Pet Tributes

Sox was a true angel. We adopted Sox 2 years ago as a “special needs” cat due to a heart condition. She lived a life like any cat! Watched birds, loved treats and belly rubs. The sweetest soul we have ever met. You will never leave our hearts. We love you Sox....

Mira was 100% cat. She was a princess. Folks who didn't know her well said she was "snarky". I said she was reincarnated 17th century French royalty! But, first thing in the morning and last thing at night, she would melt into my lap, and stare at me with her golden...

Good bye my friend.

A tribute for Stan Whether we called him Stan-a-lama ding dong, MC Stanner, Stan-a-saurus-rex, or just plain sweet Stan, we’re so grateful this pup abandoned his aspirations of becoming a service dog to choose a different career path and us as his humans. Stan was the...

Mr. ChaCha was a feisty, in-charge, loving Chihuahua mix that dropped into my heart in 2009 when I saw him through a shelter window. He had kennel cough and was 50% his weight. He was four years old at the time and I immediately became “his person”. We locked eyes and...

My sweet Suzy. Sweetie bean, teeny tiny, sweet baby angel, snoozy, baby girl. Suzy was the most wonderful cat we have both ever known. She was sweet and gentle, while also very playful. Missing half her teeth and croaking instead of meowing, she always made us smile...

This is a tribute to my precious girl Princy. We had to say our goodbyes on Friday February 10th. Even though it was one of the hardest things in life to go through I know all dogs get to go to heaven. I also know she is healthy again and free as can be up there...

To the very end Ms. Mollie was sweet and filled my days with walks and unconditional love. Green beans (her favorite treat) will forever be in my heart. Total strangers would stop to pet her. She touched all those she met (and is still meeting over the bridge). Thank...

Dear Roux, In exactly six weeks you would turn fifteen years old, but you won’t. A part of me wanted to wait until that milestone to let you go, but it wouldn’t be right, just like keeping you here any longer because I don’t want to say goodbye isn’t right. The vet...

Our guy had a life before us… we brought him home from the shelter when he was about 7 years old, scrawny and underfed. But the next 7 years were John’s. From the moment they met, my “boys” bonded and they were inseparable. Buster had an unusually long body and an...

Things we learned from Bear: 1. If you want something (e.g. big pets), ask for it. 2. When your loved ones are hurting, find them and purr for them. 3. If you need some space, it’s ok if people can’t find you for a while. 4. Show your emotions. 5. Wash up before...

Mumu lived a long and exciting life. A dog that travelled many miles, and has so many happy tails to tell. You can choose to believe her stories - some of which can seem beyond belief- but know the truth of her loving heart, and her tenacious protective nature. Her...

Kamilli means"the perfect one" in Swahilli. Being a Rhodesian Ridgeback, it seemed fitting. Unfortunately her life before we were able to adopt her was far from perfect. She had been living on her own with 2 other Ridgebacks in the winter. She was 18 mo old when she...

Ginger, you were the first love of my life and it was nothing short of a dream come true when you came into my life 15 years ago. You were sharp as a whip and learned any trick I could think of to teach you. You trusted me entirely and were my constant companion...

He splashed in the Atlantic Ocean and sat on top of Pikes Peak. He was chased by an otter and stared down by a grizzly bear. He pooped in 14 states. He put his head inside a Thanksgiving turkey and feasted. He killed a pika and protected us from lizards. He helped his...

Baby Fred, We loved you so much and we miss you. You will always be a part of our family. A part of you will forever be in our hearts. You brought us more love and joy than you could ever imagine.

June was the sweetest dog, she loved her people! So smart, loving & ready to do anything asked of her!  She loved her ball playing days and adjusted even after those days were over. Then loved our walks to smell who was out and about. 🐾😎 June has such a strong...

A tribute for Neptune, aka "Tuner" You shared your life with me for 18+ wonderful years... from your independent bird/bunny catching younger years, to your tree-climbing, free roaming, sun bathing middle years, to your last snuggle-filled years, you were my constant...

Our dear Trekker (affectionately know as Buba) was loved by so many people-friends, family, Jason his dog trainer, Caroline and Carrie his dog sitters, and the staffs at two doggie daycares. He brought many new friends into our lives. He never trekked in the way we...

A Tribute for Cooper Charland 💜

Henry lived a long, happy life of 16.5 years. He was born in Hilbert, Wisconsin and grew up near Lake Michigan chasing balls in his Midwestern backyard. When he was 10 he tore is ACL and had a total knee replacement. At 12, he moved to Colorado where he became an avid...

Wrinkles was a casualty of a friend’s divorce. We had 2 other dogs at the time and I hesitated to take her, not sure we could manage three dogs. My husband was sure immediately that we could and she would fit right in. Our other two dogs were both tri-colored hounds...

"The fidelity of a dog is a precious gift demanding no less binding moral responsibilities than the friendship of a human being. The bond with a true dog is as lasting as the ties of this earth can ever be, a fact which should be noted by anyone who decides to acquire...

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,...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

There are no words to describe how Spanky enriched our lives. He was intelligent, funny and full of life. He was the best big brother to Buckwheat, teaching Buckwheat the ropes. Spanky adored his tennis balls and would carry one with him on every walk. He loved...

Kira and Rocky were our companions, work supervisors, entertainers, and best friends for many years. They were each other’s constant friends to the end. You are missed. Stephanie

"Our perfect companions never have fewer than f
