				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Mack Daddy Ng passed away peacefully Saturday morning, February 7, 2026, at 1:35 am. He was surrounded by his human mom & dad who were talking to him and loving him until his last breath. Mack was adopted in 2010 when his human mom met him and couldn’t walk away. He was a silly, fun, loving and amazing friend. If he liked you, he loved you big and if he didn’t, you knew! He loved to sleep on his human dad’s chest, kiss his human mom’s tears, and pet her cheek. His human brother Jax was one of his best friends, he loved to be held by him, sleep on his bed and playing with him. Mack Daddy had a huge impact on our family and will be missed greatly. He is survived by his human mom & dad, Jamie and Mark. His human brothers Jax, Jacob and Jason. His cat brothers, Jack & Track.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[In Loving Memory of Kaiser “Kaisey Boo Boo” King

Kaiser came into our lives at just five months old and, as many German Shepherd puppies do, arrived as nothing but ears and paws- features he would eventually grow into handsomely. He was lovingly named Kaiser, the German word for “emperor,” a fitting tribute to his human family’s last name, King.

Kaiser was a gentle and easy-going soul who rarely showed annoyance or displeasure to others be they human, canine, or feline. He loved everyone he met, especially his grandchildren, and never turned down affection or attention. But if ‘his person’, Ava, was nearby, Kaiser made sure to stay close. At the dog park, he would place himself between her and other dogs to protect her. But despite his bravery, let thunder or fireworks be heard nearby and he was looking for the nearest hiding spot!

He was preceded in death by his sister, Jane, a Jack Russell Terrier who never fully forgave him for destroying her only-child status, and his feline brother, Lucifer, who would occasionally allow himself to stoop to the level of playing with a mere canine.

Kaiser is survived by his brothers, Atticus (Golden Doodle), Beauregard (Teacup Yorkie), Taco (Beagle/Hound mix), and his feline brother Finnigan, along with a large and loving human family who miss him deeply but take comfort in knowing he is no longer in pain.

You may be gone from our sight and petting hands, but not our hearts and memories.

Rest well, dear boy.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Sherman was a beautiful German Shepherd who passed away, leaving behind a legacy of loyalty, gentleness, and quiet strength. He loved the outdoors- the joy of swimming, long hikes that always led to a lake or river, and the happiness of a good snack earned along the way. His toys were never far from reach and are a symbol of his playful spirit and steady focus.

Sherman loved his family with a big heart and an easy trust. He was always loyal and true, always present and always steady.

Sherman was patient, kind, and loved without condition. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Redgonald (Redgy) was so special to us. He left us incredibly too early. He loved us and we loved him for 7.5 short years. He was 8 weeks old when we drove to Pennsylvania to meet him. We loved him instantly and without hesitation we took him home. He was always there for us when we needed hugs and "kisses." Our daughter was 10 and she showered him with love and patience. He always wanted to be a "good boy" so she was able to teach him so much. He truly was the best dog. He loved his walks and car rides and showed so much excitement to go anywhere. He yelled at us if we were taking to long, which always made us laugh. He brightened our days and brought so many smiles. He was so happy to see us every time he saw us. He was taken from us so suddenly, when we thought we had many more years with him. He will never be forgotten and will forever be loved. Redgy, we will miss you greatly, always love you and try to hold back the tears when we are remembering our moments with you.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Patches was so loved. She added to our lives with her feistiness and purrs. She loved her cat treats and would give us a quick whack on our ankles if she was waiting for them. We met her during a family walk. The kids loved to pet her as she rolled in her driveway. She eventually became ours. Unfortunately, time did not stop and Patches left us on November 14, 2025 after 13 years of being the queen of our house. She will be missed and her memories will always be with us. We love you Patches.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[On September 30, 2025 around 2:50pm, I lost my best friend of 16 years, my world completely changed in less than week. From the moment I heard the news and knew we couldn’t save him, to the moment we said our final goodbye, I knew nothing would ever be the same. Teddy Bear was the love of my life; I loved him from the moment I saw him amongst all his siblings. I remember choosing him out and naming him Sunshine, thankfully ended up with the name Teddy Bear. Teddy Bear, the name fit him so well, he would always cuddle with me and show me love but wasn’t afraid to show the bear side to anyone/thing he didn’t care for. My little feisty boy. 

