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.

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.

Thank you  Dr. Bob and staff for your  years of good care.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My name is "Sassy". 

 

God loaned me out for a while to bring joy and happiness to others.  He has called me back,

but I hope through Dr. Bob, they can find a cure

for the encephalitis that took me.

 

Sassy was a member of the Cunningham family

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Peaches started having his tumor problems in 2003.  Several surgeries kept him going, but our move to Hot Springs Village in March of 2005 was not easy for him.

 

Dr. Bob was wonderful and did what could be done, but Peaches got weaker and I finally had to let him go on May 21, 2005.  Our Min Pin, "Lexus", and I were at his side as he left this world. We miss him terribly. I am glad I had ten years with him (Miss Lexus had 3 years of loving him), and I will have memories of him forever.

Mr. Peaches Mom was Kathleen I. Arkin

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sarah Khuen was a pleasure through thick

and thin.  Always loyal, she never complained.

Sarah was 13-years old when she left us.

She is now with Mr. Khuen.

BEAUREGARD "BEAU" WILDER

Beauregard was Joan Wilder's beloved pet for only 4 1/2 short months.  Beauregarde was rescued from the Guardian Angels in Hot Springs when he was only 14-days old and began his happy, yet medically challenged life, with his new Mommy.  Beau suffered from a birth defect affecting his ability to pass stool.  Dr. Bob attempted a medical procedure, however, it didn't cure the problem.  Even though his affliction created much care 24-hours a day, Beau still loved swimming in the area lakes!  Yep, he was a kitten that loved water!  Months of hands-on care sustained Beau until his little body finally gave out.  With a short sigh after struggling his last night, Beau whimpered a soft "goodbye" and died peacefully with his head laying in my hand.  Beau has his own Memorial Page with pictures of him swimming!

 

 

"In The Night"

 

Then in the night, while everyone else was sleeping,

I held you close and loved you through your pain and weeping.

I wanted so badly to fix all that had gone wrong,

But I knew I couldn't do that because it had been too very long.

 

My own prayers and crying were not enough to make you stay,

so in the twilight of the morn, you simply sighed and slipped away.

With my hand beneath your head as you drew your last breath,

I heard the angels come to comfort you and me through your death.

 

I tenderly lifted your little head and called your name out loud.

There was no response from you, but I sensed a peaceful shroud.

Your life of just a few short months was as exciting as it could be.

I'll never forget the joyous love that my little Beau has brought to me.

 

~  Joan Wilder, August 22, 2002
