Remembering Ahsoka 🐀♥️

Ahsoka was a precious little rat with a playful spirit. She loved sharing mealworms and sweet potatoes with her sisters, playing with cat toys, and wrestling with her sisters. One of her family’s favorite memories is the way she would eagerly sn**ch treats right out of their hands.💕

She is dearly missed by her human family, her sisters, and her mama. Her tiny paws left a lasting imprint on the hearts of those who loved her.

At Cherished FurEver, our love for animals comes in every shape and size. We’re honored to care for companions of all kinds, because every life holds meaning and every bond deserves to be honored.

Thank you to Ahsoka’s family for trusting us to care for their sweet girl.🌈🐾

💙In Loving Memory of Sebastian Blu Thayne💙

October 28, 2012 – October 20, 2026

Some souls leave paw prints so deeply embedded in our hearts that even a lifetime would never be long enough with them.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of sweet Sebastian Blu, who has made his journey across the Rainbow Bridge. Sebastian was so much more than a beloved companion. He was a treasured family member, a source of unconditional love, and a beautiful soul whose presence brought comfort, peace, and happiness to everyone fortunate enough to know him.

At Cherished FurEver, we are deeply honored to help Sebastian’s family celebrate his incredible life and the love he leaves behind. Our hearts are with his mama, Lynox, his dad, Matthew, and everyone whose life was touched by this very special boy.

His mama has shared these beautiful words in his memory.❤️

A Loving Tribute to Sebastian Blu Thayne
Written by his mama, Lynox Blythe

God Himself gave his dad and me the greatest gift when Sebastian became a part of our lives in November of 2012.

I remember driving with some friends to Frederick, Maryland, late one evening to pick him up from the place where he was born. He was just six weeks old, and from the moment I saw him, I knew he was something truly special.

Sebastian was a reverse brindle blue fawn Pit Bull from the Razor and Gotti bloodlines, but his spirit and disposition far exceeded even the excellence of his breeding.

I don’t know that there are words powerful enough to express what Sebastian meant to us—his mama, Lynox Blythe Sterlington of Chattanooga, Tennessee; his dad, Matthew W. Dancy of West Virginia; or anyone blessed enough to know him.

There simply aren’t words to describe the depth and vastness of our love for him or what a true treasure he was every single day of his life, from the moment I first laid eyes on him until his very last day.

His nature was so unique. He carried an anchored, grounded energy that brought comfort, peace, and companionship to so many. Throughout his travels with both of his parents, our friends, and our family, Sebastian had a way of making everyone around him feel his beautiful presence.

The grief of losing him is palpable, jarring, and absolute because the love, joy, sweetness, and connection he gave so freely were incredibly rare. His spirit was rich, his presence was powerful, and his love was a gift to everyone who embraced him and had the pleasure of spending time with him.

Sebastian loved car rides, meeting new people, playing in the sunshine, and rolling through grassy hillsides. He loved running alongside the Jeep, riding on four-wheelers, and taking every opportunity he could to splash and play in the water. Whether it was a lake, stream, or creek, he was happiest experiencing life’s adventures with the people he loved.

We called him Sebby, our “BLUY,” and Bastian.♥️

There will never be another like him.

We are forever humbled and grateful that God chose us to love and care for such an extraordinary soul. Sebastian was one of the greatest gifts we have ever received, and the love we shared with him will remain in our hearts for all eternity.

Forever our beloved furbaby. Forever our Sebastian Blu.🐾💙

With endless love,

Lynox Blythe

🌈🐾Run free, sweet Sebastian Blu. May the sunshine always warm your face, the grassy hills stretch endlessly before you, and every stream be yours to explore.

Thank you for giving your family nearly 14 beautiful years of unconditional love. Until you meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.💙🐾

With love and deepest sympathy,
Your friends at Cherished FurEver Pet Funeral Home & Crematory

Our hearts are so heavy as we send our deepest condolences to Riley’s family.💔

Riley wasn’t just a familiar face here at Cherished FurEver. She was our friend, and every time she stopped by to visit, she brought a little extra sunshine into our day. Those sweet visits and the happiness she brought with her will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Some animals have a way of leaving paw prints not only on the hearts of their families, but also on everyone fortunate enough to know them. Riley was certainly one of those special souls.

To Riley’s family, thank you for sharing your precious girl with us. We know how deeply she was loved, and we hope you find comfort in all the beautiful memories you made together.

Run free, sweet Riley. You will be missed more than you know. Until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.🌈🐾❤️

🌈🐾Sweet Lydia has crossed the Rainbow Bridge, leaving behind a lifetime of love and precious memories. Her mom shared these beautiful words about her beloved girl, and we wanted to share them with you all.

Rest peacefully, sweet Lydia. You were so very loved, and that love will last forever.❤️🐾

In the loving words of Lydia’s mom:
Lydia "Lydia Bug"

Lydia, beloved companion and cherished girl, passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of Monday, October 26, 2026, at nearly 19 years of age.

Lydia joined her family not long after Jason returned home from Iraq, and she was a part of nearly their entire marriage. From her first night home, she made her place clear: she was queen!
When her mama said, "Lydia, let's go nite-nite," she ran to the bedroom, jumped halfway up the bed, climbed the rest of the way, and settled in right beside Mama's head, where she slept for many nights to come.

