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.

Luna

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.

 

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.

 

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.
