In memory of Mylo..........

On September 18th was the saddest day for all of us. You brought so much love and joy into our lives. You were the best Christmas present and for the past 11 1/2 years we loved you unconditionally. We will always remember your special personality and all the funny things that you would do. This time of year was your favourite. You loved playing in the snow and unwrapping your and our gifts. You are missed so much by us and every one that knew you. You took a piece of our hearts when you left. We will forever love and miss our handsome boy Mylo 🐾💕

In memory of Nala..........

Nala has been a part of my life since she was a puppy. She has always been the sweetest, gentlest soul and people would stop me all the time when walking her, just to pat her and tell her how beautiful she was. The only things larger than her head and feet were her heart and love for everyone. I miss you my sweet baby girl ❤️

In memory of Biscuit..........

This past July we sadly had to say goodbye to our sweet girl Biscuit. 10 years ago she came to us as a rescue. She arrived in our home for a day visit and landed straight into our hearts and never left. 💜 Biscuit loved her walks and laying in the grass soaking up the sun. She will be missed by us all so much. As we approach the Christmas season we are reminded of the fun we had shopping for her stocking and wrapping presents just for her. She loved all the special treats she got. This time of year just won’t be the same. 😢
RIP sweet girl

In memory of Toby..........

It's been almost 6 months since we had to suddenly say goodbye, and even now we still talk to you every day. You came into our lives over 10 years ago a scared, fearful guy with a traumatic past and we thought we'd be the ones to rescue you, but little did we knew that you were there to rescue us. You brought so love and joy to us, your brothers Monty & Riley, you thought me so much about patience and always reminding me to take your time to "smell the flowers" - literally! Your experience made me want to help other dogs and I work with an animal rescue and continue to do it because of you. The house will never be the same without you, your silliness, love of life and pure love to those who loved you ❤️ You were truly an angel without wings on earth and we are honored to have been a part of your life, to have known your gentle soul and to have loved you. You will be forever missed.

In memory of one of our very own, Blackberry...........

🌈 In Loving Memory of Blackberry 🐾

This holiday season, our family said goodbye to our beloved dog, Blackberry, who celebrated his 17th birthday in October. Even as a veterinarian, making the decision for him while wearing my doctor hat didn’t shield me from the worry, doubt, and sadness that all pet parents face when it’s time to say goodbye.

Blackberry was more than just a dog—he was my faithful doorbell and alarm system for many years, always the first to alert me to a visitor (or a squirrel). Some of you may have been greeted by him barking a 'hello' if you stopped by my home-office. He also had a knack for slipping through the yard's defences—earning him the nickname "Houdini"—and for keeping me humble as a vet when I had to go find him (often with some embarrassment!). He was our alarm clock, our greeter, and our forever snuggler.

He was a steadfast companion to our many other pets over the years, and a gentle elder to our two younger cats, Malcolm and Atticus, who are grieving along with us.

We were so grateful to be able to give Blackberry the gift of a peaceful goodbye at home, in his favourite spot, surrounded by those who loved him. This is something we wish for all families who must say goodbye to their beloved pets.

Losing a pet is never easy, no matter how many times you've guided others through it. Blackberry’s life was long and full, and his presence will be deeply missed in our home.

Run free, Blackberry. Run free like someone left the gate open! 💕

In memory of Dock..........

Today, we celebrate the life of my precious boy, who filled every moment with love, comfort, and joy. You were more than just a cat—you were my heart, my companion, and my calm in the storm. Though you are no longer here, your spirit lives on in every memory and every corner of my life. I will miss you forever, but today, I smile for the love we shared and the happiness you brought. Rest easy, my beautiful boy

In memory of Rukus..........

I can honestly say I miss Rukus everyday. I suppose that shows the impact he had on our lives and how much he was loved. I have attached a picture of Rukus (although my phone is still full of photos of him lol)
We have a garden ornament in his memory as well💙

Thank you again for your kindness and compassion during a difficult time. It made a world of difference.

In memory of Crush and TBone..........

Our 2 cats, Crush and TBone, were litter mates and almost 19 years old when we had to say goodbye to them.
Crush was a loveable male orange cat with a bit of, let’s call it brattiness. When he was younger, his favourite perch would be on people’s shoulders. He would wind himself around the back of your neck and lay there for as long as you would let him.
TBone was a sweet, loving female tabby. She liked to keep to herself, but would demand attention when she wanted it. In her younger years, she was our little Meerkat. She would sit up on her hind legs and swipe her front legs, crossed in front of her, up and down, begging for attention.
They were both amazing pets and are missed greatly. They left a litter mate behind and Soda Pop, another male orange cat, is still going strong.

In Memory of Marlee..........

Remembering our time everyday from your puppy days and first birthday to your last breath. You were my favorite hello and my hardest goodbye. I miss you everyday, my little love. You changed my life when you came into and again when you left it. I can only hope I made you as happy as you made me. My soul dog, Marlee. Always remembered and forever loved.

