Today we remember Peachy.

Peachy passed away peacefully on her back porch surrounded by love and affection from her family on May 24, 2026.

Peachy Hambone “Rocket” Bodine, or Peachy for short, joined her family on March 15, 2013 when she was adopted from a rescue in Hamilton County. She was part boxer, part sheltie, and a mix of several other breeds but she was entirely herself. She quickly found her place in her home and in the hearts of those who knew her.

For most of her life, Peachy preferred the simple comforts of home. She loved lounging on the couch or her soft dog bed. Being with the people she loved was all she needed. Storms and rain
were never her favorite things and she was happiest when she could stay safe and dry indoors.

Each night, she found comfort sleeping beneath her favorite person's bed, always close to the one who made her feel most secure. Though she loved a peaceful life, Peachy carried a spark that earned her the nickname “Rocket”. In her younger years, she could run with incredible speed. Even as the years passed, that spirited puppy remained a part of who she was. One of her most endearing traditions was greeting her family after they had been away. Whether they were returning from work or simply out for dinner, Peachy felt it was important to welcome them home properly. She would proudly present a treasured item she had gathered, carrying it as if it were the greatest gift in the world. She loved posing for pictures with her prize, as long as no one tried to touch or take her prize away.

Peachy’s happiness was impossible to miss. Her tail wagged so intensely that she would sometimes wear the hair from its tip as it bounced against walls and furniture. Above all, Peachy
was sweet. She possessed a gentle grace that made her easy to love. She welcomed hugs with
an enthusiasm rarely seen in dogs.

It was my privilege to meet Peachy and the family who loves her so deeply. Some dogs fill a home with energy and excitement. Other dogs fill it with comfort, gentleness, and unwavering devotion. Peachy somehow did both. She was cherished every day of her life and she knew it. She will be forever missed.

Rest easy, gentle Peachy.

Today we remember Gus.

His family shared the beautiful memorial below with me. He will be forever loved and missed.

He was born 10/14/2013 on his dad’s 30th birthday. We brought him home 7 weeks later and he joined his best buddy Finley. She passed 09/13/2023. Gus missed her every day. He was a gentle giant who loved kids, but was protective of his family. He was the highlight of the neighborhood during a good snow and we would often receive texts and calls asking what Gus was doing during the snow. Anytime the snow would start, you could hear his excitement throughout the neighborhood. His mom would always post pictures and videos of his snow days for everyone to see. There will be so many people who think of him every time it snows.
We knew he needed the cold. So his dad built him a house that had an air conditioner in it for those hot summer days. He was the only dog around that had an air conditioned house all to themselves.
Gus loved to talk. Strangers thought he was barking, but it was just Gus talking to them. He greeted the neighbors by talking to them every morning when they left for work.
Gus loved his human sisters and would often sit and watch them play outside for hours. He had his family well trained to bring him treats any time he wanted. He was the best boy and is very much missed.
Gus passed at home on 5/28/2026. He spent the day eating all the ice cream and hotdogs he could want. His parents were at his side just how he was always at theirs. He was laid to rest next to his best buddy Fin under the mulberry trees.

Today we remember Jax.

Jax passed away peacefully at his home on May 23, 2026, surrounded by love and attention from his family.

For 13 years, Jax was more than a dog to his family. He was a constant companion and a steady presence. From the moment he arrived as a puppy, he filled his home with loyalty, intelligence, and warmth. He loved children and welcomed other furry companions. He was happiest simply being near the people he loved most.

As I sat with Jax and his family on a blanket on their back deck, it was clear to me how deeply
cherished he was. The stories they shared really painted the picture of a truly remarkable dog. Jax was very smart. He learned to ring bells at the door when he needed to go outside. He also taught this skill to his cat sibling. The little moments that feel routine in day to day life are often the ones missed the most.

Jax found joy in life's simple pleasures. He liked to relax beside his family, chewing happily on big bones. He just loved being together. In his final moments, he got to enjoy a special treat of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, a perfect treat that a beloved dog earned after a lifetime well lived. One of the greatest privileges of this work is witnessing the bond between the most loved
animals and their people. Jax’s family gave him a beautiful life filled with safety, affection, companionship, and joy. In return, he gave them unwavering love for 13 wonderful years. He will
live on in the sound of the bells at the door, in the stories shared about him, in the quiet moments at home, and in the hearts of those lucky enough to know him.

Rest in peace, sweet Jax.

Today we remember Blue.

Blue's family shared this wonderful tribute posted below with me for him. He is so loved and missed. I am so sorry for your loss, he was lucky to have such a loving family.

Blue,
You came into our lives unexpectedly, but from the very beginning it felt like you were always meant to be part of our family. In the year and a half we had you, you gave us so much love, happiness, and comfort. You were truly the sweetest boy, and you fit right in with us like you had been there forever.

You had such a gentle and loving personality that made everyone around you smile. Whether it was getting excited for your Greenies, going on walks, or just laying beside us, you made even the smallest moments feel special. You had a way of making hard days better just by being there.

No amount of time with you would have ever been enough, and losing you leaves such a big emptiness in our hearts. We wish we could have had so many more years with you, more walks, more cuddles, and more memories together. Even though your time with us was far too short, the love and joy you gave us will stay with us forever.

Thank you for being such a loyal, loving, and sweet companion. Thank you for every tail wag, every happy greeting, and every moment of unconditional love you gave us. We will forever miss hearing your footsteps, seeing your face, and having you by our side.

You will always be our good boy, Blue, and you will always hold a special place in our hearts. We love you endlessly and will cherish your memory forever. 💙

Today we remember Sadie.

Sadie passed away quietly enjoying one of her favorite snacks-Bil Jac, surrounded by love and affection, on May 24, 2026.

Sadie’s story with her family began with an adoption from The Second Chance rescue, an
appropriate title for the loving and wonderful life Sadie would share with her people. She was her dad’s “Baby Doll” and there is no question that she was deeply cherished. The bond they shared was truly extraordinary. They had a connection only seen when two hearts truly belong to one another. She adored him completely and he loved her BIG.

One of the most unforgettable stories shared with me about Sadie was the day she became lost after following the man who had come to pick up the side by side for repairs. Frightened and far from home, she wandered miles away until she was finally found in a ditch, exhausted and scared. Yet somehow, through the determination of her family, the support of the entire neighborhood, and perhaps a little divine guidance, Sadie made it right back where she belonged. The reunion between her and her dad was nothing short of magical. It was a reminder to everyone who witnessed it just how strong love can be.

After the passing of her dad, Sadie was lovingly welcomed into the next chapter of her life with
her owner's daughter, who continued to adore her just as fiercely. She carried with her the love she had always known and remained surrounded by comfort and kindness for the rest of her years. It feels especially fitting that Sadie’s beautiful markings were heart shaped. She loved her people fiercely and accepted it freely in return.

Now, though she is so greatly missed here, there is comfort in knowing that Sadie has found her way back into the arms of the man who first called her his Baby Doll. A connection that special could never truly be separated for long. She will be forever loved and missed.

Rest in peace, sweet Sadie.
