Monday my sweet, sweet Lucy Abagail crossed the rainbow bridge. My baby was in stage 4 chronic kidney disease and in a lot of pain. Lucy was only with me 4 ½ years and passed at the age of 14 ½. She came to us September 2021 and passed March 9th 2025.
She was a good companion to not only me but also my Louis, he had bonded with her immediately and in the mornings sometimes, she would want to sleep late. When Lucy was ready to get up, she would let Louis know and then Louis would get me to help her down off the bed.
Lucy gave me kisses like no other dog; it was if she had a surplus of kisses just for me. When she wanted a pup cup or a treat, she would give me a couple of gentle pats on the arm. If I said “all gone”, she would give me the evil eye. If she wanted fed or to go outside she would stand in front of me and become a bully barking at me, letting me know I was not moving fast enough. Lol. She loved her daily walks when it wasn't freezing outside. When we walked if a neighbor was outside doing something, she would just stop and become the neighborhood nosey neighbor.
When I came home without her, my dogs looked at me with “where is she.” I explained that “Lucy was all gone”, all three looked at the end of the sofa where she laid and then Louis looked in the bedroom. He loved his Lucy so very much.
Rest my baby girl, you are in no more pain and know, you will never be forgotten. Know you were loved and will always be in our hearts. We will meet again one day.

It is with deep sadness that we said farewell to another family member, our girl Zoie. Zoie was born Dec 28, 2009. Zoie was surround by her mom and dad as she crossed the rainbow bridge February 27, 2026.
She was an old girl, one who lived a good life with her fur brothers Cooper and Oliver, who will be missing her. Zoie is with some of her siblings, who passed before her, Lexie, Maddie, and Chloe.
Zoie was Amanda’s special companion and was always “her girl.” Zoie was a very good girl, sometimes feisty for her size but she sure loved her mom. Zoie never faulted in her love for her mom Amanda, faithful to the core and loved by all. Amanda saw her looking for a home, but walked away knowing they had a couple of fur babies already. She could not get her out of her mind, so off she went and Amanda returned home with the cutest little fur bundle.
Zoie loved her boat rides, pup cups, treats, her walks with mom and dad, ice cream and her baby skunk toy that she carried everywhere. She was always there when we had family cookouts, walked around sniffing out new territories and played with the other family dogs. Never fusing, just enjoying life, and taking a day at a time.
RIP little Zoie, you will be missed, but always in everyone’s heart. As Zoie walks across the rainbow bridge and we say goodbye, she has those who passed before her jumping for joy, wagging their tails and doing zoom’s, waiting to run in the green grass, the colorful flowers and to lay in the shade beside her once again

It's with sadness in our hearts that we share with you Lexi Webb crossed the rainbow bridge on October 12, 2023.

Lexi leaves behind her sister and very close companion, Zoie, her brother, Cooper, and lots of fur cousins who shared her life.

Lexi crossed the rainbow bridge and was greeted by her sisters, Haley, Chloe, and Maddie.

Lexi was a feisty little girl. Her brother Cooper tormented her. Lexi would raise up on her hind legs, toothless with her tongue hanging out, but ready to take him on and would put him in his place.

Lexi loved to snuggle with her sister, Zoie, being held by her mawmaw, Amanda and pawpaw, Steve, eating pup cups, going for walks even though she was bow-legged...lol, and especially boat rides at the lake.

Our Lexi was a sweet girl who flew half way across the country in July 2009 to be with her momma, Danielle. The love, happiness, and faithfulness this little girl gave to her family will not be forgotten. RIP little Lexi, run so fast since your heart no longer fails you. Play with your sisters, lay basking in the sun or under the shade of a tree and know you are loved and will be held in our hearts forever.

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said " it's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
In the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...then come home to be with me...

