Hi friends!
This month, I enjoyed getting into the Christmas spirit with my human! I accompanied her to an ornament store, a holiday craft market (with PADS Blanco and Bubba), and the Vancouver Christmas market! I had a great time on all these outings and practiced my loose-leash walking and my patience while the humans browsed. I also watched my human set up her Christmas tree and other decorations. Thankfully, I’ve learned and matured a lot since last year and managed to refrain from zooming into the tree and knocking it down! This year, I just admired it calmly. At the end of the month, I also got to join all my Campus Canines UBC buddies at a holiday party on campus! It was a lot of fun. I got so much love from the club members and took some adorable photos with my puppy friends.
I also continued to accompany my human to university lectures this month. As always, I’m a pro in class and take lots of naps. Outside of school, we enjoyed some nice bike rides and trail walks. Towards the end of the month, the studying really ramped up as my human was preparing for her final exams. We started spending a lot of time in study rooms, which I’m finding rather boring. But hopefully her exams will be over soon, and we can get back to more fun outings and training!
And to wrap up the month, I got the BESTEST NEWS EVER: I’m officially a dad!! My first litter of puppies was born on November 26th! My wonderful baby mama, NSD Turbo, and I have 3 boys and 2 girls (pictures of them below). They are the H litter at National Service Dogs (NSD). The little pups are busy growing and learning so much in their whelping home in Ontario. I hope I get to meet them someday!
That’s all for now, see you all next month!
