Bolt Brown

August 3, 2010 – May 23, 2025

It’s with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved forever “Puppers”, Bolt. Just under 2

pounds when you blessed us being your family, it was love at first sight. Throughout the past 15 years

you brought us much joy and a never-ending stream of unconditional love! We are ever grateful to be

your parents and have you Bless our lives. You were a perfect in every way and the most perfect fit for

our family. We will miss our nightly treat games and bedtime kisses and snuggles.

When we were sad, you brought us joy. When we were sick, you helped us to feel that much better.

When I was lost…you saved me. When we were happy, it was because of you!

Although you are no longer by our side you will be forever in our hearts. You filled a void in our hearts…

but your passing has created a new one.

Memories

By Virginia Ellis

Oh, little friend, do you recall,

When you made this house your home?

You were just a ball of fluff,

Not even halfway grown.

You stumbled when you learned to walk,

It was hard to steer four legs;

You learned to sit, and stay, and come,

And, of course, you learned to beg.

You loved those walks we used to take,

You never left my side;

And if I got my car keys out,

You were ready for a ride.

You sensed when I was happy,

Or was feeling kind of low;

You’d jump up against my knee,

You always seemed to know.

You’d fetch a stick or get a toy,

Without even being told;

But, was your face crestfallen,

If I felt the need to scold.

You found the outside world exciting,

Do you remember your first snow?

Refusing to go out to pee…

Going to the vets for shots,

I guess was your greatest fear;

You seemed to know each scheduled date,

Though you went but once a year.

You were afraid of lightening, too,

And of booming thunderstorms;

You’d run and jump upon my bed,

Where it was safe and warm.

I never once felt lonely,

As long as you were here;

You were at my feet or on my lap,

You constantly were near.

Oh, I am going to miss you,

No question about that;

But, little one, for your pain to go,

I had to send you back.

You’re going back to heaven now,

From whence long ago you came;

You’ll be welcomed back by God, Himself,

Who knows your doggy-name.

I think there’s Spidey toys up in heaven,

And fluffy, squeaky toys;

And angels who will play with you,

and Nana waiting for her Boy!

But, there won’t be any thunderstorms,

And no vets with shots up there;

You won’t even need a leash,

You’ll run freely in God’s air.

And when my time on earth is done,

And at heaven’s gate I’m near,

I don’t want any harps or horns,

Just … happy barks to hear.

So, see you later, little friend,

I’m glad you’re now pain-free;

And I’m glad you’re sitting next to Jesus,

Now … you wait right there for me.
