Jonsie has had a busy month. Finally, the weather has turned, and we have been able to spend more time outside. We are walking more and have had Jonsie out to a few off-leash parks. His recall has materially improved in the past few months, and he is such a fun puppy....

Jonsie has had a big change this month. Jonsie has transitioned to our home, and while the first few days were an adjustment for everyone, he seems to have now settled into his new routine. With spring break and an Easter break, he has been surrounded by a number of...

JONSIE continues to adjust to his gentle leader; he is a puller and a floor surfer in Grocery stores, especially. We can have a fantastic walk one day, and the next can be stubborn sits and attempts to remove it. I have no doubt that with patience and treats we will...

Jonsie was with a sitter from mid-December to mid-January; it’s fair to say I missed him immensely. However, he had the best time with Bev over Christmas and even had Billie as a playmate. They ventured out to their cabin for some lovely snowy walks, and he had a...

It was lovely to have Jonsie for a few weeks in December, and we kept up with some of our routine visits in addition to a few new ones. Christmas parties with our elderly group, The Children’s, the big Holiday Hounds event at Youth Link, which is organized by Youth...

The Willow Park Litter turned 6 months old. Where did the last 16 weeks go? Poor Jonsie seems to have finally shaken off a persistent ear infection, poor guy. He continues to loose-leash walk nicely, but not consistently. He requires constant food and redirection if...

Jonsie is making positive progress with his loose-leash walking. If we encounter another distraction, he needs to be constantly fed and distracted. If I am not fast enough to catch another dog, for example, or a squirrel, he will pull. So this is an area we will...

With a roller coaster August, upset tummies, food changes, and lots of laundry, September has been amazing. Jonsie was a very privileged puppy to meet Royalty at Spruce Meadows. I was just praying he didn’t pee or poop, and other than being wiggly, he made it through....

On arrival at Calgary airport to collect Jonsie from George, it was instant. This is one huge bundle of rolls and fur and a face to squidge and adore. With an overlap of two weeks with Valentino, I had my hands full, but Tino loved having a puppy and vice versa....
