I arrived at Teri and Rory’s on November 1st and will stay for a few months. I had a very chill first week while I settled in with their released PADS dogs.

Since then, I have shown everyone what an amazing girl I am, adapting to fun group training sessions at home, in malls, restaurants, and the library. My durations in public settings are improving daily. I am able to relax and practice greetings, and small children are my favourite.
I have met many wonderful people while I am out and about, and have charmed everyone with my lovely, mellow demeanour.

I spent the last week farm-sitting up in Pemberton with six PADS dogs and a German Shepard. Teri said my social skills with people and dogs are wonderful, I play nicely and settle well in a group.

I did sample some of the horse droppings, but happily brought these gifts to Teri, dropping them at her feet when asked. She said I excelled at farm chores and displayed very nice behaviour around the horses.

We have gone on many hikes and practiced sitting nicely for group photos.
