‘Cooper’ Connor Howe Stutz

15 June 2004 - 3 June 2019

Cooper was born at Betty’s Mountain Views Dachshunds in Front Royal, VA. He was Sired by Betty’s Creamy Frosting and Dam by Mini Short-Bred Sandie.

The Landrio family adopted Milo from a friend’s cat’s litter. Milo loved to eat lasagna. She hung out with her family in the kitchen as meals were prepared. Milo was at their feet instantly looking up at them with her beautiful green eyes when she smelled something good. She was very clear on who she liked and didn’t like. If Milo loved you, it was a true honor.

Rudy Colgan

Rudy was born on New Year's Day, 2010, the first-born and largest of a litter of 5 pedigree Siberian Huskies at Celtic Acres in Upper Marlboro.

Rudy passed suddenly sometime early Wednesday, May 22, 2019 on his rug in the basement. He was almost 9½ years old.

His family was everything to him, although he never met a person he didn't like. No furry mammals were safe from his hunting instinct. Indoors he enjoyed catching toys, playing hide and seek, and running around like a wild beast.

I bought Joshie 3 months after my first dachshund passed away. My best friend, Vicki, bought his brother, Caleb; who is now deceased.

Manny Burchfield-Cosgrove

On December 1, 2016, Manny walked right into our lives. He had been born in September and was brought over to play with his siblings by his mother on our balcony and wanted in from that moment on.. He wasn't going to take no for an answer. When his opportunity came, Manny took full advantage of it. On the night he came, he waited by the front door and slipped in unnoticed. Manny walked around the house like he owned the place, surveying his new universe.

Lucy Burchfield-Cosgrove

Lucille Josephine Furr (Lucy Furr) jump into our lives, literally, on February 9, 2004, in Encino, CA. Lucy and her kittens were rescued from a tent on a front porch in the San Fernando Valley after being abandoned by her first owner. We had planned to adopt her son, but Lucy banged on her cage, jumped in her water bowl, and purred so loudly that when the cage door opened, she couldn't get to her daddy Kevin fast enough. She landed in his arms and didn't leave for the rest of her life.

Zeus Sperry

10/12/2011 – 4/23/2019

It was love at first site for the Sperry’s; they went with a friend to pick up their pup and just could not leave without putting a deposit down on Zeus for themselves! He enjoyed sitting and relaxing on the porch with his mom and dad. And when in the mood Zeus would do his tricks of sitting or spinning. He had such a personality; he really never considered himself as just a dog. Zeus was the boss!! He always knew if something had been moved or was new in the house and he had to approve; lol.

Roadie Head “Chump” “Bup Bup” Taylor

September 9, 2010 – April 10, 2019

Roadie entered Krystina’s life through a family friend, who raised pit bulls. She was blessed to see Roadie born. Roadie was the runt of the litter and had what looked like a lightning bolt, white mark in his fur; Krystina instantly fell in love!

Roadie liked to play fetch with his toys, swimming on the river and traveling in the car. He enjoyed rolling over and water fetch.

Chauntzie came into the lives of the Sibert family as a 6 week old puppy. He grew up loving his family; especially his mom, whose side he never left 24/7! Chauntzie liked to take long walks with mom and play in the snow. He enjoyed playing with stuffed toys; he would pull everything out of them. He was very well mannered; Chauntzie knew how to sit, give, and paw.
