Well, I cannot believe that itโ€™s been a year since I left my mom and my other siblings on Dec 27th, 2019. That was a huge day for me and Iโ€™ve been with my latest mom and dad since Mayโ€ฆtime really does fly. When I look back at my baby picture, I’m the one in the middle, Iโ€™ve grown a lot!

I had a really nice and quiet Christmas. I got a new bacon flavoured Benebone and a stuffy toy which I love and the stuffy is already in the โ€˜needs surgery pileโ€™โ€ฆhmm. They made me put on some flashy head gear too and took more photos of me โ€“ well, letโ€™s just say Iโ€™m happy this is over with!

This month Iโ€™ve had some things to work especially hard on. Because I continue with the alert barking at some people and other puppies, and I donโ€™t always like to put on my cape, I have been cape free for most of this month and have tried some different tools to help with these challenges. Iโ€™ve quite enjoyed being out of cape and I found out that I really like sticking my head thru all these novel objectsโ€ฆso, I have a feeling the cape is coming back to me starting tomorrowโ€ฆitโ€™s a New Year!

Thanks to all of you who have been following my journey this year and supporting me on my Instagram page โ€˜padssamaraโ€™. My family and I would like to wish you all a healthy and happier 2021 and many more Benebones for me!
