In Loving Memory

♥️ In Loving Memory of Our Sweet Wally ❤️
beloved Wally lived a wonderful 14 and a half years, full of love, adventure, and so many happy moments. Wally brought us so much joy and laughter every single day.

We’ll miss his little paws following us around, his happy tail wags to greet us at the door, laying on the kitchen floor trying to catch food crumbs and the way he always made everything feel a little brighter.

Thank you for being our best boy, Wally. You gave us your whole heart, and we’ll carry your love with us always. ❤️🐾

Dandy was the first born of his litter on May 17 2017 and passed October 18th 2025. He truly lived up to his name, he was a handsome, goofy, loving fellow. As a clutzy gentle giant he loved to cuddle up to near everyone who sat down with him. If he wasn’t snoozing he was sniffing, his walks always consisted of letting him follow his nose. He loved frozen mango, cucumbers, carrots, peanut butter and chicken strips. He leaves behind his littermate Cru and best friend Honeybun. He joins his mum Ruby and former pals Jaida, Timmy, Mac, Candy & Monty across the rainbow bridge, where we like to believe is a giant farm where they can eat and play. Dandy was silly, lovey and our first son. He changed our lives positively forever. I’m so grateful we got to care for and love him while he was here. Thank you for being there when my partner proposed the day before you left Earth, it meant everything to me for you to be there and give my ring a good luck kiss and have your Dandy blessing.

Rest easy our darling Pisces Sun

I’d like to thank all the staff at Resting Paws, for their kind care and understanding, towards Max and our family during our very difficult time saying “Goodbye”.

Sophie, Soapy, Sophocles Charlemagne,

Ten years wasn’t enough time, but we are endlessly grateful that we were able to give you a loving home for your golden years. We will forever miss your counter surfing, late night yowling, and most of all the cuddles on the couch in the heart of winter. I expect I will compare every cat I have the chance to meet to you for the rest of my life. You really were the perfect guy. We love you, Sophie.

Dearest Charlie! You filled our lives with more joy than you will ever know. We loved you your entire life and we will miss you for the rest of ours! Fly free our princess 🐾

To the team at resting paws, your utmost compassion and professionalism made the most difficult decision of our lives that much more comforting. We can never put into words how appreciative we are! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and everyone who Charlie touched with her beautiful soul.

In loving memory of a loyal heart and gentle soul.

Simba, also known as “Bubby” or “The Orange Prince,” spent 17 years with his mom here on our farm. We were so happy to have our time with him, and we miss him dearly. He was lucky to grow up in his family unit, and lived such a long and healthy life.

Toby came into this world the largest of his litter, he was bold and loving. He looked up to his brother Louis and was from day one, and became an integral part of our pack. He loved to sing the song of his people, spending time with his family and grew to appreciate his human sister and all the treats she would drop for him on the floor.
He had such a wonderful sense of adventure and was fearless. Always looking for someone to snuggle with, finding anyone who needed a little bit of extra love and providing them that sense of comfort. He will be truly missed and he is in our thoughts always. Thank you Toby for being part of our family, we were so lucky to have you and we will always love you. You can rest now with your brother Louis.

A big boy with an even bigger heart and a true gentle giant.
Sweet Calvin will be dearly missed by his devoted and caring family.

There are no words that can express how much we miss our baby girl, Annie. She has been the centre of our universe for 13 years. At just 19 years old, my husband and I drove to Qualicum Beach and there she was, the most perfect, chunky little lab. She was meant for us since day one. Annie gave us countless smiles, laughs, kisses, cuddles and love. Her favourite things were to swim for sticks in the ocean, eat (of course she’s a lab), roll around in the grass, go to work with her Dad and greet people with the strongest tail wag and happiest face holding a toy or slipper. Annie was right by our side through school, building many houses, getting a baby brother dog Gus, and welcoming her human baby sister Scarlett last year. We are so lucky to have shared this time with Annie and we wish it could have lasted forever. We will continue to celebrate our sweet girl in every way we can and cherish every moment and memory she gave us. You will live in our hearts forever.

We love you Annie.

From Elijah (7), her dearest boy – I really really liked snuggling you. I really miss you. I love you.

From Mom, her savior & Dad, her pack leader – Rylee was deemed anxious, leash aggressive, should live with no dogs, no children and our home was her seventh by the time she was 4. The odds were not in her favor. She bonded to our other dog immediately, and later down the road while we were nervous she would eat the baby, I am pretty sure she thought he was hers.

Rylee was a universal blood donor and saved 6 lives in her 15 years. Highlights include; when she stole a neighbors moose antler and brought it home, ate another’s chicken, lost an argument with a raccoon, made the feather duvet snow in the summer, could gas out an entire floor of the house, and had a giant distaste for Golden Retrievers. She would adventure out of her contained yard for 12-14 hours, but always came home to snuggle, eat and sleep.

She loved with her whole heart, eventhough it took some time to win it over completely. I will miss my little spoon in bed, and my mobile slippers in the fall. There are dogs, and then there are soulmates. She really squeezed into the soul, and left behind a surprising menagerie of life lessons and memories. There is no death without life, and we were so lucky that most of her entire life was spent with us.

Rylee, nicknamed “Birdie” will now forever be basking in the sunshine and watching the birds.

