Avery was given to us by Grandma & Papa who had her littermate brother Rio. We immediately fell in love with her! She looked like a small black fluffy teddy bear and had the softest fur. She became more than just a dog; she was our best friend and always made us smile with her unconditional love. Avery loved everyone she met, and everyone loved her for her gentle, kind demeanor. She loved spending time with Cambrie and going on walks and adventures with her. Cambrie taught her many tricks – her favorite one was to lay on her back and wave her front paws back and forth. This was her way of asking for more belly scratches. She loved her time with Connor; he loved petting his “little girl” and she enjoyed snuggling up and giving him kisses. Avery also had a special place in her heart for grandma and loved being held by her. She loved our backyard and always wanted to be outside. Her favorite place to sit was at the back corner of our house so she could look out and watch over everything. Avery always wanted to go for walks in the backyard and loved “going bye bye”. Her favorite toy was her yellow squeaky duck. At the end of our day, Avery was always waiting by the door so excited to greet us. She spun in circles when she was excited. Her favorite food was anything we were eating, but she especially looked forward to snack time with dad every night at 8pm. Avery loved sleeping at the end of our bed on her pillow and refused to sleep anywhere else. She was a constant companion and therapist. Always there for anyone who needed support and comfort. Avery was a true fighter – she had a couple of remarkable recoveries from illnesses. She fought to stay with us as long as possible, but it was time to end her suffering and give her peace. We will miss her tremendously, but she has left us with so many wonderful memories.

You were our favorite hello and our hardest goodbye!
Rest in peace our sweet girl. Enjoy running and playing in heaven with your brother. We will never forget you and will always miss you. Thank you for 12 wonderful years of devoted love, companionship and affection. You are forever in our hearts!
