Pascal Howard

Pascal was born October 18, 2008, in Charlotte, NC. He passed away January 18, 2024.

Pascal, also known as “Poodie,” or “PP” loved to travel, especially to visit his Grandma and Grandpa and all of his special friends in NC and VA. He loved sitting on the beach and getting lots of attention from anyone who passed by. He loved to go on long walks and as he got older, he still took those walks, but in a stroller.  He also liked to go shopping and get dressed up in his many sweaters and t-shirts.  Pascal was also not shy at the groomer and experimented with different hair styles and colors over his years. 

When Pascal was very young, he had his favorite teddy bear and penguin pajamas. He loved his faux rawhide chews and the special toys that were in his Christmas stocking. While not technically toys, he loved to hunt for and play with frogs when exploring outside.  

Pascal always slept on the pillow next to mom or at the corner of her bed at night. He took naps and watched tv and the neighbors from the back of the sofa. When he did this, he always had to have a paw touching his mom if she was there.

He loved salmon, sweet potatoes, and green beans. He loved eating pancakes at his Grammy’s and also liked to eat popcorn out of your bowl while watching tv.  

Pascal has been the most consistent relationship of his mom’s adult life.  Her most beloved confidante, best friend, and child for the last 15 years. He has comforted her tearful face through numerous life transitions, houses, and a few makeshift families, but it’s always really been the two of them. He sat by her feet when she played piano, at the table with her brother eating the carrots from his meals on wheels, and by the computer assisting with teaching online.  He had been in failing health for the last few years and despite it all he remained her steadfast companion, always offering his kind eyes and tail wag when she needed it.  He leaves behind a very quiet house for his Mom, Wendy.  Grandpa Jerry, Tia, Enid and Grammy Miriam, Auntie Kendra and his fur friend Zoey will miss him very much. His brother Beau is already missing him immensely and looking for him everywhere.

Left to cherish his memory is his mom, Wendy; and fur-siblings, Poppy and Beau. His brother Camille meets him at the Rainbow Bridge.
