Our sweet, precious boy, Nielsen, crossed the rainbow bridge on January 5th.

There are a million pictures that we could post, and a novel that we could write here, but the wound is still too fresh and our hearts are absolutely shattered.

To the world he may have been just a dog, but to us he was our entire world. From the second we opened our eyes in the morning, our lives revolved around him. Nothing will ever be the same.

He had the pleasure of greeting many a tourist working on boat tours with his Dad, something he dearly loved doing, but it is time to hang up his handkerchief and leash.

His passing was sudden but peaceful in the end. We held him in our arms and told him how loved he was until he closed his eyes and took his very last breath. We are so grateful for the 9 wonderful years that we got to share with him, but forever would never have been long enough.

Love you with all the world, our sweet dog.

“Many people walk this earth, but only some are fortunate enough to walk it together with a Newfoundland dog.”

Boomer was an escape artist in his younger years. From opening doors to gain freedom or climbing fences to escape from yards or dog parks. He certainly had a travelers spirt and a lot of independence. Some of the fondest memories are of me and him travelling down some highway with him sitting in the front seat having a chat, or the smile he’d put on ppls faces when he would be hanging out the window howling at ppl on sidewalk. He was the best copilot/coworker one could ever ask for. I’ll miss him on cold winter nights when he’d snuggle up in the bunk of the truck. I’ll even miss his wake up calls on chilly mornings when he’d put the windows down and freeze me out because it was his walk time.

Our favourite memories of Ivan include all the stolen socks that somehow always ended up in his bed.
The two cars he enthusiastically “customized” as a puppy.
Our walks for ice cream—because he absolutely believed he deserved it.

Dublin was such a special boy there is no singular memory that stands out because he was just always full of life and love. Whether it was not being able to roll over in bed cause he was crushing your feet, or him trying desperately to steal cheese out of your hand, meeting you at the front door after work or playing fetch with his toys, Dublin was always up to something. He was a shadow cat, not necessarily always snuggling, but always nearby. He would wake you up with a gentle paw to the face, he would sit with you while you brushed your teeth. If you were cooking he was sitting on the chair hanging out. If you watched a movie he was there watching too. He knew that door knobs were how you opened a door, but not that he can pull them open when they were a jar. He knew how to give a paw, how to sit, how to spin and most importantly, ‘scream’, which would usually sound like a half-hearted honk. He was the bestest biscuit boy and so so loving. There wasn’t a single person he didn’t like and he tried in his own way to be friends will most animals, even if they didn’t wanna be his. He was more dog than cat and more loving than we ever expected. He was my sweet baby boy and always will be.

Some of our favorite memories include picking Storm up at the airport and seeing his little passport. How he faithfully would get into bed with us every single night and make his way to his favorite spot lid on top of one of us. His beautiful big paws and soft fur coat. Storm would often be found cuddled up with his sister Luna in their cat tree or on our bed. We will also miss his mischievous antics and how he use to always try to steal a bite of whatever food we had. Also how everyone halloween he would find his way into the chip boxes when we would put together our loot bags. Storm will be very much missed by his mom’s and sister Luna.
