Mercedes has been a very fun addition to the campus this month. She has been bunking with her sister Malibu, and they get along well. Mercedes is having a great time with all her friends. She loves to play with Malibu, Maggie II and Quinn. They all match each other’s...

Good news friends, this month, the human and I had to go on a walk-and-talk test with the trainer. She was holding a clipboard and writing down a bunch of things. At first, I thought she was drawing me a picture, but then she said something even better was happening...

Snow much fun was had this December! The human and I were focused on our regular routine until the school winter break. We switched gears, and I accompanied the medium-sized humans on all our camp adventures. In order to enjoy the fun, I needed to travel in transit,...

Somehow this month had more summer weather so we spent tons of time outside like nice long days at local parks or the pumpkin patch. I helped pick out a pumpkin but was disappointed to learn that it was not for eating but for carving. How silly are hoomans wasting...

It wasn’t much of an exciting month, but it was filled with lots of the basics. The hooman noticed I was having some selective hearing issues so we stripped back some of my cues and worked on offering and shaping games. Once we built it back up, we tried adding...

This month hooman upgraded my title from just being a puppy in training to adding a mentor to my title. We had the pleasure of hosting not one but two new PADS puppies in our home until their raisers were ready to take on the task. Much of that time was spent working...

We are one month into our summer vacation and I am loving every minute of my down time. As my main hooman is busy running summer camps with the kiddos, I am busy at home polishing up on my skills and working on some much needed kennel time alone. While it is important...

Well, that is a wrap on my adventures with hooman at school as we celebrated all of the 2022 CYC Grads! Hooman and I walked the stage and into our next adventures together. Grad wasn’t our only celebration this month because it was also our 1-year gotcha day! 12 whole...

With school officially wrapped up and work slowing down, hooman and I took a trip to Vancouver Island exploring the east coast. On one of the stops, hooman said we were going to see Comox but instead of it being my brother it was the place he was named after. While we...

It’s the end of the school year and the end of the same routines. Hooman and I wrapped up our time on campus with classes, exams, and practicum days. While I won’t miss much of the school life I will miss all the medium-sized hoomans I got to hang out with along...

This month marks the final push for my hooman and her school work. That means it was a boring month for me as I tagged along to campus and practicum. One good thing is that I get to practice my settling skills and learning to fully turn off. I am really good at...

Life was quite busy for my hooman this month with school and work. This meant that things we kept pretty low-key as not to overwhelm me and give me enough time to re-charge. My spare time was spent playing with my favourite squeaky toy and snuggling up in my bed. One...

A new year is upon us and yet I still have the same routine with my hooman. Our days are filled with working with the medium sized hoomans, in person classes on campus, and some fun walks when we can find some time. Life isn’t always so mundane as I do get to...

Wow, what a month it has been! Not only am I a month older, but I got to explore the world in a new way. Hooman says September is the start of the school year and the start of the school semester. I got to experience what campus life is all about. Everyone told me I...

What a month I have had. To start things off, the hooman and I finished the fall semester of school, meaning we had a lot more time to spend together doing fun things. When the hooman was not working, we tried to spend some time on the trails. Not only was it good to...

Nothing crazy has happened since I last updated you all. In true “Raincover” fashion, the days have been dark, gloomy, and rainy. To avoid the cold wet days the hooman and I have focused more on indoor training rather than outdoor walks. It is good to practice...

It’s spooky season around here! October marks the month that hooman dresses me up in funny costumes, and a bunch of interesting decorations begin to fill the neighbourhoods. I took in all the sights and sounds in strides, and the hooman was very proud of how I could...

This month hooman and I spent as much time as possible soaking up the nice weather. I made sure to explore some new trails, enjoy the ducks at the park, and meet some new puppy friends. It wasn’t all fun and games as this summer I attended puppy class outside....

This month the hooman and I started to go on some outdoor adventures. As I grow and get stronger every day, I am learning to take in the environment and explore all the sounds, smells, and sights around me. With every day I am learning how to be a good puppy and am...
