"I don't know why my Big Brother complained so much about being a Pirate for Halloween... I have this costume? Does this mean I get more treato's?" - Trapper, Halloween 2025

Trapper is the 5th doggo to be the Pirate 🦜
Long live the Pirate puppy costume tradition!

Teachers are standing up.
We are tired of being hurt, ignored, and stretched beyond our limits.

In Alberta, I have the right to:
✋ Not have desks thrown at me.
✋ Not suffer bruises, cracked ribs, or broken teeth from student violence.
✋ A safe, supported classroom for everyone.
✋ Manageable class sizes that allow every child to thrive.

Safety isn’t a privilege. It’s a right.

One year ago, Don and I made a big decision… and today we’re finally ready to share the news! 💛

Please help us welcome the newest (and wildest) member of our pack… Trapper Jean 🐾

Born in January 2024 and rescued through ARF, Trapper’s journey to us was pure fate. By July, two friends—completely unaware of each other—both told us they had found our puppy. And just like that, along came “Chickie.”

With her crooked ears, endless energy, and mischievous spirit, Chickie came for a “day visit”… and never left. 💫

She’s our little hellion — fiercely loyal, endlessly playful, a menace to her big brother Hawk’s babies, and the best guardian we could ask for. 💥🛡️

Welcome home, Trapper Jean. You complete us. 💕