Thank you Dr Ruthanne for your kindness, compassion and for helping Marlee cross over peacefully.

In memory of Cinder Ella..........

I was blessed to have a best friend in my precious Cinder Ella. I first met Cindy, as she came to be called by the whole family, or Cindy Loo, just before Christmas 12 years ago... This beautiful little fur soul was my December 26 birthday present from my precious daughters... and she was the best birthday gift I have ever received!

Cindy was a kissy, playful, loving ball of black fluff with the sweetest brown eyes and pinkest tongue! Cindy and I moved from Alberta to Quebec to Southern Ontario to Kawartha Lakes...we lived in houses, an RV, and a tiny home together. We loved hiking, ATVing, road trips and adventures, swimming, and cuddling.

Cindy adored her older brother Charlie Brown (cocker spaniel) who passed before her, her fur sister Callie (calico cat), and her younger brother, Jetson (bernedoodle). But most of all, Cindy loved me! We had a wonderful 11 years together! I loved her deeply and I miss her... She blessed my life 💝

In memory of Vinny..........

June 26th will forever be one of the saddest and hardest days of my life.
I've had loss but not like this one.

Yano we get these little baby balls of fluff never truly knowing just how much we needed them. How much they change you for the better. I may not have always been the best for him but he was the best for me . He came into my life when I needed him the most and he drove me f***ing crazy 😁
There were times where he was all I had. I'd talk his ears off and sing him into hiding 🤪
We have gone through some stuff together him and I but we ended up right where we were supposed to be !

To the people who love him , had patience with him and understood or didnt really care about his weirdo bu****it, I thank you and I love you.
Vinny had no choice with a few , they loved him up like it or not.
Some aggressively ,with their whole heart and body ( my Julia) lol ❤️
I always felt guilty that he was an oddball but I've come to realize he's just like me , he simply doesn't like everyone lol I don't blame him.

I'm gunna miss my little F***tard , my monkey butt , my zoomie master , my baby.
His farts would clear rooms and his antics would have us laughing and or shaking our heads in disbelief.
Maybe even crying a little lol
Sorry sister (Laura 💋 😆 )

He is the best sport. My velcro baby. Mr coocoo bananas. He gives the best hugs and loves me like no other. At times I didn't think I deserved him but he's the bestest love of my life.

Vinny aka Wtf Vinny !
You are the best soul no matter what they say and will always be my whole heart.

"Though some may say "it's just a pet" I know I've lost a friend"

❤️

In memory of Little Guy..........
I think of and miss Little Guy every single day. I got him 20 years ago after one of our cats got outside and didn’t come back… however that cat came back and then we had THREE cats! Little Guy was so loveable. He was with me through some difficult times from breakups to cancer to 15 surgeries as well as welcoming my miracle baby son who was born in January 2024. I’m so thankful he got to meet the new addition and made sure I was okay before he passed away.
I love him so much and would give anything to have him back with me

In remembrance of Kobe…

November 8 has been one year since our beloved Kobe has left us. Kobe was my best friend, teacher, and heart dog. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss you or think about you. Your presence was a huge part of our lives. You lived everyday to the fullest.
Was heaven here with you.

In memory of Jerry..........

It’s been a few months now since we've had to say goodbye, and even now we cannot go a day without thinking of you. You are such a special dog. For over 14 years you were the apple of your parents’ eyes, the sweet, shy, reserved soul with the heart of gold. Everywhere, I mean everywhere we went people asked, “what kind of dog is that?” I’ll tell you what kind of dog he was; Jerry was light, love, and happiness – and also an Ibizan Hound for those who wished to know. He was a special breed and special dog. When he came to us after his adoption, he was afraid of women, but he adored his dad early on. As his mom, I made it my mission to win him over. I spoiled him with love, trust and treats and eventually he became my best bud. We learned his favourite things were bacon, cheese, his squeaky furry ball, being brushed, and hugged and petted by the people he loved. His least favourite thing was going in the car - ironic for a dog. When we took this pooch home that very first time, he got car sick immediately and consistently throughout the four-hour drive home. My husband and I said, “what have we gotten ourselves into?” We laugh about that day now and cherish it. The best description of Jerry’s life is this: he loved and was loved.

Today, we honour all the brave souls who served for our freedom—both human and animal alike. Alongside soldiers, countless animals played vital roles throughout history, demonstrating loyalty, courage, and resilience.

From horses that carried troops and supplies, to messenger pigeons that delivered life-saving messages, to dogs that detected explosives and provided comfort to soldiers—each has left an indelible mark on the story of our freedom. Their unwavering service reminds us of the extraordinary bonds that unite us.

This Remembrance Day, let us remember and give thanks to all who served, on two legs, four legs, and wings alike. Lest we forget. 🕊️❤️
