August was a very important month for me! I did the GDBART (Guide Dog Behavioural Response Assessment Test) this month. All my fellow Assistance Dogs International puppies in-training do it at their schools too. They call it a βtest,β but REALLY, whatβs happening is I...

July was such a fun month! It started out with me turning 18 months old on Canada Day. My human finds it hard to believe that Iβm already a year and a half old, but I think I look very grown-up and distinguished.Β Mostly July meant that it was time for summer fun! A...

Because BC has been doing so well with the social distancing, my human has felt safe taking me back to my favourite place for trail walks this month! Itβs so great to be able to run and sniff around there again! I even got to go there with my friends and fellow PADS...

My human got to βexpand her bubbleβ a bit in May, which for me, meant that I finally got to have play time with some friends! Even though the humans still have to keep their distance, we pups were allowed to let loose and have some fun together! I also got to spend...

The humans had to deal with all this strange stuff around COVID-19 again this month, but it seems like things are starting to settle into a routine more now. I still don’t get to see my friends yet and I still only ever wear my “In Training” cape at...

March was full of adventure for me. For the first half of the month I got to stay with some of my favourite PADS Puppy Sitters because my human went away to somewhere I couldnβt go. I love staying with sitters because I get to train with new people, stay in a new...

February was a very busy month. Between puppy classes, visits to E-Comm 911, and the daily business of doing stuff with my human (going to places like doctor’s appointments, banks, and food shopping), the month flew by. February was also a really busy month for...

I turned one year old on New Year’s Day! Can you believe it? I had a party and invited human and puppy friends, so it was a great way to start off 2020! Not long after that, a bunch of cold white stuff called snow fell all over the place. I was born in...

December was an extra exciting month for me because my human and I went to the desert in Southern California for almost two weeks and it was amazing. I also got to go on an airplane! Twice! I had been to YVR once already on a special field trip, so the airport in...

November was another busy and fun month for me. Early in the month, I went on adventures with my fellow PADS puppies-in-training. First I went to the Vancouver Convention Centre with some of my favourite PADS sitters where we met a bunch of human doctors. Then I went...

October was a very busy and exciting month for me with so many new experiences. I started it off with an invitation to go to the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, which is something I had never done before. I got dressed up in my best bow tie and did try to be on my very...

Every month I get to do new things! This month I had an eye test which all my fellow PADS pups in-training got to do as well. It made me pretty squinty for a while but the good news is my eyes are in great shape. Afterwards, I went with my human to her eye test and...

August was a fun month for me. Because it was summer, we didn’t have as many classes but I sure had a lot of adventures. At the very beginning of the month, I got to be in the Vancouver Pride Parade! It was so exciting and my human made me very handsome, rainbow...

I turned 6 months old on Canada Day, so the month started out really fun because I got extra treats and new toys! My human says I’m getting to be a really big boy now.Β I can easily rest my chin on my human’s knee now; I guess that means I have grown a...

The most exciting thing that happened to me this month was that I got to go to a Canadian Citizenship Ceremony! My human grandma became a Canadian citizen after living here for more than 40 years. It was very exciting and I got all dressed up for the occasion! I was a...

This month I went to live with a new human! I get to live in a tall building in the city and when we go for lots of walks there’s always so much to see like buses and cars and noisy big trucks. I got to meet a film crew that was working in the building next door...

My first month in Canada has been so much fun! After Mr. Blake kindly sponsored me and my friends, I turned from a California boy to a Canadian boy. I kickstarted my arrival in BC with an evening out at the Gala. I met so many people and they all gave me so much love...
