We Remember Bandit Brown
Early 1990's ~ December 21, 2007
Early in the 1990's, I can't remember the exact date or year, my path in life crossed with a very unique being, in the southwest region of this country. "Bandit" was homeless and was being rejected by immediate neighbors in the area. I had a patio table, with chairs and cushions. This seemed to be a comfortable resting place for Bandit, of course avid meals would follow this resting area. It was soon after this, that she would place a mouse at my doorstep. We decided we should become friends. On December 21, 2007, Bandit was called to her next destination, where the word "rejection" has never been, or never will be in the vocabulary.
I will miss you.
Our thanks to Byron B. Brown for this memorial tribute.
We Remember Buddy
Buddy was loved by all, because he was so full of energy and had fun with everyone, especially the children. The smaller and younger they were, the more gentle he would be while playing with them. Although the pain of losing Buddy is almost unbearable and will eventually fade away, our love and memories of Buddy will remain forever. We will never, ever forget him.
Our thanks to Elva & Garry Berry for Buddy's Memorial Tribute
We Remember Lady Chelsea
We Remember Angel
While still a puppy, Angel had left her birthplace and had spent the next few months a short distance away in a neighbor's backyard. She was given to us when she was about 9 months old. Immediately she stole our hearts! Angel was always very independent. She had a beautiful fluffy coat and everyone wanted to pet her.
However, she did not want to be fussed over by strangers and would usually give a soft growl to show her displeasure. Angel lived to be 17 1/2 years old and was truly one of a kind - our special princess.

We Remember Holly
Holly spent the first 5 of her 17.5 years in Austin, TX. She loved the swimming pool and floating around with her sunglasses on. Holly grew up being held on her mommies left shoulder and being carried around like a white fur collar. Holly went to obedience class at the age of 6 months.
She was valedictorian of her class. Her daddy was so proud of her! She traveled everywhere her parents went that a doggie could go. She was the perfect little lady and even people who weren’t dog lovers enjoyed her.
Upon moving to the village she developed a strong bond with the neighbors and their dogs. A Doggie Time late afternoons soon developed as we went from house to house. She will be sadly missed by her mommy and daddy, Will and Deanna Anderson, the neighbors, Midge Van Sickle and “Teddy”, Donna and Bill Brown and “Girlie” and Sally and Gary Matthews and “Casper”, besides all our family members. Our good fortune was finding Dr. Bob twelve years ago. He came into his office in emergencies, made house calls, follow up phone calls and kept Holly with a wonderful quality of life. We thank you Dr. Bob for your compassion and the comfort given at this sad time.

We Remember Babes Brink
On Jan 3, 2008 Babes of Brinkvill went to a world were there is no pain. She was born on December 22, 1994 to Mar.V.Les Zeke and Edlen's Red Bay.Lees Creme. Even though she was a registered Lab, she hated the water. Babes was our good friend for 13 years and we will greatly miss her. Thank you Dr. Bob and staff for your years of good care.
We Remember Duke
Duke was named after "The Late Duke" and the apple of your eye by everyone who knew him. He was loved by all. He loved going on walks - stopping by the neighbors for a "cookie" - he was our best little buddy. If you mentioned the word "cart" (Golf Cart), he was at the shed waiting to go for a ride. If you mentioned the word "go", he was at the door, always just to be with you.
He could sing like Frank Sinatra, but was better looking! He loved chasing chipmunks and trying to catch minnows in the lake. His favorite thing was just loving us . . . and our favorite thing was loving him. He filled our lives with so much happiness and joy and even although he is gone, he will always be in our hearts.
Duke Crone ~ Age 5
We Remember Jeb
To Dr. Bob and His Caring Staff:
I am writing this letter to you with a very saddened heart. At approximately 3:30 p.m. on Friday, November 23rd, my JEB died. For the last several days his breathing became very difficult. He had not eaten anything during that period as well. He had lost 10 pounds in a very short period of time. We took him to a wonderful veterinarian down here who took some X-rays and told us that he had a very short time to live. As the prognosis was given my tears began to come. Within a very short time, a matter of minutes, he closed his eyes and took his last breath. My best friend who had been my loving companion for 13 1/2 years, was gone.
Within the last 24 hours, Rosemary and I have shed many, many tears as we come to the realization that he is not with us anymore. He won't be at the bottom of the bed in the morning, he won't by laying by me as I work, he won't be at my side when the car keys jingle, he won't be at my feet while Rosemary and I watch our favorite movie, he won't be looking at me for his special treats and water with ice in it, he won't be with me on any hunting trips, he wont' be with me on the job sites as he was for so many years. Some may think this is trivial, but to me, this was a part of my life for the past years and it will be missed. All of you who knew JEB, knew him as a friendly, loving dog who was "Just Everybody's Buddy". Tears will be with us for some time to come, but many of those will be tears of great memories with what many call "Man's Best Friend". Truly, JEB was that to me.
