewell to our faithful and unconditional companion has been so heartbreaking.We were so lucky to have spent almost 18 years with our feisty, hardy, loving, and playful Ari! We thank God for giving us so much time together, but no matter how long it was, it will never be enough.Every single day we spent with him, he gave us so much. Not only did he teach us what innocent, unconditional love looks like, but he also brought a greater sense of purpose.Our days moving forward will never be the same, as he has taken a chunk of our hearts with him.October 10, 2006 - July 17, 2024

Callie came to us as a stray from Kentucky in 2011. She lived a beautiful and spoiled life with us for 13 years. Callie loved food and attention. She has been the greatest girl a family could ask for. She was reunited with Puddles, Tinkerbelle, and Achilles in pet heaven. She will be so missed but we know she is enjoying a peaceful afterlife.

Frosty was a little sweetheart from the moment we met her. We adopted her from a home with a lot of kittens, and it quickly became clear she was the one for us. As the second cat to join our household, she was shy and nervous, often hiding under furniture or becoming easily scared. But when she opened up, she was incredibly sweet, and the bond she formed with those she trusted was deep and meaningful. It felt like a true connection, one that was more loving and profound than many human relationships.

Though timid by nature, Frosty had her moments of strength. She would occasionally stand her ground, whether it was to stand up to our other extroverted cats, Sabre and Spicy, or when a visiting dog upset her. There was a little bit of feistiness in her gentle heart. And she also had an undeniable love for wet food. She lived for the moments that she heard the pop of a tuna can or the opening of a Meow Mix cup. She was easy to please in this way.

Frosty was sensitive to loud noises and would often hide under the couch during storms, especially tornadoes, making it hard to find her when we needed her to be safe. But Frosty’s instinct was her most notable trait, which is why it was such a high honor if she trusted you.

We started calling her our little flower as she got older, partially because her quiet meow reminded us of what a flower might sound like if it could speak. It was our way of capturing her sweetness and how she quietly bloomed in her own time, sharing her love with those who were kind to her.

Being the runt of her litter, she was always easy to carry, small and light, but what she lacked in size, she made up for with emotional intelligence. She seemed to understand how people around her were feeling and would respond with such tenderness. Her only condition for giving love was that you be kind and gentle with her.

Frosty was more than just a pet; she was a sweet soul whose love was simple yet profound and impactful.

Coco was truly was a friend through and through! I always loved how her eyelashes matched her fur and how beautiful she looked underneath the sun, like an angel! Rest well, sweet Coco.

Bulli was the sweetest dog who loved our family, especially our 2 boys, to the fullest. He was always full of energy and enjoyed all the snacks my 3.5 year old boy would share with him.

I am missing him already. This day has been rough but we know he’s in a better place with no pain. Will love him always!

Our sweet Benji brought so much love and happiness to our family. 13 years wasn’t enough time to spend with him. He will always remain in our hearts forever. He welcomed home both of our kids after birth and was often our best friend through all of life’s constant changes. Your sweet, innocent and kind disposition will never be replaceable, Benji.

Rest in peace, our sweet baby, and we will see you again.

When you ran after the school bus and my grandma and I couldn’t find you, I burst into tears. My grandma tried to reassure me by telling me that we could ask my mom to buy another dog. I refused immediately and said I didn’t want any other dog but Snowflake. Even at 5 years old, I loved you entirely and knew there would never be a dog as great as you.

I’m 23 now, and that sentiment still holds true. I love you entirely and know there will never be a dog as great as you.

I’ve been avoiding writing anything at all because I have been telling myself that if I continue to postpone this, it will be like nothing ever happened—that your death isn’t actually official. But it is. You gave us 18 amazing years, and the least I can do is put into words just how much I (we) love you, Snowflake, even if that means acknowledging and confirming the heartbreaking reality that you are, in fact, gone.

Like a snowflake, you were unique in your form and being in every way possible. You understood words and phrases in two different languages, and you’d stand your ground against dogs twice your size. Sometimes silly, always loving. You traveled everywhere with us, including to a different country, and you were always such a good girl. Your curiosity was that of a person, and your kindness was like no other.

I will miss you when I get home from work and have no one by my side to eat with. I will miss you every morning when I walk down the stairs and see that you are not there. I will miss throwing a big party for you on your birthday, like we’ve done since you were 1. I will miss seeing the gifts under the Christmas tree that had your name on them. I will miss you when we pass the park we used to take you to, where you’d run so fast. Snowflake, I will miss you always.

There are remnants of you everywhere, so I know that while you’re there, you’re also here. Thanks for keeping a lookout through the window every day until you couldn’t anymore. I hope you’re running fast and eating all your favorite snacks and food.

I love you, Snowflake. To the best dog ever and the most incredible companion.

Para mi querida Snowflake

8/14/2024

En estos momentos donde una profunda tristeza invade mi corazón, solo quiero agradecer a Dios y a la vida por haberme dado la oportunidad de que fueras parte de nuestras vidas. Ahora, que te has convertido en un ser de luz, hermosa, puramente blanca como la nieve, mi querida peludita quiero agradecerte desde lo más profundo de mi corazón aquello que siempre nos diste, tu gran amor incondicional y leal. Sabes, me duele mucho tu ausencia física pero ahora te has mudado a un lugar especial, donde no hay dolor y tu cuerpo es fuerte como cuando eras pequeña, ese lugar es mi corazón, en el cual estarás por siempre.

