It is with heavy hearts that the Halickman Family announces the passing of their beloved dog  Rupert, on November 24, 2021.

Rupert  was already an adult dog when he joined our family over 11 years ago, but the fit was instant. Although his actual age was unknown, it was widely accepted that he was incredibly old.

Rupert  spent a year with the family on Boxwood Cr., in Porter Creek where he met many lifelong friends. He then lived on 11th  Avenue for many years, where the neighbourhood kids unofficially adopted him. It was not unusual for kids unknown to the family to knock on the door and ask if they could play with  Rupert, and the answer was always yes.

The legend of Porter Creek’s one-eyed Border collie grew, but the fame never got to his head.  Rupert  spent his retirement years out in the country, where he continued to steal hearts and kill gophers. Although everyone dearly misses  Rupert, we can all agree our lives are better for having known him.
