Pet Obituaries

Aaron Haenel crossed over the rainbow bridge on Monday, September 18, 2023, surrounded by his loving human family. Aaron loved laying in the sun, lounging around, and of course getting pettings. He never was a big believer in playing with toys but rather always wanted to snuggle up with you and against you. He was the world's biggest cuddle bug. Aaron always loved meeting new people and one of his signature tricks was showing anyone new that he could sneeze on command. He would beam with...

Sadie came into our lives when she was 11 months old.  She had been neglected by her previous owners.  When we took her home, she never looked back.  She was now part of our family and she knew it! "That is the sweetest dog!" was the response we heard a lot when people met her.  There was not a mean bone in her body.  She would greet you with her tail wagging and with a red Kong ball!  That red ball went everywhere with her. Sadie never swam until we...

Toby Gamble was born in January 2009 in Goreville, Illinois.  He brought joy and companionship to his family for 14 years.  He was very much a people person kind of dog but was shy around other animals.  Toby liked to have ALL the attention to himself. He left his pawprints on our hearts forever. 

A beautiful, brown-eyed puppy was born December 10, 2010, and at six weeks of age was adopted and became “Buddy Pritchett”. For many years Buddy loved the farm life he was raised in and most of all, loved chasing rabbits. He was also a skilled underground mole detector with his keen hearing. He never missed a trip in the truck, side-by-side, or sometimes even the tractor. He also enjoyed going to get popcorn at Rural King. Although never formally trained as one, Buddy was the...

Born in 2003, Hugo was a beloved companion to everyone in our home, both human and canine.  He was always patient when small children visited and wanted to pet him or when his Corgi brothers wanted to sniff and chase him.  Always handsome, gentle, and sweet. He will be dearly missed. 

Hannah was born on November 13, 2014, and came to us right after Christmas. Hannah competed in Nose work trials and won several ribbons and awards.  She was a loyal best friend and protector. We walked in the woods together almost every morning. Hannah crossed over the rainbow bridge at home with her family on August 8, 2023. 

Born April 6, 2011, and affectionately known as Bubba Dude fulfilled his companion duties on August 5, 2023. Jet was the best big brother to Kenna and Reece. He loved to play tug of war with his rope, catch with his ball, and most definitely loved to announce his presence when anyone entered his home. He was a fierce guard dog, especially to his momma and didn’t care to get in your way if someone was getting more attention than he was. He was the best wing man when his Daddy asked...

Charlie B. Nguyen crossed over the rainbow bridge on Thursday, August 3, 2023. No one loved hotdogs or chasing squirrels more than Charlie. At one point he lived in Italy! He loved ear rubs and booty pats (wouldn’t go to sleep without them), pup cups, car rides and going to his grandmom B’s house to see his best dog friend Ella. He was the typical big brother to Mose. He built a pillow place underneath our bed, we’re convinced he was running some underground cartel with how...

Coco Moore came into our lives when she was only 8 weeks old.  She crossed the rainbow bridge on Monday, July 31, 2023, surrounded by her family.  Coco was just a tiny sweetheart and was loved so dearly. She will be missed. 

Ozzie was the most amazing, lovable, and caring dog. He was lost due to a tragic accident on July 26, 2023. He enjoyed chasing his ball during his early years. He always looked forward to his daily brushing. He often sat in the shower anticipating his next bath! Ozzie always let you know when it was time for his treats and bedtime. He later preferred to lie on your lap or between your legs for hours. He was always ready for a car ride. He always wanted to be with his “dads”....
