The Original Dog House

Sadly we announce the recent pass­ing of Quincy, unfor­tu­nately, even when a dog’s owner is one of the finest vet­eri­nar­i­ans in Toronto it does not guar­an­tee that the dog will be safe from dis­ease or other ter­ri­ble conditions.

Quincy was a beau­ti­ful Ger­man Shep­herd who was a reg­u­lar mem­ber of our day­care and a par­tic­u­larly good friend of David’s Ger­man Shep­herd Dash.

The entire team at The Orig­i­nal Dog House would like to extend their most heart felt con­do­lences to Dr. Ruth Wein­trop and her Family.

REST IN PEACE ‘BIG BOY’ WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER

YOU WITH GREAT FONDNESS & SMILES.

It is with sad­ness and dis­be­lief that we announce the untimely pass­ing of Wavey.
What can we say about Wavey, she was the most per­fectly imper­fect ‘Por­tuguese Water Dog’. When we think about Wavey the words which come to mind are Com­i­cal, Mis­chie­vous, Loud and Happy, Wavey was in love with life and par­tic­u­larly her own.

Wavey was also a one of a kind girl who would man­age to steal the hearts of all who would come to know her and if you were not care­ful she would also steal your lunch. As such, we can say that Dog­gie Heaven will cer­tainly be shaken up with Wavey’s arrival; things will never be the same again up there.

Wavey first joined The Orig­i­nal Dog House in 2005 and from that time it would always be an excit­ing adven­ture for us when Wavey was around and yet now that she is no longer here she has left behind an empti­ness which can­not be filled.

The entire staff at The Orig­i­nal Dog House wishes to extend their most sin­cere con­do­lences to Wavey’s fam­ily, mainly Bon­nie (Mom), Peter (Dad), Cobi & Jessy.

“Rest in Peace Girl”

We will always remem­ber you with smiles on our faces.

Wavey girl, you were always an excit­ing chal­lenge when arriv­ing at The Dog House, we all could hear your excited bark­ing long before you would enter the build­ing and I would always chuckle (to myself) when I would see the look of embar­rass­ment on your Mom’s or Dad’s faces. I guess you just could not help being happy when you would come to visit us. How­ever, you were also an excel­lent mem­ber of our pack and your com­i­cal and sweet per­son­al­ity endeared you to all of us.
I will miss you very much, not to men­tion all the won­der­ful lit­tle gifts your Mom would always bring in for us.
From now on you will not be in pain any more, until we meet again girl.

With love from David and your 2 good friends Dash & Loo

It is with great sad­ness that we announce the recent pass­ing of Ruby on April 2, 2011 . Ruby was one of the sweet­est, gen­tlest and kind­est of dogs (the Choco­late Lab with the non-stop wag­ging tail) we ever had the priv­i­lege to care for. Unfor­tu­nately, after many brave bat­tles with sev­eral health ail­ments Ruby finally passed away qui­etly at the VEC.

The team at The Orig­i­nal Dog House would like to extend its deep­est heart­felt sym­pa­thies to,

Sheila and Sid Got­tlieb (Dr) and their Children.

Ruby will always be remem­bered fondly at The Orig­i­nal Dog House because this won­der­ful girl would always bring a smile to every­one who would meet her.

Rest in Peace Girl -

You will not suf­fer or hurt anymore.

 With all our Love

 From all of your friends at The Orig­i­nal Dog House

 Luke, Yael, Sarah, Olivia, Allyssa & Lori

May God always watch over you Ruby, until we meet again.

Love

David & Dash

Itis with great sad­ness that we announce the pass­ing of Etta-Mae on June 28, 2010. 

Etta was res­cued by Bobby Far­quhar and Anna McGib­bon when she was 2 years old from Kim Arthur DVM. Etta had been aban­doned by her for­mer own­ers at Dr Arthur’s clinic, for­tu­nately Dr Arthur kept her at the clinic for almost 2 years until Bobby and Anna stepped up and adopted Etta in 2000.

Life was an excit­ing expe­ri­ence with Etta, unfor­tu­nately, from the onset she suf­fered with some health prob­lems and those were exac­er­bated by some behav­ioural issues which she had devel­oped due to a lack of early social­iza­tion with dogs while wait­ing to be adopted.

For­tu­nately, Etta struck gold inso­far as to her 2 new won­der­ful Moms, they loved her at once and she returned every ounce of the love she received. How­ever, in order to be proac­tive both Bobby and Anna imme­di­ately con­tacted The Orig­i­nal Dog House Inc. and enlisted David’s help to reha­bil­i­tate Etta from her aggres­sive behav­iour with dogs.   

Within a short time under David’s watch­ful eye, Etta’s self con­fi­dence started to develop and soon there­after David inte­grated her into his day­care pro­gram. Etta’s rehab was a com­plete suc­cess; she enjoyed the com­pany of dogs and was taught how to social­ize and play safely. 

Etta had a full and happy life with her fam­ily and friends, she leaves behind her Mom Anna and her 4 legged sis­ter Tippy.

Rest in Peace girl under the watch­ful eye of your Mom Bobby.

              You will always be in our mem­o­ries and hearts.
