My raiser said that December was very cold. Too bad she doesn’t have a fur coat like me. It was also really slippery out. My raiser slipped! Good thing I was in front and stopped her from falling. One day we went to a park and visited a place that had a whole...

November is the first full month that I have been with my New Raiser, so I had a lot of things to adjust to. Do you know that different Raisers may say a cue slightly differently, hold their body differently, or might even feed me in different ways? So my first couple...

Hi Everyone! In the first week of October, I started to cough. Not a great start. My sitters took good care of me as Kennel cough makes you tired and want to cuddle, which they did every day! I am super thankful for them. I returned to my family once I stopped...

Hi Everyone! This month I went on a jet plane to visit family in another province! It was my very first plane ride, and I was ready. The airport was not so busy, which was great for my raiser and me. The hardest part for me was settling while we waited to board our...

Hi Everyone! Happy Canada Day. I was lucky to be with my sitters and to watch the fireworks. Crowds and sound don’t often bother me. I have watched them before, but we always keep our distance, and my raisers/sitters always look for signs of stress. This month...

Hiya Everyone! We have been doing a lot of work on cape and experiencing a few new places. I do like to put my cape on and get to work. Often I like to sit at the top of our stairs to decide if I want to go for a walk. BUT if I see my cape, I run to the front door....

Hiya Everyone! Spring has arrived, and I went on a road trip to Tofino. The sun and beach were super chill. We all needed the rest. My loose leash skills on the little trails were noticed! My slow and steady pace is perfect. But as soon as I get a little off-leash...

Happy February! It was a rainy month again, with snow here and there. I am pretty relaxed about water and could care less! It is assumed for a Super Star Service Doggo not to get distracted about water! I was super excited to have my first puppachino from Starbucks,...

Hi Everyone! September was a great month! Well, I am a puppy, and everything is so new and exciting. I am doing well with my training. So far, I do not love stairs, especially going down. Maybe it’s the awkwardness of growing so much. My mentor Miss Muse...

Hi Everyone! August was a HOT month! And my adventures in Alberta ended in spending time in Banff/Lake Louise. I loved it. I watched some Frisbee Golf, and I found it so fascinating I fell asleep. My raiser would take turns carrying me. Did I mention I snore! Loudly!...
