Hi,
My name is Zivka.

I hatched on April 2, 2018, and was adopted right away by my human parents along with my two sisters. Together, we became house geese and followed our mom everywhere she went!

Toward the end of my life, I became sick, but I don't want that to overshadow all the wonderful years I spent with my family. My life was filled with love, fun, and adventure.

Some of my favorite things to do were:

Pretending to fly with my sisters
Splashing and playing in puddles
Having zoomies in the pond and doing flips
Searching for young dandelion shoots
Destroying cardboard boxes
Honking at bikers and letting them know who was boss
Waiting for my mom or dad to come out of the shower so I could play with their hair

I was a happy, sweet goose, and I loved my family with all my heart. In return, they loved me deeply and miss me every day.

I will be loved forever, remembered always, and missed more than words can say.

Thanks to Noscopains, I will remain with my family forever.

With love,
Zivka

Peggy Sue passed away suddenly on Aug 23 2024 age 13 yrs. "My darling pug with a heart of gold" she frequently greeted grieving clients at Pet Friends and put a smile on a sad face. She loved her stroller walks with her dearest friend and admirer, Marguerite. She was our time clock for every meal and the Princess of my pug clan. So very missed and never forgotten for introducing me to the enchanting breed of pugs.

Edward G Robinson age 11 years.

"Eddie" passed away peacefully at home on August 9, 2024, surrounded by his forever pug family. He came to my rescue home after having a heartbreaking 5 yrs locked in a bathroom. He was a challenge but we conquered his fears and unsocial behaviour. Eddie became our loving, loyal pug - he was mischievous, a clown and loved children. He ran free on 5 acres of countryside and was never confined again.
Thank you for the years of care Dr Ashley Erick and to all the caring staff at Glengarry Animal Hospital.
Always in our hearts.

RIP Jada 💕

Jada, our beloved Baby Girl, came into our lives as a rescue from Atlanta, Georgia, in 2012. This spirited boxer had a unique personality – what we like to call her "attitude". She was rambunctious on her walks, always playful with other dogs, and perhaps a bit glutinous at meal times. She was deeply loved and gave us so much in return.

Her final days were challenging after she suffered a stroke. Pet Friends has always been our trusted choice for saying farewell. Averil, along with her daughter Julia, have been part of our lives for over 15 years. All our boxers have made their last journey to this beautiful and precious place to rest.

Thank you to the entire team for providing the best possible way to say goodbye to our loved ones.

Jenny, Steve, and family ❤️

RIP Sweet Maya ❤️🕊️🌈

To our dearest Maya,
Our beautiful girl, We miss you so. We wish we could have told you how dear you were to us, we tried to show you in the best way we knew how. You will forever be one of the biggest gifts life gave us. Living without you here is difficult. You brought so much joy to our lives every day. From the silly faces you sometimes made to caring for you as you aged. Watching you hop around in the snow to watching you bask in the sunlight; We even watched you when you didn’t know it. We delighted in simply watching you crunch your carrots and veggies, you made the sweetest face and a sound we will never forget. We have candy canes at the base of the tree this year just for you, yes; we always knew you were the one eating them, and we loved it.. We are so grateful that Chips had you as a big sister, I hope you know that you changed his life and made it that much better with your unconditional love. You were the best girl.
Love your pack,
Mom, Baba,, William, Jonathan, Alejandro, Lina and your best buddy Chips.

Duncan the Pekingese 2023❣️
Duncan was a very affectionate friend. He loved to run on our property. It was either full speed or he also had a very fine princely trot. Duncan's best friend was "Lambchop". Lambchop went everywhere with him. Also, Duncan didn't like to share his toys or cookies. If ever a dog came on the TV, Duncan would bark, run get his cookie and fearlessly guard it!
I miss him everyday!
