Zoey Epling - Unknown - January 31, 2024

Departed: 01/31/2024 (Wooster)

Obituary Preview: At the beginning of Zoey’s life, she had an adventure that only she knew about. On February 15, 2014, that all changed. This is when she was rescued from the bitter cold of winter and started a new life with her new mom, Rachel. She was approximately 1-2 years old at the time. She was a beautiful white doggie with a brindle patch and the sweetest demeanor. It is thought that she might be a Jack Russell mix and/or Boxer mix, but who really knows. She was our perfect, beautiful “West Virginia Special.” She was calm yet playful, loyal yet stubborn at times, and in the end, very sick yet tough and incredibly strong.

Zoey loved squeaky toys. One squeak is all it took to turn her switch to “ON.” She loved to play with her babies, take walks and go on secrete adventures. She was a free spirit that did not like to be on the leash all the time. She often would run around our neighborhood for hours visiting the friends she made on her own. Many of which would give her treats and allow her to come inside. During these adventures, she would go into the woods and run around on the mountain sides of WV, but she always came home when she was ready for a nap or dinner.

Zoey was a well-traveled dog visiting many cities like Chicago, Williamsburg, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Orlando, Wilmington, NC and many more. She loved going to the beach most of all, but she also really enjoyed camping/hiking trips, canoeing, boating, and swimming. While she disliked a bath, she loved to be around water and swimming.

She loved going for walks with her sister, Jayde and brother, Kohl until the walks got to be too hard on her. Then came her new favorite … riding in her stroller. She smiled nearly the entire time she strolled through the neighborhood looking down on Jayde and Kohl. For the last ten years, Zoey has stolen, not only her mom’s heart, but so many others who knew her by bringing them joy with her bright eyes and sweet personality. She gave unconditional love to all of us. We are blessed to have shared her life with her. Zoey will be missed and will never be forgotten. We can imagine her strolling through eternity, smiling, looking down on us. We love you, Zoey!

Skylla Poth - April 13, 2012 - January 16, 2024

Departed: 01/16/2024 (Wooster)

Obituary Preview: Skylla chose Logan to be her person on June 17, 2012 at 10 weeks of age. So, Logan and LeeAnn took her home. Logan adored her from the beginning, but he soon learned that raising a puppy was harder than he thought. She was a very stubborn puppy, but also such a sweetheart. She received the nickname "Puppy Girl" very early on and it carried thru her life.

Skylla loved summertime and getting to play in her pool. But then winter would come and she would be in her element playing in the snow.

She was always bossy to an extent and very vocal, insisting to be heard when she deemed appropriate. When she was approximately 1.5 years of age they adopted a friend for her, his name is Thor. She quickly made him understand that she was the boss even though he was larger than her. They became very bonded and spent the last 10 years together. She enjoyed her life in all ways. When Logan had children of his own, she became a mother of sorts to them and protective of them. Skylla dealt with hip dysplasia from an early age. But it never slowed her down. She and Thor would play like pups. Skylla then became a big sister to another dog brother, Sabie and then to dog brother, King. But it was always Skylla and Thor, best of friends!

In October 2023 she was diagnosed with cancer that was inoperable and it proceeded to grow quickly. Then on Jan 10th when LeeAnn awoke, it was clear Skylla was in severe pain. LeeAnn took her to the vet where it was discovered she had torn her acl. LeeAnn and Logan made the very hard decision to end her pain on Jan 16th.

Skylla leaves a huge hole in their hearts! It's much too quiet at home, even though 3 dogs remain, she was the one always talking and would start them all singing. Lee Ann and Logan would like to Thank Dr. Kim and vet assistant Angie and the staff at Aquadale for taking such good care of their Puppy Girl all these years with amazing compassion until the end.

Scooter Parson - August 29, 2010 - December 03, 2023

Departed: 12/03/2023 (Wooster)

Obituary Preview: Scooter Lee was born in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on 8-29-2010 to Diesel and Lexi. He moved to Ohio with his human mom, Christy, when he was 8 weeks old. Scooter passed away 12-3-2023 at 13 1/2 years old. He is survived by his human family and doggy fur sisters, Skye and Allie and guinea pig brother, Patrick. Scooter had the most beautiful blue eyes and everyone that met him fell in love with him. He was the biggest doggy goofball. He could make anyone laugh with his antics such as the day he dragged his plastic pool filled with water into the house or when he would go sled riding and would carry his sled back up the hill. Scooter loved car rides, toys, swimming, McDonald's cheeseburgers, cheese, watermelon, and opening presents at Christmas. He was the best dog one could ever own. He protected his family and provided unconditional love. He will be greatly missed. RIP Scooter Lee. Love and miss you so much!!

