Astro II | May 2025

Hello friends, I didn’t really go on any exciting outings last month. I also did not travel anywhere interesting. I just went to Red Deer for a boring meeting. We went to Costco on the way home and that was fun and Jen said I was a very good boy. We went to a dinner...

Astro II | April 2025

I had a great time in April as we went on vacation! We spent 2 weeks at the cabin and I got to go hiking off leash every day. I love being in the forest! I saw lots of deer but was good about giving them their space. I perfected my “go in” at restaurants. People...

Astro II | March 2025

Today I would like to tell you about all of the interesting places I have napped in the last month. I had a nap at the theatre. It was a murder mystery and there were gunshots and everything. Snore. I had a nap at the ballet, though I did enjoy watching the Wizard (of...

Astro II | February 2025

My dear friends, My jet setting lifestyle continued last month as I accompanied Jen to San Francisco for a meeting. Airplanes are no big deal to me; I just don’t like take-off and landing very much. Good thing I get stuffed kongs to keep me busy! My first train ride...

Astro II | January 2025

Well friends, I had my surgery this month. I handled it like a champ and got to look very fashionable in my onesie and donut. The hardest part was that I wasn’t allowed to run around for 10 days afterward. I have been a rockstar at puppy class and am doing really well...

Astro II | December 2024

I last wrote to you from Palm Springs, where I spent the last week of November and first week of December. It was nice to come home after 2 weeks away. After that, it was full on Christmas preparations. I definitely got into the spirit as you will see in my photos. I...

Astro II | November 2024

Hello friends! I have so much to tell you. I was very busy this past month and, to top it all off, I had my first birthday! Probably the biggest piece of news is that we are having weekly, in person puppy classes again so I get to see my PADS fur friends every week. I...

Astro II | October 2024

Time is flying.  I must be having fun! I’m already 11 months old.  There’s not too much new to report this month.  We moved into our office at the new cancer center.  Jen says the view is better, but I’m not a fan as it is smaller than the last one...

Astro II | September 2024

Well, friends, I had a very busy month. I’ve been meeting up with my buddies PADS Morley, Shah and Blazer for some training, as Jen says I really need to learn to be calm and focused around other dogs. Easier said than done! I want to play! We went to Walmart and the...

Astro II | August 2024

I got to do so many new things this month! I went and stayed with a puppy sitter for 3 nights, and she has several dogs. I get really excited around other dogs, and it took me a while to learn one of the dogs didn’t want to play with me, but I had a great time playing...

Astro II | July 2024

July flew by!! Jen was really busy at work, and that was OK with me. I have a pretty sweet setup in all of the places where we hang out at work, and I have adoring fans who watch me from afar, no matter where I am. I really like other dogs and think that I should get...

Astro II | June 2024

Hello again! I can’t believe another month has gone by. I turned 7 months old this month, but I’m a big boy, so some people think I’m fully grown. Nope! I’m still a silly puppy and have more growing to do. I’m working on staying in one position for longer periods of...

Astro II | May 2024

Hello friends! Astro here! The month of May started with more travel as I accompanied Jen to a conference in Minneapolis. I quite enjoy flying and don’t mind being in busy airports or sitting on a plane when it is delayed for a couple of hours due to a...

Astro II | April 2024

Astro had a lot of “firsts” in April.  He went on a 2 week vacation in Palm Springs which involved going to the airport, flying on a plane and staying in a different house for the first time.  He took everything in stride and had a great time in...

Astro II | March 2024

Astro is growing, growing, growing!! He is already over 40lbs at the age of 18 weeks. He had a busy month of going to work at the hospital every day and many other outings and errands. We even went to Bass Pro Shop and he was not at all fazed by the numerous examples...

Astro II | February 2024

Astro is now 13 weeks old. February was a month of all kinds of new sights, sounds and experiences. He has made tremendous progress and is proving himself to be a smart, but “spicy” (as Heather, the trainer, would say) boy. He went to work at the Foothills...

Astro II | January 2024

January was a month of big changes for Astro. He left his littermates and the home of his wonderful breeder/ caretakers behind one week ago and came to live with me. He’s handling the transition well, and we are getting to know each other. He has already been...
