The Rainbow Bridge 

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It’s called the rainbow bridge because of it’s many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of hills, meadows and valleys with lush green grass.

When a beloved pet dies, he goes to this place where there is food and water and warm spring weather.

The old and frail animals are young again. Those who are maimed are made whole again. They play all day with each other. There is only one thing missing. They are not with their special person who loved them on earth.

So each day they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up! The nose twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring! And this one suddenly runs from the group! You have been seen and when you and your special friend meet, you take them in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and again and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated.

 

In loving memory..

SnowyDreams Night Illusion NTD 2k9

~ October 2015 – May 2026 ~

Mia was a cherished member of our family and brought endless joy to our lives. While she was never intended to be a show or breeding prospect, she excelled in the role that mattered most—being a beloved companion. Mia had a wonderfully playful personality, a love of getting dirty, and a collection of amusing noises that always made us smile on our walks together. Affectionately known as “Pig Pen” and our “Pet Dog,” she held a special place in our hearts and was deeply loved by everyone who knew her.

In November 2025, Mia was diagnosed with liver cancer, a battle she faced with the same spirit and resilience that defined her life. Sadly, we said goodbye to her six months later. Though her time with us was far too short, the memories she gave us will last a lifetime. Run free, sweet girl—we miss your silly antics, your gentle heart, and the happiness you brought to our family every day. ❤️

<3 Zara <3

Kamchatka Dazzle Them NTD 2k9 T3

~ June 2016 – November 2025 ~

Zara was truly one of a kind and, without question, one of the most well-behaved dogs we have ever known. She was the perfect house dog—gentle, trustworthy, and content simply being by our side. Arriving from South Africa at just seven months of age, Zara quickly made herself at home with her endearing personality and unforgettable siren-like howl that became her signature. Though naturally shy and reserved with strangers, Zara formed incredibly deep bonds with those she loved. Once you earned a place in her heart, her loyalty and devotion were unwavering. While the show ring was never her passion, she excelled where it mattered most. Zara was one of the smartest and most dependable lead sled dogs we have ever had the privilege of owning, and her influence can still be seen in the many dogs she helped teach and mentor along the way. She set the standard for what a true leader should be.

At just 9½ years old, Zara lost her battle with lung cancer. She passed peacefully in her sleep, surrounded by her favourite people and canine companions. The house feels far quieter without her leading our morning sing-alongs with her unmistakable voice, and her absence is felt every day.

Wear your silver harness proudly, Zara—you earned it. Thank you for your loyalty, your wisdom, and the countless memories you gave us. You will forever hold a special place in our hearts. ❤️

~ August 2009 – August 2025 ~

The Matriarch of Our Pack

What can be said about Iceka that truly captures the impact she had on our lives? She was the dog who started it all. Our first show dog, our first foundation female, and the dog who introduced us to the wonderful, challenging, and rewarding world of purebred dogs. Because of Iceka, we discovered a lifelong passion that would shape so much of our future. Iceka was the definition of versatility. She excelled in everything asked of her, becoming one of our most accomplished and successful show dogs, a dependable lead sled dog, and an achiever in numerous canine sport title. No matter the challenge, she met it with confidence, determination, and enthusiasm. Yet her greatest accomplishments could never be measured in ribbons, titles, or awards. Above all else, Iceka was a beloved family member and my mom’s heart dog for nearly sixteen years. She was a constant companion through life’s highs and lows, always there with her steady presence, unwavering loyalty, and unmistakable spirit.

Losing any dog is heartbreaking, but losing a truly great dog—one who has been by your side for nearly three-quarters of your life—is a loss that is difficult to put into words. Just ten days shy of her 16th birthday, Iceka passed away following a short battle with cancer. True to herself, she remained happy, determined, and wonderfully stubborn right until her final day. We are endlessly grateful for the many years we were blessed to share with her. Her legacy lives on not only through the dogs that followed her, but through the countless memories, lessons, and love she gave our family throughout her remarkable life.

