Wiki RemembersToday Wiki was able to see her Puppy Raisers, Honour and Rachel, again, and it was the most fantastic reunion I’ve witnessed. My daughter loved meeting the women that raised our Fabulous Flunkie, and I’ll forever be grateful to them for all they’ve done for her. Honour and Rachel, thank you both again from the bottom of my heart. I promise today was just a goodbye for now.
