Sadly, our boy Jack left us on January 3rd 2020, he was 10 years old, he had brain cancer.
He was found 9 years ago at the SPCA Montreal by Gerdy’s Rescue, Gerdy called us to see if we would be interested in adopting this bundle of high energy. As a devotee of this beautiful breed, we opened our arms to him in spite of Jack being a hyper crazy dog. With our experience and our loving care, he became the most loyal, loving and courageous dog we have ever had. On January 3 2020 we chose to have a euthanasia at Pet friends Funeral Home: they have taken care of all our dogs aftercare. Jack passed away peacefully with no pain in the caring hands of Dr Bart Sikorski. Beside him was his loving family including his boxer side kick Jada Thank you Averil and Pet friends’ staff, from the bottom of our hearts for seeing that Jack could have this peaceful journey to Rainbow Bridge Love to you all Jenny, Steve and family.

Roxy is sadly missed by my wife, our two remaining dogs and myself… The wound will heal, leave a scar, and that scar will not be a bad thing, but rather a reminder and celebration of Roxy’s memory…

My beloved sweet “ROBBIE BOY” (Robin Hood)
January 21, 2016 - Thursday 2:30 pm

You were so very special to me! You gave me so much joy! There are no words to express the bond we shared and the love we had for one another. You were an extraordinary most loyal companion I have ever shared my life with. You were a happy, healthy, and such a loving, gentle, and sweet cocker. You were one of a kind. I miss you so much ”Boy”…. tears are rolling down …… but this time you are not here to ease my sorrow. How I wish this was all a bad dream. My heart hurts and the pain is unbearable. I knew that one day, this sad day would come; I dreaded it ………You were a true gentleman, so refined; you always walked so happily with your head up high and with so much pride. We will celebrate your birthday and I will have your Harvey’s Junior Burger. I remember how much you loved that treat ………

Thank you Robbie for a remarkable, most amazing 14 years and 8 months you have given me. You were the “BEST” Robbie Boy, you will “ALWAYS” and “FOREVER” be in my heart.

Good Bye “My Sweet Boy”, we will always love you. Rest in Peace.

Our beloved, handsome boy Bower. You came into our lives suddenly and unexpectedly and departed the same way twelve years later. You brought so much joy and happiness, companionship and love, laughter and smiles - we will never forget you. So gentle, intelligent, goofy and patient, you were truly one of a kind. We feel lost and the house feels so empty but our hearts will always be full of happy memories of our time spent with you. We love and miss you.

Our beloved Rosie went to Rainbow Bridge suddenly on December 1st, 2015. Rosie was such a sweetheart and certainly adored our two cats and our Lab, Candy. With her she took a big piece of all our hearts. We miss her terribly and the pain is unbearable. Rosie, you are forever in our hearts.

Love,

He was a blessing brought to us when we needed him, and for that we are forever grateful. We love you and miss you, our sweet baby boy.

Jack was my husband's first pet, adopted from the SPCA after being found in a dumpster. He was an amazing dog and a great friend. He greeted any stranger (2 and 4 legged) into his home with a good butt snif, then immediately adopted them as family members. He also trained our two other dogs and taught them that if you hung out close to the kitchen, you might be able to catch food as it fell to the floor. He loved a good car ride and LOVED to chase deers. He will be missed dearly.

You brought joy into our lives, even if it was only for a short time. We loved you dearly and we will miss you. Know that you were loved by us,your family. Rest now my little one, and if we should ever feel a cold nose we will know that it is you saying hello to us, your family.

My dear Pixie
Even if we had you a short time we loved you so much. You were the light of our lives when I brought you home on October 10, 2013. Even after a year and half we still love you and miss you so much. The pain of losing you is undescribable, love you to the moon and back forever you will be in out hearts. Got your little paws and name tattooed on me.

From mom and the kids ♥

Lassie, a faithful companion of Luc Periard.

You were the sunshine in my life. Sleep now my Little Princess and know that I will always love you.

Moose was my rock through very hard times especially the last 4yrs.

