Niyak “Niyak was born in the dead of winter in

Niyak

“Niyak was born in the dead of winter in the high Arctic on an undetermined day in 2005. Stubborn and unappreciative are the only words that can describe her first few years on this earth, but she eventually blossomed into the most loyal puppy I could have ever asked for.

This dog gave me more joy in my life than I could have ever given to her, and there will be a void in my heart for some time; she truly was the perfect companion. She had a great life filled with swimming in dirty ponds, licking 3 of her paws obsessively, rolling around in dead animals, going on long walks everywhere, hanging her head out of windows on car rides, shedding fur every damn day of her life, and making friends wherever she went. But, her time with me had been coming for awhile and this morning I had to say goodbye. I take solace in the fact that she will be remembered by many.....and what is always remembered never truly dies.”

Friday and Zoey

Friday was my constant side-kick, he went everywhere with me. And Zoey gave such emotional support to my daughter. They were always there with love and comfort and entertainment. We will always miss them.

Luna 11/27/05/2012- 01/20/2021

In loving memory of our crazy, over protective, ball of energy, regal princess, Lu Lu. You were everything a great Dane was not suppose to be. But we embraced all the chaos because we fell head over heels for you the moment we brought you into our home. You were a big presence in our lives, one that will never be forgotten and one that will take a very long time to heal. But I know you are ripping through the clouds protecting us from above. You will always have a place in our hearts and forever live on in our memories and trillions of photos.

Born Sept 17 2008 at the Carsonby Kenney’s and runt of the litter. Put to rest Jan 18 2021. She’s in the flower bed where she used to hide behind the peony’s, the under the front window she loved to look out of. Can’t begin to tell you how empty the house is now. She had to be part of everything. “Miss Nosy”. I so miss her

We hope wherever you are there are squirrels to chase, sun for your tummy, smell-filled walks, and grass to roll in. We hope there are treats to find, bunnies to play with, and the water is shallow. And most of all we hope you have a big blue chair so you can watch the world and keep an eye on the family who loves you. Thank you for being part of our lives for almost 10 years. Goodbye sweet girl. We will miss you forever. Vale.

Alex, you were such a special cat, with your stomping walk, the loudest purr, and your gentle way of draping yourself across us. Thank you for the love you brought into our lives. We will forever miss playing fetch with you, having you come get us when it was time for bed, falling asleep to your sounds of utter contentment, and that little paw of yours that was always stretched out to rest on us. We fell in love with you at first sight, and your gentle soul always seemed to know when we needed comfort. Our hearts are broken, but we know that your suffering is over. Thanks to Claire Place, you got to spend your last moments in your favorite spot and with your brother and favorite humans. Rest well.

Flower

December 16, 2011 – January 11, 2021

Adopted into our family on December 16, 2011. We went to choose a cat. Instead, she chose us, climbing up one of our arms and curling up around the back of the neck, loudly purring. Over the 9 years we enjoyed her sweet cuddles, especially in bed, curled up under a chin or sleeping nose to nose. With the loss of our dog, Tess, a few months ago, she was a bit lost and sought us out even more. She had such a lovely and loving personality and we miss her terribly. Always in our hearts. A special thanks to Dr. Dorothy and Claire Place for making the leave-taking a gentle and compassionate experience in the comfort of our home.

Haggis

January 1, 2008 - January 12, 2021

Our sweet, gentle girl joined us just after our youngest daughter, Quincy, was born. Our family grew up with Haggis and she added so much joy and love to our lives. She loved to be right by (or under) our feet, especially if she thought we might have some food of any kind! Any crumb that fell (or was thrown) to the floor was immediately hers. Daddy's constant and loyal companion, she stood watch by the door, waiting for him to come home, whenever he left. She dutifully went down every slide in our neighborhood with Quincy, even though she didn't exactly enjoy it. Haggis was our very protective guard dog, always barking at dogs 10x her size, to protect us wherever we went. Haggis has shown our family the purest form of unconditional love and will remain in our hearts forever.

A special thanks to Claire Place for providing this service to our family.

Kolby

Adopted: March 2016 from Loyal Rescue (born in 2007)

Kolby came into his mommies’ lives in March 2016 when he was adopted from Loyal Rescue, and he immediately became the centre of their entire world. The past years together were happy and loving, filled with endless cuddles, so much affection and many family adventures. Kolby was the sweetest, craziest dog that his mommies have ever known – adoring, affectionate and loving with a good size of terrier-terror. God help anyone who tried to touch any of his countless babies or get in his way when he saw a banana (bizarrely, his favourite treat ever). Kolby had many health issues from the beginning, and started to decline in the last couple of months of his life. He had a peaceful, quiet passing at home, wrapped in the arms of both of his moms, after chasing a bunny rabbit, cuddling with his mommies and gorging on bananas and chicken. His moms will be forever grateful to Loyal Rescue for helping us to find each other, and to Claire Place for helping him with a peaceful passage at home. He was a good boy, the best boy, with the sweetest eyes, the most handsome smile, and the best ears ever. Run free, sweet Kolby. We will miss you for the rest of our lives. Love your forever mommies, Melissa and Chantel.

