In Memoriam

Jake Giardina

On Saturday, February 24, 2024, the Giardina family said goodbye to our sweet Jakey. Just shy of 17 years old, Jake was full of life and happiness. He was kind, gentle, hilarious, bossy, and never met a stranger.
There is no doubt that Jake is chasing after balls, eating all the milk bones, bossing people around with his barks, jonesing for his gabapentin and melatonin, marking his territory, begging for all the food, sending luca kisses from heaven, getting his back scratched and giving all the high fives.
9 weeks ago, Jake welcomed his first human sibling into this world. He was the best big brother and was always near to care for his brother Luca. Our hearts will never be the same and our family will remain incomplete without Jake here.
How wonderful life was when you were in our World, Jake 🤍 I bet it’s so nice up in heaven since you arrived!

Bandit & Bailee

In loving memory of our patients - the sweetest pet siblings (Bandit & Bailee) - whose bond brought warmth and joy every time they walked into our clinic. Though their paws no longer patter beside us, the love they shared—with us and with each other—remains a forever gift. Their quiet comforts and loyal companionship shaped our days in the most beautiful ways. We cherish every memory, every soft nuzzle, every cuddle for a nail trim, and every moment of laughter they gave so freely. May their spirits rest together, just as they lived: side by side, in perfect and unconditional love. Keep the lovely family in your thoughts as they go through this time of loss <3

Maverick R. West

Tuesday, March 25, 2025, the West family lost our beloved Mavy, at only 2.5 years old. Born a Pedigree Golden Retriever ('AKC Registered') in Walker, LA, Mavy was acquired by the family who took a road trip to seek him as a puppy in November of 2022. He was loyal, happy, energetic "wiggle-ly," and a very well behaved boy.

Maverick R. West enjoyed milk bones, frolicking in the back yard, playing with his many toys, parading in the house to 'show and tell' his human parents what he proudly had in his mouth, and going on walks in the neighborhood. Named after a world-famous movie character ('Top Gun 1&2'), it was fitting his best K-9 friend and long-time partner, named Penny (Benjamin) who is a kind female Hound dog.

We sure miss Mavy since he went under the "Rainbow Bridge" far too soon. Nevertheless, he made an indelible mark on our Pet and 'hooman' family and we hope his splendor continues up in Heaven.
