When I remember you, I remember the first time we met. I look back at our time together with absolutely no regret. When I remember you, I remember the first time I looked into your eyes. I couldn't believe my luck; I thought I had won first prize. When I remember you, I remember when you stole my heart. I knew from that first moment...
Biggest and Kuerth were best friends for 10 years. 10 years goes by so fast. There never was another boy and cat that loved each other as much as they did. Biggest you will be missed, with love....
Valentina, my beloved feline companion, had a peaceful transition at home on January 5th. She was approximately 18 years old. The legend was that she was named Valentina because she was rescued from the streets on Valentine’s Day. I was a foster fail and adopted Val almost fourteen years ago. Val and I moved to Arlington, VA in October 2016 and...
I am so heartbroken to share that we said our final goodbyes to Norma. She was a loving and incredibly smart dog until the very end. From her adventurous days as a 4-month-old pup to an almost 17-year journey, she was a big part of our family. Norma lived a full and happy life, and we'll forever cherish the memories....
Elmer was the most affectionate, energetic, and happiest Basset Hound. His only other previous ailments were a bout of kennel cough and happy tail - when he wagged his tail so hard from happiness that he sprained it and needed pain meds and a restriction on tail wagging that was impossible to abide by. If you have ever entered our...
Sapper President’s Day weekend 2008 I was watching the Fort Riley news channel where they were featuring a “Pet of the Week” from the post animal shelter. They called this mini-panther “Arrow” and said his time was about up and he needed a home. Of course, I went and adopted him. Adam was deployed so it would be a surprise. We...

Nelson fought hard to be in this world. He was a kitty who was found as a stray along Glebe Road, some 18 or so years ago. He had infected, diseased eyes and it would have been easy for the shelter to euthanize Nelson as a kitten. Instead the shelter saw how much he liked to eat and had a...
DJ, you entered our lives as the little sibling we wanted for Vishal. I vividly remember the day when we brought you home at just 3 months old. You were so tiny and unsure, you didn't even know how to climb the steps, and I would carry you up. It was an instant connection between us. What struck me was the...
