In Loving Memory

Our Gus was truly one of a kind soul, our big gentle giant with the softest heart. At 160 pounds, he still insisted on couch cuddles, sleeping in bed with us, and being in the middle of every hug. He adored his stuffie friends, proudly carrying them to the top of the stairs to wait for our return whenever we left. He was our velcro boy, always by our side through life’s hardest moments, loving us beyond measure. Gus was our everything, and he took a huge piece of our hearts with him. Forever wouldn’t have been enough. We will love you forever baby boy 🪽❤️

Zuma was the love of my life. She brought me joy every day. We met when she was just 4 days old.
If I threw a stick into the bush she would come out with something totally different.
Zuma had to carry it all the way home and leave it in her special spot of all her collectables.
My heart is empty and broken into a million pieces. She was loved by many but mostly by me.
I will never forget as she was passing the hummingbird that landed beside us, and when her heart stopped beating the humming bird flew away.
RIP my sweet girl I love you…. your mama.

“Jasper: You were the dog that almost wasn’t – surrendered at an early age, neglected, slated for termination. It’s no wonder you were so anxious and fearful when we met you. We literally drove through a tornado to rescue you, and that is actually an apt metaphor for all that was to come. You were the loudest dog with the biggest, scariest, big-boy voice, but you were also loving and loyal, with such a big heart. And you were so, so smart; you could chart a course, map a location, or triangulate a position with ease. There are so many more things we wanted to share with you, but at 14 1/2, you felt you’d done enough, and we agree; you deserve your rest. Goodbye sweet Jazzy – we miss you today, and will for every single day to come.”

Thank you, Dr. Vanessa, Zoe, and the team.
Last night was quite sleepless for us and Moo’s warm morning purr greeting wanting her breakfast, now missing, has left us quite tearful.
Unfortunately, something was terribly wrong with her health and peacefully sending her on over the rainbow was really our last kindness
She was a very beautiful girl.
Her quirky moments and kind nudges will live with us for the rest of our days.
Again, thank you for your warmth, God Bless.

Beloved Choco was a gentle and sweet soul, but he could be wonderfully sassy too, he always made us laugh and smile and was truly a good kitty. We know he is in a much better place now where he is very happy. We miss you Choco! I love you forever!

My sweet boy Rex. You were a special boy, our first dog. You have been with us since the beginning of the life that we have built. So many firsts, and you were there for it all. We will cherish the memories we made with you by our side all these years. We are deeply missing the weight of your presence in our lives. We love you so much!

Zeusse was sweet, spirited, athletic and agile, needy and fun. She could communicate to us her needs and desires. She loved her walks, swims, playing in the snow and snuggling on the couch. She just wanted to be with us all the time and we loved her more than life itself.

Shiloh was loyal, courageous, funny, and a master food thief. He was loved dearly by myself for 15 years, and my daughter for 6. Forever in our hearts Shiloh.

Gentle, smart, funny, feisty – a wonderful roommate, and the softest, sweetest companion imaginable. Thanks, Pip, for enriching our lives these 18 years. You’re in our hearts forever.

A loyal heart and gentle soul, forever remembered and deeply missed.

Dakota was with us for 18 wonderful years. We will miss her craziness, her talking and her cuddles.
She was very vocal and had the zoomies at night to make sure we were awake. She wouldn’t miss one occasion to watch us from her cat tree. Now we know she will keep watching over us from where she is.

Our beautiful Sadie was a constant and loyal companion to all of us and we loved her so very much. We will miss her every day and cherish the beautiful memories that we shared together.

With heavy hearts, we say goodbye to our beloved dog, Kea (April 21, 2010 – December 31, 2024).

Kea was a comical source of joy and love from the very first moment we met her. As a puppy, she was the obedience class clown, always entertaining and getting into mischief. As she grew, she somehow became sweeter and sweeter every day. When we thought there was no way she could get any sweeter, she somehow could, and she did.

Kea had a passion for adventure and a playful energy. She loved swimming, fetching sticks from the water, jumping off docks, and would race to the top of any mountain we hiked wondering what was taking her parents so long to catch up.

