Faithful Friends, 2026

"2025 proved to be a difficult year as we said goodbye to both our dogs. We are so grateful to Dr. Liskey for her exceptional care of both our pets and our family. We are forever thankful.
Buddy was our 10 year old Newfoundland who never met a person he didn't immediately love (including Dr.Liskey). He was definitely our heart dog. His presence, joy, hair, and drool were all part of his charm. Even 2 months after we lost him, we feel his absence every day. We were so lucky to have him in our lives and know that we have years of wonderful memories to remember him by."

"Daiquiri was the best dog a family could ever ask for. For 10½ beautiful years, she adapted to everything life threw at our family, steady and loving through it all. She loved swimming in the Chesapeake, sunbathing in the yard, and soaking up constant snuggles from her favorite people.
She welcomed three babies into our home and stood faithfully by their sides as they grew. Our hearts are so broken with the loss of our sweet girl. We brought her home when she was just weeks old, full of energy and curiosity. From the very beginning, she filled our lives with joy. She was always waiting eagerly for her people to come home, ready to shower us with tail wags and unconditional love.
I will miss her diligent “neighborhood watch” shifts, nose prints on the glass, those full-body tail-wag greetings, and her unwavering commitment to collecting the cheese tax.
I loved Daiquiri her entire life, and I will spend the rest of mine missing her."

"Kaliyah was the sweet girl who always waited her turn to be loved. She had the kindest eyes. As a puppy, she was an excellent escape artist. As she got older, she preferred a cozy spot next to her sister and the occasional wrestle with the annoying puppy we brought home a couple of years ago.
For 14 years, she loved her family fiercely, and her family loved her right back. Rest easy, Kaliyah. We love you."

"Ozzy was one of the sweetest boys you'd ever meet. Rescued from a puppy mill in bad condition, he grew in strength and health with the love of our family. He loved the water, (keeping him out of the lake was hard), hiking, riding in the car, playing with his friends, treats and being petted. He was a greatly loved member of our family who will be so missed, but we believe in crossing the rainbow bridge he's met up with his best friend Murphy."

"I had never owned a Great Dane before Hazel. Such a beautiful, loyal most loving companion breed I have owned. It has been a month and I still struggle with missing her. My heart still hurts. I will miss our walks in the parks and on the Appalachian Trail, rides in the jeep with the top down and ears flapping and the many MANY quiet times we just sat quietly together."

"13 years on this earth and 11 with us wasn’t long enough. Jango wasn’t just a dog. He was a best friend, a companion, the one who got us through our 20s. He was our constant staple and was with us through every major life event. The Marine Corps, moving into our home, getting married, getting a new dog, and bringing home our baby boy. Our hearts have a hole and our home is a little more quiet without the pitter patter of his nails walking across the floor, but we have peace knowing he is healed and happy again. He gave us the best 11 years and we hope he knew how much he was loved. We will miss you so much <3"

"Cheech, beloved 10-year-old pit bull, crossed the rainbow bridge on February 2, 2026, surrounded by love.
Cheech was rescued and given a beautiful life by Brynn, Mike, and Zach, who saw in him what everyone who met him quickly learned—he was a truly sweet soul. From the moment he became part of their family, Cheech repaid that love every day with loyalty, gentleness, and an endless capacity for affection.
He was a good boy in every sense of the word. Cheech never met a treat he didn’t love, and his absolute favorite pastime was chewing on and proudly carrying around tennis balls. Those tennis balls brought him pure joy, and watching him play was one of life’s simple, perfect moments.
Cheech is survived by his pit bull sister, Nala. Their bond was special, and his presence will always be felt beside her.
Though saying goodbye was heartbreakingly, Cheech’s life was full of love, and happiness—exactly what every rescue dog deserves. He leaves behind paw prints on the hearts of those who loved him and memories that will be cherished forever.
Run free, sweet Cheech. May there be endless treats, soft places to rest, and all the tennis balls your heart could ever want. You were deeply loved, and you will never be forgotten."

"Almost 12 years was never going to be enough.
Echo wasn’t “just a dog” — she was family in every sense of the word. She was there for the ordinary days and the hard ones, the celebrations and the quiet moments in between. She knew our routines, our moods, and somehow always knew exactly when we needed her most even though I needed her more than she realized.
Echo gave us a love that asked for nothing in return — loyal, steady, and pure. Her presence filled our home with comfort and warmth, and her absence leaves a space that can never truly be filled. She taught us patience, unconditional love, and how deeply an animal can imprint on your heart.
She grew with us, aged with us, and stood by us faithfully through every season of life. The years may have changed her pace, but never her devotion. To the very end, she was ours — gentle, loving, and deeply connected to our family. Cancer took her away from us, but she will forever live in our hearts.
Our hearts are shattered, but we are forever grateful for the time we had. We will carry her with us in memories, in habits we don’t even realize yet, and in the love she helped shape in our home.
Run free, sweet Echo.
You were so very loved — and you always will be. We miss you terribly."
