In Loving Memory

My dear sweet Penny "Girl". Its with a HEAVY heart we said our goodbyes to you yesterday. You have left a life long impression in our hearts. Thank you for being the absolute best. Id choose you all over again if i could. I love you and miss you so much. This void is heavy on my heart. I hope you are having so much fun in that field and living pain free finally. You were my favorite hello and my most painful goodbye 🐾

We will always love and miss our Boxer buddy!

The sweetest girl ever, I feel lucky for every moment we shared together. Thank you for teaching me so much. I love you forever Sputnik.

Our sweet girl Gracie aka the Fierce and Rugged Country Dog has moved on to whatever is next. She let us know it was time -- Gracie was increasingly weak, tired, and in pain and then stopped eating Saturday morning. We helped her transition at home – she had a peaceful, gentle passing at home Saturday afternoon with the help of Dr, Katie Prince from Lap of Love. Gracie was an earnest lover of snuggles and scritches and snacks, a zoomie-zoomer extraordinaire, a meatball doggie, a champion cuddler, a pool floater, a beachcomber, and a girl who loved her cozy blankets and fluffy white toys. She was an intrepid traveler – literally – planes, trains, boats, and automobiles – Gracie even had her own window seat on an Air Canada flight from SFO to Vancouver. Gracie loved her people so much – Fred and I, her grandma Judy, Vicki, Delaynie, Danny, Kendall, Paul, Bob, Sig, Vi, Nicole & Natasha and the rest of the Nelson crew, Anne, Julian, Madeline, Tori, Thomas, Marian, and the rest of our cousin tribe, Janet, George, Pam, Russell, and all our dear friends and family who have been part of her life over the years. Gracie loved her four-legged siblings as well -- her little sis Zoe the Small and Mighty Dog, Sophie the Cat Dog of Distinction, Beau, Lamy, and her special doggie friends Winnie, Elvis, Bowie, Otis, and Evie. We are tremendously grateful to everyone who helped us take care of this special girl over the years -- Dr. Michael Waldo and staff at Animal Kingdom Veterinary Hospital, Carla Illia from Almost Home Doggie Daycare, her trainer Julie Colt, Kim and Gail from Affinity Pet Services, her vacation sitters Amira and Dian, the Dogwood crew for the beach romps, and the Milo Foundation for trusting us with Gracie in the first place. Lastly, we would like to share special thanks to animal hospice professional Cara Delarosa and Dr. Katie Prince from Lap of Love for their graceful and gentle end-of-life care. Gracie was the sweetest and bestest girl ever. We will miss her forever, and she will always be in our hearts.

Alice was always a very gentle and special girl. Although she is no longer by our side, she will forever be in our hearts. I am blessed and thankful for the 15 years we got to call her a member of our family. Any amount of years is no enough but I will happily accept what I got.

In Loving Memory of Our Sweet Journey Bear 🤍🐾🌈

My fur baby, Dyson! You brought unconditional love, wags, smiles, laughter, and kisses to me and everyone who crossed your path. You were my best friend, “shadow”, and sous chef. You decided to cross the rainbow today and will be terribly missed.

We were lucky enough to share 13.5 years with our baby girl, Mia. It wasn’t long enough, but it was filled with so much love. She was a great big sister to Lou and Mr. Floof. She taught so many of our foster dogs how to play, walk on a leash, beg for treats, and love pets. We will miss her so much, but she is no longer in pain.

We loved Blinky she was the best kitty she followed us around and knew everything that we were up to. She was sweet and calm and smart and great company.

Katie, I love you and I miss you
