Bitsy Farmer
Bitsy was a rescue for my husband kooper and I. Everytime we came home she would greet us at the door with a smile and her tale wagging. She loved going on road trips, cuddling, and soft blankets. She was very protective of her family and always shoved her love in the most unique ways. She was our best friend. She will be joined in doggy heaven with her brother Scooby who passed in 2020 at 14. We cannot wait to be with her again one day.
Rest in peace our sweet Bitsy.
Sweet Baby Caleb
We saw him in a crate for adoption at Gebo’s. He was shaking and was wearing a necktie. No one showed interest in him and this was his third time there. When Gail saw those big brown eyes, she fell in love with him and wanted to adopt him. Charlie asked “are you sure??” and Gail said “Yes!”, so he snuggled in her arms and we took him home. We had 5+ years with him, and they were wonderful. During that time, he taught us many things: Get up early in the morning to watch the sun rise, Enjoy the sun every day, Eat your meals on a regular schedule, Don’t stay out in the cold rain, And take a very brisk walk every day.
Caleb was a real lover and reminded us to be loyal to those who love you, show your love to others every day, meet new people and find friends, and take care of your neighbors. He found joy in life and told us to travel everywhere as much as we can, learn to play and laugh, find joy in every day, and enjoy treats! He always was grateful for what we could give him, and taught us to be Thankful for a safe warm home and regular meals and Reminded us “when you are afraid, remember that someone is ALWAYS with you.” He taught us that it is important To sing every day, Look at the stars each night… or just look up, Remember family time – family is most important, Take naps, and Remember to enjoy weekends – He did! Finally, he reminded us to ALWAYS KEEP YOUR PROMISES, ESPECIALLY TO THOSE THAT YOU LOVE AND WHO LOVE YOU!!!
Punkin
Punkin came into our lives 13 years ago. She was the absolute sweetest dog and we loved her very much. Her presence is already missed, and life just doesn’t feel the same without her. We are grateful for the memories and all the time we spent with her. Losing her has been heartbreaking. We will cherish all of her little quirks, the way she loved to be scratched around her neck, her precious little face snug between her paws when she was sleeping, her sweet little ears perked up when you got home and the unfailing love she had for all of us. Thank you for being ours sweet girl, we love you and miss you dearly.
Gone but not forgotten Brody
Brody came into our family November 22nd 2011 and departed our family on February 17th 2023๐๐โค๏ธ Brody was a ladies man by far and he was selective when it came to males, however loved my dad and they were best friends. My boys miss and love him too! Anyone who met Brody fell for his cute Yorkie self especially kids but Brody did not like kids.lol He had Lucy as his sister and Dino as his brother and they played and also would get annoyed with each other as well. Brody did enjoy wearing his bandana after getting groomed and he also loved taking drives with my dad in his truck. Brody was also pretty picky when it came to feeding him but when he found something he liked to eat he savored it. Brody would run in circles and also flail on his back which was funny to watch. Brody was special to us and we will miss his whining when he wanted to come back inside the house, and we will miss those ruby red eyes looking back at us with love!! Lucy and Dino our other dogs miss you very very much Brody!! Lastly Brody is up in heaven sitting in my mom’s lap enjoying pup cups and treats!!!
Ally
May 11, 2021 will forever be known as set Ally free day.
Ally came to me when she was a year old because her owner could no longer handle her. I had know her since she was 6 weeks old and she had stayed with me part of that time. This was the start of my love for the German shepherd breed. She was a force to be reckoned with and our bond grew strong. I was never afraid when she was by my side. Who knew we would have less than 10 years together. She was always a strong competitive athlete right up until degenerative myelopathy reared itโs ugly head. She continued to be my hero during the 14 months she fought this disease. She taught me many lessons along the way. She accepted all the changes and still managed to live her best life. As her body failed her, she kept that fighting spirit she had always had. She never gave up, never became depressed and always tried to please me. She was still chasing her ball and was excited to take that last walk in the rain on the day she left her broken body behind. It made the decision all that more difficult. I desperately wanted to cancel the appointment that day, but I knew she would never be ready to leave me. As I struggle to go on without her, Iโll never forget the unconditional love this girl gave me. Iโll love you forever my beautiful girl!
Rambo- Our Sweet Boy
When we moved into our new home in January of 2016, our son, who was six at the time, longed to have a dog. We were worried about getting a dog but at the same time wanted him to learn some responsibility so we asked our in-laws if Rambo, who had been there dog for 10 years, could come visit so we could have a test run. Well, Rambo never left our home until his passing on February 19, 2021, which was exactly 5 years to the day he arrived at our home. He saw us through the happiest and the most challenging times these past 5 years. He was always there to greet us every day after work. He was the first my husband hugged when he was offered a new job. He always knew when we needed to be comforted. During one of my chemo treatments, he jumped on my bed to snuggle. He was not allowed on our bed and knew it was off limits, but that day he knew I needed him. He was always there to see me through the bad days. He guarded our som like his own. He knew he needed to protect the little guy as he would follow him everywhere. He will be dearly missed but Iโm so thankful for the wonderful days he blessed us.

Rest in Peace beautiful Bella
Bella was a loving, high energy, playful member of our family. We love you more than words can express and will miss your loving touch and companionship every minute of every day. I am thankful for the time, even though cut short much too early, that we had together. You spent every minute of each day by my side and kept me company and lifted my spirits when I was feeling down. I love you Bella and I take comfort in knowing that you knew how much we loved you. Rest in peace my furry baby girl. Say hi to Pirate and hope to see you both in heaven one day.
