Well, it’s official, I will be leaving the raiser next month, so this will be our last pupdate together, which is very bittersweet. I’m off to try my paws at this becoming a full-service dog thing, so wish me luck. I’ve come so far, and my raiser says I’m the...

What a busy time of year, but it was filled with so much cheer. Between a holiday class party with all the pups in training – to heading home for the holidays and hanging out with lots of four-legged friends. We’ve been busy polishing up my skills since it’s...

Well, this month started off pretty normal until the human unexpectedly had to take an out-of-town excursion which meant last-minute sitter adventures for me. I got matched with brand new sitters, but don’t worry, I charmed them, and they had positive reviews about...

October was a more relaxing month for my raiser human and myself. We took a lot of time to go on nice easy walks together and just do regular errand-type outings. My raiser human is so impressed with how well I behave in public and how easy I am to take around. My...

The month of September was a lot of fun. I went on a big ride up some gondolas in Whistler, which was really neat, and I handled the experience really well. I also did a suspension bridge at the top of Whistler, which I didn’t find scary at all. I got some practice...

August slipped away really quickly – well, that’s how raised human feels. I started August in Calgary and spent time with a wonderful Calgary sitter and a bunch of fun PADS friends. Then when human was back, we packed up the car and headed on a road trip...

June was a busy month for me. First, it is taking me some time to get used to this golden sunshine. I actually do enjoy it and have found little patches to lay in, but when I’m out running, it makes my tongue stick out of my mouth way more than it ever has before. ...

This month involved me spending a lot of time with new people because my raiser had to travel to places for these things called weddings. This was a fun experience for me, though, because I got to charm people with my adorable wiggles and wags and show off how much I...

April was a lovely month. I had my first birthday party with all my littermates. We ran around in the mud and turned ourselves into chocolate labs. I also am a bit older, so the human has taken me on some nice hikes. I’m also starting to really get my skills down...

March was a fun filled month. My human went on holiday so I got to go hang out with one of my favourite sitters. She took me on all sorts of adventures and said I was a very good girl. Then I did a lot of my usual things when the human got back but biggest improvement...

The month started off with a lot of fun. I went to hang out with a teacher for a few days and got to learn all about being in a classroom with children. I was actually a very good girl. The teacher said she’d take me back any time. That was probably the biggest...

This month was very exciting. It started off pretty normal, like any month we did our go to work thing and training sessions, but then I got to go to Calgary again and visit some four-legged friends. One used to live with my current raiser – her name is...

The month of November was filled with a lot of regular life. That being said, it was a chance for me to keep practicing being an excellent puppy. Each and every day, I practice settling while the raiser works, and I am very good at this skill. I can entertain myself...

This month was filled with a bunch of adventures. One, in particular, was quite interesting. My raiser turned one year older, and her family insisted she come home, so onboard a giant metal tube, we went. It made some loud noises, and I’m told floated in the...

September was a whirlwind! This month landed me with a human who will see me through until I hopefully go to college (advanced training). What that meant was me becoming familiar with a whole new place! In this new place, I met my long-time temporary roommate, an...
