Jules had a bit of a struggle in the heat this month. She is not a dog who is very sensible about self-preservation, and she had to be convinced not to over-exert herself. Soaked and frozen towels, paddle pools, and regular hose downs kept her cool this month. Plus,...

It’s my first time visiting the North 40 dog park. My friend PADS Goose invited me to have a play date there. I had a lot of fun running and playing to a point that I continued to play even though my paws were injured. Mom talked to Medical hooman after she...

Mom took me to the Dog Park a few times this month. In the beginning, I was very careful and always looked back to make sure my mom was around me. After a few times there, I got too much confidence and started exploring different areas. My mom then put me back on...
