Brinkley

Brinkley was my knight in shining armor for 14.5 years. We went through so many good and terrible times together. He is missed everyday. Thank you for the kindness Gentle Goodbyes. Their presence made letting go a little bit easier.

Griffey
2012-2026

I want to pay tribute to my dog Griffey. Griffey loved to do anything with me. He was spirited, happy and loving. He love dog treats and did many tricks for them. I could put one on his nose and he would flip it off and catch it in mid air. At home he would follow me all over the house. He had a bed in every room. He loved rides in the campervan and walks. He loved the backyard where he loved to chase squirrels.

Griffey is proceded in death by his brother Regis who I am sure they are chasing squirrels in the great beyond.

Griffey was loved and will forever be in my heart.

Bruce Phillips
2011-2026

We adopted our sweet baby Bruce in January of 2013 from the Idaho Humane Society. He passed away peacefully with the help of Gentle Goodbyes at the age of 15. He was our cuddly, sometimes rambunctious adventure buddy, and my soul dog. I hope heaven is full of warm blankets and pillows, sunshine, hot concrete to lay on, and lots of cheese and peanut butter.

Ruby

Goodbye to our special Rubilicious (Ruby).

You completed our family with your unconditional love, sense of adventure and beauty.

You will be missed by all, but especially by me.

You and I were soul mates from the first time your sweet puppy eyes met mine and we knew we were meant to fill each others lives with joy and love.

Our special bond will forever be a blessing in my life and I know we will remain together in spirit until we are reunited again.

This is when a lifetime of missing you starts but I wouldn’t trade the dance we shared together for 14 years for anything.

“May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face ,
and the rain fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold gently in the palm of his hand.”

Safe travels my beautiful brown-eyed girl. ❤️

Sysco

I just want to say how thankful I am for the amazing team you sent to help me. My little Sysco was the light to my everyday. The sweetest & most loving companion I’ve ever had. To his little paw taps & his little grunts waiting for a treat.. I was just so blessed to have loved him everyday. Thank you again. From the bottom of my heart.

Shooter

He was truly the best dog who with everyone and wanted to be friends with every dog he met. He loved walks and the dog park, and he hated squirrels and cats. Affection was always on his terms, so when he wanted to cuddle, we always took him up on it. This loss is huge and we just don’t know what to do with ourselves right now.

I find myself feeling a bit panicked at him not being here, and I realized we have lived with him almost the entire time we’ve been in our home. We got him 2 months after we moved in, over 15 years ago. He was a very important part of our family and we’ll love and miss him forever.

I wrote a song a while back, and here is his verse:

Shooter
He’s our O.G.
Shooter
Loves you and me
Shooter
What a scamp he used to be

Shooter
Used to run so fast
Shooter
How the time has passed
Shooter
Our love for you will last

Sofee Sue

My loving and loyal companion, Sofee Sue, went to “Kitty Heaven” on 3/28/26; the day after her 17th birthday. I was lucky enough to adopt her from the Humane Society in Boise when she was 8 weeks old. It was love at first sight. When she was a year old, I entered her in a calendar contest sponsored by the Humane Society. It was no surprise she was chosen to be “Miss September.” Proud momma moment! Sofee Sue rarely meowed, but the sound of her purring would fill the room. She was the smartest cat I’ve ever had and would follow my commands without hesitation. I think she understood every word I was saying. Big smile. Sofee Sue had a wonderful life and knew how much she was loved. I really miss her, but the memories I have with her will last a lifetime.

Ace
2011-2026

Here's our beautiful Ace, just a week before his passing with beloved ball in the sunshine. Ace had a deep love for his ball and kirkland dog biscuits. Even just the sight of the box would stop him dead in his tracks. He also enjoyed swimming and walks. He would get so excited and worked up for walks that he'd physically shake. He got his first taste of snow when we moved to Idaho in 2019. He loved snowballs being thrown at him and he'd revert to a puppy when playing in it.

He loved his people dearly too, having a different love for each of them. He leaves us all behind heartbroken, but grateful for the long wonderful life he had. We are all better people for having being loved by him. His yellow lab sister, Bailey, is especially sad. She loved bossing him around and he was always tolerated it like the great guy he was. He's now over the rainbow bridge free of pain. I think he'll oversee biscuit operations in heaven, being the perfect guy for the job. He can now also chase the ball for hours on end without any physical limitations. Enjoy it, our sweet guy. We love you!
