Memorials

I, Lily, rescued Willow (who was named after the movie willow) from the SPCA when he was about a year and 6 months old and we were told Willow was a female.

So, when we decided to get a second bunny who was male, we took her to get spayed and the vet called us to inform us Willow was actually a male.

So, for the first 5 years of having Willow, we had been calling him she. It was very unexpected and became a very big joke within the family.

Willow could be very sassy at times and definitely was always getting his way. However, he was very cuddly and always looking for a pet.

He loved food which included fresh greens, bananas, peppers, watermelon and raspberries.

He passed with Teek, his best friend right by his side.

Lily will miss Willow dearly as he was a part of a big chunk of her life, and she knows no bunny will ever be like him.

He definitely took a part of her with him when he passed, and he will forever be with her.

Daisy came into our lives in 2017 as a rescue and we have absolutely cherished our last 6 years with her. She was feisty at first, but she quickly found her place in our family.

Daisy was always the first one in bed and the last one to wake up every morning. Her daily routine consisted of surveying the backyard for any squirrels and barking at them, sunbathing when it was warm, an afternoon nap on the couch, and being in the kitchen whenever a meal was prepared, just waiting for any scrap of food to hit the floor. In her mind, dog food was okay, but chicken and cheese were her favorites and the ultimate treat. Somewhat of a fast-food connoisseur, Daisy preferred McDonald’s french fries and chicken nuggets on a Friday night to round out the work week. There wasn’t a food that Daisy didn’t enjoy, unless it was peanut butter.

If it was cold, Daisy insisted that she needed a blanket, one of her many sweaters to wear, and a fire in the fireplace while she watched tv in the family room. Daisy truly enjoyed shopping on QVC and the occasional Ryan Gosling or Matthew McConaughey movie. Many times we had to turn up the volume on the tv to hear it over her musical, grown man snores.

In the past year and a half, we found that Daisy had Congestive Heart Failure and were quickly put on a strict regime of medications. The vet projected that she would only be with us for 9 more months based on her condition, but she insisted that his projection was wrong and lived 18 months.

Daisy leaves behind her everlasting love and the many memories we had with her, which we will cherish forever. While we are sad that she has passed, we ensured that she had a good life and are comforted knowing that she isn’t suffering from her heart condition any longer. We love you, Daisy.

Our beloved pet rabbit, Carrot Cake, passed away at 10:35pm on Tuesday, November 28, 2023 surrounded by her family. She is survived by her human family: Jessica, Aaron, Tristan, Isabella, Trevor and Aliyah. She is also survived by her fur family: a rabbit-Judy, a dog-Carla, a cat-Buttercup, and her very best friend, our ginger cat Simba. She and Simba cuddled together and napped together often.

Carrot Cake was very well loved and acquired many nicknames, such as: Karate Cake, Jelly Bean, Mini Pig, Bunnykins and Rabinical. Her favorite treats were parsley and celery.

Her passing has left a big hole in our hearts, and she will always be missed

My sweet little Pikachu we had you almost 13 years but that doesn't seem like long enough. You were just a 3-month-old ball of fluff when we adopted you and oh, we loved you instantly. You were so tiny but had such a big personality! Chuchu how you loved french fries, cuddles, your dust baths and most of all hiding in my shirt doing the chinchin rumba while the kids were cleaning your cage. You will be missed my little fur baby more than you will ever know sweet boy! Have fun playing with the other critter kids until we meet again We love you so very much and we are going to miss you my little French fry thief.

Dixie “Poodle Show” passed away Tuesday, December 12, 2023 with her parents by her side. She is survived by her dad, Andrew; mom, Shelby; sister, Lilah; and brother, Hayden. Up until her death, Dixie worked from home as a supervisor, keeping a close eye on her mom as she did her job throughout the day. Though she took pride in keeping her family safe, everyone knew her bark was worse than her bite. Dixie lived a long life and enjoyed being with her family, tennis balls and chicken. She will be missed dearly by all who knew her.
