Slash Johnson

Slash, age 9 months, passed away suddenly on July 3, 2023.


Being an NIU alumni, I always wanted a Husky, and last September – just when my heart needed it the most - my family brought home the most adorable, softest, perfectly marked puppy I have ever seen. Axl Rose our German Shepard was a big brother to our newest baby Slash. Unfortunately, after just nine short months our sweet baby boy’s life was cut short suddenly and tragically July 3rd, 2023. Moving to the country just over a month ago, Slash loved to run and explore. His playful personality never ceased, all he ever wanted to do was love and be loved. He never realized he had gotten a little bit too jump up into your arms. He was getting so close to howling the words “I love you”(I am certain him and BelleBelle would have had that down by his first birthday). He was finally learning that the chickens were friends, not food. He had so much life left to live, so many kisses to give, so many fields to explore, so many hours to “nuggle”.

You will always be in our hearts Slash, and missed dearly. I love you and I am so sorry this happened to you, I would do anything to rewind and save you Sweet Puppy of Mine. We promise to forever honor your playful spirit with a little more patience, a little less anxiety to get it all done today, a lot more time to stop and smell the roses.

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.
