Our dear loving companion Taffy, you have left us all too soon.  Even though you have physically departed your memory is a constant reminder of your unselfish love and care for my wellbeing.   Over your 13 1/2 short years, you never left my side and no matter how you felt I was your first concern.  The Joy and Happiness you haven given me is immeasurable.  You will remain in my heart forever!   Love, Dad

Statix Zombie Howard passed away on May 10, 2018 with his Mom and Dad by his side.  Zombie put up a hard brave fight against Cancer.    We fell in love with him the moment we saw him with his golden red fur and big floppy ears.  He was a clumsy puppy who enjoyed destroying one of each shoe, power cords, and cell phones. It took him forever to grow into his big head and huge feet.  He loved everyone and everything, well except fireworks and toe nail clippings. ...

I've lost my baby girl. Anyone who knew me, knew she was my shadow. She was always dressed so pretty and ready to go everywhere mommy went, if you saw me you saw Tina. People would come to my gas station to see her and what she was wearing that day. My little angel carried me through the most difficult part of my life. She had struggled through these last years after having a massive seizure 7 years ago which robbed her of her personality and left me broken hearted. On Thursday morning...

Rudy was our dear beautiful "old guy".  He had the soul of an old gentleman.  He loved to amble about the yard and rest in the sunshine.  Rudy would have been the perfect therapy dog because he loved to be rubbed and petted.  He would sit at your feet just to be petted and would paw for more.  He allowed us to hug him and cry when we lost his sister, Honey, just 2 years ago.  After her death, he seemed to know how much we needed him.   His...

Lexi was a breath of fresh air that wafted into our lives eleven short years ago.  She was a sweet princess with a fierce devotion to her doting mommy.  They were an inseparable pair and, when they were apart, it was very clear that Lexi was patiently waiting for her mommy to return. Her favorite place was wherever her mommy happened to be.  She loved rides in the car, begging for food, lounging in the warm sunshine, begging for more food, laying on the cool tile floor, and...

We lost a member of our family today, January 29, 2018.  Sweet Abby, you will always be in our hearts.    She loved walks on the beach and riding with her head out the window with the wind blowing in her face.  She was as good natured as any pet you could find.   Abby you will be greatly missed!!

On January 22, 2018 Lil Bit went to Heaven to be with his two brothers, Buster and Petey.   We were blessed for over 16 years to have had Lil Bit as a part of our family.  He was full of love but would protect "his girls" if he had to.   We will always cherish the precious memories we have of him. He will be greatly missed.  

On Saturday, September 16, 2017 our precious Isabelle crossed over the rainbow bridge.  She filled our family with so much joy from the moment she pounced into our home 15 years ago!    Isabelle was always such a curious kitty and was nicknamed “the mechanic” because she loved to watch anything and everything being tinkered with.  Our family will miss her body sliding into wrapping paper on Christmas mornings and “barking” for treats! ...
