Well, Summer is in full swing in the Okanagan and this month was once again full of new adventures.

I got to wander around a big car show with loud engines and lots of people. It was quite hot so the human made sure I had my cooling bandanna and lots of water breaks.

We had a final few playdates with my predecessor PADS Texas before he left for Advanced Training in Burnaby, I made sure to pay close attention to all his words of wisdom (in between trying to chew his earsโ€ฆ).

One of my biggest outings this month was tackling the behemoth known as โ€œCOSTCOโ€. Mum was super impressed with how well I handled the crowds and all the smells, I didnโ€™t even try to sneak any samples while we wandered around.

The heatwave also depended on this month, driving our temperature up to puppy boiling levels! Luckily my humans have a swimming pool because Uncle Tiller and I spent a lot of time in there this month trying to keep cool. I am proud to say I am a true water dog, although it has taken me a bit of practice not to sink like a brick when I jump off the stepsโ€ฆ

Well, thatโ€™s it for me this month, canโ€™t wait to see what August brings!
