January was a bit of a recovery month after the hustle and bustle that December brought with the holidays. We were lucky enough to get a bonus snowfall, and we took full advantage and snuck in a few extra river walkies.

January is the kickstart to the birthday season in our house. We have one birthday now and two next month. Now that I know we get birthday cookies, I say bring on the parties!!!

The new year also means our regular puppy classes start back up, and itโ€™s so fun getting to see my puppy pals again, even if from afar.

This month also welcomed a new puppy in training into the house when the grandpawrents got their new recruit, Pads Alcy, from the seven sisters’ litter. I get to put my mentor hat on now, as I won’t be the youngest anymore.
