To say Marlowe lived a full life is an understatement. He was a stray in Santa Barbara until Raincoast Dog Rescue brought him to Victoria, where he and Darren found each other,  and lived the bachelor life. When Brynn came along Marlowe thrived on the adventure of exploring the West Coast, and being the best couch cuddle buddy a girl could ask for. His world changed again when the family welcomed a baby, and Marlowe, well into his old age, rose to the challenge and became an amazing family dog. He showed incredible patience and affection for his new little human, and they became best friends.

Marlowe was sweet and goofy, energetic with an immense enthusiasm for life. He was as happy climbing a mountain as he was cuddling on the couch. He loved his people deeply, and in his passing we lost a best friend and core member of the family we have built for the last 13 years. He taught us all lessons of how to love and care for one another, and we will carry them with us always. We feel so much gratitude for Resting Paws for allowing us to send Marlowe on his next journey without pain, and with such care, love and dignity.

Goodbye Marlowe, our sweet boy, until we meet again. We will miss you forever and love you always.
