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!

Buddy, age 7 years old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on February 6th, 2026. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. Buddy left us on February 6th to be reunited with his Momma Zoey. He was an absolute joy to have in our life every day. He was able to feel all of our human emotions and was always there at the right time to help you through it and bring your spirits back up. He had the best Elvis lip, loved to play ball for hours, loved watching tv, especially Yellowstone and of course The Dog Club Show! He absolutely loved going for walks and car rides any chance he got. He will truly be missed deeply. Until we meet again at The Rainbow Bridge.

Delilah, age 12 years old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on February 6th, 2026. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. She loved people, playing with the kids and chasing the ball around the yard. She also loved playing with her fur siblings and cuddling on the couch with anyone willing. Being outside and in the sun was her favorite thing to do. There's no way to sum up 12 years of life in just a few paragraphs. There is so much to say about Delilah and her bond with Zeus that she developed. We brought her home at 8 weeks old with her litter mate/partner in crime; Zeus. Watching them live life together melted my heart and every fiber in my body. Now they're reunited again and chasing each other endlessly at The Rainbow Bridge together. They used to sleep together like a couple of cats. They both loved being in the back yard and chasing the kids around or playing tug of war with them. Beanie (Delilah) loved laying in our laps eve at 50lb like she was a little puppy again. She would hang out in the yard on the beautiful days for hours on end, it was always a struggle getting her to come inside. If you had a ball, you instantly became her best friend, although she never was any good about bringing the ball back, but she'd definitely run around with it in her mouth. People are always quick to judge Pit Bulls, but Beanie was the most loyal and loving dog anyone could have ever hoped to own. She will truly be missed deeply at home and we will meet again at The Rainbow Bridge one day.

Myrrh, age 14 years old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on January 30th, 2026. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. Myrrh loved the massage gun and was a great mouser even though she was declawed in the front. She got pushed one time when she decided to play with Morgan and she was very sassy and only wanted attention and love on her terms, nobody else's. She will be deeply missed, and we will meet again at The Rainbow Bridge.
