We Lost Our Sarge


Hello, Blogville Furiends.
We're so saddened with heavy hearts to announce that our Sarge has crossed the Rainbow Bridge.


He passed quietly in his sleep, and we are stunned.  We had no indication that he was having any health problems.  He was just a few weeks shy of 12 years old.  

He had a ginormous personality.   Full of quirks and fun and love.   He had his issues, but was the light of our lives.   We are heartbroken and shocked.   

Thank you all so much for sharing your lives with Sarge and joining him here for all of his antics.  Here are a few photos of our favorite memories.





































Much love to all.
Sarge's Staff

Oh, Lori, we are heartbroken for you. We were so happy to meet Sarge's cousin those years ago and learn he was as "crazy" as they are but in his own way. We enjoyed his posts and interviewed him for our blog - not once but twice over the years. We will miss him. Sending hugs of comfort!

Sarge will always tell the laughing joke about how Stella Rose's momma actually thought his mom was making wonderful backpacks for everyone to take to school. I always believe when we lose someone we love so much then their lessons they were sent to us have all been taught.
