Slash Johnson

Slash, age 9 months, passed away suddenly on July 3, 2023.


Being an NIU alumni, I always wanted a Husky, and last September – just when my heart needed it the most - my family brought home the most adorable, softest, perfectly marked puppy I have ever seen. Axl Rose our German Shepard was a big brother to our newest baby Slash. Unfortunately, after just nine short months our sweet baby boy’s life was cut short suddenly and tragically July 3rd, 2023. Moving to the country just over a month ago, Slash loved to run and explore. His playful personality never ceased, all he ever wanted to do was love and be loved. He never realized he had gotten a little bit too jump up into your arms. He was getting so close to howling the words “I love you”(I am certain him and BelleBelle would have had that down by his first birthday). He was finally learning that the chickens were friends, not food. He had so much life left to live, so many kisses to give, so many fields to explore, so many hours to “nuggle”.

You will always be in our hearts Slash, and missed dearly. I love you and I am so sorry this happened to you, I would do anything to rewind and save you Sweet Puppy of Mine. We promise to forever honor your playful spirit with a little more patience, a little less anxiety to get it all done today, a lot more time to stop and smell the roses.

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.
