Pride Oct 1Pride Oct 2Hi everyone!Β  I really had an exciting October exploring my new home.Β  I went for walks every day around my neighbourhood with my Dad and we even went to Iona Beach for a great hike.Β  And I discovered the grocery and drug stores, the dentist’s office and my favourite place, the pet store!Β  I got to go to puppy class and play with the other PADS dogs afterward and I played with my buddy, Verdot, when he came for a sleepover.Β  The visit to the BCSPCA for my shots wasn’t so bad and I loved meeting all the people at the Volunteer Information Sessions.

Dad says I’m growing like a weed and that I’m now getting β€œgangly” (whatever that means) and that my ears are too big for my head.Β  Dad also says I’m a pretty smart boy because I learn the things he teaches me pretty quickly.Β  That makes me happy!Β  But Dad says I can be crazy at times, especially when I chase my tail or run laps inside the house or tear around the backyard like a monster was after me.

Speaking of monsters, Dad took me out for a walk on Halloween night while all the kids were out trick-or-treating.Β  I barked a couple of times just to let them know I was there to protect my Dad.Β  There were fireworks too but they didn’t scare me one bit!
