Baloo

Baloo was a special dog, exuberant, friendly and almost always up for an adventure. He loved swimming, running through fields and mountains and if given the chance he would most definitely find the nearest body of water or swamp for a quick dip. Allergic to almost everything, he could smell a burger, some juicy chicken or a steak from a mile away and would try so hard to convince you (and himself) he could have just one bite (more like the whole thing). He is deeply missed and we all will cherish the time we had with him whether it was one of our many adventures, hanging out on the couch or him just being our lookout on the farm.

Sophie

Sophie June 2013 to September 2026

Sophie was our sweetheart – a beautiful little Cairn Terrier who happily gave us love, laughs and joy for many years. She loved squeaky toys and treats, hated garbage trucks and bagpipes and was the best friend of most everyone she met. We are left bereft but with wonderful memories and a terrier-shaped hole in our hearts.

Bailey

Bailey had a tough start in life. She was rescued as a puppy from a wild-dog pack in Alberta, where she was the lowest on the food chain and was being starved out. Nate swooped in and adopted Bailey, saving her life and giving her a second chance.

Over the years, their bond grew stronger, and they became the very best of friends. When Nate met Kali, she and Bailey instantly hit it off, and the three of them became a family.

Together, they spent their years enjoying everything the outdoors had to offer—camping, hiking, swimming, and making countless memories along the way.

Bailey was deeply loved, and that love will live on forever in all the beautiful moments they shared together. Her memory will always be a part of their family, carried forward in every adventure, every quiet moment, and every good memory of the life they built together.

Trillian

Trillian
April 29, 2011 – September 3 2026

Trillian, you were the sweet little heartbeat at our feet. For 15½ years, you were there for all of it. Through the big moments, the major milestones, the hardest days and all the ordinary days in between.

Half Lab, half Cocker Spaniel and 100% sweetheart, you may have been travel-sized, but you had a big-dog bark. With your soft floppy ears, sad Cocker eyes, copper penny eyebrows and sweetest disposition, you were impossible not to love.

You were Trill, Trillybilly, Trillybilly Farms, Trillibum, Trimmimim, Chippy and so many other names — plus the owner of your own ridiculous human voice, lovingly provided by your family. You were an adventurer who loved camping, chasing Frisbees, fetching balls and carrying sticks twice your size.

You swam like an otter, climbed mountains like a goat and stole berries from the garden. You loved snowbanks, beaches and buried sticks, and you could hear a cucumber from anywhere in the house.

Most of all, you loved your people.

You were mum’s other heartbeat, dad’s couch-cuddler, and Everest’s protector, sister, best friend and constant companion.

Trill, you helped us raise our daughter, from cleaning up after her meals to walking her to and from school. You and she shared a childhood full of adventures and meaningful moments.

There will never be another Trillian — our loyal, patient, loving, funny, sweet and perfect girl.

You weren’t just part of our family. You helped make us a family, and you were woven so deeply into the fabric of our lives that it is impossible to imagine our story without you.

We’ll miss you so much, and we’ll love you forever, Trillian.

Mum, Dad & Everest

Chewy

In Loving Memory of Chewy McFluffster

With broken hearts, we said goodbye to our sweet Chewy McFluffster, our goodest boy. The decision to let him go was an act of love, but one that has left a Chewy-sized hole in our hearts.

Chewy truly was the best and lived up to his name from the very beginning. He gave us so much love, so many snuggles, and years of loyal protection. We truly could not have asked for a better dog.

In his final days, we spoiled him with his favourite foods — pizza, steak, cheeseburgers and fries — and made sure he knew just how deeply loved he was.

The house feels empty without you, Chewy Bear, and we miss you more than words can say. The years spent together was not enough time, but we are so grateful for every moment we had with you.

Forever loved. Forever missed.

Goodbye, our sweet Chewy Bear. Our lives were better because you were in them.

Bowzer

He gave the best scrawllies, and when he would pout, he had his pouty chair. He will be forever missed.

Meg

Our sweet Meg passed away at the age of 15. To say she was the heart and soul of our home would be an understatement, she was truly loved by so many people in our neighbourhood and by so many family members and friends. She was always full of joy and had a huge personality. She was a people dog and loved meeting and greeting new people. She loved cuddling in bed, playing flyball, chasing frisbees, hiking with the biggest stick she could and swimming in any body of water nearby. She also loved licking people and giving them big hugs amd getting all the attention.

We love and miss so much Meggy. You gave us some the best years of lives. Farewell our sweet girl, we will see you again!

Cooper

Cooper came into our lives when we were in our early twenties, two young adults who had no idea what we were doing. A rescue pup with a myriad of health issues, we all kind of figured it out together. From his puppyhood days to his golden years, Cooper was our steady, faithful companion as a velcro dog.

He was right there with us through all of our lives biggest chapters and milestones: our engagement and wedding, graduate school, quiet weekends, and grand adventures. He traveled more than most humans we know, but no matter where the road took us, his crooked, tiny-toothed smile was always guaranteed to brighten our days. He begrudgingly joined us on camping trips, questioning why we would take him away from his cozy spot on the couch, and seemed delighted whenever we would bring him to a hotel.

We were so lucky to be able to give Cooper the most special send-off during his final weekend with us. He was the life of the party at retirement celebrations, did part of his favorite walk on Mt. Tolmie one last time, soaked up the sun on a beach day, and visited his favorite pub where he may have enjoyed a sneaky half-sip of real beer since they were out of dog beer!

While saying goodbye leaves a hole in our hearts, we take comfort knowing he passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by the warmth and love he gave us for over 14 years.

Thank you for being our best friend. You will be loved and remembered forever.

Mr. Bean

Mr. Bean was a grumpy old sod before he was a grumpy old sod. But he was the most lovable cat I’ve ever known, and overcame his early trauma with grace and dignity. He knew what he wanted, when he wanted it. And he let anyone nearby know. Beans initiated the building’s 3rd floor “cat parties”; a surprisingly social side of him emerged in his later years.

My little buddy was precocious and never far from a good meal. He was a keen observer of the human species.

Our home has a hole without his big heart. He’ll always be remembered. There’s no one like this Mr. Bean.
