In Loving Memory

“Saying goodbye to you was the hardest day of my life. I’ve never known the pain of losing a pet before, and I honestly didn’t know it could hurt this much.

With Georgia by my side, we said goodbye to you at home and surrounded by love. It was peaceful, and it was everything you deserved, but my heart shattered as we let you go.

You’ve been with me through nearly all of my adult life. No matter what was going on, you were my constant, my comfort, my shadow. I feel completely lost without you.

At the same time, I’m so incredibly grateful for the 13 and a half amazing years together. I got to grow up with you by my side through all my ups and downs. You were the sweetest, most loyal pup — so loved every single day of your life, and so deeply missed now.

I’ll miss your cuddles, your little quirks, your quiet presence in the room. I’ll miss you, every day.

Rest easy, my sweet Jersey 💛”

Rocky,
My little angel without wings but with a happy tail.

Zoe was a one in a million dog who radiated joy and was enthusiastic about life right up until the very end. Anyone who met her couldn’t help but fall in love with her and we were lucky to call her ours. She’ll be in our hearts forever and will be deeply missed.

A wild girl soon became citified. Always needed her loving, feeding and adventures in the backyard. Missed every day. No one to walk with along the garden with, or sit outside enjoying our own little paradise. Much missed terribly.

She found us all the way from Puerto Rico and she was with us for over 14 years. She had the cheekiest little personality and kept us laughing. For having such a rough start in life, she was one of the most joyful dogs I have ever met. While she took a while to warm up to strangers, she certainly loved her peeps and showed us with lots of snuggles and antics. I really miss petting her beautiful fur which is one of the softest things I’ve ever felt. She will be forever remembered and missed deeply.

Thank you again for all your care with us and Karma.

Kay and I really appreciated the care and gentle touch that you provided to Ellie and to us during yesterday’s difficult session. We are both relieved and thankful that Ellie left us in such a peaceful and painless way. It was a difficult decision but the two of you helped make it bearable for us. Also, thank you for the donation in memory of Ellie.

I attached one of our favorite photos of Ellie. It captures her fun personality and sweet disposition. She was the most lovable and trouble-free pet that we ever had. Everybody loved Ellie.

We will be sure to recommend Resting Paws to our friends! 🙂

Today I said goodbye to my best friend. 17 years is a long time to have something so special in your life. He’s been many things to me that goes beyond a companion. An amazing support, an escape artist, a pain in the ass, the best adventure buddy anyone could ever ask for, a motivator to exercise, my fur child, the smartest dog in the dumbest ways possible, my scavenger, a 200 lb personality in a 28 lb body, my protector, little snore buckets, my bear…it goes on. Both pictures or words can’t describe the love I have for you, or the precious memories I’ll always cherish, and I can’t be grateful enough for the love you’ve given me and how you’ve enriched my life for all of these years. You’ve been nothing but amazing and have more than earned your final journey to peace…Rest easy my sweet boy, you’ll always be in my heart ❤️

Your team is so amazing, they made our girl feel comfortable and the cheese burger was brilliant.
Mirra was such a special girl, always up for an adventure, always by my side. I have so many memories of all the fun we had together, and I’m grateful that I got to be her person. I miss her every day, but I know she’s not hurting anymore.
Thank you again for helping us through this hard time.
Erin, Chris & Evan.

Sam ❤️ she was the sweetest girl.

I have so much gratitude for your team❤️. From Wendy being so supportive to help facilitate to having the support at home. Truly beautiful and exactly what I wanted.
Vanessa and Heather were so compassionate and professional you hardly knew they were here giving us our time and space.
I thank you for time. My house is quiet and lonely and will take time.🤗

“Copper was known by many as a staple downtown from when he used to help his previous owner panhandle. He would strut around downtown like he owned the place, always confident and keen to protect his owner.

He came to live with us for his senior years, where he got to pick his favorite spot on the couch, travel around Western Canada and have his fair share of favorite snacks. He was sweet and gentle when he was home with his humans with a touch of separation anxiety. Thank you for protecting me everywhere I went, even though you were less than 15 lbs (we will miss your big dog attitude). I owe you so much gratitude for getting me through one of the most challenging years of my life and I hope that you have found Benny wherever you are. Thank you for helping raise Walter, Mom and Dad will love and miss you forever. “

Rest in peace dear friend your spirit will always be treasured and your legacy will be held close in the hearts of your loving family.

“Milah wasn’t always the goodest girl – but we loved her and she loved us. She was with us when we brought our babies home and she took her role of dog sister very seriously. She was always right beside her kids for outdoor adventures. She loved a good run in a field and a walk in the woods. And she surprised us in her later years by loving her new cat brothers.

Thanks for 16 years of laughs and love Milah girl. Our house feels empty without you.”

“Missy spent 17 love filled years with my family and her bright curious nature filled every room she was in. She saw me through my teenage years and young adulthood, loving me unconditionally through every uncomfortable period of growth. I hope her peaceful end of life leads to a peaceful afterlife, and she has my love always.”

Goodbye my love, you will forever be stamped on my heart till my last breath. You’ve been my Bestie, my side kick and my protector for the past 15yrs and I couldn’t imagine getting through the ups and downs without your unconditional love and support. Thank you for loving me when I didn’t love myself. Till we meet again.

Milo was my sweet boy who came to me as a puppy when I semi-retired and had more time on my hands to love and cherish him. He became my constant companion who loved to chase his ball, walk with his Momma and friends, camp every summer for weeks at a time, swim with me, and especially float with me on an inflatable on the lake. He was my little buddy who didn’t have a mean bone in his body and loved to lick my feet and give kisses freely to even those who didn’t want them. I am so grateful that I got to be his Momma for nearly eleven years. Gone too soon, but so peacefully at home when he was having a good day. I will miss you forever, my best friend Milo.

Steve-O ❤️
Our beautiful boy.
You brought so much joy for 13 years.
A personality larger than life who commanded the room.
He definitely lived up to his name! Lol.
We miss your Zoomies and trying to hide your new favourite toy.
Even towards the end, you persevered enjoying short strolls around the park and still letting people know “I’m here !“
Reunited again with your pack Mandy and Marley. ❤️
Forever loved and dearly missed.

Ray was adopted in 2012 and true to his orange cat nature he was extremely social and friendly. Ray loved people and he would easily charm anyone who met him. He spent his younger years playing, adventuring on camping trips and enjoying life as a boat cat, where he loved to watch the birds and other wildlife. As he got older, his priorities shifted and he was happy spending his days lounging on the couch and awaiting his next meal. Ray enjoyed morning snuggles and he would always make sure visitors paid their dues by giving him plenty of pets. Earlier this year Ray welcomed a younger sister into his life and during his last few months he enjoyed chasing her around the house and sharing his wisdom about how to win humans over. Ray will always be in our hearts forever.

Moko was the best dog, his favorite thing was being with us. He loved cuddling, sunshine, duck treats, and was totally devoted to his people. He made us smile every day. Moko was loved by everyone who met him and was truly a gift to us for 15 wonderful years. We will love and miss him forever.

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!