She was a fairly timid little creature but had plenty of cattitude that helped her make her wishes known! We met her in an animal shelter in Whitehorse many years ago, and she’s been a wry observer and constant participant in family life ever since. She will be fondly remembered.

I adopted Dolly from a rescue outside of Edmonton when I was 25. I didn’t quite know what I was in for – both in terms of extreme exercise, but also in terms of extreme devotion. I can’t even count the kms we’ve hiked, walked, or ran together. Or the evenings she made me feel comforted. I just had to glance her way and she knew if I was asking her to go for a walk, get a treat, or come up on the couch. She was smart, intuitive, and got me out of bed on days when it seemed like an impossible feat. I can’t imagine what I’ll do without her but I’m so glad we had the time together that we did. Hope that you find some ocean shores to run along and some snow drifts to bounce through, my sweet girl.

Coconut came into our lives about 19 years ago. She was the only black kitten nestled among many little bodies of white fur and stripes. It was my tenth birthday and the second we picked her up she started purring as loudly as an engine, my Mom and I immediately knew that she was the one. I think she chose us just as much as we chose her. Over the years, Coconut grew beautiful and plump and loved socializing with her fellow female-kind. She was the kind of cat who showed great concern if you were ever crying and would spend the whole day in bed with you if you were sick. Getting chased around and giving my Mom and I a good scare, or at least trying to, gave her much delight. I’ll miss giving her kisses on the head the most.

Thank you for years of playing, friendship, cuddles, laughs, purring, comfort and so much more. You were the best friend I ever had and I’m going to miss you every day. We went in for a cat and wound up with the whole package. Easy travels wherever you are, my friend, I hope we can meet again someday.🐾🖤

Hanna aka Moopy came to us in her senior years because of a death in our family. It was not an easy transition for all of us. And still, as the months passed, trust grew, and we learned how to be a new family together. We knew nothing about poodles and Moopy was a patient/persistent/stubborn/smart teacher…. I’ve never known such a gentle-mouthed dog! Fleet-footed, like the Huntress, she was also The Destroyer of Sticks, Hater of Scooters and Widdershins Around Tables. We loved her very much. There is a big hole in our life. When a door swings a little open my heart gives a lurch– will her spongy nose poke inside? I am comforted by the fact that her death was so easy and kind. She left life gorging on liver treats which she couldn’t eat when she was with us because of chronic digestive issues. She was so happy…. We were in the backyard in the shade of the trees. Birds were chirping. Her best toys were nearby.
I picture her spirit trotting lightly ahead, like she would do when I took her off the leash at the bottom of the driveway. That spring in her step. Her tail held high, that easy pace, so swift and graceful. Sometimes she would stop and glance back to see if I was coming. Then, reassured, she’d trot up over the rise and disappear.

Baxter,
You truly were my little gentleman, my unicorn dog, and now my sweet angel.
You took a big piece of my heart with you when you left, and left behind your perfect paw prints on my heart.
Rest easy my sweet, handsome boy 💔

Rest in peace beloved black beauty; your adventurous spirit will forever be cherished and deeply missed.

“Charlie (aka Chicken Nugget, Chicken Noodle, Legrande Orange, Char Char and Chew Chew)
We will miss your silent meows, head boops, little love bites and your desire for constant attention. Your silliness made us laugh and smile every single day. You were also our “sweet baby sweetness” and you loved big. We were blessed to have you in our lives. Love you furever.”

Felix was a gentle giant who loved food, forehead kisses, and his family. He (along with his alleged son, Wallaby) found his forever home with me, and a permanent place in my heart, in early 2021.

Felix was a furry friend to Wallaby; the boys were a team. They played together, cuddled together, begged for my (off limits!) food together, and woke me up every morning together. Felix was a faithful companion to me, too. He stayed close while I worked from home — curled up on the couch behind me, basking on the floor in rays of sunlight, lounging in his window hammock, or sprawled right across my desk. Whenever I went to the bathroom, he guarded the door. He often joined me on my mat for Pilates classes. At night, he slept soundly at my feet. And conveniently, he had the magic ability to teleport right behind me in an instant upon hearing the fridge door open.

Felix contracted FIV before I adopted him, though it never interfered with his quality of life. This year, however, his health declined, and after various tests, my vet and I learned that he had heart disease. With medication, we were hopeful that his health would improve, but after he suddenly took a turn for the worse, my vet discovered a large mass (cancer) in his abdomen. Given his poor condition, I did not want to put Felix through any more pain just to try to keep him alive for my sake. I made the decision that was best for him.

I am so grateful to Pacific Cat Clinic for taking excellent care of my beloved boy and for advocating for his comfort; to Resting Paws, for easing Felix’s pain and giving him the peaceful goodbye that he deserved, in the familiarity of his own home; and to both veterinary practices, for their compassion and care every step of the way.

Goodbye, Felix. Wallaby and I will love you forever.

In loving memory of Luna our best friend and ‘fur baby’ of 12 years. Luna was a gentle, affectionate and sensitive girl that was loved by all who met her. Her joyful enthusiasm for life was tangible. We joked that she was the only extrovert in our little family as she made friends wherever she went. Walking with her first thing every morning was one of the best parts of my day and I’ll miss our special time together. Luna loved her dog park friends, playing with her ball, squeaky toys and going to the beach. Rest easy good girl.
