2022 Memorials

We were so blessed to have had Bella in our lives for 10 years. We got to watch her grow from a rambunctious puppy to an old lady that would enjoy the sun on the back deck. We miss you Bella. ❤

My Carly was such a joy and part of my heart from the day I saw her as a tiny little puppy. There will never be another dog like her who was obsessed with me as much as I was with her. She gave me unconditional love and I called her my mental health treatment. I feel like I missing part of my heart and life without her and I hope I gave her as much love as she gave me. I hope she is running with our lab Cody who was just as amazing and getting all the treats she wants in her belly. Until we meet again Carly we all love and miss you so much!!

Omen Ming Grist Nov 2001 - Jan 14, 2022.
AKA Ming Ming Mang Meow! "Brrrrppppp"
Omen was more than a cat; he was a loyal friend who never left my side. His paw print is forever in my heart.

Ozzie my sweet lump of love, always by my side while I worked from home. You are dearly missed. Love, love, love you.

Gabi, Dan, Will and Tish 💔

Madison was so very loved, she was my best friend. She lived her best life right until the end, and for that I will be forever grateful. I can’t express enough thanks and gratitude to the team at SSAC for your amazing care of my baby. Madison, I’ll be looking for you across the rainbow bridge💕

Rocky!!
He was a character till the end. We had almost 14 years of great memories and he was always entertaining us. We miss him dearly!
Loved by many!

Our sweet Molly passed away on June 29th. She was 14 years old. She was the sweetest, most loving little babe. Friendly and loving to all. We miss her so much but we know that she is out of pain and with her brother , Max, who passed in March of this year.
Our house is not the same without Molly’s friendly, warm and cuddly being. We all loved her so much. ❤️ ❤️

Harley Page (my Barley-boy).
My beloved adventure partner and friend.

Ebony meant so much to our family and became a defect emotional support dog and she got us through a really hard time.
We didn't realize how much of a hole she would leave when we got her 21 years ago! You will be dearly missed Ebby, and will live forever in our hearts.

Juno Beach was a great girl! She aimed to please and only wanted to be loved in return. She was a great, big teddy bear with such an easy-going personality. We could never replace a legend like her.
We will miss her so much!

Our dearest Chelsea started out with a tough life however at 7 she stole our hearts during a visit to the local shelter. She had a spunky personality and was the loudest dog I think anyone has ever met. She wasn't fond of walks or nail trims but she sure loved her cuddles and pink elephant stuffy. Our house is much quieter and our hearts are heavy without her. We were blessed with 5 wonderful years with our little Chelsea Bear.

Jessy-Catherine October 2010 - March 2022 Jessy was a fearless social butterfly who loved belly rubs. She ruled our house and our hearts.

We rescued Shadow in September 2010, but he rescued us. He was about 4 and made himself at home the first night. He had a comfortable bed of his own, but preferred squeezing into cardboard boxes. He loved to be cuddled. Our beloved Shadow passed away April 8, 2022. We will always love you Shadow.

With great sorrow our precious little girl Holly passed away on Jan. 22/ 2022. She was 10 years old. It was very sudden. A very good, smart, and beautiful girl. Loved by everyone that met and knew her. Holly was a wonderful part of our family and will be sadly missed by all. Tears are very hard to hold. Thanks for all the great memories. Gone but not forgotten.

Max. Our great little boy. He was well loved and he gave us a lot of love. We sure do miss him. Molly , his sister, misses him so much. They were always cuddled up together.
Miss you sweet Max.

Jazzmine (Jazz) was such a sweet girl. Loved cuddles...and treats. She learned how to high five and shake a paw. Jazz was my soul-kitty....she knew my moods and comforted me when I was blue. Jazz left a HUGE hole in our hearts when we had to say goodbye. Miss you so much baby girl.

Samson captured my heart in a way no one ever will.
We made sure he lived every day to the fullest from the day we brought him home.
He knew he was loved and will never be forgotten.
After spending his life on heart medication, his heart broke him and now my heart is breaking me.
We Love You Schmoops!

Words cannot express the heartbreak of the loss of Abby to cancer. She was a rescue dog who rescued us 10 yrs. ago after the loss of our 1st rescue Jenny. Abby was 2 1/2 when we got her. She weighed 38lbs.Normal weight should have been 75. She had been neglected and abused. Probably a puppy mill mom. She was shy yet brave. Loved all 5 of our grandkids. I would say "your puppy is coming" and she would run to the window and whine with delight. She bonded with our 12 year-old grandson since he was 18 months. They were inseparable.
My husband feels lost. Today, "man's best friend" is gone but never forgotten.
Special thanks to ABCR who entrusted Abby to our care.. To Roxanne from Raw for Pets. Without her care and knowledge Abby would not have maintained such a healthy body and mind. And of course Dr. Shaneen who has seen us through these loss of 3 dogs and 2 cats over 25 years.
We love you Abby with all of our hearts. Thank you being in our lives.

