Dior was a busy girl during the month of March, with plenty of downtime in between. The folks at BC Ambulance at SMH gave her plenty of lovin’, which she soaked up without complaint. While her manners were not impeccable, her ‘go say hi’s’ are...

February’s highlight was definitely the Invictus Games. We kept it quiet, leading up to the games with the usual outings to Save-On, the Mall, and morning and evening walks. Dior discovered snow!!!! Crazy with delight, running in circles while sticking her nose...

Dior’s December was relatively quiet as she recovered from her spay surgery the first two weeks of the month and snuggled with her raiser for most of the second who had the latest respiratory ‘bug’ that was making the rounds. Dior was sad to miss...

It is humbly and with many apologies that this raiser is submitting Dior’s November pupdate so far along in December. I won’t bore you with the reasons why… Dior’s first half of November was experiencing her 3rd sitting experience in her 11...

Dior began October, with the addition of 8-week-old PADS Spyro to the family. Life as she had known it, came to an abrupt and screeching halt. The need to be on constant call for puppy BG training and not being able to leave the puppy kenneled for more than a very...

Dior continues to make progress in the areas that are challenging for her. LLW while using the Halty, has helped a walk become a pleasure with many extended neighbourhood walks. She is ignoring other dogs, while still making a conscious decision, which is becoming...

Dior had a much quieter month with her first heat finishing up and the summer heat settling in. She attended several family pool parties and was not happy that she wasn’t allowed in the pool. Every other time, she attends ‘off cape’ so that the...

Dior had a busy July. Two car trips to the Okanagan in which she once again showed herself to be a star traveller on all counts. The time spent at a lakeside resort garnered her preferential treatment as a service dog in training, except that she was not allowed in...

June was a busy month for Dior. Playdates with brother PADS Dolce, big dog playdate with 4 older PADS boys, discovering Sunnyside Urban Forest and its wonderful smells. Her big adventure was a WestJet trip from Vancouver to Edmonton. We had practiced small space...

Dior continues to grow and behave in all things puppy. She is a contented little gal at home and is learning to be calm around the youngest grandchildren, ages 4 & 6. Greeting adults with nothing less than a full body shimmy, tail going like a windmill, and...

April was a busy month for Dior with quiet days interspersed to give this pup whose excitement bucket is easily filled, the downtime she needs to keep her on an even keel. She continues to do well in malls and stores though the wonderful smells and the occasional wad...

Dior at 4 months is full of energy and curiosity but is generally chill at home. She likes to engage with her people by leaning up against them for a hind end massage or bringing a toy and asking to play tug of war. Dior supervises what housework I happen to be doing...

I have spent most of the month with a family who has 2 teenagers, who have been puppy-sitting me, while my raiser went on vacation. They have taken me on so many adventures, and I love going everywhere with them. I went grocery shopping – including Costco, the...

Dior and I joined forces on Jan 26, and it was love at first sight for this raiser. In the last few days of January, she settled into her new digs without fuss and slept through the night by night 3. She is a sweet little girl who is beginning to show her calm...