Lydia was a creature of habit. Every morning and every night, she sat patiently on the vanity, waiting for her back rub and her hair to be brushed. These quiet rituals became the rhythm of her family's days, and they will be deeply missed. One thing she was vocal about was feeding time: no alarm was needed; Lydia was the alarm, wanting to be fed!

Though she was never much of a cuddler, she loved her daddy’s chest, and Lydia had a gift for knowing when she was needed. In her final nights, she found her way back to her old place in bed, right next to Mama's head, and let herself be held. It was one last gift, and a reminder that after all those years, they still needed each other just as much as ever.

Lydia was her mama's baby, but in so many ways, she took care of her mama, too. She is survived by her mama, Rhonda; her daddy, Jason; and her sister and brother, Annabelle and Stanley. She was loved and will always be loved more than words can say.

Nite-nite, sweet Lydia Bug, Mama will see you in the morning.

🌈🐾 In Loving Memory of Sweet Roxie 🌈🐾

January 9, 2014 – October 20, 2026

Some dogs come into our lives and leave paw prints on our hearts that time could never erase. Sweet Roxie was one of those very special souls.

Rescued from Miami, Roxie found her forever home with a family who would love and cherish her for almost 13 wonderful years. She became her mom and dad’s very first baby shortly after they moved in together, marking the beginning of a beautiful journey filled with unconditional love, laughter, and countless precious memories.

Roxie was a little girl with a BIG personality! She was bouncy, full of s***k, and always bursting with energy. She could run like the wind, bark at just about anything, and never missed an opportunity to let her voice be heard! She even appointed herself the official dinner alarm, making sure her family never forgot when it was time to eat.

Some of Roxie’s greatest joys were the simplest things in life. She loved sharing beef jerky with her dad, soaking up the sunshine alongside her pack, sneaking delicious table scraps, and enjoying all the belly rubs she could get. Whether she was racing around at full speed or lounging in her favorite sunny spot, Roxie knew how to make every day a little brighter.

For nearly 13 years, Roxie wasn’t just a beloved dog. She was their first baby, a treasured member of their family, a faithful companion, and a constant source of happiness. She was there as her family began building their life together, filling their home with love, laughter, and the kind of memories that will be held close forever.

Although her little paws have taken their final steps here on earth, the love Roxie gave will never fade. Her family will forever remember her joyful spirit, her endless energy, her sweet little routines, and all the ways she made their house a home.

Run fast and free across the Rainbow Bridge, sweet Roxie girl. Enjoy all the sunshine, beef jerky, and belly rubs heaven has to offer. You were your family’s first baby, and you will always hold a special place in their hearts.

Rest peacefully, beautiful girl. You were loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure.🐾❤️

🌈🐾 In Loving Memory of Karson 🌈🐾

Sometimes the sweetest souls leave us far too soon, and beautiful Karson was certainly one of those special souls.

At the age of four, Karson was welcomed into her forever home as a rescue. Little did her family know just how much love and happiness she would bring into their lives over the next three years.

Karson was the definition of a loyal and loving companion. She found joy in life’s simplest pleasures: her twice-daily walks, a good car ride, and, of course, her favorite nighttime treats. But more than anything, Karson loved being close to her humans. Whether she was snuggled up beside them, enjoying a gentle pet, or reaching out her paw just to have someone hold it, she always wanted to feel their love.

Although Karson’s unexpected passing at just seven years old has left her family heartbroken, the love she gave and the memories she created will last a lifetime. Her family may have rescued her, but in return, she gave them three beautiful years of unconditional love.

Sweet Karson, your time here was far too short, but your paw prints will remain on the hearts of those who loved you forever. May you enjoy endless walks, car rides, and all the treats your heart desires as you run free across the Rainbow Bridge.

Rest peacefully, beautiful girl. You were so very loved.♥️

🌈🐾 In Loving Memory of Maya Claire 🌈🐾
January 16, 2013 – October 1, 2026
Gotcha Day: February 27, 2013

Sometimes, the sweetest love stories begin when we least expect them. And sometimes, we don’t choose our pets… they choose us.❤️

Thirteen years ago, Maya’s family went to pick up a completely different puppy. But one little ball of black-and-white fluff had other plans!

Full of personality and determination, Maya came bouncing over, tumbling through the other puppies, knocking down a toddler, and covering her in kisses from ear to ear before curling up beneath her chin. All in less than five minutes!

That sweet little girl may have been too surprised to speak at first, but it didn’t take long before the giggles started and she wrapped Maya in the biggest hug her little arms could manage. In that moment, a beautiful friendship was born.

Maya had found her person, and nothing was going to stand in her way.❤️

For the next 13 years, Maya was their beloved, snuggly, fluffy little monster. She filled their home with laughter, their hearts with love, and their lives with memories they will treasure forever.

What began with one determined little puppy and a toddler’s tight embrace became a lifetime of unconditional love.

Rest peacefully, sweet Maya Claire.🌈🐾 You may have crossed the Rainbow Bridge, but the little girl you chose all those years ago will carry your love in her heart forever.

From all of us at Cherished FurEver Pet Funeral Home & Crematory, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Maya’s family. Thank you for allowing us to honor such a special little soul.❤️