Tripper was a lovely pet and great company, especially after the death of my partner. He wasn't too fond of having his nails clipped but, once he was at the clinic, he enjoyed the attention. He was a rescue kitty whom I adopted when he was just about four (according to his teeth). We had 16 good years together and I have lots of good memories.

7 years ago this sweet little man reached out to us in the pet store, he of course melted our hearts then and he came home with us the very same day. Little did he know he would be a pampered king as he much deserved. From all of his little quirks: sliding the water dish around the house, his silent meows, window watching, and most importantly snuggles with his mommy. He is greatly missed but he left us with his siblings to watch over us.
“Your favourite spot on the couch is empty now, where you would lie and sleep. But the memories are ours to keep forever.”

Pogo, the little dog who brought us so much joy. From cuddles, stinky kisses, and a love of cheese your personality got the attention of everyone in the room. Your life was full of adventures, dock time, and sun bathing. We are so thankful for 16 years of your love. You will forever be in our hearts.

Pineapple was sweet, loved cuddles and very mischievous and very brave. He endured more than any cat should have. He had a gift to find a toy playful in everything.. a pencil, toilet paper, toilet bowls, tea towels, shoe laces and his brother's tail. Pineapple is greatly missed by brother Blue and his family. Pineapple was one of a kind and unique like the heart shape on his back. There simply isn't words to describe how loved he was and how much he is missed.

Sadly we had to say good-bye to our "Little Love" on August 19, 2022. For the past 10 years Bella brought a ton of love to our home and to my office as she went to work with me every day. As a family mediator, Bella was the perfect assistant and she would spread her love to those who were going through difficult times. She could always sense who needed her the most on a given day. Bella will be missed greatly by our family and friends. Thank you to all the staff at Southside Animal Clinic for your support.

Gussy was such a fun little kitty, who enjoyed cuddles, being all tucked up under my chin, and making mischief with his little squeaker piggy. He liked to chase his siblings, the three of them tearing through the house and he loved to look out the front window from his tree.
He was so friendly and was a little purring machine. He was always in the gym with me when I worked out, dodging my feet during jumping jacks and ripping up my yoga mat.
He loved to chow down on popcorn and his fair share of charging cords. He always waited for us in the window until we got home from work and I'm going to miss seeing that fluffy face waiting for me when I walk through the door.
Even through all the visits to the vet and the long car rides, he kept his spirits and his energy high.
Gussy's time here was short, but he showed us so much love every single day. Even when he was hurting or uncomfortable post surgery, he loved to just curl up with you and start purring.
Thank you to everyone at Southside Animal Clinic for all the care they gave Gussy over the past 8 months.
I am going to miss my little workout buddy.
"So When Tomorrow starts without me
Do not think we're apart
For every time you think of me
Remember I'm right here in your heart"

On New Years Eve day we lost our wonderful friend and companion Luna. When we adopted her from a lovely young woman who could no longer care for her. Luna was very reserved and shy but soon became a loving and cherished member of our family. Although she had a distinctly quirky personality, she was quiet and affectionate and was our constant companion. She knew that we loved her and we knew that she loved us. We miss her terribly but we are so grateful for all the joy and love that she brought into our lives. Thank you Luna. You will live in our hearts forever!

Cotton was a wonderful member of our family for 15 years. The day we adopted him, we knew he was unique. He played fetch, he loved to snuggle and always knew when we needed a little extra love in our day. Cotton was an amazing boy and will be missed by Emma, Mary and Jesse. May he rest in peace ❤️

Our sweet Delilah, we had to say goodbye to you on June 29, 2022. Thirteen years after we first laid eyes on you and fell in love with the cutest little puppy. You were the perfect little sidekick, you protected us from the dangerous squirrels, you were our little Hoover vacuum if any crumbs fell to the floor. You cuddled with us when we were sad. You always greeted us with a wagging tail when we would come home. You loved going on walks and would always lead the way. Your absolute favourite thing was getting belly rubs and taking naps in our arms. Delilah, how I miss your little snores.
We miss everything about you. You were the most amazing part of our family. And we are heartbroken that you are gone.
We love you so much Delilah. Xoxo
Love always,
Your fellow weasel (Tarra) and fellow monkeys (Emily and Hailey).

We rescued Oz in 2017 as a senior, not knowing his real age or backstory. We were blessed to share 5 beautiful years with him. He filled our hearts and home with more love and happiness than we could have ever imagined. It will never quite be the same without him.
He peacefully left this world on Friday September 30th, 2022, in the arms of his two best friends.
Forever in our hearts, until we see you again, over the Rainbow Bridge.

Max was adopted at 16 weeks old. He was the last pick of the litter but quickly melted our hearts. His speckled fur, sad brown eyes and caramel colored eyebrows were unique and seemed to match his good-natured personality. He loved playing fetch, and snuggling. He was one of a kind and very loved.

