Our sweet Levi was our first baby. Alongside his brother Baxter, he came into our lives bringing more love and energy than we ever could have imagined. Levi was the runt of the litter—a tiny black puffball—and from the very beginning, he and Baxter were inseparable.
Together, they explored Halifax Nova Scotia, running through Point Pleasant Park, strolling along the boardwalk, and wrestling endlessly in the Commons. Levi adored belly rubs and took great pride in being the instigator of every play fight.
When Levi was just four years old, he was diagnosed with chronic liver disease and given only 18 months to live. Thanks to some truly incredible doctors, we were given a miracle—eight more beautiful years with him.
In those years, Levi moved across the country with us, welcomed a baby sister in 2018, and patiently endured the chaos of lockdown (including some questionable haircuts when things got tough). He welcomed another sister in 2021 and became the most loving, gentle, living stuffed animal—happily participating in dress-up, delighting in interactive snack time, and even riding his sister’s tricycle (very much by his own request).
We loved this boy with all our hearts for almost 13 amazing years. He was the best friend any of us could have asked for, and we will miss him forever. Our home feels so quiet without you, Levi. Bedtime is less snuggly, and your familiar dinner-time whines have left an ache in our hearts. We know Baxter was happy to welcome you across the rainbow bridge and you are together again!
Thank you for sharing your life with us, Levi. We were truly blessed to spend it by your side
