September was a big month for us. We went camping, not once, but TWICE! We got a very good deal on a very old motorhome. It’s noisy and bumpy and it took a while for me to get in, but after the first time getting in I was fine with it and it sure was warm and cozy...

July has been a hot and fun month. Mum and I have been walking a lot, as we are committed to minimum 10,000 Mum steps per day in MOVEFORPADS fundraiser huntil the end of August, and will likely continue after that. As it’s been so hot we have been having lots of...

August was a super fun month for me. Mum and I did a pile of walking, putting in even more steps than usual. We participated in the MOVEFORPADS fundraiser, and happily, thanks to some lovely generous people who donated to our page, we met our goal!! One of our...

Blaze continues to be a delightfully calm and affectionate pup and is doing well with all of his cues. His two morning cuddles which he wants even before going outside or having breakfast give a happy start to my days. Then he patiently waits at the kitchen doorway...

Now that I’m nearly two years old and it’s nearly summer, with lots of hot sunny days, I have decided that I LOVE WATER. I have always liked to do a bit of wading, but now the water calls to me, so I jump in for lots of little swims and a few big swims. I really...

April was a fun month for us, spending lots of time outdoors, going on nice long walks each day and practicing my loose leash walking skills. Mum is really pleased with me for not trying to pull toward other dogs that we pass and she is especially proud of how well I...

March was a fun month for me. Mum and I had lovely long walks in lots of different parks. Two of my little grand-boys stayed with us for two weeks during spring break. There wasn’t much peace and quiet but we had fun together and the boys liked to “train” me and give...

Well, I for one am getting tired of winter and tired of covid19. Mum and I usually go out for long walks each day, even if it’s raining but it’s so much nicer if it’s a sunny day. One day we were out for our walk and kept getting bonked on the head with hail, but it...

January was a bit of a quiet month for us. We didn’t see many people and didn’t spend much time in the malls or stores because we are trying to stay away from that pesky virus. Mum and I are disgusted because when we go to the food fair to practice me ignoring food on...

Well, it was an interesting month. One day Mum and Dad and I went to Knapps and looked at a whole bunch of trees, then they put a big tree into the back of the van with me!!! When we got home they wrestled it into our house and stood it up in a stand full of water...

Mum and I have had a busy month, doing some Christmas shopping and making a bunch of fleece blankets for people. Actually Mum does all the making and I try to supervise by getting up close while she is working on them, and trying to test them out. Mum just doesn’t...

Hi folks, We had a very outdoorsy October, with lots of lovely walks through the colourful leaves that are laying all over the place, practicing my loose leash walking while ignoring other dogs we passed by. I don’t get too excited about most of the little dogs we...

September was another busy month for us. Our fun camping trip extended well into September and the weather continued to be beautiful. Actually it was sizzling, smoking hot! I say smoking figuratively, because when much of the province was blanketed by smoke from the...

August was a big exciting month for me. Mum and I did lots of interesting walks all over the place as we were “moving for PADS”. That gave us lots of opportunity to polish my loose leash walking and to work on dog distraction. We had more work on dog distraction and...

July was a big month for me! My litter mates and I turned one year old and went to a fun birthday party where we had lots of yummy pupper treats and our people had lots of yummy fattening treats that some of the raisers brought. Mum and Dad went away and left me with...

Mum and I are very happy that things are opening up again with this covid business, so she doesn’t leave me behind as much. We still have lots of long walks together, and I am happy to be in my kennel when she doesn’t take me, especially if I get a stuffed Kong, but I...

The longer we have Blaze, the more delightful we find him! Our morning cuddle is still the best time of day, and it warms my heart that for him, our cuddle takes priority over toileting and even breakfast. It’s a joy! Blaze is very affectionate and loves to be close...

Life has changed for us with the pandemic and the arrival of spring. We have been enjoying long walks together every day, polishing Blaze’s loose leash walking, and practicing ignoring other dogs, ducks, cats, squirrels, geese. For the most part Blaze resists trying...

With no public access and physical distancing for much of this month due to the covid pandemic we have been going on long walks most days. This way I can get in shape and Blaze can practice his loose leash walking which really is pretty good, and ignoring other dogs...

Besides all our usual errands, shopping trips, and bi-weekly destressing visits to e-comm, we went to a destressing event at SFU where Blaze enjoyed lots of lovin’ from many students and staff. We also went to Pet Expo and saw lots of exotic birds, reptiles and even a...

January was a busy month for us. I had so much fun playing with Bessie when she stayed with us for three weeks in December and January. She helped to teach me that open grates aren’t so scary to walk on after all, and that treats happen when we walk on grates. I don’t...

This has been an exciting month for me with lots of socializing and lots of play. I was a really good boy at the PADS Christmas party, despite all the other dogs that were there. I really wanted to play, but Mum and I thought my manners were very good. Mum and I went...

Blaze is a delightful pup, calm and affectionate for the most part, and catches on quickly to new things we are learning. He is very enthusiastic about some shaping exercises we are doing – putting his head into a cone, and putting his front feet up on a perch....
