Hunter, born November 2015, passed away at the age of 8 years old on Saturday, June 8, 2024. Hunter, along with his sister, Goldie, joined the family in May 2016 at 6 months old, from the Oxford Humane Society. “Hunter's nickname was "cheesie" because of his cheesie and funny personality. He always had a smile on his face and always brought a smile to ours.” He loved to play jokes. He would often steal a shoe or slipper when his family wasn't watching and move it to another room and then lay down away from it. They always knew it was him because his sister would never do those things. He would open the back door by getting on his hind legs and turning the k**b. He would often do this and let Goldie inside.
Hunter was truly a retriever and his favorite things to retrieve were pillows, shoes, slippers, socks and his favorite stuffed animal, George. In his younger years, he loved to chew on things, especially shoes. His family had to keep shoes away from him, but as he got older he loved to chew on bones and antlers. He also loved treats, peanut butter and chicken. He loved his daily walks and playing in the backyard with his sister, digging in the sandbox, and endless petting from anyone who would give him attention.
He wasn’t always brave, as he was afraid of storms, vacuum cleaners, and kids on motorized cars. During storms he loved to go to his "bunker" which was his mom’s closet. Hunter leaves behind his mom, Rebecca; dad, David; human brothers, Andrew and Benjamin; and his canine sister and litter mate, Goldie Sue. “Hunter was a unique and handsome boy with unique personality traits. There really was nobody like him. And everyone loved him. He will be very missed.”