I feel so empty without him but know how tired he was and how much pain he was in. As he took his last breath with his head in my lap, I felt a sense of fear. How will I go on without my best friend, my rock, my confidence? He made me the person I am today believe it or not. He taught me so much. I wasn't a very good people person before Moose came along. But when you walk down the street with a 3.5 foot tall 165 lb great dane, people will stop you and talk to you. He gave me the confidence to step out of my shell and venture outside of my comfort zone. Hence, how I eventually ended up heavily involved in animal rescue. Moose was the big foster brother to so many little foster dogs that came through my home.

He definitely leaves this earth with his paw prints on the hearts of many. Sleep easy my big boy.

Your paws will forever be in my heart. Love me.

In sweet memories to the best little bunny in the world!

I will always love ♥ and miss you. You will be in my heart ♥ forever, Until we meet again. Beautiful, loving, faithful and beloved Choco girl of Linda Paquette and family xo.

Our dear sweet Izzy,

You came into our lives unexpected…and what a surprised you were. Such a special girl you were.

Playing hockey, playing fetch, what a kitten! The memories of you being a kleptomaniac, stealing everything from us…food, toys, clothes, hockey tape….always made us laugh. Anything missing in the house, we always knew it was you! We’ll always remember you walking with something in your mouth.

We had you in our lives for too short a time. From the first day you came into our lives, you had brought us laughter, joy and so much love ♥.

You were dear to us and all the love you gave us will last forever in our hearts ♥.

My Little Gypsy

Goodbye -

To your long, slow, Painful days...
Goodbye To your soul that stayed, just to feel
the warmth and the love from the one strength
that promised to hold you forever...
I told you That I would never let you go...
until today.

My sweet, loving Maggie...

You captured my heart the moment we met and when you left this world you took a giant piece of it with you. You were always there for me with your funny little smiling face, unconditional love, greeting me at the door, keeping me safe, smiling up at me every morning. I will miss you forever and cherish all the lovely memories and joy you brought to all our lives. Forever in our hearts, our souls....

Love always, your mama Michele, Edel, Manfred, Julio and all the friends you made along the way. Until we meet again my sweet girl...

My dear, sweet Misha,

We met on a cold day in February, on the Upper West side. You were so affectionate! From the moment we met I knew we were meant to be together. You cuddled up in my lap and declared me yours. We had so much fun together . . . we traveled to many places – by plane, by train, by ferry, by bus, by car . . . You stayed with me in new and exciting places and never once had trouble with it. As long as we were together you were happy. When your brother went to the Rainbow Bridge I never imagined that you’d stay for as long as you did. You were such a courageous boy!

The days are long and hard without you. I look for your happy smiling eyes, your perky Aby ears and your beautiful red fur to caress, but your spot is empty. I miss our special times together Misha. I dream of us playing together again, with Sacha.

I’m sure that Sacha was so happy to see you when you got to the Rainbow Bridge. I hope you are playing and cuddling with him as you did while you were both on Earth.

Thank you for staying with me for so long . . . you were very brave for such a long time, my sweet little bunny-cat.

I will love you forever.

Our best friend, who loved and was loved by everyone she knew.

I lost a special friend today that you can't replace, looking at his empty bed I still can see his face. But as those precious years went by and we both aged and grew, I’d find him often slowing down but-we had still so much to do. He did his guard dog duty well each time the doorbell rang; Strangers surely couldn't see my gentle friend--behind those fangs.
When he started sleeping next to me it was this his special clue, because he felt the end was near I only wish I knew.

My Kimo was a special dog I know he gave his best, but as I looked deep into his eyes I knew it was time, for him to rest. It will truly be a struggle I don't know how I'll face each day, I had to let him go--I know but in my heart he'll always stay.
I know he's watching over us he'll be with me when I cry, so with one more kiss on his beloved head I told my Kimo goodbye. All of our family and friends we were blessed to be in your life.

