In Loving Memory

Remembering our beautiful Stella

Stella had the worst of this world and the best of this world..Born in Mexico, she got lucky and found her way to Vancouver Island (probably because of her gorgeous brown eyes!), only to find neglect and abuse here. Luckily, she got another chance at a good life when Karen, her wonderful foster mom saved her and brought a village to help Stella back. She was broken beyond words. But with great help like Ron’s last chance rescue and Karen, Stella started trusting the world again. It helped that Stella always wanted to love people… And food!
Stella found her happiness at her third go around. She came to visit us for a “three hour tour”, and it was love on the spot. She never left our home. She had an amazing 7 years with us and her little brother – also from Mexico – filled with lots of love, comfy beds (she was partial for down duvets), good food, tons of exercise and off leash adventures.

Stella was so gorgeous, with her long stiletto legs, and her brown eyes that reflected the soul of the world. She was an amazing friend, always at my side – my shadow. She won countless hearts with her sweet and gentle demeanor.

She will forever be missed by us, many friends and neighbours and Sparky, her very own therapy dog who did an amazing job at showing her that the world is a good place after all.

Rest in peace my sweet girl, you will always be in our hearts.

Shelby is missed beyond measure in our home. She was coined a “cat” dog by her aunt as she loved to be curled up on a chair or snuggled into someone’s lap. She adored her cousin Ava and appreciated her puppy play keeping her young in her senior years. Shelby stole my whole heart (and chair most days) and I will cherish the memories we had together. I love you Shelby Rae, thank you for being my little love for 15 years.

Charlie was the most handsome boy and kept me strong through so much heartbreak. From breakups to losing loved ones he was there by my side to give me a look of love and comfort. We often communicated by longing blinks to convey the love we both know we had for so deeply for each other. I will always keep him in my heart, and will never stop talking about him. I love you my beautiful boy.

♥️ In Loving Memory of Our Sweet Wally ❤️
beloved Wally lived a wonderful 14 and a half years, full of love, adventure, and so many happy moments. Wally brought us so much joy and laughter every single day.

We’ll miss his little paws following us around, his happy tail wags to greet us at the door, laying on the kitchen floor trying to catch food crumbs and the way he always made everything feel a little brighter.

Thank you for being our best boy, Wally. You gave us your whole heart, and we’ll carry your love with us always. ❤️🐾

Dandy was the first born of his litter on May 17 2017 and passed October 18th 2025. He truly lived up to his name, he was a handsome, goofy, loving fellow. As a clutzy gentle giant he loved to cuddle up to near everyone who sat down with him. If he wasn’t snoozing he was sniffing, his walks always consisted of letting him follow his nose. He loved frozen mango, cucumbers, carrots, peanut butter and chicken strips. He leaves behind his littermate Cru and best friend Honeybun. He joins his mum Ruby and former pals Jaida, Timmy, Mac, Candy & Monty across the rainbow bridge, where we like to believe is a giant farm where they can eat and play. Dandy was silly, lovey and our first son. He changed our lives positively forever. I’m so grateful we got to care for and love him while he was here. Thank you for being there when my partner proposed the day before you left Earth, it meant everything to me for you to be there and give my ring a good luck kiss and have your Dandy blessing.

Rest easy our darling Pisces Sun

I’d like to thank all the staff at Resting Paws, for their kind care and understanding, towards Max and our family during our very difficult time saying “Goodbye”.

Sophie, Soapy, Sophocles Charlemagne,

Ten years wasn’t enough time, but we are endlessly grateful that we were able to give you a loving home for your golden years. We will forever miss your counter surfing, late night yowling, and most of all the cuddles on the couch in the heart of winter. I expect I will compare every cat I have the chance to meet to you for the rest of my life. You really were the perfect guy. We love you, Sophie.

Dearest Charlie! You filled our lives with more joy than you will ever know. We loved you your entire life and we will miss you for the rest of ours! Fly free our princess 🐾

To the team at resting paws, your utmost compassion and professionalism made the most difficult decision of our lives that much more comforting. We can never put into words how appreciative we are! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and everyone who Charlie touched with her beautiful soul.

In loving memory of a loyal heart and gentle soul.

Simba, also known as “Bubby” or “The Orange Prince,” spent 17 years with his mom here on our farm. We were so happy to have our time with him, and we miss him dearly. He was lucky to grow up in his family unit, and lived such a long and healthy life.