King Porter - December 17, 2022 - December 01, 2023

Obituary Preview: james porter Attachments 9:44 AM (36 minutes ago) to me

King went to the Rainbow Bridge on December 1, 2023. He hadn't even reached a year old. This big bundle of joy will be missed by his family and everyone who knew him. He was very energetic and loved to run and play with his sister, Nala, and get love from his little humans. He loved belly rubs and treats. He was friendly to everyone he met. His favorite activity was lying under his dad's feet and chewing up anything he could get ahold of. We lost him doing what he loved to do and that was exploring with Nala.

Run free King. You will always be in our hearts.

We will meet you at the bridge someday.

Departed: 01/26/2023 (Wooster)

Obituary Preview: Loco

Loco died peacefully alongside his mom of nearly 14 years Thursday January 26th under the care of Mairs Veterinary Clinic.

Loco came into our lives in 2009 he was 2-4 years old at that time. He was a lover treats and belly rubs. He was a friend to anyone who petted him.

Loco will be greatly missed by many, but none more so than his mom Sharon. Through thick and thin she loved him with all her heart, and though the pain she feels without him is great, it in no way would compare to never having had him in her life.

I will miss your funny dances whenever you got excited. You were a good boy Loco, I miss you already.

Schroeder Slocum - Unknown - September 01, 2021

Departed: 09/01/2021 (Wooster)

Obituary Preview: Schroeder went to the Rainbow Bridge on September 1st, 2021. This special loving little guy will be truly missed by his family. He was amazing. He just kept going and going. He was a basset mix and came to us as a rescue dog at approximately the age of 5. For the next 9 years he was truly loved by all that met him. During his lifetime he beat heartworms and for the last 2 yrs and 10 months was unable to use his back legs and was in a doggie wheelchair. But that never slowed him down. But the greatest thing he did was waking up his dad in the middle of the night when we had a house fire some years ago. He woke me up minutes before the smoke alarms even went off. So everyone was able to safely get out. That's why he will always be Our Little Hero.

Run free little buddy. You will always be in our hearts. You are on special guy.

We will meet you at the bridge someday. Truly missed,

Wilson James Triplett - Unknown - August 08, 2021

Departed: 08/08/2021 (Wooster)

Obituary Preview: Wilson James - 2007 - 2021

Wilson - was a Black Miniature Schnauzer recognized by the AKC as a purebred. He was born in the fall of 2007 and passed away at home.

His mother was from Holland and his father Duncan was a champion show dog. In 2009 after we lost our first dog brought Wilson into our lives. After a transaction for a new puppy was complete but the puppy was not ready to come home -Sheri, Wilson’s owner asked if I would be interested in a two year old male, Wilson. He had won a show and just was not interested in showing anymore. He wanted to be a lap dog and time was just not always available for that luxury. The answer was YES! Wilson and I drove home in the pouring rain and he never took his big brown eyes off me.

He was welcomed home by Oreo a black and silver Miniature Schnauzer as well as my very surprised husband - Matt. Matt asked I thought you were getting a puppy? Yes - she will be ready in a few weeks. TWO!!?? well technically 3 with Oreo.

Wilson was the sweetest most protective handsome boy. He was gentle, kind and stern if needed, for example when hubby would lean in to kiss me Wilson would growl. He was always on my my 3 or 6 and in the same room, usually on my lap. He welcomed home Olive Oyl the new puppy and a year later a new little human - Janae- Wilson enjoyed 10 years with Janae because that little girl dropped food like crazy.

Over the years he has travelled with us, enjoyed car rides getting some great air time hanging his head out the window. He had amazing neighbors who threw treats his way or bread out for the birds and he would wiggle through the fence to get it. He enjoyed his big back yard always walking the fence line sniffing for the “perfect spot” he liked the snow in winter and air conditioning in the summer. He tolerated walks only because the little kids in the neighborhood would pet him and tell him he was so soft. He still had his beautiful walk from his show days. He was always beautifully groomed by his loving dad, Matt. He did not “play” often but when he did he was such a joy to watch. If I was not petting him or holding his paw which he required he would go sit next to another person in the house and stare at me until I called him back - as to say - see you should be jealous. For his age he was in good health - he had an enlarged heart - I always said of course because he loves me so much!

