Sidney January 2009 – November 21, 2021

Sidney was the goodest boy. He died at age 12 after sudden onset of kidney disease on November 21, 2021.

Sidney enjoyed going on hikes, ear skritches, playing fetch, catching snowballs, car rides, laser pointers, tennis balls, his toy “skunky”,  and guarding his territory from squirrels. His favorite games were “I’m gonna get you” and “blanket mouse”, which he enjoyed playing with his human sisters. Sidney dreamt vividly, often barking in his sleep and moving his legs as if running full speed.
Sid loved and was loved by everyone except the mailman.
He was preceded in death by Pistol Pete Mostowy.

Jinks was the loving baby boy of Gramma & Tina. The loving pet of Brooklynn for 17 yrs and Jayden for 10 yrs.  Deeply Loved & Missed but will remain in our hearts forever.

August 20, 2006 – November 26, 2021

Junior crossed the rainbow bridge after 15 years of living a happy and loving life.  He was so much more than a pet, he was family.  Always happy and excited to greet his family when they arrived home; he was a best friend, a great snuggle buddy, and the sweetest dog known to all. 

He loved running outdoors and took great joy in chasing deer, squirrels and other critters off of his land.  He loved walks in the woods or around the block, and was a very serious investigator, sniffing everywhere and leaving his calling card for all other canines.  He enjoyed a good meal, and especially sneaking some table food.  He loved his chew toys and playing tug of war with them.  He also loved running about with his schnauzer cousin Jasz.

Loyal and protective despite his small size, he raised the alarm any time he heard, smelled or sensed anyone or anything around his home. 

While he is gone, he leaves good memories of the positive impact he had on the lives of his family, and he will not be forgotten.

Fanny entered our lives after retiring from a short racing career. From the first time we saw her we knew she needed to be part of our lives. She started as a race dog, later became a certified therapy dog, and along the way became our best friend. She was a goof, she was brave, she was thoughtful, she was caring, and she instantly became friends with every person she met. 

Fanny enjoyed life to the fullest. She found joy in the smallest ray of sunshine, a soft bed of grass and the cold water of the creek.  She was a creature of habit expecting her morning banana, afternoon tooth bones and evening turn down service. She taught us to slow down and enjoy the little things, she was one to literally stop and smell the roses.

Fanny was our girl, our partner in crime and our best friend. This isn’t goodbye, it’s we will see you later, until then we hope you find the best napping spot. 

Grizzly crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Sunday, November 7, 2021 surrounded in person and in spirit by all who loved him. In life, he had a wandering spirit and an easy going and always happy disposition. He valued the simple things in life: food, head scratches, being outdoors, giving snarffles, laying on the couch, and snow….oh how he loved the snow.

Grizzly was a rescue dog adopted in 2010 from the Humane Society of Columbiana County in Salem OH. He was found wandering the streets of East Liverpool OH with his best goat friend, Lilly. Grizzly adopted us and loved us unconditionally from the very beginning and to the very end.

In honor of Grizzly, give your pet an extra head scratch and hold them just a little bit closer and longer. And when the first snow falls, we’ll be sure to think of him! We know he’ll be dancing in heaven.!Thank you Grizzly for loving us!

If you so desire,  in honor of Grizzly, please make a donation to your local Animal Shelter

Luckyboy was the sweetest four legged companion that anyone could ever ask for. He leaves behind Father Nick, Mommy Dianne, two daughters Sweetum and Barsky, and two grand kids Cuddles and Blu. His gentle spirit was experienced by everyone who came in contact with him. He loved to go for rides, to bark at horsies and cow cows. He could play fetch for hours and all toys were his. He had the warmest wet kisses and the cutest wiggling tail stub.  His love was unmatched by any other dog. Loyalty was his middle name. He loved to go to work with his Mommy. We will never forget him doing happy paws or duets we sung together.  He was a blessing for 15 years. The one and perfect gift from God. Now he is in heaven with his first love Pretty Girl, daughter Little Prett, and best buddy Bee Jay. He will now take care of Danny and Bubba and sing with the angels. He will be missed every day. Good by our friend and companion, buddy Luck, Mr. Lucky, our boy, butter butt, my nutter butter peanut butter sandwich cookie, buddy boy. We had many names for him. We love you! Mom and Dad

Charlie passed peacefully, alongside his mother and father of 10 years, Saturday, October 23rd, under the care of VCA Met Vet West Animal Hospital.
Charlie was his mother’s baby boy, and his father’s best buddy. He was loving, gentle and filled every room with joy. Charlie brought endless amounts of happiness into his parents lives and loved them unconditionally. Charlie loved kisses, butt scratches and his good boy treats. Charlie was happiest when walking alongside his father in the woods. One of Charlie’s last happiest moments was laying in the grass, with his nose up in the air smelling the fresh outdoors. 
Besides his parents, Josh and Kristina Pekich, Charlie leaves behind his sisters Molly and Bailey, his loving grandparents, human brothers, and many amazing family and friends made throughout the years.
 

Felix at the young age of 2 and half was sadly called home. He was a fiesty ball of fun. He had  such a rare personality and is truly going to be missed by everyone that knew him.  Especially his mommy who he loved so very much.   
Sleep well my baby and I'll meet you at the bridge.
Mommy…
 

Gately was adopted on May 1, 2016, and we were lucky enough to live with him for almost 5 and half years before he passed away at the age of 17. Gately was called “the sweetest cat” by almost everyone who met him, and that’s how he’ll always be remembered: As a gentle and loving sweetheart, who purred even when someone else was getting pets. In just a few short years he transformed from a scaredy cat hiding behind the dryer to a confident boy who knew how to get our attention whenever he needed help with the stairs, the back door, or his litter box. Gately loved tuna, Catnip Greenies, his squeezie treats, laying in the sun, snuggling with his person, gnawing on the strings of his elastic toys, and getting brushed. We will always love you, bear; be at peace with your sister XO

16, of Gibsonia and formerly of Clovis, New Mexico, died a natural death on October 16, 2021. A proud cat, Daphne was very meticulous with her fur and groomed it to absolute perfection; her white fur reflected and glowed in the sunlight like an angel. A clever cat, Daphne was an expert communicator and knew precisely how to tell her humans what she wanted; whether it was treats, attention, sitting in her favorite window, or just giving them a piece of her mind. A loving cat, Daphne wanted all the pets and throat scratches; she always knew how to make her humans smile and laugh, and her devotion to them had no bounds.  Daphne was a gaming buddy, a movie buddy, and a snuggle buddy. She is, and will always be, The Goodest Girl. She is survived by her two humans, Elizabeth and Robert.
