Marley was just sweet, he loved everyone, was always happy and playful, always looked like he was smiling. I remember when we picked him up to bring him into foster care with Collie Rescue. He jumped into the back seat of my car, laid down, let out a long breath and slept all the way home, not even a peep. He knew he was safe, and we knew this beautiful boy would spend the rest of his life being loved and cared for. We miss him terribly but he was tired and needed to say goodbye to us and his sister Annie.

13 years of memories. The softest coat, the happiest bark with the best helicopter tail. She was high on life and happy to do anything. A party girl in her younger years, and always up for a late night drive.
She became a mom to her & Willy’s pups, a good mom.
She had a very special bond with her dad. We left apartment life and moved to our new house. She loved this house!

A great bedside nurse for 2 surgeries and lots of sick days. We had the best summer last year. A Saturday fight night buddy. She loved watching mma with her family. Late nights on the deck with just me and you.
A great listener and even better cuddle buddy. A best friend. A once in a lifetime dog. Our trio is down to two. Nothing will be the same without our Winny girl. She will be missed forever.
Winny woo, the Pompano.

When you were eating chips she would just keep looking at you until you gave her some.
She would always come running when you whistle as if she was a dog lol. Even her meow most of the time sounded more like a bark . She was the sweetest cat anyone could ever hope to have as a companion. I could go on all day talking about my sweet angel . She’s forever loved deeply by her family and now thanks to Angel Paws , she will be with us forever

Kayleigh came into my life via the Hamilton Burlington SPCA in 2010, when they found her tied up and left in a field, and they nursed her back to health. But that one horrible act would wind up giving us both nearly 14 years of love and joy.

She was always a quiet girl, a “purple dog” according to the SPCA’s colour coding system… except for the times she would come home from a walk and got the zoomies in the yard.

She never much cared for other dogs… she didn’t mind them, but she loved people because people have pockets and pockets have treats, and Kayleigh never met a treat she didn’t like. She also never met a French fry or a burger she didn’t like. Kayleigh lived to eat.

She was my constant companion for many years, lying on her bed in my office while I worked from home. I was her person, and she went everywhere I could take her. She saw me through good times and bad and I often wondered who rescued whom?

She fell in love with my husband, Nigel, and once he had her seal of approval, we became a family and he fell in love with her, too. It was impossible not to love her sweet, gentle soul. She especially loved my mom and dad, her Uncle Brian and Auntie Val, and her Auntie Wendy and her Auntie Katie…and once you were part of her pack, she would show you by dragging her bed to the front door and barricading you into the house, so you could not leave without her knowledge and say so.

She loved car rides and generally being wherever we were. “Wanna go car ride?” was always met with jumping and running to the door, with boundless excitement, and if she sensed we were going anywhere (and she always could) she would camp out by the front door so that we would not leave her behind.

Our world is a quieter and emptier place without her gentle snorts, soft sighs and tippetty-tapping feet on our floors.

Mama and Nigel will love and miss you always, Sweet Pea, but you will live in our hearts for ever and for always. I am grateful for every day of the nearly 14 years I got to be your mama. You are, and always will be, Mama’s best girl.

There are so many great memories but one of my favourite is the day we got her from the spca, flounder looked so sad but she wasn’t long warming up to us and becoming a cuddle bug! She was apart of so much and meant something to each one of my family members! She was always there to cheer you up with some cuddles. I’ll miss seeing her wait at the door for me when I get home work and that sweet meow.
