In Loving Memory of Jak

Jak


(02-19-2014 to 03-28-2024)

Jak (aka Buppy) traveled to Rainbow bridge peacefully at home on March 28th around 6:35pm, due to illness. Jak was 10 years old. Jak was a sweetheart. Jack was the best boy.

Jak loved to play with toys, and most would be destroyed within minutes. Jak did have a few specific toys that he was partial to and had for a few years or would get replacements for. He loved his Kong pink double-headed-knotted tug of war toy (if you know you know) and he loved his Nerf brand stuffed ducks that were a slingshot (he averaged about 3-4 a year of those). Jak loved to jump in trees when he was younger. Jak did not discriminate against any treats. He loved all treats and would harass you for treats if you came over. Jak loved to go on walks and check out the neighborhood. Jak would get many compliments on his walks, and we think he knew it and loved soaking it all in. Jak loved Christmas time because he knew he got gifts. He would tear open his gifts on his own the best he could when it was time. Jak was known for his quirkiness. Jak loved to bark at the TV at other dogs. Jak loved to watch and bark at neighborhood cats and birdies. Jak would bark for attention or for just whatever reason he could find. He was very vocal (like his mom).

Jak was a waggy butt doggy and a prancer when he was happy. His whole backside would shake back and forth when he was super happy. Jak wore his emotions on his sleeve and would let you know how he was feeling. We could tell he wasn’t feeling his best the last few weeks and when we found out he had been sick for longer than we realized or expected; we knew then how strong he really was. Jak was as loyal of a dog as anyone could care for. Jak was by his people’s sides when they needed him. Jak was a protector and will continue to protect his loved ones from heaven.

Jak was loved by many persons whom he met over his time here on earth. Jak will be missed tremendously by his family that he leaves behind; Julianna Keeton (James Perkins and sister Gracie); Josh Kinard (and sister Sophie Kinard). Jak will continue to live on in their hearts and in spirit. We all love you. Until we see you again, rest easy Buppy Jak.

Rest In Peace Jak

In Loving Memory of Ollie (Wiggles)

Ollie (Wiggles) was a 6-1/2 year old black footed Ferret. His favorite toys were balls, tunnels, loved playing in his two story box, that I made for him, playing in your tree house. Ollie’s favorite treat was Bandit’s Ferret Treats, his favorite was peanut butter. His favorite thing to do was he loved to do tricks for treats, roll over, sit, walk standing up on two legs, giving high 5. Ollie loved going outside. Snuggle in blankets with mommy. Helping mommy do everything, which included doing laundry to putting groceries away. He would play in the laundry basket, while I put clothes away, and loved snooping in every grocery bag or bag that came into the house. He loved sleeping with mommy and giving lots of kisses. Talking to mimi (grandma) on the phone. He would hear her voice and touch the numbers with his nose. Sometimes she got an ear full. My favorite memories include: The day I got you, the love you gave everyone. The excitement you had when people would walk through the door. Watching on the “Ollie Cam” while mommy was gone. Watching you drink out of your water bowl, and drive it all over the kitchen floor. Splashing water everywhere. You climbing up in peoples laps to see what they had good to eat. The best one was when you got a nose full of Cool Whip. You loved every minute of it, came back for more.

Rest in Peace Ollie (Wiggles)

In Loving of Dior Odell Rishel

Dior Odell Rishel went to be with God and his great grandfather Bennie Mannon on March 4th, 2024 at 10:59pm. He is survived by his mother Londyn Rishel and his fur sister Nova Rishel. Dior also known as Lil dd, was one of the strongest dogs and his strength and fight to live was unmatched. At only 12 weeks old he developed a deadly disease called canine distemper and survived although the fatality rate was 80%. He had some neurological problems because of this disease and developed seizures and a tic in his neck which made him appear like he was bobbing his head and dancing. This never slowed Lil dd down, he was a fighter and his momma Londyn’s pride and joy! Dior did not like toys very much but he loved his soft blankets and his food. He did not play about his food. He would knock you over to get to his food. Lol He wasn’t just a dog to his mother Londyn, he was like her son and he was treated as such. His favorite foods were Waffles, cupcakes, pb&j sandwiches and milk. He was spoiled beyond measure and his mother always shared everything she had with him. Dior loved to run in the backyard and had some of the best spin moves we have ever seen in a dog and he loved to hi-five his momma. Dior was such a blessing to alot of people especially his mother Londyn. The loss she is feeling without him cannot be put into words. Only peace we have is knowing that he is not suffering or in pain anymore. Rest In Peace my Lil DD, May You Fly With The Angels
If love could of saved you,
You would have lived forever!
—-Londyn

