Today this gentle soul joined the angels. River was one of the sweetest dogs you could ever meet. He took his last ride to McDonald’s for a delicious ice cream cone that he enjoyed until the last lick. Waiting with open arms at the bridge is his human Dad, fur-siblings Roxy, Hammy, Nutmeg, Oso, and Geronimo, as well as feathered-brothers Kiwi, Chico, Robbie, and Omar. Last but not least, butterfly sister, Mariposa.
He leaves behind his human family: his mom (Ann), big sister (Emily) and two older brothers (Aaron & Joey). He also leaves behind two special fur-cousins, Bella and Zena, his loving aunt, Aunt Gail. As well as little sister Josie, and feathered-brother, Rupaul. He will also be missed by feline friend Bella Cornick, and his fence buddy, Meeko Fitzgerald. We are sure they will miss their morning chats. He will also be missed by the city garbageman and the Irving propane man, we are sure the barking was nothing personal! He was just confident they were stealing our stuff. Live like River, don’t take life too seriously. Kick some grass over the rough spots and keep moving.
Cremation has taken place. In lieu of flowers, River requests that everybody take some time to hug their fur babies extra close tonight.
As a retired CKC Champion, River will be competing in the big dog show in the sky tonight.

The day we rescued Mya, she was only 9 days old. Bottle feedings every 2 hrs. We loved every minute of watching her grow into a strong, beautiful girl. She loved going on car rides with her daddy, sit in the front seat, and I swear, she always had a smile on her face. When Mya passed, she took a peace of us with her.

Our favorite memories of our sweet baby boy was simply all the cuddles! He was so loving and affectionate. Loved attention, the more he was given kisses, rubs and talked to the more his beautiful brown eyes would light up. Buddy loved the cabin/camper and coming along with Mom and Dad everywhere we went. To say our boy will be missed is an understatement… but we will forever be so beyond grateful you came into our lives and stayed for 12 beautiful years. We love you have a good day and be careful we will see you later. XO Mommy & Dad! We will miss always and forever.

When Rex’s fur brother Charlie was a small puppy, we would ask the two dogs to sit on the front step before we allowed them into the house.  We asked Charlie to sit many times but he would not comply.  Rexy appeared to loose his patience. He raised his paw and thumped Charlie on the butt, pushing him into sitting position.

Rex was a caring brother and loyal family member.  He was renowned for carrying his frisbee around the neighborhood in Clovelly Trails. He will remain furever in our hearts.

Jack was choosy about his friends, but when he loved you, you knew it. As a puppy, he chewed every corner of furniture and walls available to him but graduated to his toys quickly. He was an incredibly smart learner, but not so great in coming when called if he would make a quick escape through a door to run around the neighborhood like a greased pig with neighbors trying to catch him (LOL!). He was a little dog who thought that he was a big outdoors dog. He loved trails in the woods and no snow was too deep for him. He was the best hiking buddy ever and would walk 9 k several times a week without missing a beat. There was a time when chased a squirrel halfway up a tree before he realized that he couldn’t climb! He was particularly fond of swimming, especially he wore his floating vest. He was my best buddy at home, my l’il confidant, & a great foot warmer,, especially in bed. Rest easy little feller, & know that you were loved so very dearly.
