Pet Tributes

Leira, also known as my “little patrol dog” had so much personality and a fierce love of life, which is why it’s so hard to say goodbye. She had to be in the know of everything, making sure she was included with what was going on. She wanted to go EVERYWHERE with me, which for…

Our home is quiet. We miss her greeting every time we came through the door. Chippy is also missed by Coopy and her sister, Fishy. She watched over all of us, made sure everything and everyone was in their places and maintained order. She was such a loving and social kitty. I hope our paths…

Deuce was adopted at 4 years old by a family member. When his previous owner passed away some years later his fate was to be given away to an unknown stranger or perhaps another shelter. I fell in love with Deuce when I met him, he had a low masculine “meow”! He was very loving…

Our beloved cat Trilly passed away July 24, 2019. As I sat down to write a tribute to him, I tried to remember every detail of who he was and what made him so incredibly special, but the words felt hollow. Listing his antics and describing his personality doesn’t begin to touch the magic Trilly…

Mojoe Higdon (11-15-2006 to 5-18-2019) It’s been a little over two months since I had to say farewell to you my baby boy. I wanted to do this tribute immediately, but I was so depressed and unable to get myself to face this reflection. And even now I cry at an instance of it, but…

We were incredibly fortunate to have Koda (aka Koda Marie) come into our lives for nearly six years. Basically, he was a 50 pound lap dog that ultimately ran our household. He loved our family unconditionally, was always up for a walk, loved to cuddle, was a watch dog & turned into a broader family…

We adopted Bear when he was 8 weeks old. He was fluffy and kept licking our faces. He was an excellent companion to my daughter. He was very vocal and loved to go on walks. He was protective of our family and we miss him a lot. Thank you, Caring Pathways, for being so kind…

Olivia came into our lives in 2004 when a family was thinking of relinquishing her to a shelter. I was immediately struck by her beauty. Her eyes were gorgeous and her coat had a beautiful orange color underneath. When I first took Olivia to the veterinarian, there were forms to fill out and they asked…

As the sun now sets, without you, I know this: You were the light and effortless parts of myself; you did right by me every day of your life. Your presence gave me solace. I was yours, you were mine, and I am forever grateful.  In having loved him, in him having loved me ❤️.…

We adopted Minnie as a senior pet while living in Albuquerque, New Mexico. As a rescue, she had not learned how to walk on a leash, play with toys, enjoy treats or cuddles. In the 6 years that Minnie became a part of our pack, she learned all these things and taught us so much…
