June is the best month because it is my BIRTHDAY! I am told I got another year more handsome but I still enjoy doing cute things. I spend my mornings “mastering” my “go-in” command and “loose-leash” walking in the afternoon. I must...

This month has been great! I had lots of outdoor time and when I was not exploring, I would sometimes use my best friend to nap on. I discovered these things called “balloons”, and I am not sure how I feel about them…invading my space. I am still...

I love my walks through the snowy woods, but spring is just around the corner, and I am all smiles for grassy fields. The seasons might be changing, but my training regime has not. I am constantly improving my skills and focus when visiting the library or big shopping...

Well, August was a strange month. I had to go to the vet and the next thing I know, I have to wear a cone. I was sore for a while but I healed really fast. Took it easy most of the month and just focused on basic training at home. I did get the chance at the end of...

March started off really well. I love going shopping with my humans – they take me everywhere! My job is to make sure that the “haul” is safely stowed back in the car. Then half way through the month, something changed. I was no longer going...

Colt has been to the mall and on a lot of road trips this month. We spent Christmas in Regina and New Year’s Eve in Edmonton. He slept most of the way and only woke up during pit stops. He is definitely a great puppy to travel on the road with. Colt has started...
