Annabelle was a truly one-of-a-kind kitty. She loved visitors and would often greet them at the door the moment they stepped into the apartment. She was the type of cat who would walk right up to you, purring like a little motorboat. Head and chin scratchies were her favourites—but don’t be fooled by her belly. If she showed it to you and you dared to touch it, you just might lose a finger… or two.
Her tail was always wagging—happy, angry, sad, or content. She could be hard to read sometimes, but Mommy knew her like the back of her hand.

Annabelle adored her zoomies, her after-shower cuddles, and making biscuits on all of Mommy’s soft blankets. She loved basking in the sun and lounging out on the balcony. None of Mommy’s plants were ever safe around Miss Annabelle—she knew she wasn’t supposed to chew them, but that never stopped her.

Christmas was one of her favourite times of the year. She would spend the holidays curled up under the tree, and every Christmas morning she somehow always knew exactly which stocking was hers. She loved her daddy, too—curling up beside him while he watched the game or getting extra pets while he watched videos. She would look at him with so much love, and he’s really going to miss her constant presence. She especially loved when her daddy gave her food or treats; she would eat every last bite, no matter what. There were even times when Mommy would feed her, but Daddy would have to pick up the plate and pretend he gave her new food before she’d eat it. LOL.

Our home feels so empty without our little Miss Pretty Girl, Annabelle… but we will forever treasure every memory she gave us.

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.

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.
