Joey Arnquist

I saw Joey and his companion on Facebook over 11 years ago. They were in a county shelter. I called about them and asked why 2 toy poodles were there a week before Christmas. I was told their owners were going away for Christmas and they didn't want to pay to board them, so they were left at the shelter. I asked if I could foster them so they wouldn't have to be in the shelter for Christmas. A week later the shelter called and asked that I bring the silver one in as someone wanted to adopt only one dog. I said no they shouldn't be separated as they are extremely bonded. I said I will adopt both. Joey was 8 years old and Teddy was 5 years old. I changed both of their names. Two years before Joey's death, at 17 he became deaf, and then blind. I became his seeing eye mom. Joey was 66 days shy of 19 years old. Teddy was 7 days shy of his 16th birthday when Joey passed away. Being widowed and not having any children, Joey and Teddy became my fur babies. I loved and cared for them as I would have if they were human babies. My heart is broken losing Joey. Teddy is grieving as well. They also have a cat sister named Ruby who will miss him dearly.

Rose, age 8 years old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on November 4th, 2025. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. There is so much to say about Rose, my P.H.A.T girl. To say she was my best friend would feel unjust and overall downplayed. To say she was family, gives a well-deserved moniker by design. My Rose was so much more than that, she was my late night, confident, listening intently, and without judgement, held every secret and sadness close to her heart. She had many wonderful traits, and she will be deeply missed terribly. Until we meet again on the Rainbow Bridge.
