In Memoriam Year 2025

After 11 beautiful years with the most incredible dog, and about 14 months of health struggles, Dexter let us know he was ready. We aren’t lucky enough to have children yet, but Dexter filled that space in our hearts and will always be my baby boy.

Over the years, so many people got to meet him—and everyone who did has a story. He was truly one of a kind, the smartest dog you’d ever meet. He could do puzzles, knew his colors, and always understood exactly what you were saying. Now that he’s gone, the house feels so quiet, and I know his sister Kelsie will miss him just as deeply as we do.

I’ll never forget his sweet face—or how we’d joke about his “model face.” I know he’s in doggy heaven now, still serving up looks. We were so lucky he could go peacefully at home, enjoying a steak right before. For the circumstances, it was the best gift we could give him.

We love you so much, Dexter. Thank you for 11 years of unconditional love and joy. I’ll carry you in my heart forever. ❤️

Molly was a very loving and sweet girl. She was a mix of Black Lab, German Shepherd and wolf. When she heard a siren she would stand in the yard and howl. It was so cute to see her do that. She’s running in Heaven with her best friend, who passed 3 years ago. She now sleeps on our headboard with her friend. Our hearts are broken, but we still have her memories to hold on to. Love and miss you, Molly Bear. See you again, my baby.🕯️🕯️💔💔

She She Bee was the sweetest, silliest, most loving girl there was. She loved sunbathing, sleeping, and eating anything in sight. She was a late addition to our family but was a perfect fit with her two sisters. We miss her so much but know that she is now able to eat all the hotdogs her little heart desires. Your mom’s love you Bee❤️

15 1/2 years ago, we picked up a puppy that a couple found lost in the street. We took her home and named her Martian, after a song from our favorite band, The Red Hot Chili Peppers. She was the bit of chaos we needed in our otherwise calm space. And just like the little alien creature she was, we knew one day we would have to let her travel back to the planet she came from and we will be forever grateful for the love of a Martian🛸🐾

Cholula was a strong, sassy, smart, and sweet girl. She was loved by all who knew her and will live in her Mommy and Papa’s hearts forever. We hope she has reunited with her brother Chunks across the rainbow bridge 🌈💖

She is the only pet we’ve ever had that couldn’t be more excited about “going to bed.” Hearing those words would give her utter happiness and joy.

She will be missed by her family and best buddy, Bruno, who is trying to find himself after having her in his life since he was six months old. They were truly best friends.

We will never forget our Fiona “Fifi” Flores. We will leave the bedroom light on for you, girl.

Fiona, we love you and will always miss you! Go get those squirrels and raccoons.

We had almost 11 wonderful years with Jett. He wasn’t just a pet; he was a member of our family. We always called him the perfect dog. He was the perfect mix of protective and family-loving. We brought him home when he was just 8 weeks old—he was our daughter’s 5th birthday present. He loved our girls so very much and was always so patient. Most people would be scared of him when they first met him, but soon would realize he was a big ol’ teddy bear.

His favorite toy was a stuffed mallard duck that we had to replace countless times, along with a green and blue ball that he would squeak incessantly—often until it drove you mad. He loved car rides, visiting Grandpa and Grandma’s house, playing in the water, and prancing around with the biggest branch he could find. His personality was our favorite part about him.

About 13 months ago, he had a spinal stroke that made him unable to use his back legs. At the time, we didn’t know how much longer we’d have with him. But being the strong guy that he was, we were lucky to get another 13 months. Although he spent those months dragging himself around happily, he eventually wasn’t able to even do that. His health declined, and he let us know that he was tired.

I know for a fact that he is no longer burdened by his broken body and is running again. I am thankful that he was able to transition at home, surrounded by his family and an immense amount of love and comfort. I am beyond thankful to Serene Passages and Dr. Scott for making that possible.

He never missed a Bullymake Box delivery, and somehow managed to steal everyone’s blanket and personal space without lifting a paw. Whether he was being dramatic for attention or snoring like a freight train, Francis kept life interesting—and full of love.

There’s truly no replacing our sweet Fran Fran (aka Mr. Banans, aka Mr. Banan-nan). We’ll miss him forever, but we hope he’s somewhere cozy, surrounded by treats, squirrels, and endless belly rubs.

We love you, Francis- until we meet again.

Kitty girl was very sweet kitten we had her for 5 years she had a sister who she was bonded with we miss our kitty girl.

We were blessed to have Zelda in our lives for 17 years. She was perpetually boisterous, with an ear splitting bark and energy to match. Offered a treat or a walk, she would prefer the walk, and was thrilled by the adventure that those walks brought. She cared for and was deeply devoted to her dog mom, dog dad, and her siblings. We loved her dearly and we miss her terribly. Whatever comes afterwards, we know we will see her again.

We are very grateful for the sincere kindness that Dr. Ramirez showed her at the end.

Maxwell “Max” was our sweet boy. We rescued his Momma not knowing at the time that she was pregnant and we welcomed our girl Molly and also got our adorable Max 45 days later. That was 12 years ago. Max was loving and had those trusting eyes and sweet face. He followed me everywhere. He had his own Quirky personality and he would prance around the yard like the little prince he was. Our hearts are broken without him, and his Momma Molly misses her little guy who was her constant companion since he was born. We miss Max so much. We will forever love him and the sweet memory of having the honor of being loved by him and being his parents will be in our hearts always!
– Nancy, Al and Molly

We will all miss you Braxton and forever we will love you. Until we meet again…run free my Boy.
