July 17 Our beloved Tanzy

Aug 18, 2006 – July 17, 2019

Tanzy was my very first dog, and a week later we knew she needed her brother to be happy when we weren’t there. She took good care of her brother. She had a lot of personality and would always have her place at the head of the pack. She had a bubble around her that puppies and young dogs knew not to enter. A look was all it took, much to our amusement. Even so, often she would be the one that guest dogs would cuddle up to first.

She was a master at the bait and switch when she wanted others’ toys or treats.

She loved her beach runs and the great outdoor hikes we shared. Crunching crabs and digging at shells at the beach.

She loved to explore her yard, and would see her trotting across the yard with her catch of the day, often a mole.

She would roo roo when I came home, tail wagging. She was quiet and sweet, never asking for anything except to be with you.

Many thanks to Linda and Steve for giving us some of the best memories of our lives.

I don’t know how I could get through this without Marco. He is strong when I can’t be.

Fly to the angels, sweet Tanzy. Smokey is waiting for you.

Aug 18, 2006 – July 12, 2019

Our hearts are broken with the loss of Smoke. He and his sister were my first dogs, and he taught us so many things about the world of dogs. We made so many new and valued friends.

He would willingly do all things with us. We experimented in agility and went on to great accomplishments there. He loved to work with his people.

Smoke was known for being a wild tiger at the boxes when racing. Later on, he was known for picking his own blackberries, getting up in the middle of the night to do his rounds in case someone left the dog food pantry door open, and waiting impatiently for Marco to get him to the truck for his nightly Tim Horton’s drive.

I am very grateful to have Rhonda and Linné here to help Marco and I get through this. We are also very thankful to the comfort offered this weekend. Thank you to Linda and Steve for entrusting us with a very special boy.

Smoke. Sweet. Kind. Gentle.

As a friend once said, ‘to know Smoke is to love Smoke’.

We will miss you terribly, dear Smoke. I will envision you just like this, wrapped in love.
