Roe
May 9, 1981 - December 13, 2008





It was the summer I turned 14 when my parents finally gave in & bought me a horse. I spent weeks searching hundreds of ads until I found what I was looking for in Roe. He was one of my best friends & my shoulder to cry on through my teenage years. Roe taught me so much & was the greatest gift my parents ever gave me. He will forever be missed.

In Loving Memory of Duke
October 30, 2000 - May 23, 2013





Duke came with my husband Michael. He was an obnoxious, destructive pain in the rear until he had kids to look after, then he became the kids' dog more than Michael's. He adored them & they adored him. He was there for cuddling or protecting, whatever the moment called for. His complete devotion to my kids won me over. We'll never be without a boxer thanks to Duke.

In Loving Memory of Nugget
April 16, 2015 - December 24, 2015





Nugget was a hot mess from day 1. She was born with an open umbilicus & her intestines were outside her body. This resulted in a massive hernia that required multiple surgeries to repair. She also had a significant heart murmur. Through all of her surgeries & ailments she was the happiest, most amazing little bulldog I've ever known. She was a princess & she knew it, no one that knew her could tell her no. The day we lost her there were 30mph winds that had blown our front gate open just far enough for her to get into the road. The person that hit her never slowed down & she died in my arms minutes later. She was one of a kind & could never be replaced.

In Loving Memory of Rosie
May 1, 1996 - November 10, 2019





She’d been mine for 22 years, 9 months, & 1 day when she told me that she was done. I promised her years ago that I wouldn’t be selfish so the next day I said goodbye to a huge piece of my heart & my 4 legged soulmate. I brought her home when I was just 15 & she was just over 9 months old. We grew up together and Rosie helped make me the person I am today. She was actually my 2nd choice. I wanted her half brother because he had pretty paint markings and at that time everyone I knew preferred geldings for riding horses. He was out of my parent’s budget but Rosie wasn’t. I’d known and loved the silly, nosy, red filly since she was born so I happily snapped a lead on her and walked her the mile and a half home. That walk started a relationship of trust and love that I never could have predicted. There is no doubt I was meant to end up with the little red headed mare. Mares are different and now my preferred riding horse. She taught me what it meant to be a horsewoman and we formed a bond that couldn’t be broken by anything or anyone & I made a promise to her that she’d be mine until her last breath. She loved me as much as I loved her. This girl would always do anything I asked of her no matter how new or scary it was. She trusted me with her entire being and the feeling was 100% mutual. One of the best views in my life was the view from between her ears. There will never be another creature on this earth that I love like I loved this one.
