Míša

2019 - 2025

Just a few days after I arrived in a new city and a new home, Míša appeared at the big glass porch doors, small and curious, hoping for a scrap of food from this unfamiliar human. Soon, it became our routine — every morning before work, every night before bed. Those moments gave us chance to learn each other, to trust each other. And so, our journey together began.
We circled around one another until we found the way. From the very beginning, Míša knew, and he waited patiently for me to realize it. Always turning to face me, guiding me with his presence. Until one day, I found the spot for him — and he shifted just enough to make a room for me beside him. From that moment on, it was him and me against the world.
He taught me countless secrets and lessons I will cary for the rest of my life. He never gave up on me, never walked away. Even in moments of confusion or doubt, he forgave and stayed.
Now, with him gone, it feels like it is just me against the world. And yet... I understand why he had to leave. His work here was complete, while mine continues. I am grateful for the years at his side — the best years of my life, even in tough times. And when my work is done, when my time will comes, I know we will meet again.
Until then, rest in peace, and may the earth be light upon you, my friend.
Thank you, Míšo.

I would like to sincerely thank North Bay Animal Hospital, where my beloved Míša was always cared for with such love and dedication. I knew he was in the best hands and that you always did everything possible for his health. The care, kindness, and support you gave us during the most difficult moments meant more to me than I can ever express.
I would also like to thank Gateway Pet Memorial (Ottawa location) – thanks to you, I have beautiful keepsakes of Míša that will forever remind me of him. Your gentle and compassionate approach during his cremation helped me feel that he left with dignity and the respect he truly deserved.
Thank you for being part of his journey and for helping me carry this heavy loss. Míša will forever remain in my heart.