Rest In Peace Dior

In Loving Memory of Daisy

Daisy was a 17 year old Siamese/Tabby mix. Daisy didn’t have a favorite toy, she was old and didn’t play with toys. Her favorite treat was cheese. Daisy’s favorite thing to do was to be loved on. She absolutely loved to be petted on. If you went to stop and pull away she would swat you and that was her way of saying “What are you doing? Don’t stop.” She also loved to nap. My favorite memory of Daisy is the day that I found my sweet girl. She was so fat and beautiful! I went door to door looking for her owner because there was no way a cat as pretty as her was a stray! Never did find anyone to claim her, so that day she became my best friend and we spent the next 17 years making memories I’ll never forget! God placed her in my life because he knew we needed each other & I’m forever grateful! ❤️

Rest In Peace Daisy

In Loving Memory of Bella

Bella passed away at home on February 23, 2024 at 8:15pm. She had been fighting an infection, kidney nephrosis, a heart murmur and had spent several days at the Ashland Animal Clinic. We brought her home and nursed her where she was surrounded by all of the people that she loved & loved her as well. Papaw Joe, Granny Bonnie and Daddy Michael were the loves of her life & she was ours. She was a Christmas gift on Christmas Eve 2008 to me from Mom & Dad. But she quickly became everyone’s dog & gave us as much love as we gave her. She lived a very full, loved and wonderfully spoiled life, and she provided us with the same. The loss we are feeling I cannot even put into words. Our only solace is knowing she isn’t in pain or suffering anymore. May you rest peacefully my little “Bellaboo!” We will always love you & carry a little piece of you in our heart.
Love Always & Forever, Joe, Bonnie & Michael ❤

Rest In Peace Bella

In Loving Memory of Mac (Macky-Boy, Mac & Cheese)

Mac was a 1 year 5 month old mix breed. Mac’s favorite toy was a little stuffed mouse, son’s nerf darts. He was very picky about treats, didn’t care much for them. Mac’s favorite thing to do was making biscuits. The minute his paws touched a soft surface he would melt into it to make his biscuits, and roll in catnip. (He was a nip fiend. He knew the sound of the bag and would scream until he got some.) Our favorite memory: He would follow me to the kitchen everytime and always stand behind me so when I would turn and say “Macky” he would stand, look at me, and meow. He would always come to bed and lay with me to make biscuits on his fav blanket. He was a timid, shy cat but had so much love to give if you gave him the time and chance. He never was mean and loved his Ellie (5) and Myles (9) so much. They miss him and how he would snuggle at night. Even the most loving when he was still in pain. Our hearts will forever hold our cheesy Mac boy even though our arms cannot. He will always be a part of our family. He was so loved and our hearts ache hoping we made the right choice. I’ll always remember you on your gotcha day and make mac & cheese in thought of you. Meek misses playing with you and I’ll miss watching my two goof ball boys. ❤️ Your mom, brother Meek, Myle, Ellie and dad.

In Loving Memory of Puppy

I literally fell in love with this girl across a crowded room. We were at a Lhasa Apso specialty dog show in Pennsylvania when I first saw her. Her breeder, Paula Gardner, was kind enough to let her become a part of our family. We tried to name her Zoë, but all she would come to was Puppy. So, that became her name. Puppy crossed the Rainbow Bridge on December 26, 2023, to be with her son, Senge, who left us four years ago. We will greatly miss her very typical haughty Lhasa attitude. She is survived by two girls, Kitsi, with us, and Pabu, with Lynn Kane in New York. Thank you Dr. Chrissy Scarberry for assisting her transition across the bridge. Fly with the angels, my precious Puppy. Fly.

