This month, we were excited to welcome Momo into Advanced Training! He’s been bunking with his brother Zuko, which has been a fun reunion for them both. Momo took a few days to settle into the new environment, but he’s showing steady progress and growing more...

This month, I spent 5 days with a sitter as my raiser was taking a holiday that was not dog-friendly. While there, I had a lot of fun with my doggie friend, Finch, who was willing to share her bed and chew toys with me! I got to go to both of the PADS volunteer BBQs...

Summer activities have started! The month began with a trip to the Vandusen Gardens, where I got to pose among the flower displays. I also had some beach days when the tide was low, and another socialization afternoon at the beach with other PADS dogs. I got to do...

This month, I had a 2-week reunion with my first puppy-raising family, as my current raiser was away on a trip. I was happy to be reunited with them, and it was a busy stay with a number of outings, including a high school graduation ceremony, a birthday party,...

I started out this month attending two student engagement events with Campus Canines, meeting students from two different UBC Faculties – I always like these events where I get lots of attention! I continue to enjoy the spring weather with some longer walks in the...

It has been a relatively quiet month as I’m still working on my car anxiety and not travelling in a vehicle very much; however, I’m really happy to jump in the car and get my treats! And this travel break has given me more opportunities to work on my kenneling. I...

The snow was a definite highlight for me this month – lots of fun! It added a bonus to the forest walk with PADS release Tio and Marvel. However, I also had my neutering this month, so I had to take it easy for a couple of weeks and sadly missed out on some additional...

Well, I’m officially 1 year old now – I had a puppy class on my birthday, so I got to share some pupcakes with my Campus Canine buddies! I got a new lamb stuffie, which I LOVE and which has resisted being eviscerated (so far), which has impressed my raiser a lot. Some...

Happy New Year everyone! Some of my activities in December included listening to a Christmas concert, attending a photoshoot with the UBC swim team, and going to a special puppy class with presents and doggie treats! I went to a movie and found that it was a great...

I started out the month with my old raiser as my new raiser was away for a few days – it was really nice to see them again and follow the familiar routine. Then I settled in nicely at my new home, where one of my favourite things is to look out the front window...

It’s back to school this month, and I got to go to my sisters’ high school now that they are both there. It was big, and I got to walk in the halls and even go to some of their classes for “Meet the Teacher” night. My family took me to a live...

I went camping with my family plus cousins, aunties, grandma and grandpa also came – there were so many people I could socialize with. We went for walks on trails and down to the lake. I didn’t like the lake to swim in – I only dipped my feet in and...

Now that school is done for the summer, my mommy takes me to her work sites a bit more. I have been in her office building, as well as 2 sites where she works with adults with both physical and developmental disabilities. I sit nicely, while everyone comes to say hi...

My mommy told me that June would be a busy month, and she was right. There were lots of things for us to do and see at both the high school and elementary school. I got to hand out hot lunch again at the elementary school almost every Friday to different classes...

I had another busy month with my family. My mommy can’t believe how quickly and how big I am growing. I still love going to the elementary school every day. Everyone at the school now knows me! I got to help hand out hot lunch again twice this month, and I also...

My mommy was right when she said I would go on lots of adventures with my family. In April, I got to take the kids to school that my family babysits every morning, and I would wait in the lineup with the Gr. 2/3 class. I would sit nicely and watch all the kids go...
