Leroy
I got Leroy from German Shepherd Rescue in May of 2004. His name was Bogart then, probably because he was such a handsome boy. But after having him for about a week I realized his personality was just way too goofy for his name so I tried several others and Leroy was the one that stuck. I lost Leroy to cancer on May 1st of this year. We almost had 7 years together. He absolutely lived to play fetch. He also loved to take walks, play in his wading pool and chase the garden hose. He was never a lap dog but he loved for me to rub his ears and scratch his belly. There is so much about him that I miss. I miss seeing his big dog face appear in my front window the moment I pull into the driveway each afternoon after work. I miss the way he howled and talked back to me when he was displeased with something. I miss how funny and goofy he was, how much he loved life and how excited he got anytime my friends or family came to the house. I mis s you dear friend.

Lexi

Lexi survived being chained to a tree and left to die. (Her rescuers arrived with bolt cutters.) After she joined our family, she survived 3 bouts with cancer. Finally, age and arthritis took their toll and she crossed the rainbow bridge. She loved people, cheese, and riding in vehicles. She was absolutely certain (after delivering a stern barking) that all visitors to our home had come just to pet her. We fell in love with Lexi at a GSRA meet and greet in December 2016. She brightened our lives until she left us this month (May 2023) and we always will treasure her in our hearts.

Lexi Lou
Lexi came to her forever home in the early spring of 2007. Like most rescued animals, poor Lexi had some baggage but with a lot of hard work and patience, she became a very well rounded dog and a beloved member of the family. She saw the family grow from, a cat and myself, to include my wife and later on, my two sons, with whom she loved to give kisses to. Two years ago, we moved to a bigger house with a large backyard. Lexi loved chasing the squirrels and bounding around the wide open space. Her other favorite pass-time was wrestling and playing with her best friend Andy, the family cat. She loved cats and during her time with our family, she grew close to three of them. Always high energy, she was ready to play or go for a walk at a moments notice. A quick whistle and her big German Shepherd ears would shoot up and she would be by my side ready for love and kisses. In late October, Lexi's appetite went away suddenly. After a trip to the vet, she was diagnosed with lymphoma. A round of medicine perked her back up, almost to her old self again. We were hopeful that she might give us a few more months of joy and happiness. Unfortunately, after two weeks, her energy left, along with her appetite again. She was eight years old.

Lily

Our Lily we miss you every day. Our family is not the same without you. I hope you are chasing the bunnies and are pain free. Until we meet again my seeet girl.

Logan
Logan was my best friend. He left this world behind in April of 2014. Its taken me many attempts to write this memorial because of the emotions that swell up. Loss, sadness, wishing he was still here. I know however that those are my emotions. Logan only lived emotions like bravery, loyalty, and love. He was my brother, my companion, my strength. I still miss him everyday.....his cold nose and the way he would gently nudge my hand with it to produce a pat on the head even if I wasn't paying full attention.....how gentle he was when I brought my newborn son home from the hospital.....how much he loved to talk to the squirrels when they would show up outside of the window...how he loved to run in an open field..how many lives he made brighter. I am sad for your passing but.... Logan I know...I am certain....you are guarding the Rainbow Bridge...watching over the younger dogs until they learn their way and making sure everyone is smiling. Go rest now in the sun and think back of me often as I do you. We will meet again one day Lo.
