Passed peacefully away surrounded by his lovely family, our precious Jack. For 16+ years he was a fierce protector of his territory, devoted to his family. Mealtime will never be the same. He waited patiently for the tap of a plate, knowing a dinner treat would be placed in his bowl. He had his people & knew where to run for a treat; across the garden or visiting neighbors with a treat bag. We know he’s running free in heaven’s garden with his friend, Skipper. Our family had been truly blessed.

Special thanks to Danni at Barking Beauties. Dr. Furey, Compassion at Home & Angel Paws. God bless.

I remember getting Scarlette at the SPCA. She horked a lot, sometimes I’d find little slug like hairballs around. She was gentle but fierce and knew how to defend her self. She was a queen. We don’t know what she went through but she had a few good years in the end. I never could have predicted she would only live 2 years more after adopting her. We believe Scarlette was sick before she was even adopted. Scarlette loved to sit on the patio rail, one time she even caught a bird by jumping off the patio from way up high. She caught so many dragonflies. I’m sorry Scarlette. I’m just glad you’re not in pain anymore. Scarlette loved sitting, sleeping, and lounging in cardboard boxes. She loved being brushed, having her ears cleaned, and her eyes washed.

Gizmo was our beloved grumpy 13 year old man, he was adopted in 2015 and has lived in all different areas of Newfoundland. He loved tubey treats and sunbathing on the back deck. Gizmo chose he who he loved and who he didn’t, hes our silly fat boy always wanting to eat grass. His purrs were like a old motor running but you felt the love of this chonky old man.

Til we meet again, Gizmo

You may think of Maggie as a dog, but she thought she was one of us, human. Trips to the dog park meant sitting on the bench getting all the attention from humans while watching the other dogs run around and play. Although being a golden retriever, she never bothered with water and swimming unless it came from the garden hose in which she would try to catch the water in her mouth. When going on walks she would always know when we were close to home. That’s when she would take the leash from us and carry it in her mouth, walking herself home. Maggie always loved attention and a good ear rub. She was a smart girl who learned how to trick us into giving her extra treats. Maggie was a big part of her siblings childhoods and made it extra special. She was certainly the queen of the house and her presence will be forever missed.

Ziggy was my soul mate; my beautiful best friend. He healed so much heartbreak in 13 years. I can hardly put into words the impact he has had on my life. I remember the day I brought him home at 6 weeks old on his little grey blanket. From that day on, we created a bond that was unique and unbreakable. Ziggy would sleep with me every night, laying on my chest. He followed me everywhere I went, enjoyed lounging in the garden with me, watching movies together, even taking baths together (yes it’s true!) He sensed all of my emotions and always cheered me up with his gentle purr or a soft kiss. The loss I feel for you Ziggy is profound. I will never forget you, never replace you, and will never feel whole again. I love you so much, my Bug, my Bubs, my Love.

Ruby was adopted from the SPCA in 2012 as a puppy and spent 13 wonderful years with her family. She was down for every adventure and often could be found walking Southbrook Trail or sniffing out a piece of food someone left behind. Ruby was a puppy heart even until her last days with us. She will be forever missed!

My sweet, sweet Rafa, how I miss you.

All memories of you are our favourite; I loved that you had momma so well trained, I knew every bark and whine as if it was my second language. Rafa was the biggest personality in the room at a weight of 8 pounds, Rafa ruled the home with the same ferocity he ruled our hearts, we’re lost without you but so thankful that you stayed for 14 and half years, and that we got to love you every day of each year. Although I wish I had more time, I know that you were finally able to run again and that pai was at the rainbow bridge waiting to take you for the biggest walk.
I will love you forever and ever Rafi, thank you for loving us so much