He spent years in my office napping and keeping an eye on the neighborhood from the window while I worked. The last year he spent being my unofficial support dog. He knew when I was in pain and would lay his head on the side of my face where the pain occurs. He would always go down the stairs before me, wait for me and watch me to ensure I made it down safely. The connection between us was a true bond of love - it never wavered it just continued to increase.

Wilson was very smart, he knew when it was 6am and 6pm he would be on his mat waiting to be fed and at 7pm it was evening treat time. If we did not take the hint he would come to us and bark one time. He disliked daylight savings time when he had to wait an extra hour.

The only thing Wilson loved more than me was food. If the cabinet door was left ajar he would rummage around for the bag he wanted. Yes he also stood on the open dishwasher and licked the dirty silverware.

He was greeted at the rainbow bridge by our previous schnauzers- Jellybean,Oreo and Olive Oyl as she passed at a young age.

He will be greatly missed by Matt, Melissa, Janae and Tulip Belle (salt and pepper schnauzer) Triplett.

Chelo (Cielo) Hutchinson - Unknown - July 27, 2021

Departed: 07/27/2021 (Wooster)

Obituary Preview: Chelo (Cielo) August 2006 - July 27, 2021

Our devoted and beloved Chelo crossed the Rainbow Bridge on July 27th leaving our hearts broken and numb. Travis’ best friend waited--weak and disoriented, for him to come home that afternoon to say “goodbye”. Their bond could not be broken at first sight and even looking at death’s door. Chelo was a high energy dog. Early on she accompanied him on his duties as deputy process server and ultimately, his Campaign Manager for Sheriff. Her picture graced the sides of his truck or looking out the window. Onlookers would say, “There she is!” She likely helped win the campaign for him! Chelo was found at the Care Center parking lot 12 years ago; exhausted and in heat stroke mode. Carole ran out picked her up and revived her with the help of her nurses. No collar, skinny, but energetic. After all, she was part Jack Russell! For two weeks we tried to find the owner and eventually located them only a neighborhood away. Sadly, we had to give her up, but the best side of the story is we got her back a couple weeks later. I guess they were smitten with the letter we wrote about “While I Was on Vacation” and included a clause that “If EVER…” She jumped in Travis’ truck and never looked back!!

Her main love, beside Travis, was her red ball that she was obsessed about. Every day- all day! She sometimes reminded us of a seal holding the ball on her nose. Always a loud but fun situation to watch. We supplemented the fenced-in yard with an invisible fence, but it was not needed as Travis worked with her and she never left the perimeter. She did however just jump the 4 ft fence when she tired.

Travis named her Chelo, but her real name is Cielo; Spanish for “sky/heaven.” She truly was from heaven and a God-send companion. Chelo was too active to be a therapy dog and really was not a petting dog. As a guard dog, she backed down from nothing; as a toy inspector, she made sure all toys were safe and moved properly; and every bag that came into the house had to be smelled for contraband (treats or toys). But her eyes were always looking for Travis. Somehow, she always knew he was about at the driveway. Going for rides was her alone time with Travis and it did not matter if it was down the driveway or a hundred miles! She was with her best friend. Her only dislike was delivery trucks. She could spot them a mile away or around a corner. They always got a tongue lashing. Chelo was clearly a dog that was a leader. She helped train Carole’s rescue dogs to be dogs over the years. Thank you, Chelo.

We knew that she had a heart murmur, so any surgeries were out of the question except for a couple of teeth. When she seriously injured her ligament, the ball playing had to stop. It seemed that is when we noticed she started to age quickly. What magic did that ball have for her? One month away from turning fifteen we could see a fast decline. We are grateful to Dr. Mark Yacaparo for giving us three extra months with her. We cried everyday watching her try her best to stay vibrant, but her heart just gave away. She was waiting for Travis to come home and had a heart attack right in front of him that afternoon. Tough. Thanks to Dr. Cantrell for coming back to the Office to ease her suffering but it did nothing for us, naturally. Chelo, (Cielo) will always be in our hearts as there are too many memories to forget.

It was a clear decision to contact Unforgettable Tails at Custer Funeral Home to help us deal with the emotions and proper caring services for our Chelo. What a wonderful service to man’s best friend…even last viewing with tagging. That helped us get some closure and we truly thank them.

