Memorials

We will never forget the day Jack picked us to be his family.  We had chosen his sister to be our new puppy, but as we were walking to the truck, Jack followed behind us and . . . haha we left with two puppies instead of one. Jack lived for fifteen years.  He was a friend, companion and just a good 'ole "hound dog." "Jackson Puff" will always have a place in our hearts! Charlie & Sandra Hunt

Our sweet boy Jack crossed over the Rainbow Bridge August 5, 2018. He had been a great addition to our family for 10 years.  He was found in East Tennessee and brought to the West Tennessee Border Collie rescue where we adopted him on October 11, 2008.  He followed his Mommy around the house everyday and waited by the door every evening watching for his Daddy to come home from work.  He also loved his brother and had to adjust to him being gone to college and was happy to have...

They say that we are all sent here on a mission.  Ellie was a few months shy of being 3 years old.  She came from a puppy mill at 5 weeks of age.  I nursed Ellie back to health, and she became my shadow.  Everyone knew her at Starbucks.  She would even bark at the loud speaker for her "puppuccino."   Even though her life was short lived, she had been my saving grace during a domestic violence relationship.  Ellie was truly a therapy dog, that was...

Steele was added to our family on 4/26/2006 at 9 weeks old. He was the brother to my only child/son. Steele was a "Gentle Giant" with a heart of gold. Everyone that he encountered simply praised his gentle loving nature and beauty. He was the "Pretty Boy" wherever he went. Steele understood every human word and gesture. He loved to call up his family on their birthday and sing the birthday song with my son and I. We would lead the song, and Steele would join in and finish...

Bud Miller Bud came to us when he was 8 weeks old. He was the runt of the litter and weighed only 2 pounds.  He quickly took over our household and ruled over all of us.  He loved his Dad and big brother John, but he was his Mama’s boy.  He loved to chase the squirrels in his backyard and check the fence line several times each day.  He knew the names of all of his toys and loved to play.  He knew his Dad was a sucker and was frequently overtreated.  He...

Baby Girl left this world on June 10th, 2018. She was my angel and best friend. Baby Girl was by my side day and night. Her favorite thing to do was helping me drive my jeep. I will miss her dearly and her unconditional love. Thank you for being one of the best parts of my life.  Love you always, Carron Gann

Cookie Geschwind left this world unexpectedly on June 7, 2018. We were blessed to have Cookie come into our lives in December of 2013.  Living thousands of miles away from home on the island of Guam, Cookie touched our hearts from the minute we brought her home.  We quickly learned that Cookie had an adventurous spirit as she enjoyed chasing down geckos and other critters that would get in the house.  She was independent and at times standoffish, but mostly she enjoyed...

Bailey showed up at my mother's house in 2002, seemingly out of nowhere, and wanting nothing more than a little bit of food and attention. I planned to find him a good home, but in the end, I could not stand the thought of giving him away. He was never one to meow much, but instead talked with his intense green eyes, always ready to stare as long and persistently as needed to get whatever it was that he wanted. His favorite pastimes included gazing out the window, begging for treats,...

I rescued sweet Charley in 2010 when he was 9 from a very abusive situation. I was volunteering at an animal rescue and someone brought him to one of our adoption events. He was unhealthy, very dirty, and had cuts and burns all over his little body. When anyone got close to his crate, he would snarl and bare his teeth, so no one was really interested in him. I decided to give him a chance, and reached in and picked him up. As soon as I got him out of the crate and held him close, he...

Reba was a rescue pup from the animal shelter.   She didn’t seem to be too interested in us at first, but we liked her. As soon as we got her home, we let her run around the back yard.  Rather quickly, she figured out she could slip between the bars of the wrought iron fence we had by the patio.  It took a good hour or so of chasing her around the neighborhood until she wore herself out and gave up.  But over time she warmed up to us...
