Forever Remembered 🐾🌈
Lemful Aloysius Dogg, aka: Lemmy
5/15/2013 - 5/21/2026
"Lemmy passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his loving family. He was with us for 13+ years and he never knew a stranger.
Everyone that visited his home was a good friend from the start with him, with only the luckiest of them receiving the privilege of LemDog climbing on them and sitting on their chest/lap! An 80 pound lapdog indeed.
Lem loved nothing more than relentlessly chasing his ball until the wee hours of the night, many times while his friends spent time around the fire pit. He would NEVER stop, unless Dad took his ball and put it away. Then he would sleep so soundly on his bed, snoring like a human.
His second love was “pizza bones,” the leftover crust from a slice of pizza. His pretty brown eyes would stare through you and he would “tap dance” until you handed them over.
He also loved going for rides in his dad’s truck.
He’s been the absolute sweetest dog since Day One in this house. Adopted from the Wi******er SPCA, we couldn’t have asked for a dog with more personality who loved licking your face off, cuddling with you on the couch, or hogging the bed at night. He was so gentle with kids too, allowing them to climb all over him and get away with everything. He never once got annoyed with them. It was a delight to see.
Lemmy will leave behind an emptiness that we can’t even begin to fathom. We are sure he’s already run across Rainbow Bridge to be greeted by his Granny who called Lem “her grandpuppy.”
Rest In Peace LemDog, LemBo, Bubba, Mr. Manny Man, Buster Brown, Buddy Roe, but most of all, our bestest buddy. We couldn’t have ever asked for a better dog than you."
