Pet Memorials
In Loving Memory
Honouring and remembering the pets we have helped transition across the rainbow bridge.
Please send us an email if you would like to honour your pet’s memory.
Sophia
In loving memory of our Princess Sophia! Oct 14, 2010 to Oct 16, 2024. She touched so many people in her 14 years and was so loved! Sophia loved to bask in the sun and would go anywhere inside or outside to find it. She enjoyed playing fetch and sitting up for treats and chasing the birds and squirrel out of her yard. Even when we brought her home a cat brother (Lucy) she welcomed him and love him.
I cannot thank Dr. Vanessa and Heather enough for guiding me through this difficult time. Their compassion and kindness put me at ease and took the stress out of a very difficult situation. Thank you!
Kestrel
Kestrel was a gentle, patient and kind soul, with a love for adventure. He was such a good boy! ♡ He will forever be in our hearts.
Bandit
“A true world traveler, Bandit visited three continents, explored 15 countries, and countless cities. Along the way, he became a runner and a walker, an extraordinaire in understanding three languages, a reading buddy, a gelato connoisseur, a steadfast protector, and with his mischievous streak, a legendary food thief. Rest easy now, Bandit ❤️🌈”
Ruby
Ruby was an athlete, a chicken wrangler, a tractor driver, a clothes model for a little girl, an office dog, and a therapist. She was stubborn and barely tolerant of her feline sisters and the rain.
Ruby’s health declined over the last year due to liver disease. She died in our arms at home being told how loved she was.
She made us better humans and we loved her deeply. We will be forever grateful to have had this sweet little dog in our lives.
Lily
“Lily is greatly missed. She was an amazing friend and companion. We were lucky enough to have her in our lives for fourteen and a half years. Our house seems so empty and quiet now, which we have not gotten used to as of yet. Our memories of her are fond ones as she was always in the center of things, whether it be swimming, going on long hikes or just snuggling with us on the couch or bed. She was a wonderful dog and she will be missed much, fondly remembered and very much loved”.
Holly
Rest in peace our sweet Holly pup. November 30, 2008-September 30, 2024.
Holly was the most amazing and charismatic dog! Everyone who met her loved her. She could be a major snuggle pup, happily snoozing on your legs on the couch–but if you wanted to be active, she’d gladly run 5km with you and then come home to play fetch. Over the course of her 15 years and 10 months on earth, she ate more strange things than any dog I’ve ever known. Some highlights include at least 2 dozen pairs of my shoes, half a CD, a leather glove, a bag of dark chocolate Easter eggs, a bag of candy canes, a bowl of gummy frogs, and many many dandelions.
She loved to bark at anyone but always wagged her tail to tell them know she just wanted to play. She thought every visitor to the house was here to play fetch with her. Right up to her final days, she was still trying to play ball.
She loved to roll around in the grass on a sunny day, and to play in the snow, but often refused to go out in the rain. She was the strongest at tug of war with a rope, and would never let go even if you picked her off the ground holding the toy.
Our kids adored her and she loved them and was a great comfort to them. I don’t know what we will do without her.
Pixie
To our sweet Pixie:
“When we started looking to get a kitten, 17 3/4 years ago, your face was the very first one that popped up on our computer screen. Immediately we knew that there was no need to look any further. We fell in love with you right then and there. We loved you even more when we met you in person and then even more when we brought you home.
Over the years that love has grown and grown. You have been and always will be our everything. Our baby girl; daughter; princess; companion; friend; confidante; cuddle bug (on your terms); travel mate; source of entertainment with your zoomies/energetic play/hi-jinx/constant chatter; and so much more.
Although we have had to say goodbye for now we want you to know that despite your no longer being with us physically you will forever remain in our hearts, thoughts, and memories. You are enormously missed. ”
Coco
Coco was our first rescue, although he was still a pup his previous owner wasn’t ready for the responsibility of a dog. For us, Coco seemed to be the perfect companion to our Bailey, who was just 9 months old when we adopted Coco.
Coco fit in well with our family and boy did he bring us lots of laughter and joy. He was our little furry goofball who absolutely loved the snow. He wouldn’t hesitate to run, pounce and dive headfirst into it. Other times he’d be playing a game of hopping and running, usually out of the blue. As always we would burst out laughing at his antics.
Coco’s favourite toy was a little fox that he had from day one and stayed with him, even at passing. That poor fox had seen better days, he was stitched up countless times over the years. Coco especially loved to take his little fox on a walk around the house while whimpering, this seemed to occur after each meal.
Our Coco was a loving little guy with big a big personality. He was fortunate to have fathered three puppies with our Bailey leaving a legacy for the future. It is with much gratitude to Resting Paws and there team who brought us peace and comfort during Coco’s passing. He will forever be remembered and missed dearly.
Caz
Held dear in memories and eternally honored.
George
George, such a gentle soul, you will miss you dearly. May you rest in peace, sweet boy.
Nugget
Nugget came to Dr. Vanessa 17 years ago as an orphaned kitten who required bottle feedings around the clock. She grew into the purrfect companion who filled our lives with so much joy and warmth 😻She was the queen of drooling while purring, a sunbathing beauty with an odd, but adorable, obsession with bananas 🍌 She will be missed dearly 💔
Rest in peace sweet Nugget. You have surely left paw prints on the hearts of so many 🐾
Begley
This guy came into our lives on December 29, 2010…we had him for almost exactly 13 years. We will miss him so much. He was the best companion and fur brother to our daughter. He was a great walking partner to his dad. He was the best coworker for myself…he was by my side all day everyday for 13 years. He was the best photoshoot dog despite being all black and hard to light..he willingly wore costumes and always knew the exact spot to sit for the ‘dog’ in any family photo. He was a 70lb lap dog but always asked to get on the couch before jumping up. He survived cancer twice and gave us 13 amazing years. We are missing him so much already. We have so many wonderful memories. We are so grateful that he was able to be at home with us for his final moments. Thank you Dr. Vanessa.
Mystic
In loving memory of our sweet and special, Mystic, who brought so much joy and love to our lives. She passed peacefully while laying on my lap (her favourite place to be). I’m so grateful that I had 18 years with her sassy little attitude. Rest peacefully my sweet Mystic.
