With the heaviest hearts, our family had to say goodbye to our baby boy, adventure partner, and best friend. We were incredibly lucky to have him in our lives. He blessed us with a lifetime of memories. If you were fortunate enough to meet his hummingbird tail, you would know how special he was. He loved everyone equally. His personality was truly unique—sometimes more human than dog.
It’s hard to put into a few words what the last 14+ years were like. He lived a full, adventurous life. He was always an explorer—sometimes called a Houdini for the ways he’d manage to escape. Nose to the ground, he was always sniffing out the next discovery.
He toured across Canada multiple times, hiked through landscapes from Ontario forests to the grasslands and badlands of Saskatchewan, all through the Rockies, and across Vancouver Island. He was the ring bearer at our wedding. We were so lucky he was here to meet his baby brother, born this past June.
He was a connoisseur of anything cheese and loved the last bite of anyone’s croissant. He was our light after a hard day, always ready for a snuggle. His love was unconditional, and he will be deeply missed.
