Franny

2013 – 2026

My beloved sweet Franny, you have always been a part of me, even before we met 8 years ago. We had a connection that I felt in my heart and soul from the time I met you at Homeward Pets in 2018. You were 4 years old at the time and afraid of everything, except me. We bonded quickly and you came out of your shell little by little, gaining confidence and finally allowing the world to see your sweet, funny, quirky personality. We had so many great adventures together that I'm pretty sure were firsts for you - hiking, paddle boarding, swimming, outdoor music, markets, and traveling the country. Your favorite times though were being in our house together, and being in the backyard together. You watched every move I made, and I would catch your warm brown eyes on me as I worked in the kitchen. It was never about the food I was preparing for myself or you though, it was to know I was there. I miss having you in the house here with me - following me from room to room, sitting in your bed at my feet while I sat at my desk, sitting next to me in your favorite chair, and laying next to me on the couch. I still can't quite believe you're gone. I feel your presence so strongly. I love you Franny, and always will. Love, Your Mommy Lori xoxo

Remembrances

Leaving a personal story, memory, or words of support for a pet’s family is a heartfelt way to pay tribute and provide comfort. As part of your remembrance, we also invite you to leave a virtual token along with your words — similar to our tradition here at the Sanctuary of leaving stones, beloved items, or small toys on the graves of cherished animals.
Run free and rainbows forever, Franny! You will be missed.