Run free, beautiful soul, and wear your silver harness proudly. Thank you for everything, Iceka. We will miss you always, love you forever, and carry you in our hearts for the rest of our lives. ❤️

<3 Gambler <3

Can Ch. SnowyDreams What Lies Ahead RN NTD 2k9

~ August 2018 – August 2023 ~

Gambler was an incredible boy who was taken from us far too soon. Full of personality and charm, he brought laughter wherever he went and was loved by everyone who met him. He loved showing off his signature “wave” trick, snuggling in bed at night, and keeping us entertained with his goofy antics.

At just five years old, Gambler passed away unexpectedly from what is suspected to have been an aneurysm or cardiac event. His sudden loss left a hole in our hearts that can never be filled. We miss him every day—from his wild zoomies around the yard to the countless circles he spun before finally settling into bed. Thank you for the joy, laughter, and love you brought into our lives, Gambi. You will always be remembered and forever loved. ❤️

~ October 2012 – January 2021 ~

Flare Bear, what can we say about you other than you were one of the silliest and most unforgettable dogs we have ever owned? Full of character and always ready to make us laugh, Flare brought endless joy to our lives with her unique personality, sweet nature, and wonderful temperament. While she was a little more independent than her sister Eden, Flare still loved her bedtime snuggles and being a house dog. She was famous for her zoomies and could never resist joining in on a group howl, no matter the time or place. Flare will always hold a special place in our hearts as the very first puppy born at SnowyDream—a milestone that made so many of our dreams come true. She was truly one of a kind and a dog who could never be forgotten.

Sadly, Flare passed away due to a mass on her liver, suspected to be cancer. Thank you, sweet girl, for all the love, laughter, and memories you gave us. You will forever walk beside us in our hearts and will be loved always. ❤️

~ January 2014 – April 2020 ~

Eden was truly a once-in-a-lifetime dog. She was our first bred-by Best in Show winner, an exceptional sled dog, and one of the most accomplished dogs we have ever owned. But beyond any title or achievement, she was our baby, our beloved house dog, and one of the greatest loves of our lives. She had the sweetest, gentlest soul and never met a stranger. Eden loved everyone she encountered, was wonderful with cats, adored puppies as if they were her own, and was happiest curled up on the couch for a cuddle. Her kindness seemed endless, especially in the bond she shared with Aliyah. From the day she was born, we knew there would never be another dog quite like her. She taught us countless lessons, gave us unforgettable memories, and filled our lives with more love than we could ever put into words.

We did everything we could to save her, but sadly Eden lost her short battle with pancreatitis. Though our hearts are broken, we are grateful for every moment we shared with her. Run free and rest easy, sweet girl. We take comfort in knowing that one day we will meet again. Until then, we know you are patiently waiting for us, just as loyal and loving as ever. We love you with all our hearts, and we always will. ❤️

<3 Paris <3

Nanook’s Etched In Ice 

~ June 2010 – June 2014 ~

Paris was a wonderfully silly girl whose larger-than-life personality never failed to make us smile. While the show world was never her passion, she truly came alive on the agility field and on the sled team. As a lead dog, she worked with confidence and enthusiasm, but agility was where she was happiest, showcasing both her athleticism and her love of life. Before her second birthday, Paris went to live with my grandparents and their other Husky, where she enjoyed the most wonderful life as a cherished and thoroughly spoiled house dog. She was deeply loved and brought endless joy to everyone around her.

True to her Siberian spirit, Paris was an adventurous soul who never let a fence stand in her way. Tragically, her adventurous nature led to a heartbreaking accident when she escaped the yard and was struck by a vehicle. Her loss was sudden and devastating, and she was taken from us far too soon. We miss her every day—her energy, her antics, and the happiness she brought into our lives. Love you forever, Perry. You will always hold a special place in our hearts. ❤️