Webb, Maddie. 15 of Fort Wayne Indiana passed away Tuesday October 4th 2022. Maddie was surrounded by her mom and dad (Amanda and Steven Webb) as she crossed the rainbow bridge, leaving behind her two sisters Zoie, Lexi and her uncle Spartacus. Maddie was greeted by her sister Chloe who escorted her to a place where she can see the colors of the flowers, a blue sky with fluffy white clouds,. A place with huge trees that she can lay under in the shade of its green leaves as the sun shines so bright above her, a place where her heart is strong, legs that hold her body with such strength that she can run, jump, roll and play.
When Maddie was just a pup, if you did something she didn't like she would silently raise her upper lip and show her teeth letting you know to back away. This tiny little thing thought she was a 100lb dog in a 7lb body, ordering everyone around. It seemed this little thing won the hearts of many a person that had the opportunity to meet her. She loved her pepperoni treats, ice cream, walks around the neighborhood, boat rides and snuggling next to Lexi. Maddie play with your sisters Chloe and Haley, your cousins Kealey, Harley, Missy, Milly, Alex, Charlie, Bentley and Murphy. Maddie Run with them, feel the warmth of the sun on your face, the wind on your back, know you will be in our hearts forever, and you will never be forgotten.

It's so sad when I post that another fur companion has crossed the rainbow bridge.

Today CJ & Nancy said good bye to their loving companion Luca.

Luca loved those cheese puffs, I think I remember reading they are her fav. She also loved cuddles and snuggles in bed, home made food, lots of treats and walks with her two legged companions. You are such a gentle soul, and you have always been kind to everyone you met both two legged and four legged friends.

You have been strong and remained a loving, faithful fur baby through your illness. Luca run free, feel young, and feel the soft grass under your paws, the wind on your face, hear the sound of the rustling trees, and eat as many of those cheese puffs that you loved!

Luca, know one day you will hear your two legged and four legged companions walking across the rainbow bridge to be reunited with you once again. You are loved and will be missed until the end of time.

It is with the deepest sorrow that I post the loss of my mom's boy Bentley. They say that we are there world, for my mom it was an equal companionship, because he was her world.

Bentley and my mom understood each other, they were always together. Bentley was her emotional support dog.

For the elderly when they loose a companion it impacts them far more than we can imagine. Their four legged fur companion is why they wake up every day, their fur companion gives them touch. support, unending love, a sense of being needed and so much more.

Bentley was a good boy, he would wiggle that little butt, wagging his tale and his whole body would be squirming to greet you.

Bentleys quality of life was in question as he could no longer be a dog. He could no longer walk without being in pain. The ultimate gift of love that my mom gave him was to allow him to quietly slip away and cross the rainbow bridge. To a place that he could run and play without feeling pain.

Bentley boy run like the wind, go play with all those that have passed before you, wiggle that little butt and know you are loved.

It is with the deepest sadness and broken heart that I said good bye to my Harley-Cilus yesterday. He almost made it to his fifteenth birthday, just two days away. He fought the fight for quite a while, but it was time to let him be at peace.

Through the years my fur companion never faltered in his temperament, he never once growled, or showed anything but his kindness and gentle ways towards all who crossed his path. I can honestly said that all who met him fell in love with his adorning face.

After his soul mate Milly passed away several years ago, he never bonded with another fur companion, his love was always Milly. When Harley-Cilus heard a firetruck he would sit on the patio, raise his head and howl. It was the most perfect of howls and then Milly would go and sit next to him, prop herself up on her hind legs, place one front leg on his back and howl the most awful howl you ever heard, it was pitiful, but together they were two peas in a pod. Harley-Cilus only attempted to howl once after he lost his soul mate. It is with solace and gratitude knowing they are reunited once again.

Heaven is a place where you’ll feel no pain, you will be able to get up without the help you have needed, you will see clearly and hear once again, you can run through the water, and play ball feeling young and vibrant. Howl with Milly to your hearts content, play with her, run together through the green grass and the beautiful colored flowers and know you are loved.

Say hello to those that you knew and passed before you: Kealey, Milly, and Missy. Until we meet again, Tess, Louie and I will hold you in our hearts, we will talk of you and think of you often.

I thank all of my family, Amanda for being with me when saying good bye, my sister Dorothy, Collin, and Anna lee who helped take care of my Harley-Cilus.
