Our beloved Dougall passed on February 23rd, 2023 at 18 years of age surrounded by family in love, gratitude, and grief. Dr Jen guided us all through this difficult time with kindness, compassion, and care, even going out of her way to accommodate our situation.
We are heartbroken that he’s gone but so very, very grateful for the joy, love, and companionship he brought whilst allowing us to be his forever family.

It has been physically painful to not have him in our home as we miss the sound of his nails on hardwood, the vocal chat as his meals were prepped, the very specific “arroo” to let us know he wants in, and his ears down with a helicopter tailspin upon seeing our return.

Dougall had many friends and admirers – four-legged and humans too. He was an amazing host to his pals when needed, sharing his (our) bed and his toys and space with no complaints. He always wanted to take the lead in a jaunty manner in his younger years but as time passed was slower and less able but always keen at the onset to head to the park, sniffing everything and marking his way along.
