In Loving Memory

We adopted Riley 14 years ago when he was just a sweet little puppy and for 14 years he remained that same sweet little guy that we first met. When our daughter was born the following year, Riley was there and she has only ever known a life with him – they loved each other so much. From the very beginning, Riley was such a good dog – so loving and gentle and obedient. I don’t think we ever could have imagined how much he would mean to us. We will miss him (and his incessant licks) so much and are grateful we were lucky enough to have had many good years together.

Its with a heavy heart that I honor this little cat. Pene has been part of my life for 19 years through good times  and sad times, always with a cuddle and softly purring in my arms. Pene was a brave little soul looking at me with those mysterious eyes as if asking whats wrong with me Mom? She isn’t suffering anymore and she will be etched in my heart forever. I love you sweet girl.

Ollie lived an exciting 14 year adventure filled with endless love, stunning beaches, long walks, and juicy bones. He was an incredibly loyal, fun, gentle, stubborn, fantastic golden retriever. He will be so greatly missed by his family, David his friend and dog walker, and all the residents of Mt Matheson. Our beloved mountain pup, your memory lives on forever!

To my pretty girl, you will always be in my heart and memories, I will never forget you. I love you so much.

It is better to have loved and lost, than to spend your life wondering what love would have been like.

Meesha…..it still doesn’t seem real that you are no longer by my side. You gave me 14 amazing years of unconditional love which I will never forget. You took a piece of my heart with you on August 1, 2026 but that’s okay because that piece belongs to you fur-ever. You helped me through some very difficult times in my life but were also a huge part of the best times in my life. There is such a big void in my heart and our home, and now I need to navigate life, without my “one-eyed” wingman, my shadow, my best friend. You are now at peace my sweet girl, and that brings me a sense of calmness.” Thank you for the greatest gift of just being you xo

Dear Lotus.

During our year-long stay more than 12 years ago, you and your brother found your way into our hearts as tiny puppies. Life held more laughter, more joy, and more love because you were part of it.

You arrived with an attitude, a bright, fiery spark, and a fierce love and devotion to your human family (of 5).

You were a beautiful soul, merely disguised in a dog’s body.

Your spirit, your sweet “I wuv yous,” the familiar click of your paws across the floor, your little “hello waves” at the top of the stairs, your fixation of pillows to rest your head on and the unconditional love you shared will be missed beyond words.

The love we shared is never lost as it lives on in our hearts, always and forever.

Thank you for the gift of being you.

Theo was with me through every chapter of my life, from kindergarten to university. He was the perfect kitty for two little girls and was always by our side as we grew up. Theo had the gentlest, sweetest soul. He loved everyone he met and had a way of winning over even the biggest “dog people.” He always wanted to be near the people he loved. We will carry you in our hearts forever, Theo.
