We let Louie go on 3/21/25 once he started losing his battle with cancer. It was a hard decision to let our younger boy go, even though it was the right one. He was our little gentleman. He gave hugs, liked to smile, and was always wagging his tail. His big ears won...

A 3 year old basset hound with the most loveable eyes you'd ever seen. Born in Texas, he picked up the duty of kitten dad and is the only basset hound that could never howl, no matter how hard I tried to teach him. By 5 months, he'd already beat parvo. At 7 months...

THE IRREPRESSIBLE MR. LUCKY! Hardly a delivery or trash truck, visiting stranger, or passerby on the nearby trails (human and/or canine) failed to arouse his ire! And then there was mealtime, door activity -- and he'd go berserk at a broom or vacuum cleaner! A great...

This was really hard to write took me 3 weeks but my chemo was with me for 15 years. I got her at a rescue and from there they said I had to come back in a week as she was a very sick puppy and they couldn't release her until she was better. The longest week of my...

We adopted Sugarbaby from a breeder, as a retired Mother, when she was six years old. She had lived in a pen, had never seen grass, never had a collar, had never been on walks, didn’t know how to maneuver seven stairs, and wasn’t house broken. She was the sweetest,...

When Jackson came into my life in 2017 they told me he was probably about 10 years old and maybe had another 2 years in him. He was originally named Cody and I still think that’s why I had such a bond with him from the first second that I saw his picture. They just...

Luca was the happiest, brightest, most loving boy out there. He was my loyal and steadfast little buddy. He radiated joy wherever he went. He was my little shadow; he would always follow me around and be there for me without fail. To be around Luca was to know love....

Duffy McDoodle was so smart, funny and bossy in a cute way. We miss her dearly. She helped me with foster pups, visited hospitals and nursing home to bring joy to people. She liked people more than she liked dogs.

Marley and Mel were the only 2 survivors out of a litter of 5. What a blessing they were in our family's lives. Marley always had plenty to say, and when he did, he looked right into your soul. He was truly a human in a cat's body. He meant so much to our family and...

Dr. Mavi came to my home as my 19 yr old Missey was ready. The Caring Pathway- is very Caring as she explained step by step what was gonna put Missey to sleep. As Missey’s sweet soul slipped away, it was so peacefully happening, as I felt her going into a deep sleep....

How lucky I was to have something that made saying goodbye so hard. I loved you for your whole life with me and I will miss you for the rest of mine.

My Dakota was a rescue and was 4 when I got her. She passed at 15 1/2 and was the best dog I ever owned. I have had dogs since '62, and Goldens since the 70's, and she was the best dog ever!. Miss her greatly, as does her cat, Scooter. RIP my princess.

On the cold night of February 7, 2008 I arrived to a country home in Combine, TX to pick up the only male in a litter of 6 Blue Heelers at 6 weeks old. As I sat in the floor surrounded by these 6 pups I watched the one I came for lazily sit, scratch and stare blankly...

Kalé Cleaver 2008-2022 He was the most loyal and intelligent best friend I ever had.

Mya was the sweetest dog I have ever known. She had a very hard first few years before we adopted her. She was skinny, afraid of people, aggressive towards other dogs. But when she finally did trust us, she did so completely. She wasn't fearful anymore, and was good...

BooBoo came to our family the day I went to Petsmart to buy an aqua plant for the beta fish. BooBoo looked so tiny in the huge pen. She came over and captured my heart. My wife needed to agree so we returned, reunited and rejoiced at the idea of being family. BooBoo...

He never met anyone he didn't like.

Thank you, Heidi Girl for your love, comfort and friendship. You will be dearly missed and forever loved❤️

In 2009, when we were ready for another member to our family, we went to the Larimer Humane Society. There they had this adorable pup, approximately 6 month old named Lucy. She was white and spotted, like a leopard and her ears stuck up like a rabbits. She had a pink...

Oh my sweet Gracie Mae… I loved you the moment I laid eyes on you. Not only were you the CUTEST pup, but you had a sense of confidence, independence, and presence about you that I deeply admired. You didn’t need the assurance of love from anyone, yet you were so...

Piper was a great companion who has been missed by her family. She was a small dog with a very big presence. It didn’t take her long to become the boss of the house. Only natural with the small dogs to take that lead role. She loved us as much as we loved her. She...

Harley 10/02/2006 – 11/08/2022 My dear Harley, on November 8th, 2022 I said goodbye to you. I cherished every moment we had together. You were the best feline friend I’ve ever known - the best cat I ever had and I’ve had quite a few. As a little girl, I’d dress up my...

