In Loving Memory of Shelby ...
Shelby may have had only three legs, but she lived life with a
heart that was whole and overflowing. She found joy in the simple
things—good food, cozy moments, and being by the side of Terry
and Kathy, who gave her a world full of love. Though her world
was small, her happiness was endless. Shelby will always be
remembered for the light she brought into each day.
~ Love, Deb, Paul, and Chris Martin
In Loving Memory of Pepper ...
Pepper was a rescue with a happy wagging tail; it was called the “happy tail syndrome.” The agency said that she was eagerly waiting to be adopted and to find her forever home that she kept hitting her tail so hard at the kennel. Every time someone passed by, she would wag it until she broke her precious tail. Then we saw her online and fell in love with her beautiful brown eyes. The universe puts us all together! She gave us her unconditional love. She taught me to be present, how to age, and the patience we all should have during this process since our pets age quicker than us. We had 14 years of happiness with her; she was only two years old when she came into our lives. Now Pepper has left her body on this earth and left us with pawprints on our lives. Her love, kindness and her happy spirit will remain with us forever until we meet again. Yes, there is emptiness in our home because her eyes, her smile and happy tail are not here today, but if I imagine Pepper and feel her presence, my tears turn into a smile. Pepper will be missed forever, and she took a piece of me with her, which is called love. Love, Pepper's Mom

In Loving Memory of Sterling ...
To Jason
Life seems quiet without Sterling, he was far more than a pet.
He was a family member, a friend, a charming soul you'll never forget.
It will take time to heal and for the silence to go away.
You'll still think about him and miss him every day.
He was such a great companion - loyal and loving from the start.
But you will always feel the pawprints left by him on your heart.
~ From, Rachele & Mike

In loving memory of my fur nephew Cooper on your first heavenly birthday.
We all miss you so very much. You were such a good dog. Your momma was there for you from day one. You were one lucky boy and we were lucky to have had you in our lives. You always made us smile and laugh, especially when we could watch you open your presents. You loved to tear them up and rip apart your stuffed toys in seconds. You were spoiled rotten with treats, including
turkey from gwanma and custom made cakes from momma. We all know that gwanpa is continuing to spoil you up there. We love you sew much baby boy. You are greatly missed Coop.
~ Kisses and hugs from Aunt Neen and Uncle Christian on your birfday!
In loving memory of Paco, beloved companion of Soyoung
"A good dog is something only given to a few people. They are a gift from the universe and, though they're with us only a short time, they never really leave us. They are loyalty and love perfected, and once we are graced with that sort of love we can never lose it. We merely lose sight of it for a time, and that is our fault; for how can love like that ever go away? It can't. It can't, and it never will. For these brave souls trade their hearts for ours, and they beat together beyond sickness, beyond death. They are ours, and we are theirs, for every sunrise and every sunset, until the sun blazes its last and we once again join the stars." By Leigh Curtis

In Loving Memory of Tucker ...
Our family had to say goodbye to our precious dog Tucker. He suffered acute
kidney failure as a result of contracting Lyme disease. ‘Marshall’ Tucker (Tucker was
found in Marshall County Alabama) had a heart shaped birth mark under his snout. I
always said from birth he was a lover . Tucker truly loved being around people just about
everyone he encountered. He was especially fond of children, many of whom he shared
sleepovers and belly rubs. I n his short 5 years with us he traveled from the gulf to the
Adirondacks. We shared daily walks all over northern Alabama and the Tennessee
Valley.
Like a lot of dogs Tucker could be headstrong and stubborn but his loving, caring nature
always won out, and boy he knew how to work a room. While he was not long on this
earth, he left his mark on our hearts. Riley, his adopted sister, would not be part of our
family without her picking him out as a brother while with SGRR. With rescue dogs you
have so many great days and one very bad one. While we are grieving terribly, we do
find comfort knowing we gave him the best life possible during his short stay.
Thank you to our friends at Sunshine for being his friend and sharing his time with us.
