Miss her meowing, greeting us at the door, miss her pretty face. Pretty was so lovable & she was forever thankful to be rescued. She was lucky to be alive when we found her. She loved chasing Dereck around the house & he even had her chase her tail (like Keisha used to do). Keisha (black lab/cross) was our furbaby that we had when we found Pretty. Pretty loved Keisha & was devastated when we had to let her go. Layla now is feeling the loss of Pretty. She’s no longer in pain, so we have to remember that to keep us going. I bet Pretty was happy to see Keisha & my Nan at the Rainbow Bridge. We love & miss you forever Pretty. Thank you Angel Paws for the beautiful gifts in memory of our precious Pretty.

In her heyday Mirabella was unstoppable with a zest for life that far outshone her physical size. She was so smart, agile and quick, especially when a frisbee or ball was in play!

With a heart full of adventure she lived life to its fullest. From pulling dog sled in winter to running free in the open spaces of Labrador, to splashing along the beaches of Newfoundland, she embraced every moment with boundless enthusiasm. She was happiest off-leash, roaming through the woods, exploring every trail with her endless curiosity and joy. Her love for water was unmatched; swimming, running through rivers and brooks or chasing the spray from the water hose. She loved it all and was such a joy to watch.

Our hearts are forever changed by the memories she gave us—the laughter, the adventures, the quiet times. We will never forget her spirit, her gentle heart, and the countless ways she made our lives better.

Run free, sweet Mirabella, our unstoppable “baby girl”. You were loved beyond words, and you will be missed beyond measure.

Ella you brought so much happiness and love to our lives for the past 15 years. You were brought into a house with two kids who adored you from day one and the love only grew through out the years and they love you more even as adults. You were our constant sidekick through the good times and the bad. You loved us no matter what. Saying good bye was so difficult for us all but we know you are not suffering anymore and at peace. Thanks for the memories sweet girl and the unconditional love. We will love and miss you forever Mom’s girl xoxo

Bringing you home with your brother Steve for the first time. Watching you get comfortable, find your squeaky voice (but mainly your rumbles) and handling all of your mischief. Every time you would popcorn or week for salad. The rare moments you and Steve would have that were actually sweet, instead of you bugging him all day. The last night we spent together, knowing I was your last memory as you fell asleep in my arms. Eddie, you were my most vocal piggy in terms of all the rumble sass you would give everybody. I will miss that constant sound, I love you so so much my boy. I hope you’re getting all the treats up there, I’ll see you later.

Hearing him meowing loudly at me on the other side of the door every time I came home from work. He was always eager to show me he missed me while I was gone. He’d rub up against me, purr loudly, and raise his head high for pets. When he did, his mouth would open just enough for this breathy happy purr sound to come out.

Once upon a time I walked into the CBS animal shelter and was greeted by the sweetest little Calico cat. She followed me everywhere that visit and has ever since. She knew she was mine from the moment we met.

Cali became the epitome of a lap cat. Whether I was crocheting, reading, watching tv, catching a nap, outside chatting, etc – if I was still, she was up with me. Even when my pregnant belly made it hard, she’d curl around it and find a way. She loved to curl up on anything actually, especially an unmade bed or load of clean clothes

She was a gentle cat, wouldn’t hurt a soul (was half afraid of her own shadow) and was a fantastic little camper kitty.

If she ever went missing or stayed outside too long, just bring out the treat bag. She would not pass that up ever. And she was always underfoot during meals (if not actually sitting in one of the chairs, her little head poking over the table to keep an eye out for abandoned food).

She became sick and passed on far too young. Cali was only 10, I was not prepared to see her go so soon.

Cali-Bear, I am going to miss you so much. Being home now without you greeting me and climbing on my lap is still an adjustment and I will miss that and you forever. Curl up all cozy on a blanket now until we meet again.

Favourite memories:

Unfortunately, our time with Pumpkin was quite short. For the week and a half we were blessed by her presence, it was great. In fostering her for adoption, we spent a lot of time laying with her, praising her, and feeding her in order to build her strength and confidence. She felt very at home.

With our memories being limited together, our most cherished was on Halloween night. We were back and forth with both Pumpkin and Baby Boo as her official name, so we found it fitting to carve a pumpkin with the name Boo on it.

Although she passed the day before Halloween, her little light shone within her pumpkin, her name etched for all trick-or-treaters to see. She was surrounded by her family then as she now surrounds our hearts forever.

Gone, but never forgotten. We will love you always – unconditionally and endlessly.

Josie peacefully crossed the Rainbow Bridge on November 2nd, 2024.
She is predeceased by her human grandpa, doggy siblings River and Roxy, feathered-siblings Kiwi, Chico, and Omar. She is also predeceased by other hamster siblings: Hammie, Nutmeg, Oso, and Geronimo.
Leaving to mourn with loving memories is her mom, Emily. Her Nana, Ann, and her two uncles, Aaron and Joey. She also leaves behind loving siblings: Rupaul, Jimmy, Hugo, and Holly.
Josie was the most loving little girl with huge personality. Her family will miss her tremendously.

“I fit in a pocket,
I’m little and quick,
My fur is so fluffy, silky and thick.
My eyes fill with joy, when you give me my gifts..
My treats, my seeds, and my wheel to keep fit.
My heart is so tiny, but don’t you forget,
My love remains with you- its just infinite.
I’m only on earth for a short little time,
A pocket angel is my true duty prime.
I teach you to love, to care ’till the end.
As tiny as I, your loyal fur friend.
The day will come when I have to float on, our time will seem short and not very long.
My gift to you- will always be
A love so true for infinity
Thank you for being the bestest to me,
The warmest pocket this fur angel ever did see!”
– Unknown

Love you forever, Josie!
