In loving memory of Milah 💖🐾

This beauty queen loved to be close to all of the action and at the heart of every family moment. Always ready for an adventure, she brought so much joy, a little mischief, and many laughs to every moment.
Rest peacefully dearest Milah 💖 Forever loved, forever remembered. 🐾 🌈
A heartfelt memorial from Milah’s cherished family is included below:

“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.”

In loving memory of a sweet bundle of joy named Milo 🎾♥️

Dearest Milo was a steady companion and shadow to his loving momma, bringing warmth to her days and comfort to her nights.🥰 Milo filled her heart with a love that asked for nothing but gave everything. In each other they found their greatest friend and adventure buddy. Rest peacefully sweet Milo ♥️🐾 🌈
A heartfelt tribute from Milo’s momma is included below:

“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 watch 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.”♥️

Rest in peace Ray 🧡🧡🧡

This regal prince, a Master of lounging and morning snuggles, spent many years on the water as an adventurous boat cat 🌊 ⚓️ He was adored and cherished by all who knew him. Rest peacefully dear Ray 🧡🐾 🌈 Below is a loving tribute from his deeply devoted family:

“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.” 🧡

In Loving Memory of Piper 🖤🤍🖤

Last week, with a heavy heart, Dr. Vanessa had to say goodbye to one of her own 💔 Piper was a scrappy, chatty, tuxedo kitty and the true ruler of the household 👑🐾 Despite her humble beginnings on the streets, her unbreakable spirit and resilience remained with her throughout her life.

Piper, the Queen of Lounging, loved nothing more than claiming every cozy spot she could find—especially her beloved egg chair—where she reigned with grace and ease. Her unmistakable, screeching meows echoed through the house at all hours, and her constant urge to start up a conversation was one of her most lovable and endearing traits 🎤🦜😻

One of Piper’s grand adventures included a cross-Canada move with Dr. Vanessa. Though she wasn’t the most enthusiastic traveler, her antics along the way kept things interesting 🚗

Rest in peace, sweet Piper ♥️You are deeply loved and forever missed 💫🐾

In loving memory of sweet princess Sophia👑
This sun-loving beauty graced her home with endless joy and warmth☀️ She was more than a beloved companion—she was a radiant source of happiness, cherished beyond words.
Rest in peace sweet angel ♥️ 🐾🌈
Below is a touching tribute from Sophia’s devoted mom:

“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.”

The Resting Paws team was so honoured to care for this special, globe-trotting sweetie 🌎 ♥️ His wonderful family said it best with a loving tribute to their bestest boy below. Run free, sweet Bandit. You will always be cherished and never be forgotten ♥️ 🐾 🌈

Rest easy now, Bandit ❤️🌈”

In loving memory of darling Ruby ♥️

Sweet Ruby, the brave bear-chasing, quail-hunting, loyal protector, always kept her family safe and full of love! We are so grateful to have met this very special lady.
Rest peacefully Ruby ♥️🐾🌈
A touching tribute from Ruby’s loving family is included below:

“Ruby was an athlete, a chicken wrangler, a tractor driver, a clothes model for a little girl, an office dog, and a therapist. She was stubborn and barely tolerant of her feline sisters and the rain. 🐓 ☔️ 👗 ♥️

Ruby’s health declined over the last year due to liver disease. She died in our arms at home being told how loved she was. 🥰

She made us better humans and we loved her deeply. We will be forever grateful to have had this sweet little dog in our lives.” ♥️♥️♥️

In loving memory of a sweet cuddle bug named Lily ♥️
With her playful spirit and loving heart, she made sure to be the center of attention wherever she went, capturing the love of everyone around her. Lily brought joy, laughter, and comfort in equal measure, and her presence will forever be cherished. Run free, sweet Lily♥️
Below is a tribute to Lily from her adoring family:

“Lily is greatly missed. She was an amazing friend and companion. We were lucky enough to have her in our lives for fourteen and a half years. Our house seems so empty and quiet now, which we have not gotten used to as of yet. Our memories of her are fond ones as she was always in the center of things, whether it be swimming, going on long hikes or just snuggling with us on the couch or bed. She was a wonderful dog and she will be missed much, fondly remembered and very much loved”. ♥️🐾🌈

In Loving Memory of a sweet, tiny treasure named Holly♥️ 🐾

Holly brought an endless amount of joy to every moment. With her playful spirit, she had a knack for getting into things she probably shouldn’t, always keeping her family on their toes. Holly’s excitement was infectious - always ready to turn any day into an adventure.🥰
Rest peacefully, sweet Holly.♥️🐾 🌈
Our hearts are with her deeply devoted family during this time of loss. A heartfelt tribute from Holly’s loving family is included below:

“Rest in peace our sweet Holly pup. November 30, 2008-September 30, 2024.♥️
Holly was the most amazing and charismatic dog! Everyone who met her loved her. She could be a major snuggle pup, happily snoozing on your legs on the couch—but if you wanted to be active, she’d gladly run 5km with you and then come home to play fetch. Over the course of her 15 years and 10 months on earth, she ate more strange things than any dog I’ve ever known. Some highlights include at least 2 dozen pairs of my shoes, half a CD, a leather glove, a bag of dark chocolate Easter eggs, a bag of candy canes, a bowl of gummy frogs, and many many dandelions.
She loved to bark at anyone but always wagged her tail to tell them know she just wanted to play. She thought every visitor to the house was here to play fetch with her. Right up to her final days, she was still trying to play ball.
She loved to roll around in the grass on a sunny day, and to play in the snow, but often refused to go out in the rain. She was the strongest at tug of war with a rope, and would never let go even if you picked her off the ground holding the toy.
Our kids adored her and she loved them and was a great comfort to them. I don’t know what we will do without her.”♥️🐾🌈

In loving memory of sweet Pixie, a cherished companion and true member of the family. ♥️ Pixie wasn’t ‘just’ a cat—she was like a child, an inseparable part of every family adventure. Whether it was a weekend getaway or a longer road trip, Pixie came along sharing in the joy of family vacations. Her constant presence made each trip feel complete. 🥰🐾
Rest peacefully sweet Pixie - you will always be loved and never forgotten ♥️🐾🌈
Her devoted family has left some touching words in Pixie’s memory:

“When we started looking to get a kitten, 17 3/4 years ago, your face was the very first one that popped up on our computer screen. Immediately we knew that there was no need to look any further. We fell in love with you right then and there. We loved you even more when we met you in person and then even more when we brought you home.
Over the years that love has grown and grown. You have been and always will be our everything. Our baby girl; daughter; princess; companion; friend; confidante; cuddle bug (on your terms); travel mate; source of entertainment with your zoomies/energetic play/hi-jinx/constant chatter; and so much more.
Although we have had to say goodbye for now we want you to know that despite your no longer being with us physically you will forever remain in our hearts, thoughts, and memories. You are enormously missed.
Thank You to Dr. Vanessa and Heather for being there for us at a time we needed you most. We are so grateful that because of you we were able to be with Pixie, at home, during her final moments. The care, compassion, calmness, and gentleness you provided while helping Pixie pass comfortably and peacefully will always be remembered and very much appreciated.”
