Pet Tributes

In Loving Memory of Willa With heavy hearts, we say goodbye to our beloved Willa—also affectionately known as Bill, Will, Willy, and even Peanut. For 13 wonderful years, she filled our lives with unconditional love, laughter, loyalty, and unforgettable memories. Willa lived life to the fullest. She never turned down a game of frisbee, loved playing keep-away and being chased around the yard, looked forward to every walk, and found pure joy playing in her pool and swimming in the ...

We found Cinnamon living under our deck in June 2023, we knew right after his first vet visit that he had a serious congenital heart defect and we might not have him long. We had him with us for just over three years. He died at home with us with him Sunday, July 12th. He was only about 4 years old. We are so grateful to have had him in our lives even though we were not ready to say goodbye so soon and so unexpectedly. He is very missed.  

Zoie Ann Bendorf was always momma’s little girl who always followed me around. She loved laying out in the sun. She loved squeaking her toys, loved going for rides in the car. People would always say that tongue, LOL, it was always out. And that she was always spoiled. She loved her ice cream, pup cups, her chicken nuggets, and a coffee from her Aunt Dani. She always was dressed up in clothes and had an outfit for every holiday. She went everywhere with me. She had a car seat in the ...

Hutch was adopted from Mankato Pet Shelter. He was a beloved pup. Loved rough housing and playing hard with his big buddy, Paddy. He was so full of life and energy. We miss him very much.

Monte is a very special girl. She raised and protected our girls when they needed a playmate or security.  Our pretty girl, Monte gave us peace, protection and so many laughs. She especially loved to travel with us and lived the adventure life. She got to see the world and live on a boat in Alaska and Florida and we knew she loved every minute of it, but her favorite spot was always wherever her family was. Monte was my security when I had none and brought us through to a peaceful, and ...

Milo was the sweetest kitty you could have known. He was always waiting by the door to welcome us home and laying by our sides at night. He became our little shadow, wanting to know what we were cooking or doing around the house. Life will be different without you. Rest easy my fluffy boy, keep Zues company.

Dixie was born September 28, 2018, her forever mom was there to witness, 7 weeks later she came home. Dixie was a spunky pup, she immediately bonded with her dog brother. Her whole life she loved the snow (in small amounts), as a 5-month-old she pulled her mom on a sled down the driveway. Dixie grew up to be the sweetest and most gentle husky. She loved people at all ages, she loved other dogs, she liked to rough house, and she understood boundaries with cats, and the cats accepted ...

Toby was found when she was four weeks old and was taken in by her family.  She was a wonderful kitty and will be dearly missed.

Leo joined our family after the sudden loss of another beloved pet. Born on August 12, 2012, he was the last of a litter of Bengal kittens and came home to us that October, a birthday gift for our ten-year-old daughter as a rebound cat.  After much debate, he was named Leo; though tiny at only two pounds, his oversized paws and vivid stripes and spots made him look like a little lion cub.   As a kitten, Leo was shy and often snuggled with the matriarch of the family. He slept ...

Bolt was born October 4, 2011, one of over 100 pups from the Norby English Springer Spaniels. Growing up on a hobby farm, Bolt was introduced to chickens, which would become his responsibility. He loved doing "chicken chores", making sure the barn was free of predators and pests. Living the rural life also afforded the comfort of many bonfires which he enjoyed with his humans and loving cat family.  He could be found playing, napping or cuddling with his feline siblings Tiny, ...
