April was a busy month of activities!!
It started off with me coming backย from my puppyย swapย where I hadย an amazingย time!!ย Thenย Iย helped welcome Golly and Bazinga to my North Shore community and Brava to my Campus Canines UBC community. I guess Iย am going toย have a lot of mentoring to do in the next little while. Good thing I have lots of patience!
Thisย was my last month going to UBC classes for theย semesterย so I got to do a photoshoot for the school newspaper with my buddy Casper! I have been working on my sit duration just for the purpose of photo taking (haha). I got to end the semester withย a very funย beach romp with Casper and my puppy class furrendย Dahlia! We were lucky to be at the beach during a very, very, very low tide, so we took advantage and ran and ran and ran where we had never been able to before! The sand was so soft andย coolย on my toe beans!
I got to attend two PADS events this month. The first one was the BC Distilled Event.ย Iย got to spendย the day with amazing vendors andย talkย to the guests about how PADS dogs change lives.ย What was most exciting about this event was that Iย got to meetย one of my PADS idolsย AFDย Justice Facility Dog Puma! She told me about her job,ย and itย made me even more excited to become a working dog one day. She showed me her Puma paw cross, but I couldnโt quite get the hang of it. The second event Iย got to go toย was the Paddles for PADS Pickleball Event.ย Myย bestieย Orion and I headed up to Squamish to support the playersย andย we were welcomed by such a wonderful community.ย They gave us lots of love, and we got to learn about the game of pickleball!ย
At the end of the month, I got to attend my hoomanโs cousinโs glow bowling party! I was good at holding the balls so they didnโt run awayย butย I didnโt quite understand how to get it to roll so far. I think this may be a game you need fingers for! One last adventure of the month wasย getting to exploreย the Harrison Tulip Festival with Casper. The flowers smelt very lovelyย butย we were not allowed to eat them and had to be careful not to step on them or wag our tails too hard! Iย am hopingย for more summery weather next month so the hooman can stop making me wear my boots and rain jacket!
