Recess4Rover sends our deepest condolences today to Ruth and Robert Reynolds in the death of their precious pug, Lucy. Lucy was almost 18 years old, and even though she has been in a wheelchair for the last several years, feisty Lucy always was the top dog among her other siblings, Oscar and Jack. We will all miss our sweet Lucy! Run free!!

Our hearts are so sad today upon hearing of the death of our Puppy Love. She was one of our first clients here at Recess4Rover, always waiting at the front door for her walk, walking with such energy and zest for life despite her age, always happy and loving! Puppy Love was well named! We will be taking a “memorial walk” around the area she loved so much, stopping at her favorite neighbors’ homes, the creek, and at our favorite “rest spot” where she would take a water break. Walks will never be the same without Puppy Love. We will miss her so!

It is with the saddest of hearts that we announce the passing of Ringo, sweet Miniature Pinscher pup of Sabrina Keating and brother to Marley. I could write a book on this precious one. I remember the first time I met Ringo, walking with Mom and Marley at the Riverwalk. I was immediately drawn to him, as we at one time had a Min Pin, and they have always fascinated me. I don’t even think I spoke to Sabrina for a few minutes, just to her dogs, and that began our association almost two years ago. We started walking and caring for Ringo and Marley soon after, and we will be forever grateful for our friendship with this wonderful family! Ringo was the perfect gentleman- he always let Marley eat first, decide which path to take on our walks, and he always let Marley get “first loving”. Ringo was a special boy, and we already miss him so much. It was our honor to be with Ringo as he passed over The Rainbow Bridge this week. Rest well, sweet Ringo! You are so loved.
January 13, 2020. We at Recess4Rover received such sad news that our sweet Rosie died peacefully over the holidays. Rosie was such an inspiration! She was a 13-15 year old Shar-Pei mix, mostly blind and deaf. Rosie loved going on slow walks around her beautiful neighborhood. Pet parents, Mary Nelson and Mort Jordan, are champions of pet adoption, and they have loved this precious girl for all of her adopted life! Rest In Peace, Rosie! You will be missed!
Today, March 25, 2020, is a sad day as we say goodbye to sweet Max. Max and little sister, Penny, were two of our first pups at R4R, and we absolutely loved the days we got to go over and walk them. I remember Max as one of the most patient pups as he lovingly tolerated puppy Penny's fun, energetic attempts at playing with him. Max was loving, gentle, thankful, and the perfect pet! Thank you, Lauren and Will Humber, for rescuing him so many years ago, and for giving him the best life! Rest In Peace, sweet Max!
“Dogs have given us their absolute all. We are the center of their universe. We are the focus of their love and faith and trust. They serve us in return for scraps. It is without a doubt the best deal man has ever made.”
