Penny Degenhardt

2013-January 27th 2023


Penny was found when she was somewhere between 6 to 8 weeks old, cold, sick, and covered in fleas, beside the road. She had a fun sweet personality from the start. Never held a grudge about her rough start in life but truly appreciated her home and family so very much. Her best friend was her beloved Leonard, who had an equally hard start in life. Together they terrorized our home with their big personalities and need for speed. They were 100 mph from morning till night. Penny was my husband's sidekick on projects in the yard and garage. She designated herself the protector of the chickens and hater of all German Shepherds as they upset her chickens. She rid all of Winnebago county of moles and entertained the local field mice, keeping them well fed with the dry cat food she hated and refused to eat. She always greeted us at the door with her quiet little meow and a big stretch up our legs. Her quiet presence has left a big void in our home and she will be greatly missed.

Pepper, age 7 years old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on August 26th, 2025. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. 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.
