About Dexter
Dexter was part of our family for thirteen years. Everyone who met him loved him — there wasn't an aggressive bone in his body. He was just happy. Happy to see you, happy on his walks, happy with a tennis ball. That was enough for him, and somehow it was enough to make everyone around him feel better too. He's missed every day.
Our Story
The Day We Met
"We went to see a litter of Springers, and Dexter chose us before we chose him. He wouldn't leave our side — we just knew. He sat on my wife's lap the whole drive home, over an hour, good as gold. When we walked through the door, our daughter screamed the place down — terrified of this tiny bundle of fur. He became her best friend."
Our Special Bond
"He was just always there. Whenever any of us needed him, he knew. A bad day, a quiet moment, it didn't matter — Dexter would find you and settle in beside you. He made every single one of us feel safe. In a house full of noise, he was the calm."
Favourite Memory
"There wasn't one special moment. Having him with us every day was the special moment. Thirteen years of walking through the door and him being there. He could turn a bad day at work or a rough day at school into nothing, just by being himself. That was his gift — every single day, without fail."
What I Miss Most
"The grunts. The stealing. The chasing. The noise of him just being in the house. It's the little things you don't expect to miss that hit the hardest. He was one special little man. He'll never be replaced, and we wouldn't want him to be."
