Rafiki | July 2021

July has been a month to remember in so many ways. I went to an in-person puppy class and was super excited to see so many other dogs! Jackie and Heather led us through some training and I did my best to pay attention, but it was hard when other dogs got too...

Rafiki | June 2021

Wow, June was a busy and hot month! I LOVE being at school and being with kids. I’m good at settling down and just hanging out with people. The staff at the physiotherapy clinic also love me, they say I’m so good during the appointments, which is great because all I’m...

Rafiki | May 2021

May has been a beautiful month and also a month of adjustment for me. I no longer have a co-raiser, as my other person has a new dog to care for. I’ll miss Nikki, but I am also happy to be in one home. Sometimes transitions are hard for me. My human continues to take...

Rafiki | April 2021

I love going to school with my human and hanging out with kids. I make them smile, and they make me happy too. I’ve also been busy going to physio appointments; the physiotherapist loves me and always comments about how good I am. When my human tethers my leash to the...

Rafiki | March 2021

Spring is here! I love being outside and going places with my people. This month I was practicing my “go in” and impressed my human at her physio appointment when I curled up under the table. I also love going to school. Kids always smile when they see me and I know I...

Rafiki | February 2021

February was a lovely month! We celebrated pink shirt day at school, and my human even put a pink shirt and skirt on me. I love the kids, but I have to admit I didn’t love wearing the skirt. I wore it for the photo but didn’t want to keep it on longer. This month I...

Rafiki | January 2021

In January, I got to see some snow! My people took me snowshoeing, and I had so much fun jumping in the white powder. They say I am super playful! Throughout the week, I go to school with Nikki and then on weekends, I hang out with Chad and Rhona. I’m getting good at...

Rafiki | December 2020

My people kept saying that this Christmas was quieter than usual, but I still felt like it was full of new things. There was even a tree in the house! We went to pick out the tree from a neighbour’s farm and finally found “the one.” I love helping in any way I can...

Rafiki | November 2020

Well, the month of November has been fun! I am being co-raised so I go to school with Nikki Monday-Thursday and then I live with Chad and Rhona Friday-Sunday. On the weekends I love to hang out with Mackenzie and Shadow (Chad and Rhona’s dog/cat) and the rest of the...

Rafiki | September 2020

September has been busy with back to school activities.  Being around all the small kids moving fast and smelling good, it was hard for Rafiki to stay calm and not be able to run and jump with them. She has improved a lot over the month – being out on the...

Rafiki – February 2020

Rafiki has mostly been hanging out at home with his mom this month, but did get a chance to visit a sitter (and their pet dog) for a couple days during the last week.  It was a quiet visit; some hoomans came over for dinner one evening. Submitted By: Chad and Rhona...
