Ezmae and Deja
Hi friend! My name is Ezmae. I am the lab laying in the grass. I have been a Comfort Dog and Greeter at Croxfords since I was a puppy in January of 2018. I feel like I was born for this job because I love meeting new people and helping them feel at ease during a difficult time. On any given day you can find me lying in the foyer and gazing out the door, just waiting for a friend in need, or perhaps even the UPS delivery crew who often sneaks me a treat. I love playing fetch with a disc and running with my little sister, Deja.
Hello, I am Deja. I am the lab standing behind Ezmae. I joined the Kent family in May of 2022 when I was one year old. They found me in a bad situation and welcomed me into their lives with open arms. I spent a few years at home with my oldest sister Harper, and she helped to show me the ropes of good behavior. I have been working toward being a trusted Greeter and Comfort Dog at Croxfords since Harper’s passing in November of 2024. I love scratches and belly rubs. When I’m not at work I want to play, play, play. I always have a sock in my mouth, which is why my family never has matching socks!
"In Loving Memory of Harper"
Harper
Harper Face, known lovingly by many different names, such as Harper Cottages, Dolphin Jabber, and Thatched Roof, passed away in November of 2024. She was 15 years old.
Harper was gifted to Maggie as a six-week-old puppy in 2009 in New Braunfels, TX. The two went everywhere together and shared countless joyful moments through their shared love of the outdoors. Harper was a constant companion in hiking, swimming and exploring the mountains of Montana and Wyoming.
When Maggie and Harper first met Drew in 2011, they both fell in love with him and the sport of disc golf. As Drew and Maggie worked toward growing the sport in Great Falls, Harper easily and naturally became the local mascot for the disc golf club. Harper earned herself a reputation for rescuing discs from unreachable places: she would sneak under a fence to retrieve a wayward disc, or dive to the bottom of the Missouri River to dig It out of the riverbed. Harper always had her own disc and was well aware that when retrieving a disc for another player, it was not Hers’ to chew. In fact, she never chewed discs. She was a rare type of lab, one born without the urge to chew! She was a free dog – in fact she refused to be leashed. If you leashed Harper, she would simply sit and not move. Harper clearly considered the disc to be her leash, for if she had a disc in her mouth there was no need for anything else – she would stay within six feet of her mom or dad under any and all circumstances. She hadn’t a care for other dogs or squirrels or deer or rabbits etc.
Harper began coming to work with Maggie at the funeral home in 2015. She was a caring Greeter and Comfort Dog for many years. She helped to train Ezmae at the job and when Maggie decided to spend a few years homeschooling their young children, Harper then stayed home with her and the kids and the Greeter position was officially passed to Ezmae.
Harper’s passing has left a quite the void in the hearts of the Kent family. Maggie often referred to her as “my First Born”. She was a protective big sister to Liam and Max and was an excellent Alpha to Ezmae and Deja. She was loved deeply and will be forever missed.
