This month was very strange as halfway through the tall raiser stopped taking me to the grocery store with him. I don’t think he is finding everything okay without my guidance as he doesn’t come home with everything the short raiser put on the list. Anna...

I visited my puppy sitters Lois and Bryan in early February, while my raisers went someplace warm. I also had to wear these fancy pants most of the time because I was in my heat. Let me tell you, I did not feel too hot! They have a big farm and I was able to run...

In early January I had to go back out to the airport and see my tall raiser’s mother (I call her my Farmor, that is Swedish for Grandmother). We rode on the big bus again and the Skytrain. I am getting better at knowing where to sit when in motion but when it is...

I got to go to a birthday party this month for a very special girl. Release PADS dog Peach’s human sister had a PADS themed birthday and Cadence, Trixie and I got to show off our skills. Peach’s people also made a very nice donation to PADS so that we...

My tall raiser left on November 1st for a 6-week sailing trip – this meant that I got to have the short raiser all to myself, although she, too, went away for a few days and I got to stay with my brother Greco’s new raisers for a few days. They are...

This month was so exciting as I got to go with my raisers and Kylo to the PADS graduation ceremony. I saw some of my pals graduate as working dogs and I was able to keep my cool in the audience and on the bus/skytrain ride to and from the venue. Kylo and I also went...

September was a bit more exciting than last month as I was out of my heat quarantine and could go out in public with my vest on again. We also travelled to Nanaimo to visit family and had some lovely weather so that we could go for a big walk around a lake and I tried...

August was exciting as I did my first puppy swap and got to spend time with Whimsy’s raisers.Β They have a yard, and one of them works in an office. Β I also started my first heat and thus the rest of the month I was fairly inactive as my public access was...

This month, my puppy raisers focused on my dog distraction and had me meet with so many PADS friends!Β We had sleep-overs and walks around town and plays in the woods.Β I am still a social girl and want to meet everyone, but I am starting to understand that I have to...

June was an exciting month for me. I got to spend 2 weeks with super sitters, Mary & Dave, while my people went to visit family in Sweden.Β I had lots of fun, as they took me on many great adventures. I went to the park and met friends and did some shopping at...

I had so much fun in May. I went on many adventures including a trip to Granville Island. It was sure a busy place and I was reasonably well behaved while my tall raiser met friends for dinner. I rode the bus and skytrain many times this month and I am learning where...

I was a busy puppy and went on two trips this month! The first was to Vancouver Island for an Easter visit with my short raisers parents (apparently I am their grand-dog). For this trip I got to ride on a big ferry boat it was sure cool. The second trip was to a horse...

March was a busy month! I went so many places with my raisers and managed to keep my cool… well most of the time. We rode on the bus, went grocery shopping (I am getting better at leaving items on the floor alone), and helped my raisers stay calm at the...

In February I moved in with my new raisers and began some serious training. We started working on loose leash walking and it is really challenging as there are so many dogs in my neighbourhood that I want to meet. We had a bunch of snow fall earlier this month and I...
