The team at Advanced Veterinary Care would like to remember and honor the friends that are no longer with us.

Bridget
Bridget stole my heart and now my heart is broken. Every time I think of jogging together and the way she would look up at me so loving and happy, I cry Puttering around the house I still find myself talking out loud to her. Trips to the bathroom are uneventful with nobody to sing to and smooch, or scratchy belly and butt. We connected so deeply.
Bridget taught me to be patient for the good things in life. She reminded me what it’s like to be blindly passionate. Was oblivious to everything until she solved a puzzle or tore out and successfully destroyed a squeaker. She would run like the wind and jump even when she didn’t have to, but just because she wanted to fly. Chased frisbees and bumpers on land or water until she couldn’t see straight. I wonder how many hundreds of miles we walked together She knew joy.
She showed me it’s important to do what makes me happiest. I couldn’t wait to get home to her warm, pure heart. She made every day wonderful. I will forever miss loving her and being loved by her.
I dearly love my fur babies, each one so special. Bridget touched us all with her kind, gentle soul. We had a great ride together.
Thank you,
Sue, Bruce, Lucy, and Joni

Lady
2008-2016
Lady had a heart of gold. She was kind, loving and gentle spirited. She also was quite smelly and could never seem to keep her teeth or tongue where they belonged but I will miss everything about her. It's an awfully quiet home without a bulldog around! Lady will always be loved and remembered. <3 Yurichs

Puck and Sir Hamlet the Brave
I miss Puck (the Gray) and Sir Hamlet the Brave (White) every day, and feel so blessed that they chose me to be their human. I also am incredibly grateful for the care and compassion shown by all the AVC staff in Puck and Hammie's old age and passing. No doubt they are snuggled up together in a sunbeam in kitty heaven.

Dodger
What an incredibly funny and sweet boy he was. He brought so much joy to the lives of all who met him. We miss him making noise with empty bottles and constantly hogging the fan.
I have never met an animal who I connected to so deeply, every day I think about and miss him tons. Thanks for taking such great care of him here.

Junior
Junior was a awesome cat. He loved climb on you for a little love. He was always hanging out in one of the kids rooms.
He loved sitting on the bathroom counter in the morning watching everyone get ready for their day. He left behind his dog and cat brothers and sisters, all of whom are missing him.
He also left behind loving family that miss him dearly. We will remember him and love him forever. Rest in Peace Junior.

Bubbles and Pumpkin
Forever in our hearts. We will never forget you. I bet you’re snuggling with your little buddy Pumpkin.
Love, love, love both of you. You filled our home and hearts with so much joy!

My sweet Bella, To many you were just a dog. To me, you were my best friend, my faithful companion, my unconditional love and my ride or die. We have our 14 years of great memories like our numerous road trips, vacations, car rides, swimming in the lake, picnics, cheeseburgers, ice cream and just hanging out at home chilling and watching Food Network (the station I always left on for you when you had to stay home alone.) You were there for me in the rough times. You never left my side when I was sick or after a surgery or hospital stay. You loved me back to life after what I thought was the worst heartbreak of my life but now I know that was nothing compared to losing you. You were always there when I walked in the door, waiting patiently for me to come home. Whenever I went on a business trip, a weekend away or even when I would have to leave you at the vet for a day, I always said "be a good girl and remember mama always comes back for you." So run free Bella. Take in all the sights and sounds. Eat cheeseburgers and ice cream. Find Grandpa and he will hold your paw and give you belly rubs. You can tell him how much we miss him and fill him in on everything he's missed. Be a good girl my sweet Bella Boo and rest assured, mama will come back for you, it just might take a little longer this time. |
