Pet Memorials

Mr. Cracker Jack came to our home about 10 years ago when he was about 5 years old. He traveled with us everywhere and was our faithful yard patroller, ridding the back yard of neighboring cats. He was a very loving dog, sometimes very independent, and at times, very opinionated. He often told my husband when it was time to go to bed! He would spend hours on the arm of my chair while I did my beadwork. Sadly, old age caught up with him and he passed just before Christmas. We are greatly saddened by the loss of our friend and companion.

When we got her she didn’t weigh a full pound. She was with us for almost 16 years. She was tiny, sweet and a joy to our family. She was loved……and will be missed so much…

CJ, was 14, she was the runt of the litter and came from my parents ranch from working cattle and sheep dogs. Her favorite thing was to ride in the dodge truck, going for walks / runs as I was horseback. Playing with basketballs she rolled them, and her pastime was to flatten them.

Miss Lola came to us after we lost our beloved yellow lab Chucky. Here you can see her in her natural element back when she was in good health; in the woods, in the wild, camping. We shared many years of joy and happiness! I love you and miss you baby girl!!!

Jenna was a wonderful lady I adopted from the shelter. She was surrendered because she was balding and nippy. With vet care, she started growing her hair back. She was nippy because she was deaf. She had a very happy, loving life the several years I had her. She was very sweet and cuddly. She will be missed.

I adopted Sister when she was 11. I helped her with her diabetes getting it under control at first with insulin, then later by diet. At 19 her little body was just worn out. She is considered a Tonkinese, which is a mix of Siamese and Burmese (Grumpy Cat).

Always famous, never forgotten. Amos.

Odin was an Irish Wolfhound. Odin and I began our volunteer pet therapy work at Banner Medical Center in January 2022. Odin had his own volunteer badge with his picture and I had mine. He was a show stopper from the get go. My job was to get us to Banner so he could go to work! He did the rest.

Kyrie was a member of our family for twelve years. She understood emotions better than any dog I’ve ever known. Part of our hearts will always be missing.

Spartacus (aka Kisses) was a sweet, mild-mannered Staffy. He knew how to verbally say “I love you” and he meant it. He was a beloved pet, friend and family member, and he will forever be loved and missed.
We love you Kisses!

Zip was a sweet, bossy, loving, and loyal dog to the end. She was almost 17 years old and lived a full life. She trotted countless miles through the backcountry, watched over babies, rounded up chickens every evening, stole bacon, and guarded her people while they slept. Zip is deeply missed.

Benicio was a total love bug. He was the best “little” brother from the moment he came home with us. Tug-o-war with his brother, Ferdinand, was his favorite. Later in life, he became an amazing big brother to Mazie and Meadow as he was always down for a wrestling match and ready to teach them the house rules. He, also, loved to cuddle and share a blanket with his mom or dad. His boundless energy is sorely missed in our household, but we will hold him forever in our hearts.
