In Loving Memory

Thank you so much for your kindness on Saturday.   We really appreciated how thoughtful and caring you were and while it was extremely hard to say goodbye to her, it couldn’t have been a more perfect way for her to leave us.

Our sweet Levi was our first baby. Alongside his brother Baxter, he came into our lives bringing more love and energy than we ever could have imagined. Levi was the runt of the litter—a tiny black puffball—and from the very beginning, he and Baxter were inseparable.

Together, they explored Halifax Nova Scotia, running through Point Pleasant Park, strolling along the boardwalk, and wrestling endlessly in the Commons. Levi adored belly rubs and took great pride in being the instigator of every play fight.

When Levi was just four years old, he was diagnosed with chronic liver disease and given only 18 months to live. Thanks to some truly incredible doctors, we were given a miracle—eight more beautiful years with him.

In those years, Levi moved across the country with us, welcomed a baby sister in 2018, and patiently endured the chaos of lockdown (including some questionable haircuts when things got tough). He welcomed another sister in 2021 and became the most loving, gentle, living stuffed animal—happily participating in dress-up, delighting in interactive snack time, and even riding his sister’s tricycle (very much by his own request).

We loved this boy with all our hearts for almost 13 amazing years. He was the best friend any of us could have asked for, and we will miss him forever. Our home feels so quiet without you, Levi. Bedtime is less snuggly, and your familiar dinner-time whines have left an ache in our hearts. We know Baxter was happy to welcome you across the rainbow bridge and you are together again!

Thank you for sharing your life with us, Levi. We were truly blessed to spend it by your side

Maggie truly kickstarted our family. She was the icebreaker for my husband to introduce himself when he saw us, the same day I adopted her at the age of 7. We had the pleasure of 7 more years with her, before she gained her wings.

The best way to describe our girl – she truly marched to the beat of her own drum. She was unapologetically Maggie. Though if you were one of the lucky few that she let into her circle, you got to see her big, beautiful, bold personality. Her way of showing affection was through closeness, always preferring to be curled up at your side.

On her last days with us, Maggie enjoyed a plethora of food-firsts: pancakes, timbits, a burger & fries, and a pup cup. These last days were some of her best in recent months. She swam in the river, walked along the beach, and most memorably, playfully ran after her dad.

In the words of Christ Stapleton – “Run Maggie run, with the heart of a rebel child, oh run Maggie run, be just as free as you are wild”. You’ll forever be in our hearts, our sweet, wild girl.

Korra was the sweetest girl, the best dog anyone could ask for. She brought so much joy and light into every room she entered, and everyone who met her instantly fell in love. Her comfort, smiling face, and wagging tail, she was the happiest girl. Roaming through the trees or on the beach, she loved taking in all the sniffs, and chasing bunnies and swallows. Korra was so deeply loved, and the emptiness she is leaving in our lives is bigger than ever imagined. We will love you forever, sweet girl Korra.

Forever loved and forever missed, you will never be forgotten. 🐾

Sasha was a beloved cat with a big personality who loved to be in the middle of everything. Always saying hello and “talking” to anyone who came to visit.

Star had her own way of loving—never overly cuddly, but always choosing when it mattered most. I’ll never forget the nights she’d quietly jump onto the bed, walk her way up, and softly meow just to let me know she was there before settling in close. Those small moments meant everything. She was my best friend, my comfort, and my whole heart. She will always be deeply loved and never forgotten.

We had to say a very difficult goodbye to our beautiful Abby on March 18^th

She came to us as a 2 1/2 year old rescue dog from Los Angelas 12 ½ years ago and she changed our lives forever! The love and joy she gave to all of us in our family is immeasurable and so hard to describe. We have lost a huge part of our family and life will never be the same again. We will always hold the love she had for us and the love we had for her in our hearts forever and remember her always with the thousands of pictures and videos that we have of her on our phones!!!

You were the Best Abby…you stayed as long as you could with us…Now it is time for you to rest pain free.