We welcomed Indie into our home and our hearts 7 years ago. Throughout that time he would always welcome us home from our front bay window. At the age of 8 cancer took him from us. We have placed his ashes in front of his favorite window where he enjoyed watching the world go by.

Sorry for the delay but if you'd like to post the following Memorial for BK. I also wanted to say the card was very thoughtful and special to have so many people write in it. I very much appreciated that, thank you.
My BK: The sweetest black kitty you'd ever meet. She loved being my morning alarm clock, singing in the bathroom, relaxing in the gardens and would give you the cutest tap when she wanted to be pet. I miss you everyday!

It is with heavy hearts our beautiful Miguel passed away on November 28, 2022 He would have been 20 in January. We were lucky to have had him for 15 years. He was the best cat ever and truly a wonderful family member. Everyone who met Miguel over the years loved him. There will never be another Miguel, just ask Dr. Karen. He will be missed very much. RIP My Beautiful Boy ❤️❤️❤️

Zander came to me in December 2014, he diabetes in December 2020 and I had to say good bye to him in December 2022. My son felt I needed someone to give me caring love and hugs to as I had been pretty lonely since May the same year, when I had to say goodbye to my sweet Lab, Jakoby, who we called Jake. Zander got his name from my son.

I don’t know why I torture myself getting another companion when I know that down the road I will feel heartache. Well, I think it is the pleasure of giving love and getting love from someone who adores you, and does not judge you. Zander’s beautiful blue eyes adored me and I took him from an out of control high strung personality to a loving adorable boy who would do anything to please me, and the staff at Southside, his favourite place to go. Zander had personality plus and so much love to give and he craved for that human touch 24 hours a day. He was enormous due to his long legs, yet he thought he was a lap dog. He would sit beside you and expect your hand on him at all times and would pull it towards him if you took it away. I loved the way his spots were situated on his body. He had a pure white face but as he got older he got black freckles. He was so sad when he got diabetes and had to get needles twice a day, but he managed it fine even though we could not get his glucose levels to stabilize. He especially loved seeing Shaneen Kennedy his doctor and she tried her best to help him feel better but when he went blind he lost his spirit and he was so frightened by the dark…..I am crying as I tell you this but am so happy that where he is now he can see again and has no illness. I feel better when I think of his beautiful smile and his beautiful blue eyes and all the love he gave me. Miss my beautiful boy who leaves behind a cat and a kitten and myself and my son and his family.

Dudley Shack, beloved best buddy of 15 years, passed Sept 22. He loved car rides, long walks, meeting friends & trips to Florida. His favourite toy Quackers was always nearby. Dudley’s silly antics and facial expressions were amazing. Quite a character! Forever in our hearts! RIP Little Buddy!

Dozer was not your typical Bulldog; he was full of energy and special in so many ways. He loved being outside every chance he got whether that was camping in Bancroft by the lake, chasing his ball in the yard or just chilling on the back deck. He had so much personality and was loved by many who had the chance to know him. Dozer brought us so much joy over the past 14.5 years and we are holding the memories of our “Mr. Magoo” forever in our hearts.

After a full, happy life our beloved Tyler has left us. Ty leaves many human and animal friends who all have missed his caring, loving ways, and his rear being backed up for butt scratches. Tyler was a very smart dog with human personality and compassion. We will miss you every day, Tyler. Until we meet again.

My sweet boy Max left this world cradled in my arms on December 20, 2022. He brought happiness and smiles to all he came in contact with. His tail never stopped wagging. He loved to cuddle, go on walks and chase the squirrels out of our backyard.
He will soon be playing with his sister Maggie and his brother Malu who are waiting for him at the Rainbow Bridge.
I will love and miss you forever! Max was one of a kind.
A special thank you to all the staff at Southside Animal Clinic for taking such good care of Max and the compassion with which you did it.

We were so blessed when Phelix choose Lindsay a his human Mom, and Peter and I were even more blessed when he lived with us as she could not take him with her when they were transferred. We became his Nana and Pop Pop for always. He will remain forever in our hearts for his unconditional love. Born in 2004 we lost him in December 2022. He is now running free of the pain we could not ask him to endure any longer. Never to be forgotten, loved forever.

With a very heavy heart, on February 7, 2023, we had to say goodbye to our handsome boy Brodie. He was such a wonderful part of our family. He brought joy to everyone. He will be missed so much. We love you Brodie. Thank you for bringing so much joy to all of us. 🐾❤️

Daisy was so very special. A more loving and snuggly girl there could never be. She will be forever loved and remembered.

Thank you Southside for all the years of care you gave her, especially Dr. Kennedy and Dr. Lucas.

QTip's favorite things in life were sharing a freshly opened can of tuna, finding the perfect sunny spot to sleep in, hanging out in the backyard and always being near (preferably on top of) her humans. We feel so lucky to have had her in our lives for 18 years. She is missed so much, but we will always remember her sassy personality and the unconditional love she showed us.
