From the first night we spent together to the last morning I said goodbye, you changed my life forever. You taught me so much about life, love, responsibility, and friendship. You were with me in my darkest of days, and there with a smile when the sun came out. Your excitement for life, and everything in it, makes me want to stay young forever. You were more then a pet to me, you were my roommate, my son, my best friend.
I love you, and always will.

My faithful dog and loyal friend. 17 years we’ve shared, through good times and tough times, happy times, and sad ones too. You taught me tenacity, and determination. I need only the strength and courage to live your lessons. You showed me the mountain I had to climb. I still have many lessons to learn in my life path, but I’m humbled by you and what you’ve shared. I was blessed to have you in my life.

Jake, you were sensitive and intelligent, willfull and intuitive. You had the will to always see another day, even when your body was old and tired, until you just couldn’t do it any longer.

Jake, you are gone in body, but I know your spirit lives on. You’re gone, but not lost, and never ever forgotten. I miss you and love you.

I miss your cuddles, I miss waking up at 5 am to your ‘yawning’ and ear shakies. I miss being booted around in my own bed so you could get comfortable. And I miss waking up with you puffing, snoring and drooling in my ear.

I miss your awesome bed-making skills which clearly far surpassed my own- as you could not resist re-making it every morning after I was finished. Thank you for your help. I try to replicate your style, but it’s never the same.

You have quite the entourage waiting for you, my baby, I am sure Great-Grandad has renamed you by now, as he is bound to do. I hope all the toys you have destroyed are there waiting for you- along with lots of strawberries. You are always with me. I am looking forward to the day that I will be able to hold you again.

I’m just a little black rain cloud,
hovering under the honey tree,
I’m only a little black rain cloud,
pay no attention to me.
Everyone knows that a rain cloud
never eats honey, no, not a nip.
I’m just floating around,
over the ground,
wondering where I will drip.  

Loki, with your wrinkled brow and soulful brown eyes, you taught us more about compassion and trust than anyone ever could. You brought so much joy and happiness to our lives and for that we are forever grateful. We miss the wonderful snuggles you would give, the cute grunting noises you would make when you were comfortable in our arms and the happy dance you would do when you would greet us at the door. Our lives won’t be the same without you, but our memories carry us forward and we smile whenever we think about you.

Disease may have crippled your body little one, but your spirit kept strong. Myasthenia gravis and heart disease may have immobilized you, but your tail wagged to the very end. You’ll be missed, but fondly remembered by all those who knew and loved you. Run with the wind sweet girl!

The loveable Remmy with the longest tongue! You are still treasured by your family, and are remembered often. You were much too young to be dealt the fate of cancer, but you took it like a trooper, right to the very end. Many are honoured to have known you, and you are missed dearly.

On August 13, 2006 Corey’s life was tragically stolen from us. Corey was a warm hearted young man who touched the lives of everyone he met, his memory, his smile and his laughter will live on in the hearts and thoughts of his many friends and family.

Donations will go to the making of a memorial bench for Corey and all the extra funds will go to HugABull, from Corey’s beloved Taz. 

The short, snorting, pigalicious, Piggy. You were the best cuddler ever, and even in the short time you were in our care, you made your foster home smile daily. We are sorry you didn’t get to stay with us longer. Our decision to let you pass is still a painful one, and you are thought of often.

Sweet, sweet Stella. You were an absolute doll, and found a home that couldn’t have loved you more. They did everything they could to get you better, but knew you wouldn’t be able to live a healthy and happy life. You were taken far too young, but were loved more than you will ever know! Rest in peace, sweet girl!
