Cisco Cook

Cisco, age 14, passed away August 9, 2023.


Today we had to say goodbye to our handsome, grumpy old man, Cisco. Cisco joined the Cook family as a kitten in April 2009 - being rescued from a cat hoarding situation. Cisco was one of two kittens brought home that day. His brother, Diego, has predeceased Cisco. 

Cisco earned his name from being an explorer at a young age (San FranCISCO). He loved to play with toys as a kitten and enjoyed catching mice and the occasional rabbit and bird as he grew bigger. Cisco enjoyed exploring the woods, making his debut on trail cameras to let us know he was still enjoying the great outdoors. Cisco could also be found cuddling on the back porch with his best dog friend, Sammy, popping up in the kitchen window to tell us he wanted attention (or a shortcut through the house to the garage), and reminding us he could see a small "hole" in his food dish and needed more. 

Cisco may have been semi-feral, but he enjoyed the occasional pet (letting us know by his purring and drooling) and was a Momma's boy and protector, as he would wait for her to come home from work and escort her from the car to the house. 

We will miss you, Cisco, but we are happy that you are reunited with your cuddle buddy.

Jax, age 11 years old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on January 22nd, 2026. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. I loved to watch Jax run laps around the yard almost habitually. I'm truly going to miss morning in bed snuggled up while I drank my coffee, us sitting together by the fire and my favorite, watching him play with other dogs. Jax really loved sitting in his chair he had outside and no matter where I went, he had to follow me. Jax hated to be alone and if he didn't have to be, he wasn't. He was such a big lover to everyone he ever came in contact with. He will be truly missed. Until we meet again on The Rainbow Bridge.

Beans, age 8 weeks old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on January 21st, 2026. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. She was the spunkiest little girl and always so happy. She was born right before thanksgiving, and I was so thankful for her. She had the loudest little bark for how tiny she really was. She is survived by her mother and father but is running happily across the flower fields at the Rainbow Bridge with her grandparents. She is very deeply missed, nonetheless.