Oh how I adore Theodore. Teddy with the good heart. Four thousand four hundred and sixteen days was not enough to spend with him, but it was enough to realize how fortunate I am to have the been his mom. I adopted him at 10 months old and I wasn’t sure at the time if...

When we first met Piper he was a bundle of joyful energy. He filled a hole in our family we did not even know we had. Piper loved to eat just about anything you gave him, and among his favorites were oranges, carrots, and ice. His favorite game was tug of war, and he...

It's taken me 3 weeks and 1 day to work up the courage to write this and even now I still have a hard time accepting that this is real. There is an emptiness in our home without and a missing piece of our family. Gunner you were our first boy and for 12 years you were...

Dear Flower, Thank you for letting me be on your journey and a special Thank you for being a part of mine. 3/25/2008 - 9/3/2022

This is Harley. He was the sweetest of souls. The day we went to the shelter Harley shoved his way right into in our hearts (despite us wanting a smaller, shorthair, female dog), ironic right? Harley had quite the personality. He loved playing with a tennis ball but...

Sami or Sami girl (lab mix) was adopted in 2012 and since then has brought joy to our lives. She loved camping, exploring, running and kiss attacks. We always called her our crazy girl. Rex or Rextopher (rottie mix) was adopted in 2014/15 when we fell in love with his...

Obe was my soulmate cat. We had an understanding of each other I have never experienced with a pet. Our bond was so very special and unexpected. Every night before putting Obe to bed I would sing a song I had made up for him while I brushed him. Then I would put my...

Miso came to me as a kitten. I had another cat who was a little older. I loved Miso but always felt guilty and disloyal to the other cat when I loved Miso. I always thought the other cat came first and should have more love. When Miso was 8 years old she got very sick...

Oh, Arrow. You were such a good boy. You came to us when Justin and I first got married and were with us for 9 wonderful years. You loved to play fetch (but only with yourself). You loved toys your whole life. You loved to groom other animals when you were anxious....

It broke our hearts to have to say goodbye to you, sweet Oscar. When we brought you home 11 years ago, you had already had a rough start and needed to be loved. You quickly flourished with the adoration of our whole family. It drove the family crazy how blatantly you...

Harry, Words will never be able to express the amount of joy, laughter and love you brought into our lives, home and hearts. Our time with you was way too short. We lost you way too soon. Even though we were only together for 4 short years, it's impossible to imagine...

You were a special fur ball that came into our lives. With your big smile, "grumpy growl" and wagging tail you were a happy dog and we were blessed to have you in our lives. The house was filled with love with your presence everyday. Our family and home will never...

I lost my sweet buddy this past Monday. He was my loyal loving companion for 17 1/2 years. My heart is broken and I will miss him until I see him again. I know he’s in a better place and feeling so much better now. Love you and miss you Bear❤️

August 24, 2022 Today is the day that we have all dreaded its coming. When we added you to our family 15 years ago, you filled an empty void in our lives and hearts after losing Petey. You are an amazing and unique fur baby. I have always wished that you could talk to...

On August 31st we said goodbye to our best friend and sweetest boy in the world. Bear, every single step without you is hard. 12 years is a long time, but it wasn’t enough time for us. We selfishly wish you were still here, but know that you are now at peace - no more...

Buster…15 years ago we picked you at four weeks old. Of the litter of chocolate labs your darker color caught our eye the most. You were the most mellow and easy to train Labrador. Walks, swimming in Windsor Lake, and being outside in the yard with us were some of...

Caring Pathways is amazing!! I would recommend this outstanding company to everyone who has to make that tough decision to say goodbye to their beloved pet. The Dr's that came to our home with both of our dogs, made us all feel so very comfortable and at peace. Dr....

Curly came to live with us after my sister died last spring. He’d been a great companion for her for almost 14 years. In his younger days, he enjoyed going camping and for walks (on a harness and leash). We bonded immediately and he became a superb lap buddy. We...

Bo..... When my granddaughter and I walked into your store to find you waiting for us 3 months in a row and finally adopting you and bringing you home, oh my goodness, what a time in our life. You have been the most beautiful blessing from the time you were tease........

When I rescued a senior dog , I did so knowing that they have lived the majority of their years. The plus is that you get to make their last chapter their best chapter! Schatzi picked me to be the author of her last chapter; we seniors, we were two of a kind. Her...

Almost 14 years ago, I tried to foster 4 kittens and Foxy was one of them. I failed as a foster, and my darling Foxy spent her life with me and her 2 brothers (the fourth was adopted and after that I failed as a foster). Foxy was born blind, but she absolutely fooled...

