Gizmo Bear Stovall

Rottweiler Mastiff mix

 

Born Approximately May 16th, 2009. Previous name was Boe. Survived by human parents Brent and Merritta Stovall, human brother Joseph Stovall (Jen Brenner), and human sister Brennitta Stovall (Ken Fry). Human niece MaKayla Vaughn, and human nephews Jeremiah and Elijah Vaughn, as well as his doggy brother Shadow.

He was found on Craigs list. We picked him up from his previous owners on July 25,2009, and it was love at first sight! He stole our hearts immediately. He was many times more worth the money we spent on him. He was the easiest dog his mommy ever trained. He loved to play frizzbee and soccer in the back yard! He was a very agile dog too. He loved to jump fences and run after people and make them get on the top of our car. No one was ever hurt though. The fence we had was only 4 Ft. tall and he could jump that with ease. So, we put up a 6 ft fence, and guess what, he could still jump over that one too! We watched him a few times to see how he did it, and to our amazement he was using the cross boards on the fence to boost himself over. Our next move was to double side the fence, and finally we were able to keep him in his yard.

He also had a softer side to him, he loved to cuddle with us when no one else was around. He would follow Mommy everywhere around the house when she was cleaning. He didn't want to leave Mommy's side. Sometimes he got a little grumpy, but he was the sweetest dog ever, he just liked his peace and quiet without a lot of motion going on!

He loved to go on long walks with his brother on the hiking trails and swim in the river. He also like to go visit his brother in his room in the basement and lay on his bed. 

His sister would watch him and his doggy brother when mom and dad would go on short trips. Sometimes mommy felt like he liked his sister's boyfriend better than her. The two were very close buddies!

He was also like a babysitter to his niece and nephews. Every time they were getting a little rough or doing something they shouldn't he would bark at them. Like he was telling them to stop! Even when the adults would try to exercise, he would start barking, like he wanted us to stop because he thought we were going to hurt ourselves. He was just a very special and unique dog!

He will definitely be missed by all of his family. We love you so much Gizmo!

Shadow Cortright

October 20, 2026
Shadow, age 14 years old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on October 19th 2026. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. Every day when I would come home, Shadow would meet me at the door. When I lived in Chicago and he was a kitten we would be up playing until 2/3 am. He was literally my shadow, he would wait for me outside the shower, sleep in bed with me every night, and I would lay there petting him until we fell asleep. Shadow was a one-person cat, very attached and protective of his mama. He had his eyes on her at all times and followed her room to room. Shadow was very proud and very gentleman-like. He constantly wanted to play even in his old age, until he got sick. His favorite treat was canned tuna and chicken.

Cooper White

Cooper, also known as Coopie, age 5.5 years old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on September 15th 2026. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. Cooper was an incredibly loving dog, he had a way of expressing love, in a way, no words could truly comprehend. Through thick and thin, he had a way of seeing the best in everyone around him, and returning it twice over. He had one floppy ear that would never quite sit right, he would always sleep in bed as if he were a little person. I will never know the kindness in a dog again like the kindness Cooper held for all the ones he loved. I will forever miss him, until we meet again at The Rainbow Bridge.

Lola's favorite activity was to play with her stuffed monkeys. We used to joke that Lola was our daughter's "nanny" because she would sleep next to her and come get us every time she woke up. Lola would give the best hugs. She would wrap her paws around you and put her head on your shoulder. She also loved kittens and would light up whenever she heard or seen one. She was loved tremendously and she loved us fiercely.

Thinking back to little memories of Belle one of her most favorite things to do was ride on the golf cart, especially with Pops. Belle was a mom- she had a litter of puppies in 2019. She loved to be outside and to go for car rides. Belle had the sweetest personality and was also a very laid-back dog. She always knew when someone needed to be loved! Belle will be missed by her mom, dad, her brother Winston, and her sisters Bailey and Willow.
