Summer is coming, and I just love going outdoors for mountain hikes and breathing in that fresh mountain air. The biggest achievement was climbing to the top of Spion Kopp in Lake Country, where there was an awesome view of THREE lakes. I did great at the top, while...

We had a full month of the usual activities: PADS Zoom and in-person classes, walks/play dates with other PADS pups, mountain hikes, weekly Yoga by the Lake, chiropractor, dentist, Wednesday Wing Night at DunnEnnzies, Soma Cidery, Barn Owl Brewing, Cedar Creek Winery...

You know spring has arrived in the Okanagan when the yellow Arrowleaf Balsamroot has started to bloom. So, it’s now time to start my tick meds. We had a full month of many activities: mountain hikes, yoga by the Lake, PADS Zoom and in-person classes, geocaching,...

After two months, our renovations are finally over, and we can move back into our new surroundings. What an improvement! Just waiting for a few new windows to arrive. The snow has melted around town (but not in the mountains yet), and spring is in the air. It was a...

Our renovations were in full swing every weekday this month, with lots of activity happening. New hardwood and porcelain floors were being laid, a new ensuite shower and a new kitchen installed. Every day Misty calmly greeted the workers and somehow managed to nap...

There were more COVID restrictions this month, so in class sessions are on hold until further notice. So instead, Shona did a ZOOM class where we went over all the basics with our pups while she gave directions and watched. It was nice to have no dog distractions. ...

December 1st started out with a bang! It was a gorgeous 19C, so after puppy class, mom & I went for a fabulous walk in the woods at Spion Kopp in Lake Country. You must take these warm days when you can because later in the month, the high was MINUS 20C! We had...

Life has returned to normal after my heat with lots of loose leash walks and play dates with my brother, PADS Misha, and other pups such as PADS Ace, ex-PADS Odie, his friend Moe and my lovely golden girlfriend Grace. While out for a walk one day, I aced the cattle...

Now that my first heat is over, life can return to normal with caped outings to the grocery store, restaurants, winery, chiropractor, and a haircut for mom. Yes! Mom & I also went to 3 more community yoga classes by the lake, where I quietly chilled on my mat...

My raiser had never had a female dog before and didn’t know what to expect when I went into heat. In the end, it wasn’t so bad, but I had no public access, so I missed out on going to stores, restaurants and three of our weekly puppy classes. But I sure did enjoy all...

At the end of last month, we drove to Vancouver for the long weekend to visit with my raisers’ daughter, where we had numerous adventures. We stayed on the 19th floor in a hotel downtown, so, in the morning, I had to ride the elevator all the way down to ground level...

July was a bit cooler than June, so we got out a bit more for walks, but now that the wildfires are all around us, some days it’s smokey and we try to limit our exposure to it. After many visits to the lake and creeks, I finally learned to swim! It’s much more...

I like this cape that I wear sometimes. I get to go were no other dogs get to go! For instance, this month I went to the dentist with mom, went to the Covid immunization clinic with mom & dad, went to a couple more wineries, cideries and restaurants (a given for...

Misty was very well behaved when she spent a couple of nights away from home and stayed with another PADS raiser. While mom and dad travelled to Vancouver for Easter. Who would think that the sitter also had a cat named Misty! Spring has arrived with warmer weather,...

It was a great day to turn 6 months on St. Patrick’s Day! We went to celebrate at the local pub, which was much more noisy than usual, with lots of people and even a band. I was distracted by it all but did manage to settle. The only bad thing is that now that I’m 6...

December was a very busy month. With the holidays approaching fast, there were outings to various stores, coffee shops, grocery stores, wineries, restaurants, the post office and the chiropractor, all at which Misty was very well behaved. People continue to insist...

First of all, I’d like to thank Breeder Caretaker, Krista Beech & family at Misty’s whelping home for doing such a great job in producing such a well behaved puppy, who knew her name, how to sit and best of all, sleep through the entire night since...