Optimus Robinson - October 10, 2014 - May 24, 2021

Departed: 05/24/2021 (Wooster)

Obituary Preview: Optimus Prime Robinson, 6, of Seville, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, May 24, 2021. He was born October 6, 2014, & arrived at his furever home on January 15, 2015.

Optimus was the start of his family's puzzle as he was bought as a housewarming gift to his human brother Bradyn. He was the poster child for the perfect family dog, wherever you were he was almost always in the eyesights distance. In his prime, he made it a goal to introduce himself to the whole road of neighbors on Buffham Road & not even his shock collar could stop his social addiction. One look into that handsome face & you just couldn't stay mad at him.

Aside from being a "secret" adventurer, his other favorite past-times were swimming in his pond with his family, sitting front & center for family movie night, laying in the cool snow while his brother & cousin played nearby, begging for food & sleeping on "the job". While Optimus didn't enjoy bath time he couldn't pass up the chance for a free car ride to see his aunt Mary at Fancy Paws Pet Grooming. Some nicknames he acquired over the years include Optimosis, Fluffaluffagus, Fuzzy Wuzzy & Majestic Wingman (thanks mom).

Optimus was one of a kind, helped us grow as a family & was always there to comfort us more times than we can count. He was very good at playing the "Great Protector" (especially during the night while the rest of his family was asleep he would often let out a few barks to let us know he's still on guard). With his charismatic charm, there wasn't one person he met that's heart was left untouched. The day before his passing was spent wading in the pond with his family, basking in the sun & eating steak with his dog food for dinner. Our family has cried nearly enough tears to equate to his lifetime of drool, he will be greatly missed & never forgotten.

Optimus is survived by his 3 fur siblings: his special bonded sister Nova (German Shephard/Newfoundland) who was only 2 days younger than him as well as his brother & sister Cash & Amaya (Great Danes). His human father & mother John & Ashley Robinson, his cousin Aubrey, and his brother & best friend Bradyn Robinson.

The family would like to thank Optimus for all the signs he's been leaving us since his passing, All Creatures Veterinary Clinic & Lodge for the exceptional care they provided him over his 6 short years as well as Unforgettable Tails pet cremation for their professionalism, respect & compassion shown to our family in this very difficult time. "God once said, I need someone strong enough to pull a cart but gentle enough to love a child smart enough to protect his master and passionate enough to love his family someone with so much love they can lift the spirits of a broken heart so God created the Great Pyrenees"

We hand raised him from a tiny 1lb boy. He went everywhere we went. He stole our hearts from day 1.

He traveled to Germany and back with us. He has been the best dog we have ever had.

Going to bed at night will never be the same without my main man.

He is so loved and will be missed by all. Especially his 'sister' Bella Bleu.

I'm sure he was met at the rainbow bridge by his human brother Corey.

Forever in my hearts.

Tazz Yungen - Unknown - April 27, 2021

Obituary Preview: On Tuesday April 27, 2021 We lay to rest our life long companion and best friend Tazz Yungen. He leaves behind his loving mother of 13 long wonderful years Kim yungen and two brothers Brandon and Trent.

Tazz was a 110lb reverse brindle Pitbull Boxer mix who spent his entire life in the care of his loving family. Tazz had a great and full life, From the first day home to his last day on this earth he was always the sweetest, most dependable, loyal and lovable dog you would ever meet. Sadly Father Time has finally caught up with our ol boy. After running away countless times, being hit by 4 different vehicles and being in some pretty gnarly fights, Tazz always came out on top like the tank he is even if he was hurt he always pushed forward and got better. unfortunately his most recent battle with his health is what has taken him from us, cancer has made its way to his liver and kidneys along with a few other health issues that just naturally come with old age. He was constantly in pain everyday this last year but he always seemed to make the best of it with his happy, lovable energy, so with that in mind and with heavy hearts we had to make the choice to say goodbye to our most cherished family member to spare him from anymore of his suffering.

