2025 Memorials

Bubbles

Olive

Brooklyn

Brooklyn came to us at 6 months of age from BBB rescue. We had the honor of living with her for 14.8 yrs. Stubborn as all get out but she would crate up like no one's business. Wicked fast, I'm sure she could have held her own with any greyhound. We miss her everyday and my heart will always ache. Knowing she is with KD & Athena is a small comfort.

Bella Tanikuni

To my sweet Bella, thank you for coming into my life and making it the most wonderful years. I hope you know how much you mean to me, you were always at the door when I got home to always snuggling with me, to wanting me to give you more treats and I always did.. All the trips we have taken to together will forever be in my heart. You brought me so much joy and I thank you so much for that. It's so hard to say goodbye but I know we will meet again my angel. I love you more than you will ever know.

Milli

KAI

Kai was loyal, loving sweetheart and will be truly missed him so much.

Girl

I was lucky enough to rescue her as my very first dog. MawMaw and I shared 13.5 beautiful years together, filled with adventures that created a lifetime of memories.

She was patient and stubborn and usually hungry just like me. When she wasn't busy being the best road-dawg there ever was or hunting wabbits in hers sleep, you could find her snuggling under your legs, just waiting for a good ol' butt scratch. She had a snort like a little piggie, never met a chew toy she couldn't destroy, and, as you can see, was pretty as could be-especially those begging ears. On any warm afternoon you could find her lovely self sunbathing on the deck or giving shakes and high paw fives for treats.

She's deeply missed, forever loved, in great company over the bridge, and will always be remembered.

Angels

Angel was the most gentle, loving, beautiful and sweetest dog you could ever know. She gave us the best 10 years of life. She was never just a dog, she was our family. In our hearts she holds a place no one could ever fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone. For part of me went with you when God took you home. We will forever miss you and love you Angel Girl, but we will all see you again. When it is our time we will meet you at the gates of heaven and give you the biggest hug. Until then, run around and play with Chewy. We love you Angel, you were the best dog we could have ever asked for. Thank you for loving us. Until we meet again.

Corkie

Corkie was a loving member of our family for a glorious 14 years. She gave her heart and soul without reserve. She was a friend to everyone but also a fearless protector. She acted as a self appointmented nurse maid to those sick or injured and would dutifully lay beside them during illnesses or while recovering from injuries, checking on them and giving gentle reassuring kisses. She was able to share her feelings with us through her amazing facial expressions, she had a smile that was a mile wide and bright as the rising sun. Corkie proved to us that love does not need words to exist but instead it flourishes in actions and dedication and in shared moments. The memories of our lives will always be happier simply because she will continue to share our lives with us in them.

Bella Luna

We brought our sweet Bella Luna home in early September of 2009 just a few weeks after getting married. She imprinted on our hearts from the very start. She was a valued member of our family and part of so many treasured memories. Our children have only known a life with Bella and her companionship was a gift to us all. Although she could be quite stubborn because of her Beagle and Pug traits, she was also the most loyal and loving dog ever. If I could go back in time I would choose her 100 times over. She loved popcorn and French fries, walks where she could take the lead, laying in the sun, snuggling with us on the couch and in bed, and just being with us wherever we were. She was a true companion for 15 + years and will be dearly missed. It was the hardest thing to say good-bye to our girl, and we are so thankful that her last moments could be spent in her home where she was most comfortable. We are thankful to Gentle Goodbyes for making that possible and for the caring staff that helped our sweet Bella cross the rainbow bridge.

Lucy Girl

Our Lucy was a neighbor's kitten during snowmageddon. We would see her picking her way around that mess. She was always friendly from a distance. She started spending the night in our garage, in the winter of 2020. Never having had a cat, I had no idea what to do. After a month, she was showing signs of illness. I took her to the vet. Bladder stones. I asked the neighbor if I could have her. She recovered from surgery in our home. The dogs figured out that staying about 5 inches away was in their best interest. Eventually, though, we had to get a king size bed so that all five of us would fit. She loved going into the back yard with the dogs, checking things out and laying in the sun. Her biscuit making was the best. She loved to be held and brushed. She opened our hearts to cats and we are thankful and so happy to have had her join our family. We fell in love with you, Lucy girl, and we are so sorry that your little bladder failed you. We will miss you, your meows to be fed, and your little paws and head butting to be massaged and petted. You will be loved forever.