My Ruby Doo, it's been a little over 24hrs since you went over the Rainbow Bridge. I selfishly wish you were still here with me but know you are in a better place running around and playing. You were the best dog I could ever hope for. I will miss you for the rest of...

My Boys, You were the most amazing boys ever‼️ You were always on your best behavior, always smiling, happy, giving kisses & wanting your ball to go the lake. It never mattered where we were as long as all of us were together. Thank you for 13 unforgettable years....

Caring Pathways was a true blessing for us. It was so hard to say goodbye to Buddy. They made his final minutes so peaceful and relaxed. Buddy was one of the best Fur babies anyone could ever hope for in their life. His silliness, his unconditional love, they way he...

The day I adopted Gizmo, I wanted one of the other kittens that had become available at the Denver Animal Shelter the same day. As I walked past his cage a couple times, he would stretch out as far as possible to catch my attention (no other cats did that). He knew...

Sweet Hades, we just said goodbye a few hours ago and we miss you terribly. We knew it was time to relieve you of your pain. We couldn’t be selfish and go on like this. If we could keep you forever, we would. You beds and baskets of toys are here for you. We went for...

Dog. A man’s best friend.  This saying could not be more true about our sweet Beso. It has been 2 weeks since you’ve left us, and not a day goes by that we don’t miss you, think about you or talk about you. Your love for people, your ball, water, going for walks or...

Sweet Harlow girl, you’ve been my best friend since the day I picked you up as a puppy. I’ll never forget our adventures together or even just chill days at home. You are the best girl. I’ll forever miss you. I know you & Rogue are fun-policing dog-heaven side by...

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...

Your name was Duffy, but we called you Duff, Duffs, Duffers, Duffles, Duffleghens, and Duffy bag. Regardless what we called you, know you were SOO loved. 🐶💙 You were my best friend, and always so loyal to mama. You were my best friend, an amazing friend that was...

I rescued my handsome Reggie when he was 2 yrs old, and he rescued me every day for the next 13 1/2 yrs. He was my loyal companion and protector, always by my side or under my feet. He filled my life with love and joy and my house, clothes and car with doggie hair....

We were fortunate enough to have Cooper the Pooper Scooper in our lives for 13 of his 15 years. He was in Jordan's life her whole life and was her puppy. He was a great cuddler and ready to be kept warm under the blankets with you. In his younger years, he loved to...

Nine years of unconditional love. We will never forget, your memories and wagging tail. I remember our long walks, in the morning. Great example of endurance. Now you are free, without pain. Miss you. You'll never be forgotten, and will live in our hearts.

My mom and I have had Copper since he was a puppy. He was the most amazing dog anybody could ever ask for. He was so beautiful and loving, his tail was always wagging and his face filled with a smile every time we came home. I hope he has a safe journey crossing the...

I adopted Khloe in 2013. She was shy at first but quickly came out of her shell when she knew she was safe and loved. She enjoyed both the ocean and the mountains. Her favorite thing to do on hikes was to climb the rocks. She would get up on rocks and look at the...

Since I have dog allergies, we started out with smaller breed non-allergic dogs. Jessie our first golden doodle was our first “bigger” breed dog. She was such a sweet animal and became my husband’s spoiled favorite dog from the first day. She loved to be outside and...

It’s been 3 weeks and just now I am able to do this. Other then your human brother you were the only guy who never let me down! (Even when you would drag your stinky butt over my white carpet) I could never get mad at you! You were my best friend and brought me so...

Buddy, Thank you for being my loving canine companion for seven-years. My sweet Aussie boy, you will remain in my heart forever. I miss your herding nudges!

For Chancy: It's with a very heavy heart that we had to say our final goodbye's yesterday to the best dog, the best friend we could have ever imagined being in our lives. Chancy has been with me through all of my life's major milestones from my late 20's into my early...

Steve Z. did a great job putting Sally to sleep peacefully and respectfully at home in familiar surroundings where she was resting comfortably when he arrived. Sally gave so much to our family for 15 years so I am thankful that I could give Sally this final gift of...

4 years ago I brought Skeeter home from the Dumb Friends League when he was 10 years old. What came out of it was the best 4 years of my life. His love was unmatched, he was so happy and had the biggest personality. He brought so much love into our home right when we...

Tori, you were my first dog. I had everything planned out for months before I was finally able to bring you home. It's tough to put into a few words everything you have given me and taught me over the last nine years and two months. You loved life and people. You were...

