JoJo Yeager

JoJo, age 12 1/2, passed away on December 2, 2023.


JoJo was an urgent dog of Fort Worth Texas. Thankfully she was rescued, fostered and then adopted by me in June 2016.  Pilots and Paws flew her and 3 other rescues to Illinois where i picked her up. We bonded right away.

She loved hikes in the forest preserve, cheeseburgers at Beef A Roo, pup cups from Starbucks and any business that gave treats at the drive thru.

She loved riding in the car and sticking her head out the window. Thanks to her love of hiking, I made a quick recovery from a broken hip in 2021 and knee replacement in 2022. 

JoJo was 5-6 when I adopted her and then 12-13 when she crossed the rainbow bridge.  I wanted to be sure she had more good years than bad.  She was my best buddy and 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.

Thunder, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 13th, 2026. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. 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.

Dude, 14 years old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 12th, 2026. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. 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

Maya, 10.5 years old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 11th, 2026. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. She was the best big sister to Wally. She enjoyed her naps and snuggle time in the evenings with whoever would show her attention. She absolutely was the Queen of the household. She was an armchair quarterback and much preferred her brother to do all of the hard work for her. She will definitely be very much missed.
