Our mokoboy. We remember him not just as a dog, but as part of our family, our daily rhythm, and our lives for the past 14 years.
Moko wasn’t just any dog. He had a presence about him.
A bark so loud and intense it could’ve scared off anything — and probably did.
If that buggy even so much as started up, that was it… he was all in, letting the whole world know he was there.
That was Moko — bold, full of life, and completely himself.
But behind that tough exterior, Moko had the gentlest heart.
He had this way of knowing things — like when we were sad. He would just sit at your feet and lie with his head on them.

When our girl dogs had pups, he would always act like the caregiver, You could almost see it in his face, like “oh no… here they come,” and instead of running off, he’d just lie there and let them climb all over him. Patient, calm, and so tolerant. That was his quiet kind of love.
And every afternoon, like clockwork, he’d be there at the kennels — waiting to greet his hunting dog mates, Even though he was just our house dog. Loyal to his routine, loyal to his crew. He showed up for them every single day.
For 14 years, he gave us loyalty, protection, companionship, and so many small, everyday moments that we didn’t realise would one day become the ones we miss the most.
He was there through it all — growing with us, watching over us, being part of our story.
And now, even though he’s gone, his presence doesn’t just disappear. It lives on in those memories — in the routines, in the laughter, and in the stories we’ll keep telling about him.
Moko wasn’t just a dog.
He was family.
And he will be deeply missed, always remembered, and forever loved.
Forever missed from your pack

NikNak our nearly 17-year-old boy, was born in Hamilton. The only orange roan in his litter taking after his grandmother-while all his siblings were black and white. From the moment he came home with us to Gisborne, our very special boy settled in as though he had always belonged here.

He loved caravanning, strolling down Riverside Road, and chasing the ducks on the sports fields. We're certain the ducks enjoyed their playful games with him just as much. Raised as a house dog with free exit to the outdoors, NikNak lived as a cherished member of our family-truly like a child to us.

Over the past three years he slowly began to lose his sight and hearing, though his sense of smell stayed as keen as ever. Despite these challenges, the unconditional love, joy, and countless memories he gave us cannot be measured. His passing has left a tremendous void in our home and in our hearts. The wounds are taking time to heal, but the memories of him will live with us forever. We know he is in a better place now, and having him back with us in his beautiful little box brings comfort as we learn to adjust to life without him by our side.

We extend our sincere thanks and deep gratitude to James and Kirstie for the loving care they gave our nearly 17-year-old boy, NikNak. Forever loved. Forever remembered.

Marley
Our dearest Marley was a huge part of our life for the last ten years. Welcomed in just after six weeks and grew with us to the age of ten years old.
A beautiful gentle souled girl who loved with all her heart! A real sweetheart in all senses of the word. Also blessed with a slight cheeky rascal side, and always excited to see the postman on delivery days!!
She loved the beach, running free and walks and always said yes to cuddles and love.
We miss our girl dearly and like everyone else who has loved and owned a fur baby, we miss her so much, a hole that will never be filled.
Marley is running free now over the rainbow bridge. We wanted to say a massive thank you to James and Kirstie from pet reflections. Their kindness and compassion was clear to see. Kind and peaceful through the whole journey and now thanks to them we have our girl home with us.
Words can't thank them enough.

Love you always Marley ###x

💔 What’s Left Behind Matters 💔

Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the hardest things we ever do. And even after they're gone, the way we care for their memory still matters.

This image shows the difference in how metal implants return after cremation.

💧 On the left: Water Cremation
Implants come back clean and untouched — a gentle process that treats every part of your pet with dignity and care.

🔥 On the right: Flame Cremation
The same implant is blackened and charred by fire — a harsh reminder of a much more intense process.

At Pet Reflections, we chose water cremation because we believe pets deserve kindness, even in their final moments. It’s cleaner, softer on the environment, and more respectful to the animals we love like family.

If you’ve ever wondered about the difference — this is it.

I miss you terribly every day Khloe, Kimi your sister is still here to keep me comforted . I have you next to my bed at night and in the lounge during the day. I'll love you always baby...... kisses and hugs for ever in my dreams mummy

Jimmi 2005 - 2025

Jimmi was a character, a gentle soul, and an adventurer.

She ruled the house from the moment we welcomed her at 8 weeks old right until we bid her farewell not shy of her 20th birthday.

A beautiful little lady who lived a full life catching birds and mice, long days spent bathing in the sun, and hours spent rounding up the other animals in the house. She loved a long pat and a brush but wasn't shy to give you a swift bite when she was sick of it.

Jimmi was a well loved member of our family and we all miss her very much xx

The heart and soul of our home! Our Eevee Girl. You are missed everyday and your absence has left a huge hole in our lives we are glad you have found peace over the rainbow bridge hoping you're back to your usual self of chasing birds and sunbathing in the sun. Even at 13 your personality radiated through our home with the way you greeted us as we arrived back from work, nagged for food, harassed for consistent cuddles and late night zoomies! Plus the many more silly things that made you one of a kind. You had a full life ahead of you and though your time came sooner then we liked we will continue to cherish you in the many memories you left us! You are so loved ❣️