Kea made friends wherever she went. She particularly won the hearts of a few special neighbours. One of Kea’s most treasured activities was trick-or-treating (multiple times per day) at our neighbors’ gates.

Her exuberant spirit filled our home with laughter and love, and we miss her dearly.

Pandora loved swimming, treats, sun bathing and cuddling. She was a very special dog, we had the honour growing old with her. She is and will be missed deeply.

Sweet Molly, Forever loved and never forgotten.

“Our darling girl Molly passed away peacefully just shy of her 14th birthday, surrounded by her loved ones with the breeze in her face and the grass under her paws on our family farm. Molly was our “foster fail” who came into our lives when she was about a year old, and from the moment she arrived we knew she was never leaving. Molly was beloved by her family, as well as many who had never met her, but knew her through her Instagram @hyperintelligentmolly. Molly did numerous modelling contacts over the years, and her face can be found in print catalogues and on the sides of pet stores. Molly loved hiking and camping, taking flying leaps into the water, road trips, rolling in the snow and grass, Easter egg hunts, chasing the side-by-side on the farm, crunchy treats, and cuddles in bed in the morning. Molly summited mountains, flew in a plane, participated in multi day backpacking trips, canoeing, paddle boarding, snowshoeing, dock diving and even tried her paw at sheep herding. She was passionate about howling along to Lorde and growling at Kung fu movies. Molly is deeply missed by her mom & dad, grandpawrents & best dog friend Remy. We are so grateful to have had such a beautiful soul in our lives. “

He was the sweetest little man out there. Definitely a bit of a hand whore when it came to the pets and he loved to climb people. He had such a distinct, lovable personality. He will be missed

My Sweet Charlotte, left us earthside on December 19 2024.

For the nine wonderful years I had with her, she brought unquantifiable joy, and unconditional love into my life.

She was the perfect example of a classic cat, Independent but loving, proper yet playful, respectful yet curious. Never one to be picked up she would contently sit by your side, leaning against you, sharing her warmth.

She ventured home with me to the Yukon through my years at university, lounged in her favourite corner at my parents house in the sun in Victoria, and loved sitting at the window in my Condo, watching the goings on beyond the glass. These places will never feel quite the same without her quiet presence, or her polite meow letting us know her food bowl might be empty. She had the softest fur, and if you were lucky, she would lean on your outstretched arm, nestling herself into you and providing rare kisses on your hand. In the weeks before she died, she must have known her time was coming to an end, as she slept like this with me for many days straight. I’m grateful for the memory of this, now that she has moved on.

She will be greatly missed by many people, including her cat sister Luna, who Charlotte tolerated with the utmost of patience.

Oscar was such a lovely dog who was loved so much by all of us and we really miss our family member.

We were so lucky to have Lily in our lives for the past 11 and a half years and anyone who knows us knows what an irreplaceable part of our family she was. She wasn’t just a dog; she was a constant source of love and joy who touched our lives in ways we never thought possible. Everyone who met her instantly fell for her soft, sensitive soul.

From the moment we brought her home, she fit into our family perfectly, as though she was always meant to be with us. She had a calm, easygoing nature and was happy doing anything, as long as she was by our side—whether it was a walk, a hike, watching TV, or just napping. She always went with the flow.

Lily was incredibly smart, too. In her later years, she decided that carrying groceries was her special job, and she even made it onto CTV Vancouver Island News for her talents.  She was truly one of a kind.

She had the best life and was loved beyond measure. Her absence will be felt deeply in so many little ways, like looking up to see her in the kitchen hoping for a treat, finding her at our feet while watching tv, or being greeted at the door by her happy wiggle and favorite toy.

Her memory will be everywhere, and the boundless joy and love she gave us will forever live in our hearts. We’ll miss her immensely and grieve her loss for a long time.

But we take comfort in knowing she is running free now, playing with all the dogs that came before her, chasing tennis balls, and bounding through endless ocean waves. (And eating all the pup cups she could ever hope for!)

Rest easy, sweet Lily.
