Chinook loooves her cuddles – with humans and with other dogs. So she was very happy when PADSPear came to stay for a while this month. It meant a bigger puppy pile to lie on top of! It also meant another pup to play with. The spring weather meant more time...

Chinook got to take a trip to see family in BC in March. While there, she got to see some old dog friends and meet some new ones. Her manners were wonderful with them all, but she was most excited to spend time with some young humans – one was just 11 months...

February was a pretty exciting month for Piglet. Not only was it her birthday – she and her Helicopter littermates turned two – but she went on a few fun outings. The more usual trips to the grocery and drug stores were, but she also went on a field trip...

Chinook returned from the puppy sitter in mid-December with glowing reports of how bright she is! As well as feedback about her needing to exercise a bit more self-control around things that excite and interest her. No surprise there since she’s quite the...

Chinook spent October and November with two different sitters. Spending time with other folks helps us learn more about the dogs. One thing we’ve learned about Chinook is she is very lovable, smart and fun. The sitters all enjoy her ‘go-getter’...

August started with vacation and visits with family. Chinook enjoys a good road trip and loved the adventures with her dog friends. They went up mountains for walks and for runs by the lake. We learned that she is actually a water dog – she ran right into the...

Chinook continues to be an incorrigible character who really does make people laugh. She loves every person and dog she meets and had fun outdoor playdates with several PADS puppies this month. As you can see in her photos, Chinook was very helpful with the repairs...

Chinook is sometimes fondly referred to as a tank – not just because of her short, stocky stature, but because there doesn’t seem to be anything that will stop her from getting to what she wants. She just plows her way through. She’s having to learn...

Chinook moved back into the city in March. This little (she’s cute, short and stocky) girl is full of drive and energy! One of the challenging things for her ever since she was a little puppy is to actually relax when she’s not working. She’s made...

This month I got to go on a road trip with my friends, Heather and Cedar, out to the Okanagan to see all of the PADS pups out there. We had a great time and I even got one more chance to swim and run in the green grass before coming back to chilly Alberta. I have...

The most exciting thing I did this month is stay with my first puppy-sitters! While my raisers were away, I got to sleepover with a new dog friend and learn the rules in a new house. I learned how to take breaks and rest in the shade during the heat wave we had in...

Summer is the best! I get to spend time playing outside with PADS Iroko, and we like to lay down together to watch our raisers work in their garden. I love visiting new places, especially if I get to wear my vest. I went on my first road trip and met a special kind...

After spending a long time working at home with my raisers, I have finally gone on my first field trips! I love wearing my vest because it means that I will get snacks for doing things like sitting and walking nicely. We have gone to the bank, a garden centre, a...

I have moved into my new home where PADS Iroko lives, too! He is in Advanced Training and has been showing off his skills for me. I try my best to be just like him – even if I have WAY more energy. I have been enjoying the spring weather by playing outside in...
