Mabel Lou Barnas

Mabel Lou 

2013-2025

 

Mabel Lou Barnas crossed the Rainbow Bridge on her 12th birthday, April 24,2025.  She was surrounded by her loving humans in her home after a short battle with lymphoma. 

 

Mabel made her way to Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary in Rockford, IL when a truck driver found her on the side of a farm road in Oklahoma.  She was adopted by her family August 31, 2013 and has been the best girl ever since, although she did earn the nickname Mabel Lucifer in her younger years for getting into typical beagle mischief.  In later years she was often called Mabel Lou Who or Sweet Mabes. 

 

Mabel was an unusual beagle as she barely ever made any noise aside from grunting like a gremlin while playing.  On rare occasion she would bey like beagles do, but it was uncommon for her.  She would quietly sit outside and watch all the animals passing through the backyard planning her hunting attack, but hardly ever caught any of the small backyard animals. 

 

Mabel loved car rides and was often called “our little navigator” because she liked to sit up front and watch the road on car trips.   Hiking and camping were her favorites - her little hound nose went wild taking in all the smells.  And anything that she could be a part of with her family made her happy. She was the sweetest girl and loved everyone she ever met. 

 

Mabel is survived by her human parents, Sabrina and Eddie, and her human siblings, Madie and Arlo.  She is now running through heaven with her dog siblings, Dixie and Anders that crossed the Rainbow Bridge before her. 

 

We will miss you forever and ever our sweet little brown eyed baby girl.

Pepper: aka pepperchini, absolutely loved getting her belly rubbed on any chance she got. She loved to be held and carried anywhere and everywhere she could possibly go. She enjoyed going on walks and loved being in the car. Her favorite place to go was DQ, to get her some ice cream. She is deeply missed by us all and the house isn't the same without her here.

Our Guinea pig Juno was a little light in our lives for the 2 1/2 years she was with us. We have so many fond memories and moments with her from her evening zoomies going up, down and around her cage stopping here and there to "popcorn" in excitement... to her loud, long and seemingly endless drinks of water (always during our TV shows). She loved laying on and under her array of cozy blankets sitting on your lap on the couch and outside on the deck enjoying the fresh air and all the sounds of nature. Her blanket time always caused her to pop and roll around under the blanket and then stretch out and take her "super power pig naps". Juno was one spoiled guinea pig who loved her daily pets and especially loved her chin and cheek rubs. She returned the affections with little licks/kisses on your hand. Juno was very particular about the freshness of her daily hay and if you couldn't find her, she was burrowed under the pile of hay in her "happy place" hiding and snacking. Food was her love language, and she greeted you with all the "wheeks" upon entering the house or the kitchen. She would look over the side of her cage and if the refrigerator opened or you happened to be cutting anything you would feel her staring at you as you were expected to share with her. Juno quickly learned how to spin around and reach up on her hind legs to receive her daily treats (our little circus monkey). Although our hearts are heavy missing you and wishing we had more time with you...we find comfort in knowing we gave you the best life of loving you and you loving us right back and that we will cherish. We know you are reunited with your sisters Gigi, Delilah and Miss Piggy across the rainbow bridge. Rest easy little Juno... We will always leave a light on for you. We love you.
