Sasha Mead

Sasha, our cherished rat terrier and best friend, passed away peacefully on May 2, 2025, after sixteen years of joy together. She was a beloved family member - a lover of adventure, an experienced gourmand, and an expert cuddler. Sasha was a source of constant light through every shadow, and the star in our hearts.

Born February 14, 2009, Sasha was a gentle soul, kind and compassionate to every living creature. She loved meeting them all - children, bugs, frogs, and baby birds - and was always open to making a new friend, especially the neighborhood cats.

Her love for adventure was strong, and no matter where we went, she delighted in being with her family on whatever journey they were on that day. Whether it was a trip to visit loved ones in Minnesota, a drive to the park, or a quick stroll to the kitchen - she was always by our side.

She walked beside us through forests, along rivers, under the sun and moon. She basked in the grandness of Lake Superior, and drank from wild waters whenever she could. In quiet moments, she offered comfort. In play, she sparked joy. Her heart beat in rhythm with ours.

Sasha now runs beside the constellations, her spirit a bright and eternal presence in the night sky. Her memory is woven into the fabric of our lives and etched into our hearts. Let her paws tread across Bifröst gently, where no pain follows, and love walks beside her still. May her path be soft. May her stars burn bright.

Sasha leaves behind her life-long packmate, Charlie (13), and her two feline friends, Garthox the Barbarian and Pepsi. Her absence leaves a profound silence in our home, and she is deeply missed by all.

She was - and will eternally be - the best good girl.

A cremation will take place under the direction of the LOVING COMPANION PET CREMATORY and the BOLIN-DIERKES FUNERAL HOME 1271 BLUE AVENUE, ZANESVILLE.
