What a busy and beautiful July it was. Picard got to go to a variety of concerts, trying to determine if he prefers Jazz or the Vancouver Symphony classical music. He got a lot of water play time because there were lots of really hot days, and became really confident swimming in the local lake and splashing in the ocean mud flats. There were also lots of air-conditioned locations like the Surrey museum, the YMCA, the Casino, church, BC Place Stadium and restaurants that he enjoyed too. Yes, he watched another Whitecaps game, and he seems to be a lucky charm. They got a goal when Picard finished his volunteer session and was watching the actual game. That’s all he needed to know that his favourite soccer team was going to win the match, so he decided to leave before the crowds. Picard is so handsome that he always gets lots of positive attention wherever he goes, and his raiser gets to chat about all the wonderful aspects of raising and training him. He’s a great ambassador for PADS puppy power.

Next month, he will be going to a babysitter for 3 weeks, so we’ll see how amazing he is with a different person. Hope his next pupdate is just as exciting and successful.