Peanut

Our Peanut came to us as a very young stray. We guessed she must have only been a year or two old. We couldn't find where she lived but did find out soon enough that she was going to have kittens! We decided to "foster" her and her kittens. When the time came, this sweetheart of a cat had her babies in my daughter's closet! I tried to relocate them to the bathroom but Peanut kept taking them back to the closet and there they stayed. We ended up keeping her and two of her babies, as we just couldn't let them all go. So 16 years later, at about 18 years old, Peanut let us know she was ready to cross the rainbow bridge. As our hearts were sad, we let her go. T

Shepherd

Our Great Pyrenees hard working dog was a Dedicated Protector & Guardian of his farm till the day he passed. As hard as he worked he loved. One of our favorite things to do together was to sit and watch the sun come & go. R. I. P. Until our souls meet again my friend.

Simba

The bestest dog that there ever was, always aiming to please. A willing chaser of balls, leash-pulling walks, bone-chewing, fence-barking, snack-eating, and tissue-thieving wonder. Forever to be missed. Known for bringing cuddles when cuddles were needed (cuddles always needed). Humorously placing himself in the center of each and every building of pre-fabricated furniture - as if to say - "What can I do to help?" His loss at just shy of 17 years is disorienting and will leave an empty spot in many hearts. We are grateful for the many years of joy and regretful that it had to end. Simba, may you run free and fast. We hope someday to join you and give you more well-deserved treats.
Signed with sadness, your beloved family.

Sam

Sam was a joy to us for 12 years . He loved barking out the car window to let everyone know he was going to the park. His brother Bandit left us the day before Sam did and there is a giant hole in our hearts but we know they are both running and chasing balls.

Biscuit

SOME people do not believe Hounds are smart.

George

"Georgy porgy puddin pie, kissed the girls and made them cry, he says I don't know why, I'm just a little guy"
George was not a dog. He had the eyes of a human and with one look you just knew he saw your entire soul. He was the best road dog, companion, best friend, soulmate, anyone could ever ask for. Growing up in the sandy beaches of California to hiking snowy mountains he never complained and changed lives everywhere he went. He truly was special, and will be missed everyday until we will be together again.

Gracie Mae

Lived a very full almost 13 years of life
She was loyal , protective, funny !
She enjoyed swimming, hiking , playing fetch , chasing the vacuum and attacking her favorite water hose . We are so very grateful to have had so many wonderful memories with her , she was there for me in some of my hardest days and loved without any conditions. Thank you for blessing me in so many ways. Rest easy girl I'll see you when I get there.

Cooper

Cooper was the first dog I had as an adult. He came to me from the shelter scared and anxious, but over the years our bond deepened and his anxiety became less evident. He was my soul-dog. He comforted me when I cried, he always brought a smile to my face when we went out on adventures, and was sure to secure the perimeter while camping before nestling under the covers for warmth. He was everything I wanted and more. I may never find a love like this again, but I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to know him, and love him. He was loved by many friends and pets and we all grieved this loss but we know you're no longer in pain. 2.22.25 was one of the hardest goodbyes I've ever had, but you were here at home, with all the comfy things and us right next to you. Thanks for always being you baby boy.

LUCIA HAMLETT WEBB
December 10, 2010-February 17, 2025

From the first moment I saw her in a big cage at the Pasadena Humane Society, I knew she was the one. No tags, no microchip and yet someone had taken the time to train her and make sure she was housebroken. How, I thought, could anyone lose a little dog this sweet and not turn the city upside down looking for her? The 15 years of her life were happy, full, playful and-- for the last two of those years--she got me through the heartbreak of my husband's death. I take solace in knowing that both of them are now together and simply waiting for me to join them at some point in the future. Even forever would not have been long enough to have Lucy in my world.

