Bella loved to wait for her momma on the stairs at bedtime. When we would go upstairs she would hide on the landing until her momma would scoop her up and put her in bed. She loved to snuggle.

Well he was kind of a bully, liked to show everyone he was the boss. the Anglican minister was no exception….lol, who was kind of afraid of this 9 lb demon. One day the minister shows up, opens the back door but Jigger who went to meet him , with his usual rudeness but was caught behind the door when the holy man came in. As he removed one shoe to partake in a wonderful shot of the drink, the demon himself bounded around the door to latch his little sharp fangs around the preacher’s ankle.. well I thought I was gonna pass out. But we both had quite the laugh , me and Jiggs.. after the man left. Forever in my heart, I know he is waiting for me at the end of that road.

I am so blessed to be Smokey’s mother. From day one he has been there for me mentally and emotionally and has honestly saved my life! No matter where we were, or how many times we moved, or if we had to spend 6 hours straight in the car, he was happy, as long as he was with me. He had the most amazing personality, sweet, calm and chill, which led some to wonder if he could even bark! THAT, is why I knew we were meant to find one another in this life. The serenity, tranquility and abundance of love that he emanated, is what filled me with the hope, faith, positivity and belief that I need to get through any and all obstacles.
Smokey taught me what unconditional love truly is.. and although I am grieving and miss him dearly, I wouldn’t trade the time we had together for anything. I have, and always will have, an overwhelming abundance of love, joy and gratitude that I was blessed with this little Angel sent down from Heaven to protect me. He not only saved my life, but he made a huge impact on my life, for the better! He will always be with me and I am furrever grateful <3

Big Pud was the first pet I owned when I moved out. He’s been my best buddy ever since. We moved around alot but he always came along no matter what. He didn’t like a lot of people so you were very lucky if he liked you and let you pet him. I was always able to pick him up and snuggle him tho (even tho he didn’t fancy that). Letting him go is one of the hardest things I could of done. 10 years was not long enough with him.

Our little Colbourne was named after Dr. S. Ann Colbourne; an
amazing doctor who made better the lives of so many people
living with diabetes. Including little Colbourne’s Mom.
Little Colbourne would stare straight into your eyes for minutes with barely a blink. It became a game to see who could maintain eye
contact the longest. Colbourne won every time.
He lost his vision three years ago, and still it felt like his stare was looking into our souls. He had the house mapped out and made his way around with such confidence. He was truly an amazing, kind little soul who brought us such joy everyday. We miss him beyond measure. Our sweet Boy.

Sir Winston( Winny Winny). My best friend has been laid to rest. Just shy of his 10th birthday, his big heart could take no more and we’re devastated. 

He was such an excellent companion/friend and big brother. He came into our lives just as we moved into our home and he completed it. Gave Melissa great comfort and company while I worked away . Then became the best protector and brother to Jack. His constant zest for life ( mainly food) and happiness was infectious. His snorts and wiggles appreciated and brought a smile every time. A fierce protector of our home barking at all who dare walk by or deliver a package. But age started to catch up as it does and while he slowed down a tad he was still as loving as ever just a little more stubborn. It all quickly deteriorated and we knew he was ready to rest, he had given us all the love his heart could. 

Winston our lives will never be the same without you, you gave us so much joy and love. I love you buddy and miss you dearly.

Chico was a wonderful dog with an amazing personality. He loved going for short walks and cuddling with his family on the couch. He will be missed dearly by everyone who knew him but especially by his family.

Ever since she first chose us as her parents Cecilia has been an absolute treasure. She has always been there to lick away our tears, to purr away our discontent, and to demand our undying love, respect, and belly rubs. We will miss her every time we buy a bag of apples. We will never forget you, Princess. Rest easy. The pain is left only for the living.
