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.

Gus

Our Gus was truly one of a kind soul, our big gentle giant with the softest heart. At 160 pounds, he still insisted on couch cuddles, sleeping in bed with us, and being in the middle of every hug. He adored his stuffie friends, proudly carrying them to the top of the stairs to wait for our return whenever we left. He was our velcro boy, always by our side through life’s hardest moments, loving us beyond measure. Gus was our everything, and he took a huge piece of our hearts with him. Forever wouldn’t have been enough. We will love you forever baby boy 🪽❤️

Zuma

Zuma was the love of my life. She brought me joy every day. We met when she was just 4 days old.
If I threw a stick into the bush she would come out with something totally different.
Zuma had to carry it all the way home and leave it in her special spot of all her collectables.
My heart is empty and broken into a million pieces. She was loved by many but mostly by me.
I will never forget as she was passing the hummingbird that landed beside us, and when her heart stopped beating the humming bird flew away.
RIP my sweet girl I love you…. your mama.

“Jasper: You were the dog that almost wasn’t – surrendered at an early age, neglected, slated for termination. It’s no wonder you were so anxious and fearful when we met you. We literally drove through a tornado to rescue you, and that is actually an apt metaphor for all that was to come. You were the loudest dog with the biggest, scariest, big-boy voice, but you were also loving and loyal, with such a big heart. And you were so, so smart; you could chart a course, map a location, or triangulate a position with ease. There are so many more things we wanted to share with you, but at 14 1/2, you felt you’d done enough, and we agree; you deserve your rest. Goodbye sweet Jazzy – we miss you today, and will for every single day to come.”

Moo

Thank you, Dr. Vanessa, Zoe, and the team.
Last night was quite sleepless for us and Moo’s warm morning purr greeting wanting her breakfast, now missing, has left us quite tearful.
Unfortunately, something was terribly wrong with her health and peacefully sending her on over the rainbow was really our last kindness
She was a very beautiful girl.
Her quirky moments and kind nudges will live with us for the rest of our days.
Again, thank you for your warmth, God Bless.

Choco

Beloved Choco was a gentle and sweet soul, but he could be wonderfully sassy too, he always made us laugh and smile and was truly a good kitty. We know he is in a much better place now where he is very happy. We miss you Choco! I love you forever!

Rex

My sweet boy Rex. You were a special boy, our first dog. You have been with us since the beginning of the life that we have built. So many firsts, and you were there for it all. We will cherish the memories we made with you by our side all these years. We are deeply missing the weight of your presence in our lives. We love you so much!

Zeusse

Zeusse was sweet, spirited, athletic and agile, needy and fun. She could communicate to us her needs and desires. She loved her walks, swims, playing in the snow and snuggling on the couch. She just wanted to be with us all the time and we loved her more than life itself.

Shiloh

Shiloh was loyal, courageous, funny, and a master food thief. He was loved dearly by myself for 15 years, and my daughter for 6. Forever in our hearts Shiloh.

Pipsqueak

Gentle, smart, funny, feisty – a wonderful roommate, and the softest, sweetest companion imaginable. Thanks, Pip, for enriching our lives these 18 years. You’re in our hearts forever.

Diesel

A loyal heart and gentle soul, forever remembered and deeply missed.

Walter

Our little lion. With complex health needs and blind since birth, Walter was literally enveloped in love (from mum) and ‘calibrated risk taking’ (from dad) which collectively included innumerable family snuggles, garden explorations at Gramma and Grandpas, bubble baths (!!!), road trips to the Prairies, lazy afternoons ‘listening’ to football or ‘helping’ mum as she cooked aromatic dinners.

Your percolating purrs a.k.a ‘purrbulating’ will be sorely missed along with all the routines and rituals that made our home, well, a home. We take solace in knowing you are no longer uncomfortable, so our many tears are of relief and finitude.

Whether we rescued you, or you rescued us, will be a point of meowing debate.

Sleep well little lion. Sleep well.

 

Baxter

Baxter, a sweet and joyful companion who embraced the outdoors with boundless energy and brought so much happiness into my life. His presence will be deeply missed, but his spirit will forever remain in my heart.

 

Bandit

Forever cherished and deeply missed, sweet Bandit, your memory will live on in our hearts.

 

Farley

Our sweet, gentle, wise, curious sir Farley. We miss your ever presence here. Find new trails, meet new friends, chase what moves, sleep in the shade. You have led the way, as you always loved to do. Until we see you again, we are never far apart. Farewell kindred friend.

 

Hugo

In loving memory of Hugo (a.k.a. Hugo Beans)♥️🐾

Hugo was a beautiful soul who loved adventures with his family, searching for treats, and cuddling.
He loved sitting by the ocean listening to the waves, feeling the beach sand squish between his little toes, sniffing in the soft green grass, and making friends with cats.

Hugo was there with us through big celebrations and huge losses.

He taught us what unconditional love truly feels like, how to play, and how to appreciate the little things.

For 16.5 years, I was blessed to have him as a best friend and grateful to be able to spend each day together.

He is greatly missed, but his presence is still felt in the comforts of home, in the warm sunshine, and always in our hearts.

We love you, Hugo.♥️

 

Roxie

To sum Roxie up in a few words is extremely hard. She was amazing on so many levels, extremely loyal, faithful, fierce but loving. If you were lucky to be loved by her, she knew how to let you know. She was goofy and made us laugh constantly; she was our southern belle. She had a huge impact on the world and will be truly missed.

 

Jabberwocky

Jabberwocky was a sweet, sassy girl who loved heated blankets, belly rubs, crinkle toys, and dressing up in pretty outfits. She was happiest when she was by my side and followed me everywhere she could.

Jabberwocky was my first cat, my best friend, and my soul cat. I’ll miss her so much. It’s incredibly painful knowing she’ll never crawl into my arms again, that I’ll never again pet her soft fur or feel her gentle paw on my arm.

Thank you for your love and companionship for 18 years, Jabber. You are forever in my heart. Go play in all the sunbeams, sweetest girl. I’ll leave space for you on the heated blanket.

 

Rajjah

Rajjah was a true friend and loving friendly cat to his family who loved him with all their hearts. He was adopted from the BC SPCA in Victoria at age 11, and lived with his family for 13 years.
He loved sitting on his favorite chair listening to the sounds of nature.on his favorite chair outside on his balcony. He loved to be serenaded to and he would happily curl up and listen to his favorite songs that were sung to him in guitar.
He is dearly missed , and forever remembered by everyone who came into his life.
He was a brave and beautiful cat that woke up each morning and waited for a hug.
We miss you our dear Rajjah

 

Geisha

Geisha
2009-2024
My little girly, my joy, my comfort, my shop steward. You always knew when someone needed your closeness, and your quiet presence eased many difficult moments. Thank you for all the snuggles… now you can rest in the lap that never needs to get up to pee.

May the long time sun shine upon you,

all love surround you,

and the pure light within you,

guide your way on.

 

Chewy

We will miss our beautiful little girl Chewy, you will be in our thoughts all the time.

 

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.
