April continued to be a busy month for me. We spent an afternoon at PetFest with some of my PADS friends. I got to meet lots of people and practice my ‘go say hi’ (which I’m pretty good at if I say so myself), and I settled well with all of the...

In March, I continued my busy lifestyle with hockey arenas, errands and off-leash parks! I supported my hooman brother during his hockey playoffs by wearing a silly blue lei around my neck, but I got lots of compliments and made people smile, so that was ok. I spent...

This month was another busy month with errands and hockey arenas, which included some road trips. I handled it all with my usual calm, cool demeanour. I had lots of walks and an off-leash adventure with some of my released PADS dog friends. We continue to work on my...

This month had its ups and downs! Early in the month, I spent almost a week with a sitter and her family. I had so much fun, and it sounds like they thought I was pretty great, too. I had lots of walks and went to watch the boys play ball hockey – I was a pro...

December was full of fun things! I spent time running errands with my raiser as Christmas was coming. We went shopping at the mall, where still nothing phased me. We also spent time at the arenas as there as some big tournaments happening here in Calgary. I did charm...

November was another busy month for me! Apparently, this Christmas thing is coming again which means there is a tree in our house and we spend time shopping. I’m pretty good with the tree, except there were a couple of soft ornaments I thought were meant for me,...

I have been busy again this month. I have been out on errands where I usually bring some smiles to people, and I spend lots of time at the hockey arena. I settle there really well and am not bothered by the noise. I was even at the mall, and the fire alarm went off! I...

I kept very busy in September! I was back at the hockey arenas, but that’s ok, because we have discovered a nice off-leash park close by, and it’s lots of fun going for a walk and exploring before I settle at the arena. I love to greet other dogs and have...

August was another busy month for me, and it was my birthday, which resulted in me getting a yummy treat (after I posed nicely!). We went on a hike to some waterfalls and through the trees, which was fun to explore. It was back-to-school shopping and back to the...

July was a fun month! I went to the Willow Park Charity Golf Tournament with many PADS friends. We charmed everyone we met, and I was on my best behaviour taking pictures with any of the golf teams that wanted a PADS dog in their picture. I also went to the river for...

It was another busy month! I came back to my raiser’s home early in the month, and we were busy with errands because they were taking a holiday. I did get a special treat on one of these errands: a pup patty from A&W! I guess they were selling these to...

Bowden went on a puppy swap with another raiser this month! He got to work downtown, where he managed elevators, meetings, crowds and noise with ease. Bowden charms everyone he meets with his sweet, chill personality. He also spent time at the dog park, where he had...

April was another busy month for me! I met some other PADS pups at PetFest, and we did our best to represent PADS. Everyone thought we were adorable and well-behaved, so I think we did our job well. My family went away for a weekend, and during my time with the...

It was another busy month for me! I spent some time at the arenas and at the mall where I continue to impress those who see me as I listen well and am very attentive to my raiser. I had a fun Easter weekend as I spent it with released PADS Shea and her family. We had...

I had another busy month. As usual, I spent some time at the hockey arena where I continued to charm everyone. My raiser gets asked lots of questions about what I’m being trained for so I sit and listen and am on my best behaviour (which my raiser says...

January was another busy month! It was pretty cold for a week or so in January so we didn’t get outside for very long. My raiser put these booties on me so I could play in the backyard for a bit longer. I thought they were pretty strange at first, but once I got...

It was a busy month for me! I spent lots of time at the hockey arenas, which I understand will be pretty normal for me these coming months. Then this Christmas thing was coming, so, a tree went up in our house. I was really good with it, didn’t bother it at all...

I moved to my new raisers towards the end of this month. When I arrived, PADS Tracker was still here for a couple of days. We had fun playing but also learned to settle when asked to. I went to my first hockey games and wasn’t bothered at all by the noise, the...
