In Memoriam
Lizzy
?/2005-12/26/2025
Lizzy had a very long life and was our best little companion. Nick and I adopted her when we got together and it was the best decision ever - she gave us unconditional love for 8 years and was always present. She was there for my first litter and was always kind and patient with them. She also raised four other puppies.
She was Lily’s best friend and they were always together cuddling and licking their paws in sync. Lizzy enjoyed any guests we ever had and was always everyone’s favorite of our pack. She loved broccoli, ice cream, and beans… and if you fed any dog a treat she knew and would appear from nowhere to get some.
She passed peacefully laying on my hand the day after Christmas after a struggle with heart failure.
We will always miss you little girl…. We wish so deeply you could have lived another 20. I'll save you a spot on my pillow and I hope Kiwi met you at the rainbow bridge.

RIP our little Kiwi. She passed peacefully after a brief struggle with gastric lymphoma, purring in her last moments. She was the sweetest cat I’ve ever met… not a single bone in her body was anything but love. I first met her at a shelter. I was looking at one of her siblings to adopt and this little green eyed grey kitten quite crawled onto my shoulder from the kennel and wouldn’t leave. She became my first pet as an adult and was such a great friend.
In her life she raised 5 puppies (and a bird) with kindness and patience- never using her teeth or claws on them or me. She was a destroyer of bugs and stalker of mice- forever protecting me from the fear of moths. She stayed with me through two four years relationships and breakups and many other small ones, two college careers, many many moves including across the entire country to Colorado- and was always there to cry on when things got tough. She fell in love with Nick pretty quickly and she has been “his cat” since he came into my life - forever tapping him with her paw for the tiniest bit of dairy or love. She loved to be held upside down and would lay in your arms forever if you wanted.
Kiwi- I’m so utterly sorry this is how you had to go, my love. I thought we’d have another five years at least together. I love you so much and I hope I see you again.