Tank

Thank you so much for the service you all provide. It was hard to let him go but it was easier knowing he was home and safe and warm. We appreciate the kindness of your vets and we are glad that he was able to pass with no pain and surrounded by love. Here is my favorite photo of Tank for your memorial wall! he was a good dog.

Kahlua

Kahlua was a part of our family for 13 years. She loved to run, chase squirrels and do figure 8's in the grass! She loved her family and every moment with us! She will forever be in our hearts.

Bowser

Bowser was born on May 19th, 2020. He was rescued along with his Mom, brothers and sisters. We got a call about a puppy who needed a forever home. We went and saw him and his brother that were left! Bowser immediately came to us, he was our baby! Bowser grew fast and big, no one ever believed he was the size he was. He loved playing and protecting our family. Bowser was a one of a kind dog, who looked scary but was a BIG baby who just loved to be cuddled with. We lost our Bowser on February 1st, 2025 due to health issues. He is greatly missed and will never be forgotten. Forever in our heart our Bowser the beast! We love you buddy, play again with Abby!

Sockeye

A big dog with a huge smile, and a gentle soul. 105lbs of pure love and affection!

Smokey

This is Smokey- he was rescued and given to me when he was about 5 weeks old. He brought me so much joy and love for 20 years! He loved to just curl up with me, and occasionally with "his" dog (he had 4 yellow lab companions in his lifetime).

I still come home and expect him to be waiting for me, and my husband found himself looking for Smokey recently when he was passing out treats to the dogs- part of our pet duties (we are well trained)

Gypsy

Our Gypsy dog would not quit chasing squirrels, balls, frisbees and everybody's toys. We always called her thunder foot because you could hear her coming a mile away and she was our Tongue with a dog attached, would not stop licking.
Thank you all for your sincere professionalism. your caring natures did not go unnoticed.

Cricket

A gentle girl, who loved family and who had an incredible drive to point birds (chukars, quail and pheasants) and retrieve AND occasionally do a walkabout and hunt for herself! She is missed.

Mia

Goodbye and be free, our sweet, sweet girl. You gave us over 15 years of unconditional love and goofiness. Everyday, you were sunshine, no matter the weather.

In your new home, may there be endless hikes, endless frisbee throws, and endless bowls full of salmon and watermelon. Thanks for everything you gave us, sweet girl. We love you and will never forget you.

Holly

Holly was born 12-10-2009, one of 5 puppies. She loved everyone, grew up in San Diego, loved going to dog beach for a swim in the ocean, loved our walks with her brother Uno and momma Zena. We moved to Idaho 2022. In Aug 2024, she got glaucoma, went blind and had her RT removed. Although she had lost her eye sight and hearing, she got along very well with one eye. Then in November the glaucoma had gone into her LFT eye. Just turned 15 Dec 10, 2024. I made a very tough decision to let her go. Her quality of life was gone and dependent on me to get around and was in pain from the glaucoma. She is now in heaven with her 2 brothers and her momma. I know they are playing and all together again, no longer suffering. I miss them everyday! They were my life!

Chewy

Chewy was the sweetest boy ever. He would be the picture next to the word "velcro-dog" in the dictionary. He loved camping, razor riding, and going for walks. He filled our hearts with so much love. We will miss him forever.

Baby
5/15/15-1/25/25

Baby was sassy and a fierce fighter from the moment we found her in a bush at 3 weeks old to the moment she left us. Her meow always sounded like she had a question for you no matter what kind of meow, her fur was the softest velvet like fur you'd ever felt, she was perfect in every way.

Lighting

Lightning was my Mother's Day gift in May 2016, our family's first pet rabbit. He was always such an adventurous rabbit, he loved digging and running around and exploring the yard and garden. As he got older he loved napping in the sun and getting lots of head rubs. He will be missed.

