Thumper was born on a farm in Illinois before coming to me and was originally nicknamed "spike". She helped me study during college and was with me for several major milestones in my life. she loved chasing bouncy balls, eating treats, and laying in the sun.

Kindell, You will forever be my "soul dog". Your loyalty and unconditional love got me through some tough times. Until we meet again, I will smile at every passing pitty and think of how many times in your life you were vocally misunderstood. Gone too soon. "Ruv Roo Kindell Roo" xoxo

Taj gave us over 14 years of love, joy, happiness, and companionship. He was a "graduate" of Jefferson College's Veterinary Technician Program. After completing the program he came home and took on the role of a spoiled dog. He never met a stranger and loved spending time with other dogs. He had a sweet howl that could be heard if he ever felt he wasn't getting enough attention. He loved to play ball, take naps on the couch, and play in the snow. There were a lot of memories made in the many years we were blessed to have him. Missing you so much "Baby Son". Run free until we meet again.

Luke was what many refer to as a heart dog. He came to his family after making it through the Joplin tornado in 2011. Luke spent many days riding as the copilot in the seat next to his mom on their way to work. He lived life as a vet tech's dog at the vet clinic napping in various areas around the office and getting spoiled with treats regularly. He had the ability to bring a sense of calm and warmth to anyone in his presence. He is missed by many and all that knew him feel lucky to have had the opportunity. My heart will forever hold your memory.

Bailey joined her forever family when she was 8 years old and was lucky to have the best 7 retirement years with them. She started her life out in a rough situation where she didn't have faith or trust in people, and didn't know what a carefree life a dog could live. That all changed when she picked her new mom in an unlikely and unexpected situation. She will forever be remembered by her hound dog bark, the slight bend in her one ear, and her spunky hops for joy that were all one of a kind. She is a prime example that no matter what kind of past you have that your life can always turn around for the better. Thanks for that life lesson reminder "Old Lady". We love you always.

Ares & Phoebe were an inseparable pair. The most affectionate, loving and loyal dogs I’ve ever known❤️

Foxy was a 16 yr old Shiba mix who loved any and all the attention. She spent her days talking many walks with her mom and hanging out at daycare. When she was not doing that she was spending time with her grandparents getting all the treats. In her younger years she enjoyed chasing bunnies and squirrels. She loved going on car rides and attending dog friendly events with her mom. As she got older she still loved going on long walks. She loved playing with cardboard boxes and destroying the Christmas tree. She was loved by so many and will greatly be missed.

I don’t even know where to start with my Scrappy boy. He has gotten me through so many ups and downs in my life in the past 16 years and it’s hard to think about life without him.
We were together for 9 homes, he had 5 other 4 legged siblings and his love for carrots at while he was at Grantview goes unmatched. He even had the UPS man trained to give him carrots when he dropped off.
Until we meet again Scrappy, your memories will live on forever.

Momma was such a sweet cuddly cat. She loved her food. When you put treats down she would scoot it 10 feet before actually eating it. She loved to be held. She will forever be missed.