Teddy showed me a kind of love that I never knew existed, he brought me more joy and happiness than he could ever know. Teddy has been by my side as I made my way through my teenage years all the way into adulthood. He was there through so many life events, the good and the bad ones. He traveled the world with us, exploring different states and countries, creating memories that we will forever cherish.

I know Teddy is somewhere better, a place where he is free from any of his ailments and his body no longer holding him back. I would clean up his accidents, change his diapers, do all the things I dreaded if it means having him with us again. I will forever treasure the 16 beautiful years he gave me and always wish I had more. 

Teddy was and forever will be one of the best things that happened to me, I will always love that chunky little ball of fur and look forward to the day I get to be with him once again.


I love you Teddy Bear!

“Cause all of me, Loves all of you, Love all your curves and all your edges, All your perfect imperfections”



He was a dog. - Jesse

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[On the week of September 14, 2025, our family lost a piece of us. Huk (AKC: Huckleberry the River Runner) passed away after going on his final run. He lived a beautiful life with us. Born in May 2024, he was deeply loved during the little over a year we were blessed to have him.

Huk was a ball of energy and loved everyone he met. He would run up and down our fence line to greet passersby, jump with joy whenever someone came near, and his favorite treat was his Yak Chews. He was loved not only by us, Travis and Kaitlyn, but also by our children—Asher, Maddox, and Blakely—as well as our other dog and cat, Bella and Kaluah.

We would like to take a moment to thank those in the community who spent countless hours and days searching for him, sharing his flyer, or allowing us to post it in their businesses. We especially thank Vicky, who notified us when she found him, and our family and friends who helped bring him home. We are also grateful to Storke Funeral Home for meeting with us after hours so we could bring our sweet boy to them.

PLEASE—if you ever hit any living creature, call it into your local police or sheriff’s department. ALSO, if you see a wandering or injured dog, PLEASE post a description, date, time, location, and a picture (if possible and appropriate) in your local community page or lost and found pets page.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Piper wasn’t initially on my “to do list”, when fixing my sister’s computer. I didn’t have any pets nor had any thoughts of having any but that day, Piper chose me. I never did officially know her birthday but landed on January 23. 13 years sped by to July 20, 2025, in what seemed like a blink of an eye. For those 13 years, Piper filled my life with so much joy. So playful, loving, and vocal. She was most definitely my best friend, my partner in crime, my constant shoulder. I’ve never been the type to show much emotion but every time I left the house, I’d call out to her that I’d be back, and that I loved her. Every time I came back home, she’d be waiting, and I’d tell her how much I missed and loved her. The way she acted when I would leave the house and upon arrival, it’s almost like she understood me. I’m almost certain she did. But truth be told, i was leaving and returning to her house. I just happened to occupy a room at night. That house had so many of her favorite spots to lay in, from the darkest of spots to her screened in patio. Laying on me was of course one of them. And in the middle of the night, when hunger would strike her, she’d always give me the lightest paw taps on the face to wake me. I’d brush off the first few but then would of course wake to her loud purrs and give her some food.

Piper was there with me through rough times and mostly great times. She laid with me while I unknowingly bled out and was there when I recovered. She sent me on my way to England, to find someone that loves me as much I as love her, Sally. Piper welcomed Sally into our lives and loved her like a second parent.

Her last few months were not the greatest, she was beginning to get quite sick. I felt and feel so sorry for her and always wished I could do more, that I could have done more. After being with piper, watching her fade into what I hope is heaven, I didn’t want to go back home. I was scared, scared of how alone it would be. But as Sally told me, “She’s with you, you may not hear her, but she’s jumping up with you tonight”. As hard as it was to hear that, I needed to hear those words so much. I miss Piper with all my heart and all my soul, but I hope she’s resting easy. My hopes and prayers are that Piper is with my mom in heaven, both watching over me and waiting for the day I reunite with them.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Our hearts are shattered as we say goodbye to Maggie, our perfect baby
girl, our heart and soul, our whole world, wrapped up in 20 beautiful
pounds of the softest fur, warmth and love.

