In October, we went on another waterfall hike and trained in several stores, including a pet store, which really tested my impulse control – so many good smells! The hardware store had spooky Halloween decorations – the moving and talking Chucky was very...

I’ve discovered I like to swim! We went for walks and swims along the dykes. I went to Douglas College Coquitlam to help the vet nurse students practice their handling – they loved me, but, you know, what’s not to love? Although I did speak my mind...

In August, we had lots of fun in the sun and on the trails. We even hiked to a waterfall! I love going into my kennel so much. Sometimes when my “sister” is in there, I squeeze myself in, too. I’m not sure she appreciates it, but I just want to be...

I turned 11 months old in July and had to do the kibble challenge – I rocked it! I attended a Rascal tasting event with some fellow PADS dogs, and, again, I rocked it! Are you sensing a theme?! I’ve been working on not annoying the senior cat (I just want...

In June, I moved in with a new raiser – who is also my class instructor. There are two dogs and a cat in my new home, and two little critters called gerbils. I don’t care about the gerbils, even when they’re out of their tank, but the dogs and cat...

Ripto had quite the month! Throughout May, he explored the tourist attractions as a part of the Tourism Challenge event! He went everywhere, from a Lavender Farm in Harrison to the Vancouver Aquarium, and he was absolutely pawsome everywhere he went! Not only did he...

February was LOVE month. So I spent extra time playing with my bestest pupper friend. She’s a lot bigger than me still, and lets me wrestle with her. She also likes to let me chase her around the yard. But if she wants a break, she runs up on this big, round...

It’s a New Year, and I’m not sure what that means, but I know I’m getting bigger and growing really fast. Sometimes, I trip over my legs, it’s like they have a mind of their own. My hooman has nicknamed me “Tiny Tank”. I spent...

Hello hoomans and fellow puppers! Happy New Year. I hope you all had a wonderful time with your fur-friends and the 2 legged friends, family and loved ones alike. December was a bit of a lazy month. My hooman didn’t feel well and was sick for what seemed like...

November was fun. I got spoiled. A new bed, toys and this fence thing that’s in the house. It keeps me from sitting where the hoomans sit, and I don’t like it, but my bed and toys are in it, so I guess it’s ok. I went and visited the vet and got...

October had many new things. I met my puppy-raiser, and we’ve done a bunch of cool things. I have been to work where there are many hoomans coming in and out. I have learned to be quiet and settle most of the time. I find this hard because they make me feel like...