Kai was the alpha in our pack, always the one to keep the other pups in line and make sure no one was left behind. His copper eyes held so much wisdom and his bond with his daddy was like no other. He will be kept alive in our hearts and through the many happy memories we have with him. Until we meet again... ❤️

We had to say goodbye to our sweetest Gibby after 12 years of snuggles. He had a bright, social and incredibly loving personality that made every person he met feel special. His favourite things were snuggles, belly rubs and slow blinks. He was a great big brother to Gabby the cat and the most tolerant, caring guardian of our toddler. He was truly one of a kind and will never leave our hearts. So thankful we were able to give him the beautiful and peaceful goodbye that he deserved.

Rupert

Born: June 28, 2010

Died: January 13, 2021

Rupert was one of the sweetest and gentlest dogs we have ever owned. Always happy, and had a tail that constantly wagged. He was friends to all. Rupert loved car rides, trips to the cottage, going for walks, his treat ball, his fur brothers and sisters, and especially his favourite doggy cousin Summer and family who he stayed with during our annual winter get-away.

We’ll miss you Rupert more than you will ever know, and you will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Special thanks to Dr. Isabelle and Karen for their dignity and caring during such a difficult time in losing our beloved boy.

Chocolate

Chocolate came to us 12 years ago from a rescue organization that removed her from a kill shelter. She was scheduled to be euthanized the next day, she was roughly 1-2 years old.

Chocolate joined our family only a few months before welcoming our first child. She was loving, sweet, kind, and loyal; always giving of her time and attention. She never missed a snack time, family outing, long walk, tobogganing in the backyard, trip to the cottage or nighttime story and bedtime tuck-in. In a way she grew up with her boys but was also an extra watchful eye and protector of them. When people asked what kind of dog she was, I would tell them the "good" kind. Her presence is dearly missed in our house, I'm fortunate however with the help of Claire Place Veterinary Hospice that we could send her off with the kind of love and kindness she always showed to us.

I am thankful to her for being my unbelievable companion for 12 years, but more than that I will be forever grateful to her for showing two young boys the joy and unconditional love that an amazing animal can bring to your life. For that I will be eternally grateful that she chose us to be her family.

Miss you forever good girl, your family.

FRITZ

24-07-08 --30-12-20

You joined our little family on April 27, 2018 and we became fast friends. Such a big personality in that tiny little body of yours I could hardly believe it. You were feisty and full of energy with such a fear of missing out that you followed me everywhere you could. I miss having you by my side and sometimes even think I still see you.
Our time together was too short and I would not have traded it for anything. Losing you was one of the saddest things I have experienced and knowing that you left this world with love and in peace makes all the difference. Take care little bear, mommy loves you.

Good dogs are with us for a little while to teach us how to love like it's our job... because it is.

Our Snooty McSnootface, our Dingo Chipotle, our Kasha-bean, thank you for over 13 years of unconditional love, laughter, and companionship. You were the best co-pilot in so many adventures, and an amazing big sister to the kids. We know you're out there enjoying beautiful trails, fresh snow, cozy snoozes by the fire, and all the cheese, cauliflower, and oreos you can eat! Until we meet again, sweetheart.

Chewy

Only the good die young.
We unexpectedly had to say goodbye to our poor boy Chewy yesterday. We found out after a vet appointment on Tuesday night that Chewy was very sick and is such a tough boy, had shown no symptoms. He gave us so much love every single day and we miss him so very much. He impacted the lives of many of our friends and family by showing them the same love he gave to us. He was the best boy we could have ever asked for. Chewy was our number one. See you in our dreams ChewChew

Dear Family and Friends, It is with a heavy hear

Dear Family and Friends,

It is with a heavy heart that we share with you that our dear Mako died peacefully, at home, alongside us, under the compassionate care of Dr. Dorothy and the Claire Place Veterinary Hospice on Friday, January 8, 2021.

We loved him with all our heart, and though the pain we feel without him is great, it in no way would compare to having never had him in our life. Besides the four of us, Mako leaves behind his sister little Whiskey (which he was kind of fond of ;) ), his loving grandparents who loved their ‘Granddogger’, his cousins Mia, Milo, Luna, Dallas and Sumi; fence-buddy Oli; neighbour Bob with whom he had many fence-chats as well as all his human extended family including the amazing team at Chapel Hill Grooming.

Mako has made his way over the rainbow bridge to be with our Sweet Vegas where we know they have reunited with immense love and joy.

Rest in Peace Dear Mako.

In honour of Mako, give your dog or pet an extra hug, belly rub, and treat.

With broken hearts,

Eric, Tess, Emma and Alyssa
