Tess Thornton

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our sweet girl, Tess, who left this world on November 27, 2025, at the age of 12. Born on July 1, 2013, Tess was a loveable old soul whose thoughtful nature left an indelible mark on everyone she met.

Tess was not just any pet; she was a vibrant spirit who greeted each day with a gentle poke from her nose, always eager to get attention or anything her heart desired. Her charming antics were nothing short of delightful. With a knack for hiding her cherished bones in blankets, she showed her cleverness, ensuring that her fur sister, Storm, couldn’t find them. The bond between the two of them painted many warm and joyful moments.

Anyone who had the pleasure of knowing Tess knew her love for the simplest pleasures. She had a special love for treats and bones, and her profound appreciation for an empty bowl of ice cream was evident as she would grunt with excitement, eagerly awaiting her turn to savor every last hint of it. Many a night was spent with Tess snuggled close, sleeping next to the bed, offering warmth and comfort after a long day.

Tess's favorite pastime, however, was uniquely her own – she loved to suckle on blankets, providing a picture of pure contentment that will remain in our hearts forever. Despite her lovable demeanor, Tess had a surprisingly deep bark that could be heard echoing through the house, a reminder of her spirited personality.

Tess leaves behind her devoted parents, LeAnne and Darrell, who lavished her with love and affection, and her playful fur sister, Storm, who shared countless adventures by her side. As we remember Tess, we celebrate the joyful moments and the unconditional love she brought into our lives. Her legacy and sweet spirit will continue to live on in our hearts as a reminder of the simple joys that our beloved pets bring.

Rest in peace, sweet Tess. You will be missed dearly, but your gentle soul will forever be cherished.