Love Jody & Lucas & Cedric & Yohan & Alexya

How 12 years have passed so fast. You came into my life at 6 months, unsure and afraid and we spent the next 12 years loving every second together. You learned to trust and love and I learnt patience and the true meaning of “man’s best friend”. Over time we added a brother named Cody. You became his guide and he your protector. The 2 of you were a match made in heaven... gentle souls who loved everyone in the their lives. You will be missed by all that were fortunate enough to have met you. You will forever remain my Pretty Girl, always happy, always by my side, a true gift. Thanks

The Greeter, you loved life and enjoyed greeting everyone that came by, with your beautiful growling howl. You had so much joy to share with us every day. We miss you and Hogan each and every day. R.I.P. Little Girl
Daddy, Mommy and Stefany...

For my BamBam and Bushy tail I still remember the first day we met. When I heard my mom walk in I ran down the stairs and you were looking up at me. I hugged you and told you how sorry I was for the man who hurt you and from that day on we stayed together. I promised you no one would ever hurt you again. On your last day I held you in my arms and told you how sorry I was as they put you to sleep. I knew you were comforted because we were together... you were so peaceful in my arms. Your brothers, Winston and Shadow miss you deeply. It's so quiet without hearing you bark anymore. Mom, Dad and Shannon are sad they did not get to say goodbye but knew it would be selfish to keep you any longer. I promised you I would not let you suffer and would stay with you until the end. Now I know you will be watching over me. I'll love you forever and I will never forget how you changed my life. Karyna

Our beloved Keya came into our lives when I was asked to accompany a friend to the dog pound in Cold Lake, Alberta to inquire if her son could volunteer there. As a joke I said "Don't let me come home with a dog!" You can see the result was meant to be. Bringing 18 month old Keya home soon brought to our attention that she would be the car puking wonder from day one, resulting in me becoming very talented in driving with one hand while holding a bucket under her head as we drove the short distance to obedient and agility classes. Over the years and many car rides later she became a very good car and airplane traveller. The confessed favourite of all the family dogs by her human grandparents, she brought to our lives so much love, laughter and joy. At age 15, she is at peace but her absence leaves a large hole in our hearts and lives and will be sadly missed.

Summer 1993 - February 14, 2013

The years of joy and love will live in our hearts forever. You were a very special creature. From the first day you wandered into our lives and decided to stay the love was unconditional. My lap was your safe haven. Your trust was evident sleeping soundly you remained motionless in my lap if left undisturbed for hours. Now, you have a new place to call home, free from suffering and sunshine to keep you warm and safe. Sleep my Tibbs sleep knowing we will be reunited in the afterlife.

Love for ever,
Glen, Kelly, Carole

My dear little Millie,

We had such a good life together and it was far too short. We all miss you so much.

You were so easy going , friendly, affectionate, kind and curious. How you loved treats and finding someone who would play with you with your laser light. Unfortunately your bright nose always gave you away when you peered from behind doors and curtains waiting to attack whoever went by.

Now it’s time for you to go and find your old pal Wee Willie who has been waiting patiently for you to join him.

Love from all of us.

At 5 years of age, from Gerdy's Rescue, Duddley came home with us 7 years ago on Mother's Day, and became our faithful and loving companion. As soon as we seen him scoot across the floor to us with his little tail going a mile a minute and his ears flying out, we know he was going to be in our hearts forever.

He LOVED Tim Bits... When he knew he was getting one (which was almost every morning in the last few months) he would drool & vibrate till he got it. Even Tim Horton's knew we were getting a Tim bit for him when we placed our breakfast order and if we forgot to order it, they would say ("Tim Bit for the Dog?")

You were such a strong & brave Little Man, in fighting the pain you were a real trooper. We are going to miss you so much in our lives.

R.I.P. Duddley doo, and play nice with Cuddles and April, and enjoy and share the Tim Bits we sent with you.

Thank you Averil & staff of Pet Friends for your kindness and help through this difficult time. You have made easier to go through this and could not have done it without you.

You will be forever in our hearts our precious little boy, and will never be forgotten.

With all our love from Mom & Dad
Heather & Lyn