We are struggling to learn how to live without her.  She was our
purpose. The mornings, afternoons, evenings and especially bedtimes
are so much harder without her.  We will forever long for and miss
everything about her - the sight of her, her smells and her sounds. 
The house is impossibly quiet without her.

Maggie wasn’t a pet. From the moment she came into our lives as a
2.5 pound, 16 week old bundle of love - 17 years ago - she was our
baby - our heartbeat.  She filled our home with joy, our lives with
purpose and our hearts with a kind of love so deep and so pure, that
it simply defies words.

Maggie had so much innocence and such boundless energy.  She was oh so
curious and had a extraordinary zest for life.  She never met a
stranger and everyone who met her - fell in love with her instantly. 
She offered not only us - but everyone she met - unconditional love. 
One of her admirers noted - she had a way of looking straight into
your soul.

Every day with Maggie was a gift.  Her eyes held the gentlest wisdom. 
Her presence brought instant joy and peace.  She always knew when to
snuggle even closer and how to make us laugh.

There was never a day that she wasn’t perfect to us. Our arms ache
with the emptiness she left behind and our hearts are heavy with love,
not regret - we tried our best to give her everything and she gave us
so much more.

Rest now sweet Maggie.  Run where your legs are young again and you
can always find the perfect sun spot.

You are - and always will be - our everything.  We love you and will
miss you every day for the rest of our lives.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[With hearts full of love and sorrow, we share the passing of our sweet girl, Ava, who crossed the rainbow bridge at the age of 11. Born on November 13, 2013, Ava spent every moment of her life sharing love, comfort, and quiet joy with everyone lucky enough to know her.

Ava was a true love bug-affectionate, gentle, and always ready for a cuddle. With her mellow, Eeyore-like personality, she brought a sense of calm to our lives and had a way of simply being there when you needed her most. Her soulful eyes, steady presence, and loving heart made her more than a pet; she was family.

She had a deep love for water—whether it was bath time or simply splashing around, it always made her happy. Her love of food was unmatched, and she had no trouble reminding you (with persistence and purpose) when it was time for a meal. Ava also had a special fondness for people—she adored every human she met, often choosing their company over that of other animals. Her ability to connect with others so warmly and immediately was one of her most endearing qualities.

Ava gave us eleven beautiful years filled with love, laughter, and irreplaceable memories. Though our home feels quieter without her, her spirit remains deeply woven into the fabric of our lives.

She will be missed more than words can express—but her memory will continue to bring comfort, warmth, and the gentle reminder to love fully and live simply.

Rest peacefully, sweet Ava. You were our best girl, and we’ll carry you in our hearts forever.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[We love you Rosie! 🤍 Thank you for loving us unconditionally! ❤️ We adopted you on August 2, 2018 in Arizona; just after we bought our house - to complete it and make it our home. We were so lucky that you were not sent to Ohio and that the shelter decided to let you stay and for us to have you. You have been a part of our family here in the US - our hikes, our drive and move to Virginia, our holidays, our heartbreaks, our joys, our first experience with snow, camping, the beach... I could go on and on... Life for us will never be the same without you. We are heartbroken, but God blessed us with you.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[George Washington also known as “Jorge” to many was a dedicated protector to  his family of three for ten years.  You would ride by and either see him laying at the front door or looking out the window.  He was quite the gentleman by meeting you at the door with a bark and a smile.  George enjoy spending time outside lizard hunting and chasing squirrels.  He taught his other 4 legged friends how to do the same, along with some other habits.  He loved to take long naps snuggled up beside you while having his silky ears rubbed.  When he wanted to go on his evening strolls to see his grandparents for his second “dinner” no one could stop him….he was making his ways in his older age.  George passed away surrounded by the ones he loved the most.  Our house is definitely not the same without him.  We will always miss him and his loud snores that could be heard from rooms away.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Rudy, also known as Mister Rudy, Mr. Rudy Head, Rudy Kazootie, or as the Rudy Meister Meister Rudy during the Christmas Season, passed away in the arms of his person on January 16 th , 2025. Little Rudy had an infectious way of getting into your heart and staying there. He was the literal definition of the “Goodest Boy” and loved nothing more than being in the company of his family. As a puppy Rudy was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect and we were told he might not live a long life, so be sure to cherish him every day, which we certainly did. Rudy thankfully defied the odds and lived to be 17 years old and was only two months shy of his 18 th birthday when he passed. Rudy reminded everyone never to let a circumstance hold you back or define what you are capable of as he was rambunctious and energetic the majority of his long life. In the last year of his life, he did require help getting on and off the bed and in the last few months he needed help getting up and down the stairs. But Rudy knew to come to us when he needed help because he knew he would always receive it; he knew how greatly he was loved. There is immense sadness in seeing your playful puppy grow old and dependent, but there is also great beauty in recognizing how they know you are there for them. While it was at times difficult getting woken up multiple times a night to get him off the bed for a drink of water or potty break, it was never burdensome and how gladly I’d continue to do so to have him back. What a blessing it was to have Rudy for as long as we did, however, it still didn’t seem long enough. It seems like an impossible task to sum up just how special and important Rudy is. I wish I was a better wordsmith so I can do his memory justice. In all honesty the home feels less like home without him: he made my life better, and he was there to comfort me during the hardest days of my life. He was unconditionally loving, and his presence truly was a blessing that will wholeheartedly be missed. Pope Paul VI once said that “One day, we will see our animals in the eternity of Christ. Paradise is open to all of God’s creatures.” The inspiring quote gives me hope that Rudy is in the carful love and protection of my beloved mother Kathleen in Heaven where they wait for me. Until we all meet again in paradise I will cling as tightly to the many wonderful memories as I will cling to them when we are reunited.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Cricket, the beloved Teacup Yorkie, passed away peacefully with his loving parents right beside him on the night of December 9, 2023.

