Juice Smith

Juice, our sweet and gentle boy, passed away August 31 2025, leaving behind a quiet emptiness in our hearts and home. Though calm and often content to sit alone, he filled our lives with immeasurable love, comfort, and light.

Juice adored being babied, especially by Mom. He would flop onto his back, belly up, waiting for rubs with those tender eyes that spoke louder than words ever could. His quiet nature was marked by rare, raspy little barks, and his thunderous snores that reminded us he was always nearby.

Juice had his own little joys that made him who he was: chewing on antlers, crunching apples, and going wild for Twizzlers and fries. He loved to be outside, rolling in the grass, tilting his head when he heard the word “treat.” He never cared much for toys, except to gently hold them, drifting to sleep with them close. Though he hated his paws being touched, he gave us every other part of himself, wrapping our lives in quiet, unconditional love.

Juice was not just a pet—he was family. He carried us through moments we didn’t know how to carry ourselves. Now, the house feels emptier without his presence, but our hearts are forever marked with his paw prints.

We will love you always, Juice. Rest peacefully, sweet boy. If love could have kept you here, you would have stayed forever.
