This has been a huge month for Lucy. She has been chosen to go into the breeding program so has had a few visits to the PADS Campus and we are now just waiting to get confirmation of a pregnancy. This little wild child is going to have to change her ways! Outside of...

Lucy II had a great outing with my 2-year-old niece and me this month. We went for breakfast, and even though my niece kept kicking her legs while at the table, Lucy adjusted and managed to settle. Then at the mall, she walked beside the stroller navigating the turns...

Lucy is now one and a half years old! Time has gone both quickly because she’s just so much fun, but also slowly as we work through some things. I cannot give her the in office experience but now a few days each month she takes the train downtown and does the...

Now that spring is here (although you wouldn’t know it from all the rain), we can get out a bit more, so this month we did a trip downtown on the train. Even though we’ve not done this often, Lucy shows no hesitation toward new things. She might be a bit...

Lucy continues to surprise and delight with her ability to learn and grow. She’s a pro in indoor public spaces like the mall or grocery shopping and will travel alongside me and stand in line without complaint. Now that the weather is becoming nicer, we are able...

Having Lucy around is a lesson in living life to the fullest. It’s hard to feel anything but joy when she’s around. Even if she’s doing something naughty, she’s doing it with such vigour that you have to smile. This month she went to her first...

Lucy and I had the anniversery of her move-in (January 28th) this month. One year ago this little chubby ball of floof inserted herself into mine and Clover’s life very enthusiastically and has changed our lives. I feel like Clover’s bond to me is stronger...

Lucy turned One on December 1st. There have been so many proud moments this month. We walked around LaFarge Lake to see the lights, and it was much more congested than I had anticipated. Still, she paid no attention to people and was much less distracted by all the...

With the crazy weather we’ve had this month, Lucy has had to get over her aversion to puddles! She now struts through them without a second thought because what other option is there really? She accompanied me to the Planted Expo this month and did fantastic....

Lucy is 11 months old now, and I’m really starting to see her mature, which has been wonderful and rewarding. We’ve had a chance to do some outings with other PADS pups, and while she’s still very excited, she’s able to contain herself for the...

Lucy is learning that not everything is new and exciting, and we’ve had so many great moments this month. She came with me to donate blood and, through every station, she sat quietly and attentively. Even as people spoke to me or stared at her, and when it came...

Lucy’s personality continues to evolve as she experiences life and learns new things. Her most recent discovery is that she can blow bubbles in her water dish! Every once in a while, she will casually walk over to her dish. And I will see her slowly dip her head...

Lucy continues to develop her skills and feisty personality. She does everything with gusto and brings smiles to everyone we meet. We’ve had some in person classes now so she is learning to be around other dogs without being in play mode, which is a challenge...

Lucy had some big outings this month. Along with our usual trips to the store, we went to the Van Gogh Exhibit at the Convention Center and I couldn’t be more proud! It was a loud and unusual scenario for a pup her age but she was unfazed with the lights and...

Now that I’m 6 months old, a lot of the stuff we do is the same, but the raiser lady says you never know what might happen that day, so I stay focused. We made more trips to the store and another bus ride. Raiser lady actually bought a pair of pants and shoes...

Lucy just gets more and more personality coming out of her each month. She’s very willing to learn and work and seems to understand that when she puts on her cape, it’s go time, whether training in the house or out in public. She’s gotten very long...

My raiser lady said I’ve sprouted like a weed this month. She said when I came, I was a squat little chubster, but now I am long and leggy! The weather has been so much better lately that we’ve had a lot of park outings and off-leash time, which is...

Lucy has been with Clover and me for one month now, and what a month! She gets along very well with Clover. They spend time cuddling, playing at home and learning to walk nicely together outside. We’ve done some very successful store visits and even the Skytrain...
