Quinn was the bestest dog, “child”, friend and “sister dog” we could have ever dreamed of. We could not have loved her more. Those who have had the pleasure of meeting this gentle giant know just how loveable she was. There will never be another as good. Quinn exuded love endlessly. We’ll miss her head butts for cuddles and her sniffy “kisses” (she never ever licked). The way she fully leaned in for a hug and the weight of her head on our shoulders, she would stay there forever if she could. Thanks for brining so much love to our lives the last 10 years! We love you Quinn

We adopted Jax from the Mad Catter Cafe in May 2021. He won our hearts right away with his friendly demeanor. He loved being the center of attention and he would wait for both of us to sit down on the couch before getting up himself so he could receive maximum pets. He was the loudest cat we had ever met and would greet us with loud meows when we got home from work. His kitty cuddles were the best ever. We will always cherish the memories of the three of us being a family.

Maggie gave her Dad and Mom so many precious memories that we’ll treasure always. She was more than a “cat”. She was our precious little girl with 4 legs and fur. Every memory with her, even just the times when she would snuggle in your arms, is a favorite. Maggie loved to get up with her Dad every morning at coffee time. She loved affection and made sure you knew when she wanted loves, which was always. She loved to play bunk, box and stairs. Maggie loved it when you whispered in her ear, danced with her in your arms and sang to her. We can’t put into words how special this little soul was and how much love and joy she brought to our lives. We love you our precious little Maggie and we’ll miss you forever. You’ve taken a piece of our hearts with you.

Justis was always praised for her personality and captured the heart of anyone else ever came in contact with. She even helped a few people get over their fear of dogs with her calm and gentle demeanor. She was my heart dog and helped me through so many things in my life. Everything about her is my favorite memory, but a few that stand out are, when she smiled a big smile for her treats, how excited she would get to see me and wiggle her entire body, and when she was a pup how big her ears were and how she had to grow into them, she will be greatly missed and never ever forgotten!

So many great memories over the last 14 years but one that I love since Bailey was a puppy was how much he loved Christmas, he couldn’t wait to get his gifts so he could tear wrapping paper to pieces!

I adopted Casey from a family friend at 8 weeks old in August of 2006. He was the runt of the litter but such a fluffy little ball of fur. He gained many nicknames over the years but for some reason, Pusser stuck. Over our 17 years together, he grew into a gentle giant – over 19 lbs of fur and love. He was a big boy but was so gentle, especially with his little brothers (Dewey who passed away in 2016) and Finnegan. Grooming Finn was one of his favorite things to do and we lovingly referred to him as “Poppy Puss”. He was my constant companion – from post night shifts naps to cleaning. He was always there. The last few years, he started to slow down. I would keep the water running in the bathtub so he could grab a fresh drink without having to go downstairs. If I forgot to turn it on, he would wake me up in the middle of the night to turn it on for him. At night, after we curled up and fell asleep, I would feel his paw tap my face. He wanted pets and love. And if I didn’t immediately respond with pets and love, I would get a less gentle second tap to the face. Pusser got sick and started to decline very rapidly. Making the decision to let him go was gut wrenching and I agonized for days over what to do. In the end, I know Pusser received the loving send-off that he truly deserved, surrounded by his mom and his furbrother Finn. We both miss you fiercely. Run free sweet Pusser. Until we meet again.