Rest In Peace Puppy

Caduceus could always be found curled up in the lap of Mom or Dad, being carried around the apartment like a toddler, or cradled like a baby when he wanted extra attention. Our fondest memories of Caduceus are coming home to his excited meows, the way he would murr with each pet while walking in circles, before finally standing up on his hind legs and demanding that he be picked up for cuddles.

Rest In Peace Caduceus

In Loving Memory of Mindy

Mindy Ward, went to be with the Lord on Monday, January 8th, 2024. Mindy was approximately 14 years of age and a terrier mix.

Mindy’s favorite thing in the world to do was cuddle. Whether it was with her mom or dad or her two legged or four legged sisters. She got all the snuggles she could have ever hoped for.

No one could possibly pick a favorite memory with her because she was the sweetest, most loving girl in the world. But, what sticks out the most is watching her eat peanut butter.

Mindy was loved beyond measure and will be missed beyond words.

Rest in Peace Mindy

In Loving Memory of Chloe

Her favorite things to do were lay in the sun, cuddle with her family, go “bye-bye,” and sit on top of the couch to feel tall. My favorite memory of her is all the times she’d greet us when we’d get home. No matter how long you were gone, she acted like you had been gone a lifetime. She was always so happy to see you, and sometimes, she’d get so excited she’d pee herself. I like to think Chloe passed because she had too much love in her body for her little heart to handle.”

Rest In Peace Chloe

In Loving Memory of Jackson

Jackson was a 16 year old Westie. His favorite thing to do:  Jack loved to follow me around the house.  He also loved to sit outside in the yard in the summer,  He would sit out there for hours, maybe changing spots every so often. When he wasn’t doing one of those two things, he could be found asleep in his bed. Favorite Memory: Jackson knew how to tell time.  Every day, without fail, he would start to whine at 4:30 and continue to whine until 5:00 which was suppertime. Another favorite memory
is the time I couldn’t find Jackson.  As I mentioned before, he loved to follow me around the house.  One day I was getting ready to go to an appointment and it was time to put Jack in his
crate, but he was nowhere to be found.  I went all through the house, calling his name (which was useless because we think he was deaf), but no Jackson.  Finally, I just sat down on the edge
of my bed and was quiet.  That’s when I heard it, the plaintive whining of a Westie coming from the direction of the walk-in closet.  Yep, he had followed me in there and got shut in.

Rest In Peace Jackson

Tippy’s favorite thing to do was pretty much anything to do with momma, (especially snuggle), hang out laundry with Grammy, drink mom’s coffee.

Second was when she ignored you after being admonished for bad behavior. She would literally huff loudly and/or turn her face away from you.

Rest In Peace Tippy

In Loving Memory of Mia

Mia was born in the desert in California in January 2010. I was 22 and had never had a dog in my adult life. I needed to find a dog who would be apartment compatible for my small apartment in Long Beach, CA. I saw her picture online, and knew she was the one. My boyfried and I drove the two hours to the rescue to get her. She was incredibly shy. As soon as the cage was opened, she darted behind a large desk which took 3 adults over a half hour to get her out from behind. During the adoption process, I held the stiff with fear three-month-old puppy in my lap. On the car ride home, she still seemed frozen. Wouldn’t look at me, wouldn’t look around. I decided I would start saying names, and when she responded that would be her chosen name. Through an hour and a half of this name procession, I started getting silly, naming random things. She finally looked at me when I said, missing in action. Her gorgeous, round eyes finally stared into mine. I smiled at her and asked, missing in action? She kept her gaze on me. Seemed an appropriate name for this little one. I asked her if we could shorten it to Mia. I repeated definitively, Mia. She seemed to agree.

