Silah
****
Goodbye to our sweet beloved girl Silah.
Silah was our joy, our light, our love. Always happy to see you and always put a smile on your face. She travelled everywhere with us, by our side through it all.
She was a protector for the kids, loved and cared for them like her own. The bond she created with each one was unique and will never be forgotten.
The house will never be the same without you. The bed empty. The yard unguarded. Miss you girl.
Forever loved. 💜

Asha
She was gentle, sassy, stubborn and I adored her. She was my little sidekick for 16 years and no words can express how much I will miss her!
Also a heartfelt thank-you to Dr. Vanessa and the whole Resting Paws team for their compassion and care.
Thank-you
Scruff
In loving memory of Scruff — a loyal heart, a gentle soul, and a furrever friend.
Magic
Magic graced our lives with his loving presence for almost 10 years. The most clever of cats he was always present where we were, following us about the house, making us laugh at his tricks, keeping us on schedule, expecting treats at bedtime, impressing everyone with his friendly but dignified furry beauty. He is greatly missed.
Max
Forever in our hearts, a faithful friend and beloved companion who brought joy to every day.
Ellie
We had 15 wonderful years with Ellie!
She was a gentle and loyal companion and she is greatly missed.
Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Nicola, Heather and the Resting Paws team for helping her peacefully transition.
With gratitude, Robyn and Paige
Harvey
Harvey came to us when he was 11 months old. We were his third home, and from the moment we met, we knew we were meant to be together. As soon as we got in the car together, he exhaled and relaxed entirely into my chest. He gazed up at me with love in his eyes and then fell fast asleep in my arms. In the 13 years we spent together, he never stopped doing this. It was clear from the very start that we were soulmates.
Harvey was passionate about his people, and we felt the same about him. There was rarely a time that he wasn’t in our laps or snuggled in our arms. I’m quite sure he believed he was a human baby and acted as such.
Harvey loved running freely on the beach – the ocean air in his fur. Zoomies as fast as he could and then running back to us with the happiest puppy grin on his sweet face. When illness and pain had taken over his little body in the last few months and he could no longer run like he used to, he still loved going to the beach to watch the birds and the waves while we snuggled in his blankie. This was how we spent his last days together – including the morning of his passing – in his happy place in the ocean air.
The loss of our sweet Harvey has left a deep hole of grief in our hearts that can never be filled, but I am so grateful for the years of unconditional love that we shared together and that he is no longer in pain. I am so grateful for the care and compassion of Resting Paws and that our precious boy was able to pass away peacefully in the comfort of our home and in our arms – surrounded by love and endless kisses.
We love you forever, sweet Harvey
Tucker
I found you at work and the family asked if i wanted you. Little did I know how much you would bring to our lives. You were the most special boy, you loved everyone, you gave the best cuddles and you saved me when we lost another pup. You were my sunshine Tucker.
We will meet you at that bridge one day and boy what a day that will be when we reunite again.
Run with your brothers and sisters. In our hearts forever.
Tia
Tia
You’ve been a constant presence in my life, and especially this past year, after the passing of my wife, your companionship meant more than words can say.
For 13 and a half years, you were not just a pet—you were a true friend, a loyal companion, and a beloved, vital member of the family.
Now it’s time for you to run free, and be with Mom.
You were deeply loved by all who knew you, and your absence leaves a space that can never be filled.
You will be forever missed.
Until we meet again…
Copper
“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. “
Pica
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
“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
“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.”
Little One
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
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
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
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
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.
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!
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.
