In Loving Memory of Luna

I have a million pictures of Luna, each one capturing a moment that brings back a flood of love and memories. It was impossible to choose just one, because Luna was everything to me—a constant source of joy, laughter, and unconditional love.

From the very first moment Luna came into my life, I knew she was something special. She was almost 12 weeks old when she joined our family, and she quickly became the center of our world. At the time, I had two small poodle mixes, Max and Chloe, and Luna fit in with them effortlessly. They bonded quickly, and soon, the three of them were inseparable, running and playing together as if they had been family all along.

Luna was a handful, to say the least—but in the best possible way. She had an energy and curiosity about her that was contagious. I was constantly amazed by how quickly she picked up commands and tricks. She was sharp, eager to learn, and had a way of making everything feel like an adventure.

We had big plans when we first brought her home, plans to stay in the beautiful Texas Hill Country and let her roam free on our small ranch. I showed her the fence line a few times, and she never once ventured past it. Well, except for when the pond was dry, and then she would sneak off to the river—but even then, it was her little adventure, and I couldn’t help but smile.

But life has a way of taking unexpected turns. We ended up moving to an island off the coast of Belize, and Luna embraced that change with her usual spirit. Over the next three years, she lived an incredible life full of adventure—car rides, plane trips, boat rides, ferry crossings, and riding around the island on our golf cart. Luna wasn’t just a dog; she was a little explorer, always ready for the next adventure, wherever it may take her.

We packed in so many experiences during the time we had together, and even though it was too short, those memories will stay with me forever. Luna will always live on in my heart and in the stories I tell, in the books I write, and in the lessons she taught me about loyalty, love, and the joy of living fully in the moment.

Kona was truly the best dog I've ever had. She was incredibly loving and devoted, always watching over my granddaughter to ensure she stayed safe and out of trouble. She followed my nephew everywhere, always ready to share in their adventures. I often referred to her as my shadow, as any loyal German Shepherd might be. Her faithfulness and companionship were irreplaceable, and she will be deeply missed.

It breaks my heart to think that she was taken from us too soon. I couldn't bear to see her suffer any longer. My love for her runs deep, and I will forever cherish the memories we shared. Losing her is an indescribable pain, and she will always hold a special place in my heart.

Ellie was the very best dog. So smart even up until the end of her life. I knew she was in pain. Her back legs were not allowing her to both get up and lay down in the end. She'd come to me and paw me as to ask for my help with her pain. She would have accidents every night and she'd try and avoid doing so on the rugs for easier clean up. She just knew so much. She had a great life, playing with all the neighborhood dogs, swimming in our pool every summer, going for daily walks which was her favorite thing.

Our house is not the same without her. It is sad but we find comfort knowing she is running and playing with her doggy boyfriend who passed earlier this year. I appreciate the service of Faithful Friends coming to my home to help her pass. We loved her and miss her dearly.

Your presence we miss, your memory we treasure. Loving you always, forgetting you never.

Rest well, sweet Stella

*A note on the photos to bring a smile: This photo below and the next photo were one of our favorites because Stella was on the arm of the sofa and gave a look as if she had been caught doing something wrong. We let our dogs on the sofa so we certainly didn’t care. It was just so odd because she never previously or after stood or sat on the sofa arm. My wife asked her what she was doing and she calmly sat for one of our favorite photos.

Howard came to our family in 2016, a shelter dog, about 6 years old, abandoned and needing love and a home and we needed a dog. We are so fortunate to have found each other and shared love and companionship for 8 1/2 years. He was the most faithful companion and the most loving and welcoming dog to our family and friends as well as other dogs and also cats. He was obsessed with tennis balls and we played many, many hours of tennis ball games with him. As he aged, he lost his vision and his run slowed to a limp but he still loved to hunt tennis balls even up to his last day with us. It was truly amazing to watch his nose skills and wonderful to see his tail spinning round and round with the joy of the game every single time. He lived his life to the fullest and loved his people better than any dog could until his very last moment.

Run free Howard...until we meet again to resume the game

Everybody always said "He is the best dog". For 13 years, Leo shared his heart with all of us. A constant companion and a gentle soul—his spirit was pure, his love unconditional. He was there laying on his bed through every joy, every quiet moment, and every challenge, always with that wagging tail and those eyes full of understanding.

As we say goodbye to our Leo, we carry his love and light in our hearts forever. Thank you, Leo, for being the best dog, the best friend, and the greatest gift we could have ever hoped for.

Rest in peace, sweet boy. Your paw prints will be with us always.

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.

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.