Mia was my constant companion for almost 14 years. I have thousands of memories with her. She was stubborn, never enjoyed the beach or dog parks, walks, or meeting other dogs. She was well traveled; she crossed the US with me by car, coast to coast. She was intelligent, she learned many tricks. Rollover was by far the toughest because it was the last trick she learned at about three or four years old. It was a tough week for us both. We were both extremely frustrated with each other. When she finally rolled over on command, by herself though, it was amazing. The creature of comfort she was, she would only roll over on carpet, a rug, a couch or a bed. Would seek those out if asked to roll over on hardwood, tile or concrete. She liked to be tucked into her bed when not sleeping in mine, always needed a blanket. Loved to lay with her head on a pillow. So many memories of her bring a smile to my face. Like many dogs, she was all about food and could easily manipulate her grandma into scraps and treats. She earned the nickname trash panda from her constant garbage raids. In her later years, she gained cat siblings, all three would orchestrate food theft and garbage bag annihilation. The carnage was unreal. She was with me through the many ups and downs throughout my life, right by my side. I can still feel the warmth of her on the side of my thigh in her favorite spot on the couch next to me. She is deeply missed.

Rest In Peace Mia

In Loving Memory of Bean

Bean.
Our Beany Boi, Beanis Louise, Beaniffer of Vengerberg, Beanis Flytrap, Beanison Rochester III. He came along so unexpectedly, but exactly when he was needed. His job as emotional
support goblin was one he took very seriously, providing his family with fresh biscuits every day even after he got sick. We spent hours on YouTube, playing his favorite fish game and
listening to Pearl Jam. He hated Madonna with a passion.
Bean was loved beyond measure by everyone lucky enough to have met him; we may have only gotten a year and a half with him, but it’s time we’ll never forget. He showed me how to
love again when I thought I couldn’t. We’ll always remember his extreme sass, his unconditional cuddles, and his love for adventuring in the blazer with Nannie. His great fear
of the air conditioner, and his willingness to (attempt) to battle vehicles.

Rest easy, my good sweet boy. Play with your sister for me- I’ll think of you every time I listen to Immortality.

Rest In Peace Bean

In Loving Memory of Chloe

Chloe was a 15-1/2 year old beagle mix. Her favorite toy was a pink barbell squeaker toy that was buried with her. Chloe loved all of the treats. She loved to eat. Chloe loved belly rubs, tearing squeakers out of toys, eating, going across the street to visit the grandkids, and getting company. Chloe loved to burrow under blankets. My favorite memory is when Chloe was still a puppy, one night, while in bed with us, she ended up burrowing into my night gown. When I woke up and moved, she tried to get out and got her head stuck in my sleeve. We laughed so much about that and it still makes me smile to think about it. Chloe is missed so much. She was the sweetest and most trustworthy dog we ever had.

Rest in Peace Chloe

In Loving Memory of Oliver Batman Ashworth

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our cherished feline friend, Oliver Batman Ashworth, who brought joy and love into our lives for eight wonderful years. Oliver, a charming and… special black and white kitty, left a permanent imprint on our hearts with his unique personality and heartwarming quirks.

Oliver’s love for life was evident in his favorite activities. He could often be found atop his treasured cat tree, or playing in his favorite school bus hideout. He had an innate ability to find delight in the simple pleasures, whether it was a sunny patch for an afternoon nap or laying on his back enjoying belly rubs.

Above all, Oliver was truly a connoisseur of fine dining, with a particular fondness for chicken. He delighted in the daily tradition of joining his human family at the table, occupying his own special seat. During the holiday season, his festive spirit shone through as he enjoyed his very own Christmas Dinner plate, complete with delectable ham and creamy mashed potatoes.

Although Oliver was very picky about which humans he decided to grace his presence with, his social nature extended unconditionally to his feline siblings, where he showcased his gentle and loving big brother nature through playful wrestling matches.

As we grieve the loss of our beloved Oliver, we find comfort in the countless treasured memories he leaves behind. His presence, warmth, and his unique ability to infuse our lives with happiness will be sorely missed. Oliver’s memory will forever live on in our hearts, and we remain forever grateful for the privilege of sharing our lives with such an exceptional feline companion.

Rest in peace, Oliver Batman. Your absence leaves a void in our lives, but your memory will forever brighten our days.
