March was a good month! A filthy play in the forest with Cela’s pup pals meant that we started things off with a bath…that also became a training opportunity to settle in a pet store! We moved away from a snuffle mat and introduced some new toys, which...

Cela happily ‘leaped’ into February! We started the month with a ‘Seven Sisters’ litter reunion/training session. Fantastic opportunity for Cela to focus on her training with the distraction of her litter mates. And it was great to connect with...

January was a quiet month for Cela, which wasn’t such a bad thing with the cold temperatures… But I suspect Cela would have preferred the option of frolicking in all that snow. She was under leash arrest though, as she was spayed in early January. This...

What a month! December was filled with many festive activities and new experiences for Cela. We just completed a 2 week puppy swap so Cela came back home and immediately wondered who had been sleeping in her bed! But all was forgotten when she had her first romp back...

November started off GREAT – Cela turned one on the 1st and days later, she was able to interact with other doggos again (she finished her heat cycle!) – so PAWTY. She celebrated with her sisters, had lots of yummy dog treatos, and all the raisers...

October started off with lovely mild weather, which paired perfectly with a couple of forest walks with Cela’s pals. Then by the second week of October, Cela was well into her first heat cycle. This meant we had to pivot and adjust activities indoors, so we...

Cela eased into summer and spent the Canada Day weekend frolicking on Spanish Banks. In fact, she spent three days in July at this beach as the weather was fantastic. But it’s not all play – Cela continues to settle well at both my work and home offices and is...

June got off to a good start as we spent some time on Bowen Island relaxing, and Cela got to rest as she was a little under the weather. She then was able to charm sitter CJ while I travelled for work, and things returned to the familiar mid-month, which meant...