Atlas Miller - June 02, 2013 - April 12, 2021

Departed: 04/12/2021 (Wooster)

Obituary Preview: Crimson King’s Atlas of my World AKC WS44562306 Born 6.2.2013 – Left for the Bridge 4.12.2021 Atlas was born into a litter of nine pups to CH Winning Colors Victory Gallop “Doc” and Crimson King Lady Amelia. I thank Monica Wirick, Phyllis McDonald, and Pat Lamonica for sharing their dogs to create my Atlas – he truly was my Atlas of my World and he gave direction

to my world. He grew up to be an ambassador for all his Bullmastiff breed. I brought him home on August 30 th , 2013 at 12 weeks of age. Atlas’s training was overseen by Susan Jenkins of Papp’s Dog Services in Akron where he was introduced to a training collar and immediately threw himself on the floor and threw a fit a two-year-old would be proud of, but he understood from that day forward that if I asked him to do something he needed to do it. He would think about it first, he was never an immediate responder, but he would decide the do

what was asked. In 2016 he tested and was certified as a therapy dog with Alliance of Therapy Dogs and joined the local Caring Therapy Canines organization. Atlas loved doing therapy work – he would be lounging on the couch and I would get out his therapy collar and he would immediately go to the door and be ready to go to work. He provided therapy services at The Wayne County Library in Wooster and Rittman, Cornerstone Elementary School, Westview Nursing Home, Whit’s End Cancer Support Group and Safety Town. He also participated in many community events such as Reading Under the Lights, Relay for Life, Kid’s Day, Preschool Dog Bite Preventions, The College of Wooster and Ashland University Stress Relief Events and Camp Paradise Adult Camp visits. Atlas loved all people, but he had a special place in his heart for children and people with special needs. He will be missed by those lives he touched through his therapy work. Atlas was also voted 2018 Therapy Dog of the Year by the members of Caring Therapy

Canines and he wore is tag for that proudly. In 2019 Atlas went from 170 pounds to 129 pounds in a span of two months. We had him evaluated at Metropolitan Vet Hospital with Dr. Vanessa Dollo, an Internal Medicine Specialist and after a month we achieved a diagnosis. He was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Protein Losing Enteropathy, Lymphangiectasia, and Crypt Cell Disease. He had the cards stacked against him but through steroid treatment, B12 shots and special diet we were able to increase his weight and manage his symptoms. He was considered completely under control and we were talking about spreading out his blood tests as we had managed to get his albumin levels back in normal range and were maintaining them in that range. During the time when we were trying to do what we could to stop the weight loss I have to thank Becky Stephens for making sure he had goats milk yogurt and Claudia Kuntz for providing us with duck eggs. These two helped me put some weight on him and their generosity and encouragement were monumental to

me. Atlas’s decline began just two weeks before we lost him, and he was hospitalized for two days the week before. During his hospitalization it was determined that he had developed Lymphoma in his intestines. We made the decision to bring him home and we got two days where he was uncomfortable, but he was not in pain, so we just loved on him. The third day he woke up and showed signs of pain, so it was time to let him go. Atlas loved his vet and vet tech, and he was able to cross the bridge with Dr. Suttle and Tessa by his side in my arms. He chose how he wanted to go and made the decision to help me with my struggle. The Ark Vet Hospital staff have cared for Atlas his entire life and he loved going in and seeing them all. I appreciate their

love and support for him throughout his life. A would like to thank all the members of Caring Therapy Canines that have helped support and encourage me with Atlas over the past few years, you are all truly a wonderful group of friends

and I appreciate the love and support you gave Atlas and our family during this time. I want to thank the Wayne County Library and Cornerstone Elementary School for having programs that enrich children’s lives and provide them encouragement to read and by allowing us to use our therapy dogs to help in this process. There is nothing greater than seeing a child open to a dog and see their inhibitions melt away. And for those kids that were just emotional and needed a moment to just sit with the dog and calm down I am just so blessed to have been

able to see Atlas’s effect on those moments. And to my sister, Carla, who wrapped her arms around me and gave me strength to breath as Atlas took his final breaths. You are my greatest cheerleader and supporter. And to my husband, you are my strength every day in all situations even when we take turns being strong for each

other. And finally, I want to thank Unforgettable Tails for their gentle and caring process in helping our

Hilary Whyel - February 14, 2011 - March 22, 2021

Departed: 03/22/2021 (Wooster)

Obituary Preview: Hilary Feb. 14, 2011 - March 22, 2021

My Valentines baby, Hilary had been by my side for 10 years before she crossed over the rainbow bridge. She was my rock, best friend, companion, diary, everything you could ask for. Hilly was one of the sweetest babies, but she did know how to run the show that's for sure! Anybody you ask that knew her, knows she was the true head of the household.

