We drove to Sedona, AZ, in March, and stayed until the first week of April. Rimbey enjoyed the road trip–three days of driving and 2 days in different hotels. On our last day, we drove through Kanab, Utah, where we discovered Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, the...

It’s been an interesting month. Rimbey’s screening DNA test revealed a copy of the gene for copper toxicosis. The gene is common in Labs, and one copy does not mean that Rimbey will develop copper toxicosis in future. However, having the gene excludes her...

This January pupdate includes a glance at December, which was routine for Rimbey, but extremely hectic for her humans. Rimbey settled quickly into her routine after our long trip to Japan. A typical day includes watching her humans play tennis, a diner breakfast,...

We were in Japan for most of November. Rimbey had the most amazing time with Sam and her pack. Sam brought Rimbey to many new places, including her office and hockey games. Rimbey loved Sam’s entire family and especially bonded with their Irish Wolfhound. Sam...

My people have been extra busy this month. They are planning a big trip to Japan soon. I will be staying with Sam and her pack. I love my morning training sessions. Most of the skills are easy. Changing positions without moving my front feet, as well as backing onto a...

Rimbey is an incredible little pup. Lynn and Ron have done a fantastic job with her, as seen in her consistent reactions, obedience and general happiness. She liked watching hockey games, settled nicely in the stands, and was extremely attentive in all situations. She...

Life is easy these days. I can tell–almost always–what my people want from me. I especially love mornings. I can barely contain myself when my people wake up. I am all wiggles! We often go to tennis courts, where I wait on the sidelines until my people...

August was a big month. I had my first heat cycle. I did not feel like myself. I needed to be close to my people–staying in constant touch (literally). I didn’t mind diapers and wore them in the house. We stayed away from tennis courts and other public...

July was a busy month. I loved Sedona! The trails were wonderful. During our last week, we went to a park every morning. I lay still while my people played tennis. Then we played in the park! So fun to explore, and then run back to my people when they call. I met two...

I am ten-and-a-half months old and still growing, but not as fast as before. I am a few pounds heavier than I should be, so my people are measuring my food very carefully. They are pescatarians so we like to eat the same things. Dried salmon and sardines are my...

What a month! I am growing and learning a lot!!! My people are getting smarter at telling me what they want. Usually, they only need to tell me once. They are proud of me, and I’m very proud of myself. But avoiding food distractions is still hard for me. Food is...

I’m Rimbey and this is my first pupdate since moving in with my new folks. I was 7 months old when Lynn and Ron became my people. I loved my first family–lots of fun, exploration, and learning with Louis, Miranda, and the other dogs in the pack. But,...

Rimbey had spent time with a few different families in February and by all accounts, she’s a hit everywhere. Rimbey is a nice and kind dog that’s a joy to have in my office all day at work. Recently, she passed out during a meeting of about 20 people in a crowded room...

It has been another eventful month for Rimbey. She spent a week with a sitter family and made quick friends while I was away for work and when she came back Rimbey looked a month older. It’s that time in their life when they grow in leaps and bounds. On the training...

It’s been my first full month with Rimbey and she’s already one of my favourites. Rimbey gets along well with other animals and loves going for walks around the local school where she can pose on the rocks. Rimbey spent some time with a foster family and has come back...
