So May brings big news everypawdy. A few months back, when my classmates and litter mates went off to puppy college, I stayed behind with my puppy raiser while some decisions about my future were being made. Over the course of my training, I showed to have great...

Word on the street is that April showers bring May flowers, and wowza, there were someΒ bigΒ showers this month. It really put a bit of a damper on some of our adventure walks, as our trails were flooded. We did manage to get out for a few, and we even had one of my...

The hooman isnβt too sure where the time went. It seems January and February took forever to pass, and March seemed to fly by that we canβt remember much of anything we did. Must mean we were having fun as I hear time flies when youβre having fun. We do know there...

Last month’s snowmageddon meant we had some outings to make up for this month, so we dusted off my cape and hit the stores. Donβt worry, we made sure to have a lot of fun, as well as perfecting that work-play balance. There was a hint of spring in the air, which...

Finally, this month brought that wonderful, white, fluffy stuff the hoomans warned us about. I donβt know what all the commotion was about because itβs AMAZING!!!! Although we did get enough that we couldnβt leave the house for a couple of weeks, we found lots of...

Hmmm, there was a lot of build-up going into December. There was talk of a busy season, snow and most importantly, Santapaws. Two of the 3 previously mentioned never showed. But happy to report that Santapaws did and I must have been on his nice list because there...

Well, what can we say about November? It was fun until it wasnβt hehe. It started off with great fun outings and lots of forest adventures but then Mother Nature blessed me with my heat. This naturally slowed down our outings and trail walkies, as we puppies in...

This month had a wee bit of excitement in the air. The hooman says that the changing of seasons cues the start of the exciting time of year. The next 3 months will be a bit of a blur as exciting things are on the horizon with Christmas coming, snow on the horizon, my...

September is one of those weird months that don’t really have a purpose. Summer is starting to leave, and fall is starting to appear, and there are no real holidays or things to look forward to. So this month, we just focused on enjoying the daylight while it...

Wow, was this month fun? It saw many adventures that made for great learning opportunities and loads of fun. The biggest event this month was celebrating my Gotcha Day. One year ago this month I joined the hooman on my adventures to becoming the best version of me....

This month saw me reunited with my puppy raiser after being off in sitter adventures while the hooman was busy with the latest PADS puppy litter. Although I had been away for a little over a month I didnβt skip a beat when I came back home. I was super excited to see...

Fernieβs household was full of activity with the Mario Cart Litter growing up – so she got to avoid the chaos by having a month-long sit. Of course, she decided that going into heat was a good thing to do, so we were unable to do many outings in public. So...

This month was super exciting without leaving the house for the whole month. My puppy housemate is part of the PADS breeding program and had a litter of puppies at the beginning of the month, so I got to swap my training hat out for my auntie hat. Although I was not...

This month kicked off with some exciting news. My doggo housemate and fellow PADS pup in training whoβs part of the breeding program found out sheβs pregnant. I have no idea what that means but the hooman says busy times are ahead. This means that for this month, we...

Supposedly March is when things are supposed to start warming up, and spring is on the horizon, but it missed the memo, and we were hit with what the hoomans are calling Sprinter. A big snowstorm hit, and I have to admit us doggos werenβt upset by this. This month saw...

January was a bit of a recovery month after the hustle and bustle that December brought with the holidays. We were lucky enough to get a bonus snowfall, and we took full advantage and snuck in a few extra river walkies. January is the kickstart to the birthday season...

Rumour has it a big guy in a red suit will come to those on the nice list, so this month, I made sure to be the goodest girl in hopes heβd come to visit. This whole Christmas and winter thing was pretty pawesome. There was a lot of snow to frolic in, many trips to the...

I had a fairly low-key month, as I had a bit of an upset tummy which took some time to rest and recover from. Before that came, though, I was able to have a few fun outings joining the hooman at this huge store full of yummy yummy smells. They call it Costco. I was on...

October was a fun and exciting month. Iβve settled in pretty well to this whole puppy-in-training lifestyle. Especially now that weβre starting to learn some skills above just the fundamentals of being a civilized puppy in the house and not a gremliny ankle biter,...

What a month!!! This was my first month with my puppy raiser, and what a whirlwind itβs been since leaving my litter mates. I spent the first half of the month having some sitter adventures as my puppy raiser was finishing up with a different litter of PADS pups. I...