After the passing of his previous family, Cricket was quickly adopted and given a second home full of love and devotion. He was a sweet fur baby and brought so much joy to his human parents. Although tiny, he was dedicated to watching out for his mama…always on guard and never more than a tiny step away. He was the epitome of a lap dog and loved to be snuggled and was always included on family adventures from New York to Georgia. Although, his big (but much younger) human sister would always tease him, by calling him things such as “Crotch-et”, “Croquet”, or “Crotchety”, she loved him dearly, as did her family. Cricket lived a long life (even if never long enough) and spent every moment knowing that he was immensely loved and never knew the meaning of loneliness.

His family is comforted in knowing that he will have an everlasting life full of fun with his 4 fur-siblings, eating all the french fries, and very short sets of stairs.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[&nbsp;

Abbiejean “Abby” Amato

Abby, often affectionately referred to as Abba Wabba, or Miss Abby girl, was a blessing of sweetness to her family and all who were lucky enough to know her. She had a gift of infectious joy, her silliness and loving attitude just brought out happiness even when you were having a bad day. Despite being an 80-pound ball of muscle, she saw herself as a lap dog that loved to cuddle up with her family. It wasn’t uncommon of her to bulldoze her way through chairs, tables, or any object in her way just to get to people. She was curious, smart, playful, clumsy, silly and above all loving.

Sady cancer stole our beautiful Abby from us, and her home feels quite empty without her big personality and warmth. While her loss leaves a huge hole in the lives of her family, her memory and love will carry on with us forever. Our lives were enriched by Abby, and we will always be thankful to her for the love she gave us. We hope to see you again someday, love you always Abby!

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[For over a decade Peaches warmed the hearts of her family. Her friendly, playful disposition brought a smile to every person she met. She was always ready to greet people at the door with enthusiastic tapping paws and a floppy tongued smile. Peaches enjoyed playing with her toys, her doggie siblings, but most of all her favorite person Shawn. She was always a good girl, and her family will always miss her sweet spirit, and the pitter-patter of her paws on the floor.

He started snuggling and letting out his spunkiness. He drooled like crazy when he purred. He was silly and chirped at the window when he was bird-watching. He was so very young when he left us.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[King Boogie "Boogz" Duke was very energetic, protective, smart and loveable to our little family. He loved his walks and rides around the point in his hometown of Colonial Beach hanging out the window catching the breeze and playing basketball on the front porch with his best buddy Krew. Our home is so quiet and empty now and we are missing you so much already but I know that you are running like the wind over the rainbow bridge. We will never forget you Boogz and love you so very much.
