Blazer had a busy month of PADS field trips and outings with us. He is always ready and raring to go whether in cape or out of it. We spent a day at my parents’ home out of town, which is always a favourite of Blazer’s. He romped through snow that was much deeper and...

Blazer is one! He watched me make and decorate his cake with all his favourite things – peanut butter, greek yogurt, applesauce and carrots and acted as quality control by sampling the ingredients. He couldn’t believe it when I finished and stashed it away in the...

January was very pleasant weather-wise for the most part. Blazer joined us for many walks around our neighbourhood and accompanied us to the library, grocery store, Canadian Tire and a drive out to Carstairs. Blazer looks forward to his weekly puppy classes, where he...

Blazer spent the first part of December recovering from a mild case of kennel cough during which he wasn’t able to attend puppy class or go on any public outings. This gave him an opportunity to perfect his ‘off switch’, and rest a lot. We had to come up with ways to...

Blazer was very excited to be back to weekly in-person puppy classes. He knows where he is the moment we step out of the car, and he can’t wait to get inside and greet all of his friends! Because of this, he’s had quite a few lessons in staying calm. He hasn’t quite...

The hot days of summer gave way to cooler temperatures, fall colours and a first minor snowfall, and Blazer was intrigued by all of it. He spent some time out of town at my parents’ place – one of his favourite places to go. I’m pretty sure he knows we’re headed there...

We were away for the first couple of weeks of September, which gave Blazer the opportunity to stay with a sitter. He had a great time experiencing new things with a new person and adapted to the changes very well. Blazer had a few outings with a couple of his PADS...

August brought Blazer some fun days of exploring new places. He accompanied us when we picked up our son’s birthday cake from Made By Marcus Ice Cream, and they gave him a special treat in the form of an ice cream pup cup. He ate it all and looked for more when it was...

Blazer accompanied us on a walk through downtown Calgary and on to Prince’s Island Park, where we had dinner on the beautiful patio at the River Café. Blazer was intrigued by the parkade and the elevator ride out in the glass elevator. He was very good at walking on...

Blazer started June with a short stay with a sitter. I was a bit unsure of how he would be because he is a rather strong-willed pup. As it happened, my concerns were unnecessary. He was well-behaved and as mannerly as a baby puppy can be. He went on a few field trips...

Blazer has had a busy month of outings and training. He has enchanted people at the library, grocery stores, restaurants and Market Mall. The distractions in public places can be tricky to navigate, but he is really good at keeping his attention on me. He is an...

On April 12, Blazer II flew from Vancouver to Calgary with the PADS Fly Guys. He made fast friends with PADS Wowza who accompanied him on the same flight. We picked him up from the airport, and he became one more furry member of our household. Blazer was pretty calm...
