Princess Min Balice

Princess Min, age 19 years old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on December 29th, 2025. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services.


Princess Min was a big travel companion. She was our number 1 girl, my little sweet pea and the sweetest girl I've ever known. You will be furever missed and remembered in our hearts furvever. She is absolutely irreplaceable, and no other girl will ever compare.


Princess Min was the heartbeat of this family; she brought all the warmth and all the joy along with little growls and howls to everyday life no matter where we would be she was always there. She was our little piece of heaven on earth that kept us grounded and was so full of life and had plenty of kisses and snuggles to give! She was our protector and our little funny girl. Princess Min is survived by her loving parents: Mother, Sylvia Balice and Father, Joseph Balice and her sister Shelly and her little brothers Ziff and Pepe. She was one of a kind that could never be forgotten. Our hearts are filled with love and happiness because of our memories and all of the precious years we spent with her, and our hearts will also forever be filled with sorrow until we meet again.

Min had the best smell you could imagine when she got all warm and cozy either on top of the blankets or under the blankets. Min and dad had the cutest "Hide the Bone game" as a night-time ritual, where he would play with her by hiding the bone with his hands and switching it out between hands and either hiding it on her under a blanket or behind his knee where Min had to sniff and find the bone then paw at the hand she had guessed it was in. She had a little bounce/prance to her little pitter patter when she walked or ran and of course different pitters and patters depending on her mood. She had a way she would just look at you and give you kisses letting you know that no matter what, things were going to be ok because she had your back at every turn of events that life would throw at you. When Min slept at night she would sleep by or on dad's head until he went to work then she would give cuddles to mom after he left. She loved to go bye bye and had a way of making you share the front seat in car that was her seat because she was so tiny but wasn't selfish. She loved to travel with us anywhere and stay in the booths at the craft shows and meet people that could only look at her and never touch her, because she was a diva like that, and she let everyone know it too if they got too close. She was the head of our household and would sometime let Dad think he was still the head, but we all knew who really was in charge. I loved how she has changed her look over time by starting with being our little solid black stallion then she switched to our little fawn with a white mask and then to our little black and white wolf then finally to our little gleaming bright white Angel. She was the only dog we knew that could change her colors over the years. I could never get enough of the way she would talk and howl, whether it was high pitched, very low pitched or even the attitude grrs she would give out. Min loved... Loved ...LOVED to ring her little bell around her neck, she would put her chain in her mouth and just shake her head slowly just ringing her bell till she was completely satisfied. She loved to bully the other pups by keeping them in line as well as playing with them afterwards. She was a teacher and a caretaker to all of the other fur babies in her house. She has so many more things she would do but there is not enough space on this paper to write. We all miss her dearly.

Jax loved to go on walks and car rides any chance he got. We would make Jax his own special dinners every night because he was so spoiled and loved to the fullest.

Pickle, age 3 years old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on May 28th 2026. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. Miss Mama would alwys find the most random spots to sleep in and you always had to search for her. If she chose your lap, she'd refuse to leave no matter what you tried. She also was able to sneak out and came back and gifted me 4 beautiful kittens. She absolutely loved people so much but she did not care much else for anything unless it was a toy with a feather. She will truly be missed dearly. Until we meet again at The Rainbow Bridge.
