December has been a wonderful month. I accompanied my hooman to her final exam and then got to have a well-deserved rest with my pals Taj and PADS Casper.

Once school was finished for the semester, I started noticing these festive things popping up everywhere. It turns out that December is the time for winter holidays. We had a holiday-themed puppy class where we played lots of games, and of course, the hoomans had to do a photoshoot.

With some dry but cold weather, I have had lots of time to recharge my batteries exploring the forest with my pals Taj and PADS Bowie. A win for the month was when my bestie, PADS Donner, and I showed our maturity and had a nap in the same bed together! I can do this with other dogs, but with my bestie Donner, we always get excited, so our hoomans were so proud when we had a snooze together. I have had a wonderful 2025 and know exciting things are to come in 2026.
