Trillian
April 29, 2011 – September 3 2026
Trillian, you were the sweet little heartbeat at our feet. For 15½ years, you were there for all of it. Through the big moments, the major milestones, the hardest days and all the ordinary days in between.
Half Lab, half Cocker Spaniel and 100% sweetheart, you may have been travel-sized, but you had a big-dog bark. With your soft floppy ears, sad Cocker eyes, copper penny eyebrows and sweetest disposition, you were impossible not to love.
You were Trill, Trillybilly, Trillybilly Farms, Trillibum, Trimmimim, Chippy and so many other names — plus the owner of your own ridiculous human voice, lovingly provided by your family. You were an adventurer who loved camping, chasing Frisbees, fetching balls and carrying sticks twice your size.
You swam like an otter, climbed mountains like a goat and stole berries from the garden. You loved snowbanks, beaches and buried sticks, and you could hear a cucumber from anywhere in the house.
Most of all, you loved your people.
You were mum’s other heartbeat, dad’s couch-cuddler, and Everest’s protector, sister, best friend and constant companion.
Trill, you helped us raise our daughter, from cleaning up after her meals to walking her to and from school. You and she shared a childhood full of adventures and meaningful moments.
There will never be another Trillian — our loyal, patient, loving, funny, sweet and perfect girl.
You weren’t just part of our family. You helped make us a family, and you were woven so deeply into the fabric of our lives that it is impossible to imagine our story without you.
We’ll miss you so much, and we’ll love you forever, Trillian. 
Mum, Dad & Everest
