Scout
2012 - 2024
Scout, our beloved 12-year-old companion, passed away on Sunday, September 8th. This small but fierce dog held a special place in our hearts, and her memory will continue to bring us joy.
Scout loved the simple things in life - napping alongside us, perching atop the couch, and running joyfully through the backyard. She was a fierce protector, barking at strangers until she deemed them trustworthy. Yet beneath that tough exterior, Scout possessed a heart overflowing with loyalty and affection.
When I moved to Tennessee, Scout quickly made our new house a home. Her ability to adapt and find comfort in any situation was truly remarkable. Scout's vibrant personality, intelligence, and unwavering bond with our family will be deeply missed.
Though Scout's life was far too short, the impact she had on our lives is immeasurable. We will cherish the memories of her humor, her cuddles, and the special connection we shared. Scout may be gone, but she will forever remain in our hearts.
We love you Scoutie,

Shay
2012 - 2024
11 years will never be enough time with our girl. Shay was one of a kind, she had that special thing about her. I have never known or heard of a more attentive animal in all my life. I know my words will fall so short! She continuously showed our family what true love looked like. She was my shadow, one I feel at a loss without. She wasn’t just a dog, she was a part of our puzzle that we will miss eternally. We miss her snuggles, her playing, her need to be held, we even miss her counter surfing! We simply miss her presence in our lives. She was an angel placed on this earth and we feel so honored that God chose us to love her. Thank you Dr. Amy for giving her the peace she deserved, the peace she gave us for 11 years. We miss you little one. Run free of cancer and we will see you again!
Missing you endlessly,
— Mom, Dad, Brother, Little Sis and Grandma
Joshy
2009 - 2024
We had Joshy for 15 years. We wanted to name him after a Bible name so we named him Joshua, but somewhere along the road it changed to Joshy. He was such a calm, sweet, and funny dog. He brought joy to a lot of people. Everyone who met Joshy, loved him. He loved chewing on bones, playing tug of war, sticking his head out the car window, pepperonis, pup cups, sleeping on his back with his tongue sticking out, and many other things. His favorite thing was to be let off his leash and have the freedom to smell and pee on whatever he wanted. And he was always there at the end of a bad day to make it better just by saying hi. We will always miss and love him, and we will always be grateful for him.

Steinway
2011 - 2024
We had to say goodbye to our best friend and my first baby, Steinway. Steinway was seriously the sweetest, most loyal dog. He always had a smile on his face and never strayed from our side. He loved hikes, walks, sticks, marshmallows, fires, chasing the birds in the yard, and lots of massages. He was with us following college and celebrated all our major life milestones including our wedding, first home, grad school, transition into my role as a NNP, both pregnancies and saw both of our babies home. He went on several vacations with us including Charleston, Florida, dog beach, Rosemary Beach, and our several trips to Indiana. It feels so hard to imagine any of our future milestones without him and the house is so quiet. We love you bud and will always cherish your memories. I hope to see you again one day! Until then, enjoy life pain free running through the fields and wildflowers.

Nugget
2007 - 2024
We were so lucky to have Nugget in our family for almost 17 years. His birthday was 7-7-2007 so we felt like he was our lucky dog ☘️
In his younger days he loved to take a Sunday trip to my moms and he would run in full force to his Gee were she would have a slice a cheese waiting for him … she loved seeing him as much as he loved going. I know on 3-21-24 Gee was waiting to greet him in Heaven with a slice of cheese!!
Nuggie you are already so missed but thanks for loving us unconditionally ❤️❤️

Sahara
2009 - 2024
Sahara spent twelve of her fifteen years with us. Always sweet and affectionate, she loved to be a lap cat. We are grateful to have had Sahara as part of our story. She made us better humans. It was a joy to experience her affection; it was painful to see her unwell. We are very appreciative of Dr. Smith and Bentley Veterinary Services for helping her pass at home with petting and love.

Chi
2009 - 2024
We got a dog back in college after only dating for a few months. We named him Chi (pronounced ‘Kai’ after the fraternity, Sigma Chi) Chi was the ultimate San Diego party/beach dog. He loved when people came over and learned to tip their red cups to drink their beer. He loved chasing a ball and swimming in the ocean. He made many trips with us and was such a good road companion. He loved to swim and would run and jump in any body of water given the opportunity. Chi has been there through it all—us getting married, welcoming 3 children and making the cross country move with us to Tennessee. Chi passed peacefully with us by his side on March 5th. He made it 14 long years. Us and our 3 sons will miss him dearly but we know he is chasing balls and swimming up in doggy heaven.

Coco
2013 - 2024
Coco, you were a joy to have with us for 10 1/2 years and loved by your family:
Ella, Andrew, Mom, Dad, Adele, Lulu
We will miss you but know you are in Heaven, running in the snow and eating lots of banana bread. We will see you again one day.
We love you.

Layla
2011 - 2024
I could write a novel about the adventures we had or a dissertation about the profound impact Layla had on my life, but none of it would do her justice. She was the most loyal companion and best friend for 13 years. She leaves an immeasurable void. Forever grateful to Dr. Smith and Bentley Vet Services for giving us the gift of being in the comfort of home.

Olive
2013 - 2024
“Our beloved Olive Marie was always large and in charge! In 8+ years, there wasn't a morning she didn't wake us up to let us know it was time for breakfast! She was our Lady of Leisure and fiercely protective of her family with more bark than bite! Sis was our little warrior and love bug with a great stink eye to boot. She loved car and boat rides, and more than anything, just being part of her pack/family. Miss you everyday, Bootsie!”
