Some of our favourite memories with Henry are:

Picking him up in New Brunswick, how small he was.

Playing with him on the floor with his orange ball.

He loved being in the sun for hours taking in the daylight.

Just sitting on the couch after a long day and him between us and just being there with him.

Looking out the window.

Stormy was a loyal companion who loved being where his hoomans were. He loved sniffing every inch of the outdoors and zooming around, especially when it snowed! He enjoyed car rides (especially when he could put his head out the window) and sharing treats, adventures of all kinds and playing around. He was a goofy boy who always had love and licks to give. He used his voice (aroooo!) to communicate his happiness, and it was just as adorable as his handsome face. We will always remember our good boy. Love you forever fren.

Joey came in our lives after we lost our dog. The house felt empty and we were sad and lonely. He filled the home immediately. He had some quirky ways and was pretty nervous. He loved it when it was just us and Penny, his dog sister relaxing in the quiet. Losing him is a loss we will never forget. We miss our boy so much. RIP sweet boy!

Casey came into our home curled up in a blanket on my chest, and that remained his absolute favorite place to be for nearly eleven years. He may have been smaller than his big brother but Toby knew who was boss. Our children knew it too and they adored him just as much, whether they were secretly sharing snacks with him or quietly carrying him off to bed to sleep by their side.
Though we know the goodbye is always inevitable, we were completely unready for it to come so soon. Yet, there is a comfort in knowing that his journey ended right where it began – resting safely in the warmth of my arms.
“We have loved you your whole life, and we will miss you for the rest of ours.”

There are so many memories! She enjoyed everything, as long as she was with us. Piper was patient and gentle with our kids. She was crazy if you said want to go in the car or for a walk, she loved being outside. She always did the head tilt when she was spoken to. She was the best dog anyone could ask for!

Butters and I have been companions since she was a kitten in 2009. I had many different living situations, different roommates, different animals, constant change but it did not stop us from forming a very, very strong bond. I always came with a side of Butters, no matter what.

Only until I met Jordan did we eventually find the means to settle down into our forever-life and give Butters a more comfortable life for her golden years. Our now trio would move in together and Butters and Jordan quickly became coworkers and best friends, spending every day together because Jordan works from home. He loved her just as much as I and she loved him back. I saw it every day. Butters and I knew we would be ok for the rest of our days with Jordan.

We soon adopted Zelda and welcomed her into our family, and together we formed traditions that only the 4 of us shared. Halloween, Easter, Summer, Fall traditions, you name it. We have something for every occasion that is unique to us. Be it an activity, or a simple phrase to say in a silly voice to each other, tradition and making lasting memories is the theme. “Time for bedtime Bussers!”

If you knew Butters, you knew how she was social, gorgeous, and always willing to make the room laugh by laying on top of the board game while we were playing. She was considered an icon among the friend group, and even family and coworkers would always ask how she was doing. When she had a Sweet 16 birthday party in 2025, Jordan and I were absolutely amazed by how many friends and family showed up to give gifts and celebrate Butters. She had an impact, no matter the size, on everyone she knew. Our parents from back home even sent them Christmas gifts and stockings. We are forever greateful for your appreciation of how much we loved our little girls.

Those who know Jordan and I understand the emotion and sorrow we feel as we navigate forward in a world without Butters, but she is forever in all of our hearts with loving memories and traditions that will live on in her honor.

Thank you Angel Paws for taking care of her.

Until we meet again. I love you, honey bear.

-Matt

We spent every day together and it’s going to be so weird to adjust to not having him around at all times. He was such a lazy, spoiled boy and basically my shadow; where ever my room was, his room was. It’s hard to pick one standout memory, but just having him and being able to hold and cuddle him was so important to me. I don’t think I’ll ever feel as connected to another animal as I did my needy little man. I’ll always love and remember you, Optimus, my sweet man.

Ginny was my beautiful baby girl. She was the best fur baby I could ever have wished to have. I first met her 8 years ago and it was love at first sight. In no time we became inseparable. Wherever I went, she followed, and the odd time when I couldn’t take her with me, I counted the minutes until I would be back home with her again. We had an unbreakable bond which will continue until we meet again. I have so many memories of my beautiful little princess. Whenever our next door neighbor and her dog Radar would come by for a visit, Radar would always eat up Ginny’s food and treats. Radar is a big dog, but Ginny had no problem letting him know that you don’t touch what is hers. She would let him know that she wasn’t impressed and would walk right up to him, face to face, and let out a huge growl. Radar would instantly step back and realized that you don’t fool with this little toy poodle. I have many memories of going on long walks with Ginny and even if I was getting tired and wanted to turn back, I knew that unless she was ready we weren’t doing that. I also loved it when she wanted to cuddle. Sometimes she would press her little fluffy body into me on the sofa and sometimes when she really wanted to have a good snuggle, I would pick her up in my arms and she would wrap her two little soft paws around my neck. This is what I loved so much and couldn’t get enough of. She always knew when I was sad or had a hard day and she would come to me and make me feel like everything was going to be ok. Ginny made everything ok for me. She was my world!
