Joey Arnquist
I saw Joey and his companion on Facebook over 11 years ago. They were in a county shelter. I called about them and asked why 2 toy poodles were there a week before Christmas. I was told their owners were going away for Christmas and they didn't want to pay to board them, so they were left at the shelter. I asked if I could foster them so they wouldn't have to be in the shelter for Christmas. A week later the shelter called and asked that I bring the silver one in as someone wanted to adopt only one dog. I said no they shouldn't be separated as they are extremely bonded. I said I will adopt both. Joey was 8 years old and Teddy was 5 years old. I changed both of their names. Two years before Joey's death, at 17 he became deaf, and then blind. I became his seeing eye mom. Joey was 66 days shy of 19 years old. Teddy was 7 days shy of his 16th birthday when Joey passed away. Being widowed and not having any children, Joey and Teddy became my fur babies. I loved and cared for them as I would have if they were human babies. My heart is broken losing Joey. Teddy is grieving as well. They also have a cat sister named Ruby who will miss him dearly.

Jax, age 11 years old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on January 22nd, 2026. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. I loved to watch Jax run laps around the yard almost habitually. I'm truly going to miss morning in bed snuggled up while I drank my coffee, us sitting together by the fire and my favorite, watching him play with other dogs. Jax really loved sitting in his chair he had outside and no matter where I went, he had to follow me. Jax hated to be alone and if he didn't have to be, he wasn't. He was such a big lover to everyone he ever came in contact with. He will be truly missed. Until we meet again on The Rainbow Bridge.
Beans, age 8 weeks old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on January 21st, 2026. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. She was the spunkiest little girl and always so happy. She was born right before thanksgiving, and I was so thankful for her. She had the loudest little bark for how tiny she really was. She is survived by her mother and father but is running happily across the flower fields at the Rainbow Bridge with her grandparents. She is very deeply missed, nonetheless.
