Disraeli Stewart

Disraeli, age 13, passed away on February 20, 2023. 


'Diz' as most people knew him was adopted from Free Spirit Siberian Rescue, Harvard, IL at approximately the age of 8 months. He was selected not by me but by my late dog Winston. To say those early days were crazy would be an understatement, but training and daycare harnessed the energy of this half German Shepherd half Siberian Husky and transformed him into a brilliant, stoic, independent, and very gentle soul.

Many people loved Diz. Neighbours, daycare patrons, and staff at Hillcrest Veterinary who said he was always the best patient throughout the years.

Diz was one month shy of his 14th Birthday when he crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. During the time that he was alive he attended his beloved daycare at Meyers in Belvidere the entire time; first 3 days a week and then 3 half days a week in his senior years. He attended right up until the end. He loved all his den mothers and other play mates (some who passed on before him.) They were his second family and an integral part of developing his personality.

Diz was such a beautiful gentle soul and is truly missed by many. RIP sweet boy.

Pepper: aka pepperchini, absolutely loved getting her belly rubbed on any chance she got. She loved to be held and carried anywhere and everywhere she could possibly go. She enjoyed going on walks and loved being in the car. Her favorite place to go was DQ, to get her some ice cream. She is deeply missed by us all and the house isn't the same without her here.

Our Guinea pig Juno was a little light in our lives for the 2 1/2 years she was with us. We have so many fond memories and moments with her from her evening zoomies going up, down and around her cage stopping here and there to "popcorn" in excitement... to her loud, long and seemingly endless drinks of water (always during our TV shows). She loved laying on and under her array of cozy blankets sitting on your lap on the couch and outside on the deck enjoying the fresh air and all the sounds of nature. Her blanket time always caused her to pop and roll around under the blanket and then stretch out and take her "super power pig naps". Juno was one spoiled guinea pig who loved her daily pets and especially loved her chin and cheek rubs. She returned the affections with little licks/kisses on your hand. Juno was very particular about the freshness of her daily hay and if you couldn't find her, she was burrowed under the pile of hay in her "happy place" hiding and snacking. Food was her love language, and she greeted you with all the "wheeks" upon entering the house or the kitchen. She would look over the side of her cage and if the refrigerator opened or you happened to be cutting anything you would feel her staring at you as you were expected to share with her. Juno quickly learned how to spin around and reach up on her hind legs to receive her daily treats (our little circus monkey). Although our hearts are heavy missing you and wishing we had more time with you...we find comfort in knowing we gave you the best life of loving you and you loving us right back and that we will cherish. We know you are reunited with your sisters Gigi, Delilah and Miss Piggy across the rainbow bridge. Rest easy little Juno... We will always leave a light on for you. We love you.
