In memory of Rascal who crossed over the Rainbow Bridge June 9, 2025. Our sympathies go out to Ashtabula Senior Center and all who visited. It was an honor to be asked to care for your baby during this difficult time.

RASCAL WHITACRE

2007 – June 9, 2025
In Loving Memory of Rascal Whitacre
Rascal Whitacre, age 18, of Ashtabula, Ohio, peacefully crossed over the Rainbow Bridge at her home on June 9, 2025.
Rascal became a beloved member of the Ashtabula Senior Center family just before Christmas in 2015, following the passing of her previous owner. From the moment she arrived, it was clear she was meant to be there. As the first pet in the Center’s Pet Therapy Program, Rascal brought warmth, comfort, and joy to everyone she met.
Her life was filled with unconditional love, endless treats, and happy moments. Rascal formed special bonds with nearly every patron and all the staff at ACCOA. She was a gentle and affectionate soul, known for her sweet nature and quiet charm. If she felt you were taking too long to give her a treat, she’d sit up on her back legs and gently tap you with her paw—a signature move that always brought smiles.
She delighted in playing with string toys and rolling in catnip on the office floor. A true foodie at heart, Rascal never turned down a treat. And when she wasn’t indulging in play or snacks, she could be found napping in one of her many cozy beds—or on a patron’s coat or bag, which she claimed as her own.
Rascal leaves behind her devoted brother Moe, who misses her dearly, along with all her friends at the Senior Center who cherished her deeply. Her presence brought comfort, laughter, and love to so many, and her memory will forever be a part of the Center's heart.
Rest in peace, sweet Rascal. You were truly one of a kind.

Today, June 10, 2025 is World Pet Memorial Day.

Different ways honor the cherished pets who have left paw prints on our hearts:

Create a memory jar with small notes sharing memories of your pet. Place in a decorative jar. Read the notes when feeling down.

Plant a tree or flower in memory of your pet. As it grows, it serves as a living memorial.

Use a collar, tags or favorite toy to cremate a keepsake. You can use these to make shadow box, photo frame or jewelry.

Share their story. Write about their personality and the joy they brought you. Share with your friends and family.

Honor your pet by helping others in need. Volunteer at animal shelter or donate supplies in your pet's name.

MELLO BAKER

May 2012 – May 30, 2025

Mello was a Golden Retriever and came to her family as a rescue puppy and quickly became the heart of their family. She loved to be in the garage with her dad, outside laying in the grass, or playing ball. If mom was cooking in the kitchen, she was always close by waiting for any crumbs to fall. Her favorite toy was a ball.
Mello is very missed by her human parents, human brother Nathan, beagle brother Ernie and cat sisters, Peyton and Layla. Forever in their hearts, their sweet girl.

In memory of Fang Pyatt who crossed over the Rainbow Bridge May 27, 2025. Our sympathies go out to Summer Pyatt, Ethan Pyatt, and Kaius Pyatt. It was an honor to be asked to care for your baby during this difficult time.

FANG PYATT

March 24, 2013 – May 27, 2025

Fang was a grey and white Siberian Husky with bright pale blue eyes. He was never a typical husky (unless he got off the leash, but even then, it was a game with him). He knew so many tricks and always impressed when they showed him off. He always wanted attention or be petted. He would let his tiny humans hang and lay on him and he would kiss them. His favorite toy was a long, brightly colored squeaky toy with at least16 squeekers in it.
He had a crazy calm and happy personality and this natural curious and gentle nature that was just amazing to see. He could brighten up his families darkest of days.

In memory of Mo Sidley Burns who crossed over the Rainbow Bridge May 12, 2025. Our sympathies go out to Terry, Charles & Connor Burns. It was an honor to be asked to care for your baby during this difficult time.

MO SIDLEY BURNS

April 23, 2010 – May 12, 2025

Mo Sidley was a Labrador Border Collie mix. Terry, Charles & Connor had to say goodbye to their beloved big girl – Mo Sidley. She was entrusted to them by the late Michael Sidley who rescued her from a drainage ditch some 15 years ago. She grew up right alongside Connor for 12 wonderful years. Fiercely loyal, the protector, the herder. Ready to greet you with a growl twice her size or with happy woots through a mouthful of squishmallow.
They will miss Mo’s soulful brown eyes and her always soft but crazy fur. They will miss playing fetch with sticks and baseballs until her tongue lolled to your knees and they had to tell her to stop. They will miss her upside-down play at bedtime and her silly love for sniffing their hair. Wonderful, crazy, beautiful perfect. Terry, Charles and Connor said they will let her go back to Mike for now. They know he missed her first.

In memory of Maxxiine Trista Smith who crossed over the Rainbow Bridge May 19, 2025. Our sympathies go out to The Smith Family. It was an honor to be asked to care for your baby during this difficult time.

MAXXIINE TRISTA SMITH

November 26, 2011 – May 19, 2025

Maxxii girl was a blue nose Pit Bull. She was always a sweet and loving gentle girl. Her family got her at the age of six weeks old, and she was just the best girl ever. She did not have a favorite toy, but her humans were her favorite “toy.” She loved everyone and everyone loved her. She was a beautiful soul. Maxxiine’s family love and miss her.

05/23/2025

In memory of Pradda who crossed over the Rainbow Bridge April 17, 2025. Our sympathies go out to Travis Brown, Tatiana Coleman and family. It was an honor to be asked to care for your baby during this difficult time.

PRADDA BROWN

2009 – April 17, 2025

A loyal companion and a true friend. With heavy hearts, Pradda’s family announce the passing of their cherished dog, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge on April 17, 2025. Pradda was not just a pet, she was family. A gentle soul with a fierce loyalty, Pradda gave them 16 years of unconditional love, joy, and unforgettable moments.
From her puppy days chasing butterflies to her wise old years curled up beside them, Pradda brought warmth and laughter into every room she entered. She had a way of knowing when they needed comfort, often offering her head to be scratched or her side to lean on. Her eyes spoke volumes, full of love, loyalty, and a little sass when it was time for her favorite treats.
Pradda was more than a dog, she was a protector, a playmate, and a therapist wrapped in fur. She will be deeply missed by Travis Brown, Tatiana Coleman, and everyone who had the blessing of knowing her.
Though her paws no longer walk beside them, Pradda’s spirit will forever live in their hearts. We will see you again someday, sweet girl. Until then, run free and chase the wind. Rest in peace, Pradda. You were – and always will be – deeply loved.

In memory of Bella who crossed over the Rainbow Bridge May 4, 2025. Our sympathies go out to The Jones Family. It was an honor to be asked to care for your baby during this difficult time.

BELLA JONES

July 4, 2016 – May 4, 2025

Bella was a boxer mix and she crossed over the Rainbow Bridge surrounded by her family at home on Sunday, May 4th after a short illness, even smiling during her final belly rubs. She was truly a queen who loved to dress up, snuggle under the blankets, and always find the comfiest spot no matter where she was at, or who she had to kick out of their spot to get the seat.
She will be missed by her family, Robert, Harper, Steve and Kelli. Doggie brother, Charlie and even by her feline brother, Sox…whom she was a great protector for.