My wonderful Wally, gone too soon taken by an illness he was born with. So full of joy and wonder at the world…

It’s been well over a year since the wonderful Dr. Megan Coveyou dropped everything to come and help us when our beloved Fender was suddenly sick, struggling, and after rushing him to our trusted regular vet, it was revealed he beyond rescue. We brought him back home...

Our sweet little Lola. Our hearts are broken. Nothing could have prepared us for the day we had to send you to heaven. 12 almost 13 years was not nearly enough time with you and the words in this tribute will never come close to the grief in our hearts. Tomorrow will...

Oh Jake, my big black curly bear, how you were loved. Dumped at the Humane Society after (we were told) spending your whole life with one family for 7 years, I'll never understand how they could ever have let you go. But from the day we brought you home to be brother...

Our sweet Lola … twelve and a half years was not long enough to love you. You were our sweetest girl, our perfect rescue. You are incredibly missed and loved. Please run free sweet Lo with Tobi, Kingstin and Chewie. See you on the other side of the rainbow bridge, my...

On June 1st we said goodbye to our dearest companion, our dog Aslan. She was with us for 10 years and they went by much too fast. We adopted Aslan a couple of weeks before our wedding, not an ideal time to take in a new dog, but we must have sensed on some deep level...

As I reflect, nothing could have prepared me for the intensity of grief I feel after losing my sweet Maggie a few weeks ago. I got Maggie as a kitten, just over 16 years ago, and never did I think that this shy little girl with a funny leg and beautiful green eyes...

My Sweet Pal. My mom and I found Pal at DDFL in January of 2013. She wanted a companion dog and was hoping to find a fluffy terrier like mine. We saw this sad little pup named Rudy and inquired about him. The adoption counselors grilled Mom because Rudy had been an...

My name is Ansel. I am a rescue dog and had a rough start to my life. I was about 3 years old when I found my forever family and got my second chance. They loved me even with all my fears and showed me the patience I needed to be a happy and trusting dog. It was scary...

From the day we adopted Gunny (Gunny Bear) he was the sweetest most loving cat our entire family has ever come to know. He loved to cuddle with anyone, but especially my husband. They had a special bond. He never tried to get out of anybody's arms that wanted to hold...

“Though she be but little, she is fierce…” The emptiness of the house comes not from the lack of her physical body. But the gaping hole left by the absence of her personality. She never backed down from a fight. And her body bore a tapestry of scars and jagged lines...

There is so much to say about Cara. She came into my life when I needed someone the most. She had severe separation anxiety and would whine non-stop when she wasn't around me. I was her mom, even though I'm a male human. She hated to be on a leash. Leash training was...

Ollie, it's been almost 2 months since we had to say goodbye and we are still struggling to find the words. There's simply nothing we can say that can emphasize how much you meant to us and trying to type them makes it so much more real that you are gone. Simply put,...

There are not enough words to describe the joy this sweet baby brought into our lives. Snickers was a barn cat, born in New Underwood, SD, and when I was just 10 years old, she made it into my life when I wrangled her up and played with her while visiting my...

I adopted Mona when she was two and it was one of the best decisions of my life. I was in college and wherever I went, she went. She was the best hiking, swimming, camping, snuggling, sleeping, eating, car riding, and vacationing companion you could have ever asked...

Rosey, we were so sad when you were diagnosed with bladder cancer. We are grateful to your vets and Caring Pathways for helping make your last year and last moments with us more comfortable. We will miss those cute floppy ears, big brown eyes, and always wagging tail....

So here we are, April 22, 2022. Ares moves on today to heaven, the next phase or plane or whatever. I know this is the best thing for him but that doesn’t make it any easier. It’s very sad to know that after 13 years, he will no longer be around to nuzzle my leg, help...

I had the privilege of being Koda Bear's mom for almost 12 years. He came into my life in charge and like a bull in a china shop. He loved the outdoors and was truly what you would call a Colorado dog. Camping, walks, runs, jeep rides anything outside were his...

Dude - thank you for being my companion and best friend. You taught me to slow down, appreciate life, watch the sun rise, walk a little slower, smile, take it all in. I miss our walks (no one was more excited for a walk than you); rubbing your belly, throwing the...

When I was 12 years old I wanted, no, NEEDED a dog. I begged my parents for one and then I finally got my Bella Rose. I loved this snuggle puggle SO much, I mean, she was easy to love. One look with those big bug eyes and you were hooked. In 15 years she has been with...

Our Harley came to live with us when his first family could no longer keep him. We fell in love with his goofy demeanor. He was our big guy. His favorite thing in the whole world was to play ball. He wouldn’t go outside without his ball. He was everything a Shepherd...