Paul and Rosemary Wagner in memorial tribute to JEB.
We Remember Buttons Felton
Eulogy for "Buttons" Felton
We Remember Spuds
Spuds was a much loved doggy who passed quietly across the Rainbow Bridge. She will be missed by all of us . . . but not the general fish population!
Sweetie was born on June 14, 1988. She passed away peacefully (thanks to Dr. Bob and his staff) in the arms of her mommy #2 on January 8, 2006. We had 18 1/2 wonderful years together. She brought happiness to all who knew her. We loved her dearly and she will be missed by everyone. Sweetie will be laid to rest by her mother, "Moonpie", in Grandma and Grandaddy's backyard in Mississippi.
We Remember Misty
Misty was a most exceptional Schnauzer. She gave us all her love and her instructions (which we were happy to follow!). Among her many chores, were to make sure we went walking 2 or 3 times each day. When the water glasses came out of the cupboard, it was time to go get "Dad" for dinner. She tried not to take up all of the bed at night, but preferred to be touching. Whoever sat with her on their lap, got to be waited on by the other.
We will miss her very much, but we will always cherish her memory. Thank you, Dr. Bob, for all that you did through the years for our baby. Your staff was always loving and caring.
We Remember Mr. Peaches
Here's "Mr. Peaches" when he was just a kitten in April of 1995. His mother was a stray where we lived in Tennessee. I fed her while she was pregnant and then she brought her babies to my door to be fed also. Peaches was the only golden/orange kitty in the litter and my daughters fell in love with him.
Mr. Peaches Mom was Kathleen I. Arkin
We Remember Oz Z
Ozwald Zackaria Debus was born on November 28, 1992.
"Oz Z" as he was known, passed into Heaven on July 14, 2005 peacefully in the loving arms of his Mommy & Daddy. Oz Z had grandparents who loved him dearly, and he was also loved by many other people. Oz Z had many years of happiness and he will be missed by everyone who knew him.
We Remember Boots
Boots was adopted in 1984 from an animal shelter in Key Largo, Florida, as a small kitten. He had a happy life in Key Largo until his Maw & Paw decided there were too many people in the Keys and they all moved to Hot Springs, Arkansas in 1997, so they could live on their "Seven Dear Acres" out in the country. Boots loved the outdoors and was taken on trips in a travel trailer to Alabama, Georgia, Colorado and Texas. Boots loved to travel. He also loved his friend "Lucky", the country cat. Lucky misses him very much. Everyone who met Boots loved him. He was a very low key, lovable cat and is missed dearly. He was 21 years old when he went to "Kitty Kat Heaven". Many thanks to Dr. Bob Zepecki, who kept Boots alive for such a long time. In loving memory of Boots - the Cat in the Hat.
We Remember Lady Gretal Love
We Remember Callie Fish
Callie was a female Lhasa Apso, born May 27, 1990 and, along with her brother Hobbie, was made part of our family July 20th of that same year. They were named after the cartoon characters Calvin and Hobbs. Callie had a bright and playful personality, and enjoyed entertaining all with her antics, especially rooting around in the sofa pillows, while her brother was always plotting her demise in one way or another so he could remain "top doggie". Callie had a number of medical problems, but never seemed to let them get her down. She developed a taste for wine, especially Chardonnay, and eventually had her own "wine glass" consisting of an old shot glass. Ultimately, she and her brother both developed Type 2 diabetes. About this time, we transferred their care to Dr. Bob who, along with his staff, helped us keep both dogs alive and well for many years beyond their expected life span. Callie eventually succumbed to congestive heart failure. She crossed the Rainbow Bridge on February 25th and is with her brother again. We miss them both. Callie's parents are Leward & Michelle.
We Remember Hobby Fish
Born into this world in May, 1990, "Hobby Fish" was dearly cherished by his sister Callie, and his Mom & Dad, Leward and Michelle. He always bore his maladies with such dignity and never complained. He will be missed but never forgotten.
We Remember Krystal Deutsch
Krystal was born in September of 1990. She lived an exciting life full of travel experiences and multiple woodpiles with chipmunks. Notably, she never caught one ~ at least that we know of!
She could creep like a cat, however her size always betrayed her presence. This fact did not dissuade her from trying. She left this world in the loving arms of her family. Krystal is the "poster girl" for the All Pet Center as she was one of Dr. Bob's very first patients when he originally came to Hot Springs Village.
