Payton - October, 2022 - February, 2024
"Payton was the light in our lives we didn’t know was missing. She was the sweetest, goofiest dog and will forever be missed. Although we only got 6 months with her she brought us a lifetime of memories and laughter. We cannot thank the Dr. Jill and the staff at Tillie Lake enough for all they have done for us and making this hard time a little easier. She was our favorite hello and by far the hardest goodbye. We love you forever sweet girl."

Bella - April, 2010 - July, 2023
"Bella was a Border Collie & Australian Shepherd mix; and she brought so much energy, fun and peace to our family over the 14 years. Her loves were long walks, tug of war with toys, fetching a ball, treats, and laying on the front lawn - where she would go to greet anyone walking that even looked her way…..making her a neighborhood favorite. This one’s going to sting for a while. But we would like to thank Dr. Jen and the staff at Tillie Lake for everything that you’ve done for Bella and us - to make her comfortable leading up to her passing; and helping us make the right decisions for her care. Had the circumstances allowed us to, we would have loved for all of you to say goodbye; and for you to send her ‘home’. But Bella wanted a quicker walk ‘home’ on Monday; and we graciously obliged. Thanks again for all that you did for Bella and us! "

Booboo - July, 2007 - March, 2022
"Our Booboo was one of a kind with her beautiful green eyes and shiny black coat. We called her our Halloween kitty. We rescued her and her brother Yogi over 14 years ago as kittens. She joined right in with the rest of our pets and became best friends with our dog Marley. When Marley crossed the rainbow bridge two years ago she was very lost without her because they did everything together from sleeping to playing. It was a very unique relationship that people did not believe until they saw it with their own eyes. She will deeply be missed by us along with her three sibling kitties. She has now crossed the rainbow bridge and joined up again with our other pets. Miss Boo kitty we will meet up again."

Morgan - February, 2005 - November, 2020
"Morgan adopted me when he was 9 months old. It was a warm November day when he sat on the bench watching me rake the leaves. The first day he only watched me, but on the second day, he walked in circles around my feet, purring all the time. I took him in and for the next 15 years, this black and white tuxedo cat taught me about unconditional love. Every night, Morgan and our dog, George would come into my bedroom. Morgan would wait until George fell asleep and then he would come to me for kisses on the top of his head. When he had enough, he would lay at my feet flicking his tail in contentment. He often purred until I fell asleep, then he would move to the great room and sleep on top of the couch. Morgan you are sadly missed each and every day. I pray you are running freely and are able to chase the birds that you always looked at out of the window".

Jazzie (TLVC's Clinic Cat) - August, 2003 - May, 2021
It is with a heavy heart that we bring you the news that our sweet clinic cat, Jazzie, has recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
Jazzie had been a member of the Tillie Lake family for nearly 18 years.
Many of you personally know her, as one of her favorite things was to saunter along the front counter and greet clients at the front desk.
She also enjoyed snoozing on the warm tops of the computer towers, and begging for food (that she rarely ate once offered).
Jazzie essentially acted as the clinic mascot, and became synonymous with our clinic.
We all joked that she was the real boss around here, and kept a watchful eye over all of us to keep everyone in line.
Over the last year or so, Jazzie began to slow. She also developed some long term health issues that we had been managing with various medications and therapies, but they began to take a toll on our sweet girl.
Unfortunately we recently had to make that difficult decision that we have helped so many of you make for your own beloved pets.
It was not something we took lightly, but we knew this would ultimately be the best decision for our pretty lady. A decision we made as both her medical team, and her family.
Though we will miss her terribly, we find comfort in knowing that she is no longer in pain, as she runs free on the other side of the rainbow.
We love you, sweet girl.
