Well, June was a busier month since I started going out in public with my cape on againโ€ฆso Iโ€™m happier that I can go places with my raisers, although, I need to be on my best behaviour. I enjoyed going shopping at Home Depot and especially where they have food and shopping carts like Costco and Superstore. My raisers said that I did a super job after not having been there for so long.

I also enjoyed going to Granville Island where I could just look at everything going on around me โ€“ I saw many of those big birds, and my raisers were very happy when I didnโ€™t bark or lunge at them or any other dogs or people.

I also very much enjoyed meeting my sister Shade and buddy Koda for some trail runs again. We worked on my recall and interactions with other puppiesโ€ฆI did really well โ€“ oh, and I love those special treats I get only on these days!

Otherwise, I am settling in nicely in my new home in the city. Iโ€™m getting more used to all the noises and the two kitties that I live with are putting up with my many kisses that I share with them (at least Iโ€™m not getting kitty smacked as much as before!). Iโ€™ve also been working quite hard on some different things like engagement on my loose leash walking. Sometimes my raiser just starts running around and she expects me to follow her โ€“ and I do because I know that I am going to get extra kibbles.

Oh, and I am also still working on not barking at people when they are in my yard. I am trying to learn that people are friendly and not going to hurt me or my raisers. Iโ€™m just out of practice I think!
