Copper IV | May 2023

Copper here and like every month when I am writing my pupdate, I am wagging my tail in excitement. I have so much to tell you because May 2023 was like no other month! With one of my raisers participating in the Vancouver tourism challenge, I had the incredible...

Copper IV | April 2023

Hey guys, it’s me again for my quick monthly update, and I am pleased to confirm that I am still testing to potentially enter into the breeding program. My eyes are beautiful, my hips and elbows look pawfect, and my heart is healthy – so it’s looking...

Copper IV | March 2023

If I thought February was busy and fun, I don’t know how I can describe March! I was everywhere and anywhere and I didn’t stop. Between going to Rogers Arena to see the Old Dominion performing on stage or the Canucks playing against San Jose Sharks, all...

Copper IV | February 2023

February 2023 has been awesome for a few reasons! First, we had snow and unlike last time, when I was in heat, I could enjoy it. Secondly, I welcomed Ollie, a 6 yrs old labradoodle, into my home while his mum was in Costa Rica. He was a little ‘low key’...

Copper IV | January 2023

That’s it. I am back to work full-time now that my heat is over, and let’s just say that I don’t mind. I am very happy to be back and to attend puppy (and Zumba) class, go to the cinema, ride the bus, spend some time at the theatre, help a few frens...

Copper IV | December 2022

Do you remember in June when I told you that being in heat is boring? It is, but during the holidays, it’s really tough as everyone has so many commitments and places to go to. My second heat started on Dec 1st, which means that I lost public access right at the...

Copper IV | November 2022

Funny how I told you on my last pupdate that November wouldn’t be as exciting as October…well, I was wrong because it was. It was exciting because I got to spend a week with my favourite local sitter and her retired PADS dog Walker. I experienced so much...

Copper IV | October 2022

Spooky, you said? Well, I would say soggy after spending an extremely rainy evening at Eerie Illusions. It was a great outing, and I not only enjoyed the entertainment, display, and scary sounds, but I also scored a visit to the Burnaby Museum. Despite the rain at the...

Copper IV | September 2022

I always have a lot to tell you, and this month is no different. What’s different, though, is that I only spent 10 days at my home this month! Most vacations ended at the end of Aug, but for me, it started on Sept 1st when I headed to South Surrey for 11 days at...

Copper IV | August 2022

I told ya’ last month that I was about to turn 1…well, I DID! and it was the best birthday EVER. I almost made it a weeklong celebration and included some time with my favorite sister, sharing a cupcake with a candle with my brother Dylan, having a party...

Copper IV | July 2022

I may have been complaining about the heat last month and I probably shouldn’t have because life is back to normal and it’s busy! Busy with vacation though, so it’s pretty awesome! We went away for the Canada Day Long weekend and I not only traveled...

Copper IV | June 2022

I am typically a busy puppy and have so many outdoor experiences in a month that I never know where to start. Well, this month will be short and simple as I went into heat on June 6th!  Being in heat is pretty boring! I am not allowed to do anything. No more public...

Copper IV | May 2022

May was fabulous …. Thank you for asking 🙂  My feline sister, little Luna the Nicomen Island cat, has fallen in love with me. She follows me around the house, grabs my legs, bites my cheeks and then cuddles into my tummy while I am sleeping. My raisers say that...

Copper IV | April 2022

March was all about theatre performances and work events, and this month was the same but much bigger and noisier! We went to the French presidential elections at the Vancouver Convention Center, the West Coast Amusements Park, the Festival du Bois for a full...

Copper IV | March 2022

March has been like no other month, and I can’t really say if I liked it or not.  I had dental surgery on March 2nd, so it obviously didn’t start off well, or I should say that it started off slowly 😉 I literally didn’t do anything for 4 days, but I...

Copper IV | February 2022

Between the Chinese New Year, Valentines’ Day, and Family Day, I had a lot of celebrating this month!  The annual Chinatown parade was cancelled. But as I work in Chinatown, I was still able to enjoy the magic in the air. Valentine’s day was very special...

Copper IV | January 2022

Remember when I told you that I was going on a little adventure last month? Well, it wasn’t a small adventure! I got to spend 17 days and nights outside of my home. My sitter was incredible, and she accepted me for who I was. She gave me love, food, walks, and...

Copper IV | December 2021

I am writing a little earlier this month as I’d like to wish you my very best for the holiday season and I also heard that I am going on a little adventure at the end of this month, into the beginning of the New Year, so I’ll be too busy to give you some...

Copper IV | November 2021

I just turned 4 months and I already feel like I have seen it all 😉 I am experiencing the Christmas season spirit after my trip to the Vancouver Christmas Market, the torrential rain and potential shortage of gas required that I take public transit on many occasions,...