We had just gotten a new puppy (Henry) a year prior, and we also had an older yellow lab (Gertie) who couldn't keep up with a new pup. So, one day, my parents and I are looking through the newspaper and we discovered basset hound puppies for sale. We weren't intending to buy one, only just going to look. When we got there, there were only two girl puppies left. The place she came from wasn't in the best conditions. Her food was thrown where she laid and went potty and only a heat lamp to keep them warm at night. My parents decided they needed to bring one home. We have always been huge dog lovers and it just killed us to see the condition these babies were in, My mom was the one who picked out Hilary. We got her for a discount (our clearance puppy). Hilly was the tiniest one from the litter and we suspected she maybe was the runt (or crawled over from the neighbors). When we brought her home, our other two babies, Henry and Gertie, thought it was Christmas morning. Henry couldn't contain himself knowing we just brought him a new friend home. Gertie, who was the matriarch at the time, just didn't know what to think but was glad Henry was off her back. As the years went on, the three of them had grown into a pack that could never be broken. Hilly looked up to Gertie as a mother figure and learned the "rules" of the house from her. Henry was more of a brother to her. They would play non-stop, be by each other's side, and become very best friends. The three of them were inseparable,

In the year 2015, we had just moved into our new house. During this time, our yellow lab, Gertie, wasn't in the best of health anymore. Gertie had always struggled with hip dysplasia since the age of 2, bad skin and bad ears. But that was the normal for her. When we moved in, within a 6 month period, Gertie had declined in health so badly, we had to make the hard decision to put her down. Hilary was devastated! Her mommy. guidance, best friend was gone. Hilly looked for her for months after she passed. But after some time, Hilly took over the role Gertie had. She became the matriarch of the family now.

In 2018, I had brought home a puppy without anybody knowing. Her name is Sheba, a saint bernard/bullmastiff mix. Henry once again thought it was Christmas morning where Hilary just didn't know what to think. Hilly thought I was replacing her which I could never do and was a little jealous at first. After some time of getting to know each other, it was a pack of three again. It wasn't the same but my Hilly was now the leader of the pack. She was the one who monitored the others, put the others in their place if need be, and didn't take anything from anybody. Hilly and Sheba had grown so close, it was like the relationship she had with Gertie but now it was Hilly's turn to teach Sheba.

February of 2021, my beautiful baby started getting sick. One thing led to another and found she had a tumor in her inner chest early March. My heart was broken into a million pieces. This was my baby for 10 years of my life. She had been through each and every one of my heartaches, achievements, troubled times, everything! She lasted 22 days and each of them days I babied her, spoiled her, and made sure she was comfortable. She went the way she wanted to go and that was in my arms, holding her closely to me as I kissed her head. She was a girl of many names as well. Her famous names were The Puff, HillBilly, Miss Hilly, Hilly Bean Dip, White Lightning, and Fishy Lips

Hilary was not only a special girl but a one of a kind girl. She would kiss me on my lips so hard, she would make my lips raw. I would lay with her every single night and hold her tight to me.I'll never find someone like her again. She will be missed so dearly especially by a special girl named Aubrie and I. You will forever be in our hearts Hilly. Until we meet again when I cross over the rainbow bridge. Love you baby girl!

Obituary Preview: Casey Brown 9/18/2004-3/17/2021 Casey was with me for 16 1/2 wonderful years!! She was the most loving companion you could ever ask for. The funny part is I did not want her. I had lost another pet in March of 2004 and swore never again. Then a friend of mine’s daughters wanted to go see some puppies their friends dog had, but their dad did not want to go. So they conned me into going so dad would take them. This adorable little brown-black and white puppy came up to me and we started playing together. I was still determined to say no, then I asked when they were born the owner said the 18th of September with that being my birthday also the deal was done! What a great decision it turned out to be!!!!!!! Casey, I will miss you so much!!!!!

Thank you for being my best friend for all these years and always being there for me no matter what. You will forever be in my Heart!

Chloe Gump - Unknown - November 24, 2020

Departed: 11/24/2020 (Wooster)

Obituary Preview: Chloe was a well-loved female Beagle that joined our family in the summer of 2009 and joined her new family 23 Nov 2020.

She completely changed my perception of a smaller sized dog with the amount of love and comfort she showed towards all humans.

I cannot think of a time that she was not willing to give up a kiss. Her favorite activities were truck rides and any type of adventure that has more smells than one nose could imagine.

I know that wherever she is, Chloe is moving forward, nose down and tail up.

Chloe is dearly missed by her family and loved ones. “You be good, Girls”
