We adopted Cammi from Margaret's Saving Grace Bully Rescue in December of 2020. It would have been 3 years this year. She was about 8 or 9 at the time (she was estimated). Even though I grew up with a lot of dogs and pets, Cammi was truly my first dog. She stood out to me not only because of...

My dearest Zeus, thank you for the light you’ve brought into our life. You’ve been a source of love, light and joy to so many people. You’re the goodest boy and mommy and daddy are so blessed to have been your dog parents. Thank you for your trust and loyalty in us. We will miss your kisses, your snores, the...

Mia, I love you very much and I hope you meet and play with your friends in heaven. My heart is broken without you and I will miss you so much....

It hasn't even been 12 hours yet since I made the heart-wrenching decision to drive my best Big-Little Baby Sara (not to be confused with her feline sister, Lola, my Little-Big Baby) to the vet one last time as her seizures became uncontrollable.

🎵 Who’s the bestest girly in the whole wide world? It's Kaya Louise! 🎵 Let me tell you about Kaya and why she was the best dog that anyone could ever have.

On September 8, 2023 we said our goodbye’s to our sweet Little Lil’s. Thank you Suzie and Lucky Dog Animal Rescue for bringing her into our lives on December 4, 2010. Lily blessed our lives with her endless affection, amusement, unique personality and unconditional love. She proved to be the sweetest and most loving dog, leaving an everlasting mark on everyone who...

Our sweet baby went to the Rainbow Bridge on August 22, 2023 and left our hearts completely broken. He was 15 years old and really was THE best dog. He was truly our "baby". Someone abandoned him and his 8 brothers/sisters at a dump on a very hot Georgia day. Luckily, someone rescued them all and we were blessed to...

"I don't know how I will bear never again having your soft peaches-and-cream little body next mine as I sleep, seeing your "up periscope" tail waving in the air, watching you place each paw precisely in the same spot as you strolled, and laughing over the way you always wanted to "play sheet" when I made the bed and get...

Duke, I’m starting to come to terms with the idea that you’re gone but still waiting for some kind of ‘closure’. Writing your obituary isn’t easy and I’ve been trying for almost a year… I watch memories of you every day – sometimes that makes me laugh or smile. Other times I wind up missing you even more. I’ve been writing this...
