Big news folks, I had my pre-turn-in eye exam, and it turns out I have a cataract. The sad news is that I won’t have a professional career with PADS, but the great news is that Teri, Rory and retired PADS VIP Folie have adopted me. As I ponder what my future...

It has been quite a month since we started babysitting 8-week-old Golly, who mistook me for her momma, sure surprised me. I’ve decided being a momma is not for me, so I had a trip to the vet to get spayed. They sent me home with a lovely big collar, which was...

It has been a busy month with our North Shore community of PADS volunteers. I have been doing some lovely outings mentoring new raisers and sitters so they can get hands-on experience with a pup that is further along in its training. I was honoured to attend the...

February arrived warm and sunny, so I got out and enjoyed the weather on some lovely outings. I rode my first articulated bus with my friend PADS Thorin, then changed to the Canada Line, from there we rode the train to a big outlet mall by YVR. Too bad I didn’t...

January has brought lots of public outings for me. I found the cold spell created a bit of static electricity, causing odd things to cling to me, like this little bit of styrofoam on my nose. Now they call me Electrical Electra. We had a lovely time in the snow with...

My big news this month is that I turned 1 year old on November 1st. You can see how long our tongues were when the cake came out! Speaking of long tongues, I used my pink leash to accomplish my anteater impression. I did some farm sitting and spent time with my...

What a busy month I have had! I was farm sitting, where I helped harvest the cucumbers, I carried this beauty through two fields to the house without one tooth mark. I took my first ferry ride and loved the feel of the wind in my substantial ears. When we arrived in...

I am a very lucky puppy to have had so many amazing mentors in my life. Folie has been with me since the start, her calm, sweet presence has taught me that shenanigans will get me nowhere with her. Pecan, Velvet, Tessa and Big Leo have taught me many other things,...

This has been an exciting month for me as Pecan is visiting for a few weeks, Teri said walking the three of us is like walking an Oreo cookie. It has been a busy month of events, I marched in the Pride Parade, wandered around the Harmony Arts Festival with my dear...

We spent all of June fundraising for our #moveforpads campaign. We went to the beach, paddle boarding, kayaking, camping, hiking, and swimming. We also went to a huge car show. I was quite busy mentoring some 8-9 week old puppies, teaching them appropriate play, which...

May was a big month for me, as I was on a 2-week puppy swap with Kemble. Swaps are a good way to see how we pups do when we are with new people, see how resilient we are as well as expose us to new routines and environments. Kemble and I might be young, but we are...

I spent much of March with my lovely sitter Kathy while Teri went on vacation to Spain. I had loads of fun, spent some time on the Sunshine Coast and kept up my training while Teri was away. As the weather improves, I am looking forward to heading up to the farm in...

We are getting my pupdate off a bit early this month as I am heading to my sitters for 3 weeks while my raiser travels. I have been maintaining a good life-work balance this month. I worked on my go-in and loose leash walking in public with my sister Maia. I was also...

January was a busy month, as I left my whelping home in Calgary on January 5th, flew on an airplane to Vancouver and met my new raisers, Teri and Rory. I live with a retired PADS VIP dog named Folie; she is warming up to me slowly, and she let me cuddle with her in my...
