💙🐾🌈 Honouring Jaffe 🌈🐾💙

Our old boy Jaffe came to us a retired service dog. He was a seeing eye dog to a colleague of mine and therefore I knew Jaffe for nine years prior to him joining our family.

During his time with Chris (his previous owner) they enjoyed many adventures together. An avid Blue Jays fan, Jaffe helped Chris travel to several dozen baseball games in Toronto as well as traveling back and forth to Ottawa where his future wife attended law school. Jaffe once even came face to face with a live pig and also survived a dog attack. Jaffe seamlessly saw Chris’ world expand to include a wife and then two beautiful baby girls. He and Chris even travelled to England, not once, but twice.

Although Jaffe was part of my family for only a short eighteen months, we’ll always remember this lovely and giving boy for his gentle and easy-going nature.

💜Jaffe is missed by my family, but also by Chris & his family and all of the various staff & friends who got to know and adore him over the years.

2009 - December 8th, 2023

Harry loved sunning himself on our deck and always claimed whatever lap looked the comfiest. He was an old soul who waited patiently by my bed each morning as I settled in for my daily meditation. He loved to curl up and Zen out along with me everyday.

Love, Stella, Walter and our many wonderful family and friends 🐾💜