Olivia Ridenour Little

Thank you for helping me say goodbye to my sweet Olivia. I still miss her every day. Here's a photo for the website and my little obituary - feel free to shorten it as you see fit. "If the kindest of souls were rewarded with the longest lives, dogs would outlive us all."
-Unknown

It is with the heaviest heart that I share the passing of my ride or die bestie, Olivia. She joined our family as a rescue dog on April 2, 2017 and quickly became an indispensable member of our household, ensuring that any scraps of food dropped to the floor were cleaned up, spreading water around the kitchen after slurping out of her bowl with her giant Shar Pei dog jowls to help with the mopping, and providing dog hugs and comfort when needed to our immediate and extended family and friends, countless neighbors, and too many coworkers to count. She also served as my training partner for more than one 5K, 10K, half and my first full marathon until she retired from running in 2019.

In May of 2017 she was hired at the Idaho Nonprofit Center as the Chief Morale Officer, providing so much love and light to all who entered the office. Eventually she joined me in the same capacity at Jannus until her retirement in August of last year. Among her favorite things in life, she loved long walks where she could stop and smell anything but the roses, car rides if they were short and involved a Dutch Bros pup cup, day long naps in the grass in the sun and cuddling with me on the floor at night watching TV or reading books. I will note that camping and paddleboarding were her least favorite activities, but she put up with them (well camping anyway) as my constant companion.

Olivia was diagnosed with incurable lung cancer in October of 2024 and has been on palliative care for the past three months. She finally walked over the rainbow bridge on Jan. 19, 2025 where I hope she is happily chasing squirrels, napping in the sun, eating all the pup cups she can get her paws on and, if I'm really lucky, perhaps she's found my Dad who can take her for all the walks she'll want to go on in heaven. I'm more than certain he would have loved her as much as all of us.

Olivia leaves behind a family that will miss her little raspy woofs, sweet nature, dog hugs and cuddles and her innate ability to provide comfort when it's needed the most. I really could use her comfort now.
I know there is a special place in heaven for rescue pups and if you're so inclined to celebrate her life, please donate to your favorite animal shelter in her name. I am sure she gave our family more than we could ever return to her. May she rest in peace.

Olivia Ridenour Little, June 13, 2013 to Jan. 19, 2025

Apollo
June 23, 2012 - January 8, 2025

Apollo has been a member of our family since he was a puppy. He won us over with his excitement for life and beautiful eyes. Through the years he acquired many nicknames. We received him with the name "Hamilton". He was "Po" (obvious) and sometimes "Po Po". Kelly called him "Mr. Eyelashes" because of the long lashes Apollo got from his mother. Our daughter called him "Brother Lump" since he liked to relax on a pillow near the fireplace.
Apollo and I learned obedience together and he received several blue ribbons. He achieved Rally Excellent and CDX. When first competing in Rally Obedience, a judge told me that Rally should look like a dance (between human and dog). She went on to say that during the competition, Apollo and I danced.

He enjoyed running and chasing outside animals. He would run at our chickens - not to hurt them but just to watch them scatter. He would follow me from room to room in the house. He played in the snow during the winter and swam in the canals during the summer. He never met a person he didn't like but always had a special love for children.

With love until we meet again.

JoDee

Jodee was rescued from the Canyon County Shelter after someone dumped her and she became a stray. We had Jodee in our lives for 8 years and we have never had such a happy well-behaved pet. We miss her every day and are grateful for the time we had with her. She was 5 when we got her, and about 13 when she left us. She has no more pain now and is no longer suffering. I know she will be waiting for us over the bridge.

Bugsy

I just wanted to share this picture with you of Bugsy enjoying a car ride. Our Gypsy dog would not quit chasing squirrels, balls, frisbees and everybody's toys. We always called her thunder foot because you could hear her coming a mile away and she was our Tongue with a dog attached, would not stop licking.

Stitch

My little Stitch was small, but mighty. His loyalty and devotion was evident in all his behaviors. He loved his "woobies", laying in the window to bark at people and going "bye-bye" in the car. He was such a blessing and the joy of my life. There will never be another like him. I miss him dearly.
