Lucy Taylor Wygal

Jan 02, 2009 – Aug 03, 2022

Lucy Wygal passed peacefully surrounded by those who loved her most. Lucy was the beloved companion to Matt Wygal of Winchester, Virginia. Lucy was often referred to as his shadow – being always by his side. She had a strong love of cheese, bacon, and ice cream. Additionally, you could always find her with a toy in her mouth or by her side. She loved to tear the stuffing out of any toy she could, while still respecting all of the household furniture. She adored a good rope and tug of war session.

Cuffs Robinson-Adams

Cuffs is survived by his dads, Erick Robinson and Joseph Adams; and canine siblings, Mosby and Hopper.

Blue Kyer

June 4, 2002 – July 28, 2022

Blue came into our lives through my husband, Jerry. He came home one evening with Blue and his brother and said “SURPRISE!” And it became love at first sight of those kittens. Blue loved to eat pudding, yogurt, and especially ice cream. He enjoyed his time with his daddy, just relaxing on his lap. Blue didn’t really have any tricks, except to “slap Jax”. And he may not have won any awards; however, he did win our hearts!

In October of 2003 I was thinking about finding a Dachshund pup since I had recently lost a dog.

My friend, Liz Stutz learned about a Doxi puppy that was available from a breeder in Clinton,

MD and she called me right away. This was the same breeder from whom she had obtained

her dog Truffle a little less than 2 years earlier – Bear’s biological brother. After her call, I

dropped everything and drove straight to the breeder’s home to meet baby Bear. The minute I

Heckles Flanigan

We adopted Heckles from our neighbors, who were moving across the country. He loved to sunbathe on his cat tower near the window. Heckles enjoyed playing with bendable pipe cleaners; the soft ones. He would play fetch with toy mice, like a dog. Heckles also liked being wrapped around my neck.

My favorite memories are every day when I would came home, Heckles was always there to greet me, love me, and be a bit of a comic relief. He loved to cuddle and his presence was always soothing.
