Fritz Cabonor

Fritz, age 12, passed away on June 1, 2023.


Fritz was Jeff and Natalie’s best friend for 12 plus years. He walked us twice a day for 12 years. He was our big beautiful white German Shepherd. Fritz weighed 120 lbs. most of his life. Fritz was strong both physically and willed. Our boy was brought home by Lake Summerset security 5 times. At least a half dozen times he was brought home or secured for us by the citizens of Lake Summerset. Fritz challenged us from day one. At about 6 months he ran off one morning. Getting ready for work and having breakfast we decided not to give chase. Remember us thinking he is smart enough to find his way home. Shortly thereafter the phone rang. It was security asking if we owned a large white dog. Fritz apparently was playing with an older gentleman and his dog. No one was hurt. Fritz never hurt a human being or another dog. While he was big strong and loud he was a good soul. You could play with Fritz as rough as you wanted and he would give it right back to you. He never backed down. He also was in many ways a lap dog. Fritz loved when people petted and talked to him. It would be fair to say he enjoyed that as much as the rough stuff. Both Jeff & Natalie ended up face down on the ground more than a few times. When Fritz wanted to chase something he was very hard to stop, and chase he did. Fritz got himself skunked twice. After that he decided chasing skunks was no fun. He did chase heavy equipment, garbage trucks, and snow plows. He once chased the snow plow completely around Lake Summerset. His paw pads were worn down and bleeding. As were the nails on his feet. He also seemed fearless. One night late we were walking across Lake Summerset’s dam. Noticed a coyote at the bottom of the dam. He started up towards us. Fritz assumed his German fighting stance. The coyote decided to retreat and took off in the other direction. Fritz was a true character. He leaves us with countless memories. Needless to say he will be missed greatly.

Chaos, age 12 years old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 22nd, 2026. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. Chaos was rescued from an abandoned building and she absolutely caused chaos with our other cats and ended up taking over the ruling of the house, which is how she earned her name, Chaos. She was very protective of everyone in the household and was very bossy to anyone that showed her any attention.

Bonnie, age 13 years old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 20th, 2026. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. She was an absolute gem of a girl, she would always jump onto the bed with whoever invited her into their room for even just a minute. Any chance she got, she was in someone's bed. She loved everyone she met and absolutely loved playing fetch. She didn't care that she was a big girl, she wanted to be a lap dog with everyone she came in contact with. She will be deeply missed at home but happy to know she's running happy and free across The Rainbow Bridge.

There is so much to say about fat man Thunder, I have so many favorite memories of him. He loved to go on walks around the neighborhood, it didn't matter where we went as long as he got his walk in. He was the best cuddler, waking up with him in the morning was absolutely the best thing in the world even though he would always be on my head or hair. He loved his whip cream treats even though he always got brain freeze from eating them too fast. He was the friendliest boy you'd ever meet and was very vocal. He much preferred his string toys over the toys he had to move himself. He will be deeply missed at home and I'm glad he's having a blast running freely across The Rainbow Bridge.

I will miss the days of playing in the snow with her, the warm sunny days on our deck, and playing in the leaves in the fall. The day we brought her home to our 2 year old son who also happened to share the same birthday as him also, he was the happiest little boy ever. Dude loves his cat siblings and he always had something to say and would yell at you until things were in there rightful place, wherever it may be. He absolutely loved blueberries, apples and carrots
