In Loving Memory

Willow, who did nothing but love us and crave our company, deserved to live forever.  If the love any entity gives is their value, Willow was beyond estimable worth. Willow was a very athletic and energetic dog. When she was younger, she accompanied Jodi on mountain bike rides.  In this shot, she is taking a break after an energetic run. This shot shows off her unique tongue!

Hamley’s biggest love was to hang out at the beach with his two favourite people.
We miss him more than I can express. He dug a hole of love in our hearts where he will always remain.

Abby was a good doggo that always wanted to help with a cuddled or a lick.

Who reluctantly let me take her on adventures even though she would rather be snoozing in a sunbeam.

“Because of the dog’s joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor as well as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born. What would the world be like without music or rivers or the green and tender grass? What would this world be like without dogs?”

— Mary Oliver

Fergus McDuff was one of the greats!  A happy, carefree, energetic, people-loving goofball who’s eyes could look deep into your soul.  We are so grateful that he chose us to raise him from a puppy to an Elder, and he will be cherished in our hearts for all of eternity.

You joined our family as a young 3 year old pup and said goodbye to us as a beautiful 16 year old girl. We have so many great memories of you, from riding in the jeep, paddleboarding at the cottage or just your daily silliness like having to stand, sit or lay on any table or platform that wasn’t meant to be a dog spot. You came to us when we had other furry family members, for which you helped us say goodbye to over the years. You were sassy from your striking blue eyes all the way to your floofy butt. We could always tell when you were up to no good when your tail that normally curled onto your back would slowly lower down. We dubbed that as “sneaky tail”. It usually happened just before you would wonder off for a run that would send us worried and searching all over for you for hours, only to return home and find you laying on the porch giving us the “where have you guys been, I’m hungry” look. You never had a problem telling us what you felt, and also taught your current non-husky sibling Shamus to howl. The way you would gently rest your head on my lap and let me rub those teddy bear ears, could heal any hurt I was feeling. You will be so missed by us all and forever loved xoxo.

Bowie, Bow Bow, lil Miss Chonky.

The softest, sweetest, most gentle, and chatty girl. Sending you off with millions of kisses and pets. Wishing you endless treats, catnip and wet shower walls to lick.

You’re forever in our hearts.

Thank you for the care, compassion and gentleness you showed Toby and us in his final moments.

Because of you Toby’s passing was peaceful and we will forever be grateful for the way you cared for us and him.

Warmly, N + M

Beloved companion, protector, and quiet therapist
River moved through the world with a calm, gentle presence — offering comfort, sharing freely, and always watching over those she loved.
She gave so much, including her work alongside me, bringing calm and connection to others.
When it was time, she let us know. Surrounded by love at home, she gently said goodbye.
There is a heartbeat missing in our home — and a love that remains.