Única y especial con cada recuerdo tuyo a través de estos 18 años, tus travesuras, caminatas, aventuras y viajes juntos, pero especialmente tu compañía de cada dia.

Duele buscarte en casa y no encontrarte, pues hoy tu presencia física, ya no está; mas sin embargo quiero que sepas que tu recuerdo vivirá por siempre en mi mente y mi corazón, pues puedo verte y escucharte en cada rincón de la casa.

Snowflake de más está decirte lo mucho que te queremos y lo que significas para nosotros, más que una mascota siempre has sido un miembro más de nuestra familia.

Gracias Snowflake, extrañamos inmensamente tu presencia física pero tu esencia y espíritu permanecerán por siempre, eres y seras un ser muy especial en nuestras vidas. SNOWFLAKE mi angelito canino por siempre 2006-2024.

Sinceramente...

Jazzy, age 16, was our faithful canine companion for 15 1/2 years. On a whim, in April of 2009 at PAWS Chicago, she rescued Alicia and began an inseparable relationship. Jazzy was full of personality, being the bridge builder of relationships as she and Alicia moved around. She was loved by so many including her extended family Aunt Barb and the late Uncle Don who used to insist that she be dropped off at their house for playdates, while Alicia worked. In her early days, Jazzy loved to be the backpack rider on many bike rides, enjoyed outdoor dining adventures and never missed an opportunity for a long walk with her infamous prancing style of walk. She was known for making each day a "Best Day Ever"!

As time went by, she welcomed Mike and eventually Dylan and Mason into her family circle. A faithful companion to all, she truly was the "best" dog companion to have with young children. Despite developing epilepsy at the age of 7, resulting in multiple seizures a month for the rest of her life, Jazzy showed resilience and remained faithful to her family.

Run Free Jazzy. Thank you for making us better humans and teaching us that each day is a Best Day Ever!

Baxter Montalto

November 10, 2010 - August 13, 2024

Baxter was our family dog for almost 14 years. He helped raise 4 boys and was the most loyal dog to his mom and dad. We will always remember his steel stomach - over the years he has eaten mouse poison, a pound of chocolate covered coffee beans, an entire box of ding dongs WITH the wrappers and a piece of his birthday cake with the candle still lit! Through every accident he never got sick, just went about his day wagging his tail and enjoying all the attention his brothers gave him. We will miss watching him play with his favorite toy, giant rocks, and him waiting everyday at the top of the stairs for everyone to come home one by one. We will remember him for his unwavering loyalty, goofy personality and we can’t forget his click clacking all around the house because he hated getting his nails cut. We know he is up in doggie heaven chasing his tail again and waiting for mom so he can resume follow her around everywhere to protect her from nothing! Thank you for being the best dog to all of us, we love you Baxter!

Until we meet again,

Mom, dad, Anthony, Mikey, Joey and Junior

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of C**ton Frederick von Budweiser the First, a loyal and cherished friend to Sean and Maggie for over 13 years. C**t's time on this mortal coil filled our days with love, adventure, sometimes exasperation, and joy only a galloping galoot could bring.

C**t could adapt with the best of them, moving over a dozen times and counting at least 14 different humans as his roommates. The constant change never fazed him, so long as he had his pack with him. His determination showed up in all of his favorite pastimes: swimming until he dropped, sniffing out every last dropped crumb, and running as fast as he could towards anything that caught his attention.

A true gentle giant, C**t had a special love for children, probably because they would either give him treats or regularly drop food for him to clean up. Born with the most perfect velvet ears, to know C**t was to love him.

It also often meant falling prey to his tricks: he would carefully lead any unsuspecting human directly to the treat drawer - no matter how many times the secret treat location moved - and then demand a reward for being so clever. However, what he had in cleverness, he more than lacked in grace and spatial awareness, constantly tumbling around and erroneously believing he was a lapdog. Reader: weighing more than 100 pounds, C**t was not a lapdog.

His big heart and loving nature touched everyone who knew him. C**t is already deeply missed, but his memory will forever be cherished by Sean and Maggie and all who had the pleasure of knowing this 100% original guy. Run and swim free, C**t.

I will miss you something awful Chewbacca.

Even though his sight was failing him, when not in my lap, his gaze would wander the room. To reassure him, I'd wave, a silent promise that I wouldn't leave him.

Every two hours, even overnight, I'd take him out. In the dark stillness, I'd shine a light on myself, letting him know I was there by his side.

As his hearing faded, I'd hold him close to my chest, humming a slow rendition of "Hakuna Matata." He'd feel the vibrations of my voice, a comforting melody in the quiet.

I don't get to do that anymore....

My heart is shattered into a million pieces. I can't imagine life without your 3 pounds of unconditional love. Until we meet again, Chewbacca. I'll miss you more than words can say.

Gotcha date: November 6, 2011

Angel Pup date: May 15, 2024

Nickname: Ringobingo

I became Ringo’s mama four days after having a major surgery. I was staying with my parents during my recovery and my mom went with me to the animal shelter. I remember walking through all of the rooms with dog crates, making note of which dogs I might want to meet. When we got to Ringo’s crate, we had to look at the tag to determine if he was a cat or a dog because he was so scared and hiding in the shadow in the back of the crate. He had been picked up as a stray and had been in the shelter for about a month and a half. I asked to meet him and we were put in a room, and I also got to walk him on a leash outside. I remember him being scared at first, but he jumped up against my leg when we were outside, and I decided to take him home. In the car on the way back to my parents’ house, I named him Ringo, since I’m a huge Beatles fan.
