“Lexi was a smiling and happy pup who enjoyed playing ball and swimming at Deep Creek Lake the most. She had a forever wagging tail whether she was happy or sad. She loved spending time and snuggling with her dog dad and mom,  Bill and Jess. She was the big sister and protector to her best friend, Roxy. The two were inseparable whenever they swam or played. She was the gentlest and friendliest pup around who will be missed by all. 

He was a sweet boy, who brought joy to everyone's life. He was a little hero, and a best friend. He touched the lives of all those who knew him, and those who saw his pictures and videos of him fell in love with him too. He will always be remembered and loved for the amazing kitty he was. “Baby will forever be my sunshine, shining down on me and everyone he loved.”

Harold was a fun, playful, grateful puppy who left this earth way too young.  We rescued him at 9 months. He came to us afraid of everything and everyone.  Over time, he became the sweetest, most grateful, playful and funny dog.  He was just happy to be alive and cared for.  He followed his mom everywhere, wagged his tail every time we entered a room, loved his food, walks and running in circles in the yard.  He adored his dad and loved playing games with him and his beagle brother.  He even became friends with the cats in the house.  Harold, you are greatly missed.  We will love you forever and never forget the joy and laughter you brought into your lives making life so much richer.  A big piece of our hearts has gone with you.  We hope you are free and happy wherever you are. What a precious, beautiful boy you were never to be replaced. Thank you for being you and for your unconditional love.

    You came into our lives as just a tiny kitten, so unique in your litter. Proving yourself even more unique as we have gotten close with you as a family, you have been the purest hearted spirit and are always ready for love and affection – and some treats! You will be missed and remembered during your favorite meals that you politely ask to taste, putting Christmas gifts under the tree that you always try to open early, the nights we want your knocks on our bedroom doors, and the times we are in need of your lovin' and cuddles. We will carry you with us in our hearts and minds forever our Princess.
“Love   [❤]   , 
Your Family & Friends ”
 

Lily “Buggy” Malinoski crossed the rainbow bridge unexpectedly on July 28th 2020. She will be greatly missed by her human parents Zoe and Jake, but greeted in heaven by her beloved grandma Sandra Malinoski. Lily was an affectionate, fun-loving, and sassy bunny with a truly one of a kind personality. She loved giving kisses, zooming and running around, eating treats, and relaxing with her favorite stuffed penguin. Lily was loved by every person she met during her time on earth, and will be remembered fondly and missed by many.
 

Turbo Panda was a rescue from an animal shelter in Portland, OR at 4 weeks old. His name was fitting because of how he would zoom around and do back flips off the door. Turbo was an amazing cat that was smart, curious, loving, energetic, and had a spicy spirit. We couldn't have asked for a better cat. We had an amazing 18+ years with him. He was not only our pet, but a beloved family member and my little snuggle buddy. Turbo was also a great travel companion that had been back and forth from the west to the east coasts several times mostly by car, but also by plane with yearly trips to Minnesota. He loved going for walks on his leash, laying in sunbeams, rolling on his cement sidewalk and stairs in the warm sun, and snuggling under a warm blanket with us. Turbo may you rest in peace in a warm sunbeam. You are loved and nothing can replace you. We will miss you greatly.  

Kobey Foster age 10 our beloved pet – more human though, went to be in heaven on July 3, 2020.    Birthdate June 4, 2010.  His mama was a Siberian Husky and his father was an Australlian Cattle Dog    He will truly be missed by so many human friends and his dog friends as well.  He came into our lives from someone asking at Kelly's workplace if any one wanted any puppies – you know rest of story.  Kobey's masters are Kelly Foster and Jeff Sowers but it was more like the other way around.  Kobey loved his walks and car rides and could not go without either one of them.  If it was raining out he pouted all day knowing he could not get either one of them.  Kobey was very smart very human like of course Jeff and Kelly talked to him since he was a puppy as if he was a human.  He loved his ice cubes.  Had to have lots of ice in the house.  Last but least, he leaves behind immediate family, Joan and George, Aunt Cheryl and Candie their dogs, Olllie and Annie, and Sue and Larry, Ruth and Sam many friends John and Gerrie, Ryan and Erin, his Dog Groomer Lorraine, and his neighbors Terri and Lew and Sharon who would watch over him while we were away on vacation.  Kobey leaves a brother behind and his name is Max, happy and healthy.

June 25, 2020 ~ You went on your own terms which was the way you lived your kitty life. I tried to make you better, Mr. Big. I tried so hard but I guess sometimes all the trying and love in the world isn't enough. I hope you found Elliot, Gibbs, Cody, and Max. You were the best boi ever and I love you, Mr. Big.

Eddie, our 3rd oldest rescue, a 10 year old silver tabby, who was as handsome of a young man that you could ever imagine, passed away peacefully, safely and comfortably wrapped in the arms of his 2 favorite humans, Sam and Johnny.
To say we are all heartbroken, is an understatement. We are all at a complete loss for words.
We will miss Eddie every day.
He brought such love, joy and personality to our family, as do all of our cats.
We Will Always Love You Eddie.
Thank you for sharing your life with us.

~Jesus, it seems this is the time for Eddie to leave this world and to enter Your heavenly garden. Mercifully remove all suffering. Make the transition to death swift and full of Your peace. Usher him into Your heavenly kingdom gently and graciously. We thank You for giving him to us to share our pilgrimage here, and we look forward to being reunited with him there. Eddie, we love you, and we release you into your Creator’s eternal hand. Go in peace.
Amen~
