There are too many favorite memories. She was our only baby. She ruled the house. She was spoiled rotten. Her dad would torment her and she would grunt at him – that was always funny. Her mom will forever miss her kisses and cuddles.

Pet parents: Tanya and Dan
Siblings: only child
Favourite toys: knitted mice filled with catnip
Birth/gotcha date: 2010-09-01
Death date: 2026-02-10
Favourite Activity: Cuddling with her mom, and wrestling with her dad
Favourite food: Wet canned and her treat (she was also allowed to have some boiled fresh cod or salmon, and turkey breast on special occassions)
Least favourite thing: people. She hated having guests, and she showed them in no uncertain terms that this was her house, and this is her spot on the couch, and you don’t get to sit there
Friends: She loved when her cousin Tyson would come visit. He would rub her belly and give her treats

She ever so gently sniffed the babies when we brought them home.
She moved 9 times, eventually finally getting the house with the big fenced yard.

She ran and hiked all over – along the trails, woods and beaches, often while reluctantly wearing boots or doggie snowpants.
She often fell asleep sitting up while waiting for a slow motion nibble of our last bite.

She is somewhere in the background in the majority of our camera roll.
She was unconditional love during the hard years of loss & infertility.
She loved being chased when it was time to come inside and refused to be bribed, she was as stubborn as they come.

She loved spending early mornings outdoors sleeping under the rising sun, avoiding the commotion of mornings with two noisy kids.
She loved her pink elephant stuffy, it was her sweet (but disgusting) baby she carried up to bed every night.
She loved tormenting her best buds, Remi and Birdie, right up to her last morning with us.
But most of all, she loved us, and we loved her, so much. 13 years of the best friend a girl could wish for.

Our favourite memories of Maggie are her sitting on the corner of our lawn waiting for people to walk out the road and speak to her. She was so gentle and kind.

Paula’s favourite memory was when he was brand new to home and laying down staring up at her getting rubs with love in his eyes. Adrian’s favourite memory is Benny and him falling asleep in the backyard after a long day of squirrel watching, and his little growl and noise waking him up in the morning. ( his cold wet nose waking him up lol ) Adriane’s favourite memory is all the time he would cuddle right into her chest and sigh in happiness like there was no where else he would rather be.

Lexi was the most gentle and well mannered girl, She was such a quiet pup and so loving to everyone. Lexi was more than just our family pet, she was our peace, our comfort, our baby girl. She knew how to make anyone laugh or smile and was just a goofball all the time. Lexi loved to hang out with her siblings and give them all of her love and attention. Her person was Karsen, wherever he was she wanted to be next to him. She loved to go to the cabin and was always excited for car rides, especially if a trip to tim hortons for her timbit was on the agenda. She was such a special part of our family and she has left a void that will never be able to be filled. We love you baby girl and someday I pray we will meet again.

Our sweet beloved Banner passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Jan 29. 2026.

Banner was born on October 15, 2013 which we fell in love with at first sight.

For 13 beautiful years, you were a part of our lives, filling our days with joy, comfort, laughter, and silent strength. Banner was a gentle giant, who’s sweet face and big eyes made you fall in love every-time you looked at him. Banner always had the biggest tail wags to welcome you back home that brought the biggest smile on our faces.

The quiet that fills the house now is deafening, a constant reminder that you’re no longer here. I can’t seem to grasp the fact that we will no longer wake up hearing the sound of the paws walking through the house and making your way to your spot on the couch or to jump up on mom and dad’s bed for a big drooly nap. We will miss the way you loved and protected your little buddy Maverick and all the kisses you gave us. But most definitely we will miss how your big, bellowing snores filled the house. You were the heart of our home.

We hope you’re running around the harbour, chasing rabbits and enjoying all your favourite smells. But more than anything, we hope you know just how deeply you are missed. You were our Ban Ban, our family, our home. The love we all have for you will never fade, and neither will the memories of the happiness you brought into our lives.

Losing you has changed us forever, because loving you changed us forever too. You made us better, kinder, and fuller. 

All our love, forever and always

— Mom and Dad, Tyler, Becky Zachary, Maverick & Rusty.

Prince was the kindest, gentlest most loving dog you could ever meet. He was there for me during the lowest times of my life and I’ll forever cherish the love he gave. I’ll forever miss stepping on rocks he took in from outside, the holes in the backyard, him being there to pick up the food I dropped, coming into my room and climbing into my bed with me while I’m asleep, running out of the house and my boyfriend who he hadn’t met yet drove down and opened his car door and hopped right in with him, all his little quirks will be so so so missed. I’m glad that the people closest to me got to know him and all the love he had to give. You will forever be missed Prince. Rest in peace, until we meet again.
