A little about Leroy, Addie-Jo, Ryder, and Ellie
Leroy was only 6 months old when Ben took him home, he spent the first few years of his life in Colorado then began traveling the country. He loved going to the new places and meeting new people, but he fell in love with North Carolina, it was the perfect amount of sun and the temperature was great for laying in the yard all the time. He never met a stranger and loved every minute he got to spend with his hoomans. Though he's no longer with us, his spirit and influence is felt all around us, he is missed every day but we'll always remember his smiling face and happy attitude
​
Addie-Jo came from a very loving place in Northern North Carolina, she was the smallest of her brothers and sisters but that didn't stop her from having the biggest personality. She immediately found her purpose in life as Sam's guardian, she loved him to the moon and back and he loved her. Even though she's gone, Sam and Leroy still ask about her all the time, keeping her memory alive. She will forever live in our hearts.
​
Ryder came home on October 18th at only 12 weeks old and within 2 days he was already feeling at home. Leroy instantly started showing him the ropes and they became the best of friends. Ryder is already getting used to his home away from home at the Wobbly Butt Tap Room and the staff absolutely adore him and his big floppy ears.
​
Ellie is the newest member to the Wobbly Butt Family. She came home in May of 2025 and is the perfect addition to our family. After losing Leroy, Ryder was in need of a buddy that can match his energy and attitude, that's where Ellie is the perfect match. She has so much personality and isn't afraid to show, she won't stop giving kisses until you put her in air jail, then she just wags her little tail until you feel bad and let her start the process all over again. Now that she's getting older, you'll probably catch her chasing Sammy around the Wobbly Butt, don't hesitate to give her some scratches behind the ears and a few good belly rubs!
Remembering Our Leroy
In Loving Memory of Leroy
​​
Today, the world feels a little heavier, and the sun shines a little less brightly. After 16 years of love, loyalty, and unwavering friendship, our sweet Leroy has crossed the rainbow bridge.
​
Leroy wasn't just a dog. He was our best friend, our protector, and the quiet guardian who always knew what we needed — even before we did. He watched over us through every chapter of life: the highs, the lows, the laughter, and the tears. He stood by our side with patience and wisdom, with eyes that spoke more than words ever could.
​
He was the first to know that Sam was on the way. Long before we did, Leroy knew. He watched over our growing family, and when Sam arrived, Leroy became his silent and steadfast protector, just as he had been for us all those years.
Sixteen years — a lifetime of memories. Morning cuddles, late-night comforts, sun-soaked afternoons, and quiet moments when it felt like Leroy could read our hearts. He gave us his whole world, and in return, we gave him ours.
​
Though his paws no longer follow us from room to room, his presence will never leave. He lives on in the soft breeze, in the warmth of the sun, in the quiet corners where he used to curl up. He lives on in every story we will tell about him and in every heartbeat that loved him.
​
Leroy, thank you for everything. For loving us so deeply, for protecting us so fiercely, and for making our family whole. We will carry you with us forever.
We love you, Bubbers.
​
There's no such thing as goodbye, only see you later.
