The moment we met Kiwi at Beagle Paws, she climbed up onto our laps and we knew we had to make her part of our family. For an entire month, she slept on my head on the couch while she adjusted to living in a home and from then on, she never left my side for more than an hour at a time. Our nephews grew up with her and she was just as spoiled as the grandkids. She ate every meal with us, shared our pillows, was never left at home, and was given every ounce of love she deserved. For 8 years, she was there for every single one of our happiest moments and all the heartbreak and licked our tears away each time.
They say you rescue an animal when you adopt them but really, it was Kiwi who rescued us. She’ll never truly be gone because she’ll be in our hearts forever and will be alive in everything we do. We’ll always love you the most baby girl ♥

We have so many favourite memories! We loved taking him on walks, Bowring park was a favorite! He loved going to dog parks and always was kind and goofy with the other dogs. Sometimes he would find a friend to match his “husky play” style. He loved everyone he met. Him playing with his friend Charlie was the silliest thing to watch every single time.
The mischievous things are funny memories now, like always laying on our clean laundry piles or trying to sneak food he wasn’t supposed to have and so many more things that made up that strong personality of his.

Some of our favourite memories include waking up each morning and giving her hugs and kisses. Every Christmas morning she would wait by the basement door barking for someone to open the door. Why? She knew that waiting under the Christmas tree would be her stocking. Every year, she received a remote-controlled car. Dad would start the car and have it come out of stocking dragging her favorite yellow squeaky balls. She loved her walks. Whenever the car would get close to one of her favorite walking spots, she would bark and howl with excitement. She became used to the timing that anyone was supposed to be home and would wait by the front door. She loved chasing squirrels, people; especially children, giving kisses to anybody and getting her picture taken. If you were doing something, she wanted to watch. She was a blessing to our family and anyone that met her.

Ruby was full of life and energy especially in her young puppy days. She loved going on hikes on the trails or in the woods and jumping in every pond and bog hole along the way.

Archie loved nothing more than his little outdoor adventures with his mom. The moment the door opened, he’d trot out proudly, tail high and eyes bright, ready to explore his kingdom. He’d find the perfect sunny patch, stretch out luxuriously, and soak up the warmth like it was made just for him. Between naps, he’d wander over to his favorite trees, sharpening his claws with great enthusiasm before flopping down again in the grass. Those sunny days outside were his happiest moments — just Archie, his mom, and the simple joy of sunshine and fresh air.

Our favourite memory is the first day we brought her home. A friend of ours owned her for the first 6 years, but due to working a lot, Bella was left alone for hours, so they figured it was no life for a sweet little girl. We were asked to adopt her, and with some hesitation, we decided to bring her home. My wife and my father went to pick her up out of town, put her in a cage to bring her home. She was barking and whining until they got back on the highway, where she fell asleep. When I got home from work that day, she was understandably shy and scared. But that night she got up on the bed with me and Kim, and she seemed so content. She was getting used to us. We had a few mishaps but aside from that, she warmed up to us quickly; even her groomer couldn’t believe how she trusted us so soon.

Zephyr was adopted into our family when he was 7 months old. He was the sweetest, most gentle boy and was also quite comical and clumsy, and bumped his head a lot while being silly. He drove us mad with his barking at everything that moved outside our window, but he was fiercely loyal and once you won his trust, which wasn’t easy, he was attached to you always. He hated to be parted from his Husky brother, Nanook, even to go outside to pee. Zep would stand in the door waiting for Nanook until he agreed to join him outside. He was extremely cuddly and loved nothing more than being close to you. If you were petting him and stopped, he would paw at your hand until you continued. He was so sweet and special, and will always be missed. Keep your brother company, Zep, until we meet again. We love you sweet boy
