He’s baaaaaack!! April was an interesting month in the Beaton household. My buddy Dasher had left just before Easter (in March) and then he popped back in to my life in April! I admit, I love having him around–I don’t even mind when he sucks on my ears trying to...

Helloooooooo! I’m following up an uneventful January with a super exciting February! We went to the Glenbow Museum for a PADS field trip- I was a super good boy. I was so snuggly on that animal hide- don’t I look happy? Check me out with the bear! On Family Day we...

Hello Rocky Fans! March has come and gone- it’s official- hockey and ringette season is over- no more arenas for me! I sure hope I get to graduate to Advanced Training before all of that starts up again in the fall. Now we get to hang out in the great outdoors...

Well friends – it’s been a pretty uneventful month for this Rock Star. It started out downright cold so my peeps decided to buy me some booties. Ugh. Didn’t anyone tell these people booties are for humans not dogs? These things are terribly uncomfortable and...

Dear Santa- I’m pretty sure Christmas is on its way- it snowed this month and I DO LOVE ME SOME SNOW! I love to run in the snow and eat it! I watched this movie the other night with my family- it was called “ELF”. You told Buddy the Elf not to eat yellow snow when...

Halloween has come and gone for another year! Alex made me a sweet Halloween costume – please see my attached picture- I was the ROCKY MOUNTAINS! The “Rocky” Mountains- pretty clever, hey? Tracy was pretty crafty getting it attached to my back. I didn’t like...

So it’s back to school time. Darn it- I’m going to miss those little trouble-makers, Cameron and Alex. It’s kind of boring without them around. The good news is my slacker human mom Tracy will take me for a walk earlier in the morning now and I...

I’m Baaaaaacckkkk! So this month I’m supposed to tell you about my favourite swimming hole. Truth is I’m not a big fan of water or swimming. I’ve done that doggie paddle thing a few times but it’s not really my cup of tea. If I go in the water I...

What a fabulous summer! Well, except for that part where I had a little “surgery”. Thank goodness we were done with the hockey arenas of the winter and baseball/track fields of the spring. It was time to spend some quality time at my kind of park- the DOG PARK-...

I turned ONE year old this month! My human sister made a super cool sign for my birthday- I wasn’t too pleased to wear it but I did it to appease her (plus I got some sweet treats for letting my mom take a picture!). They forgot the cake though. You’re probably...

It’s me again! I hear I’m supposed to introduce my raisers this month. They are an interesting bunch The Beaton Family. They have this affinity for some hockey team called the Calgary Flames. They even dressed me in a Flames jersey – it was a little strange...

Hi, I’m Rocky. My favourite things are bananas, fuzzy soft things, my food, my human daddy, my dog friends at puppy class, eating snow and my ring toy. I love to follow people around if they have a banana until the banana is all gone. Sometimes...

Hello – it’s Rocky again. On Family Day we went to Sibbald Creek with my extended family and friends. I made a new puppy friend named Cammie. We played so much on the frozen ice and by the fire (not too close to the fire). I liked eating lots of fresh...

Hi- it’s Rocky. I learned so much in January. I learned how to sit at the dishwasher without licking the dishes but I still run to the dishwasher when I hear it open! Sometimes I still sneak a lick. This month, I went to St. Catherine School to help decorate Peruvian...

This Christmas, I went to my human Auntie & Uncle’s new house in Edmonton. They have a little girl named Jocelyn (one of my human cousins). Jocelyn likes to point at me and say “puppy”. Jocelyn really, really likes me but she only ever touched me two times. She...

Dear Santa- My name is Rocky. For Christmas, I would like a ringette ring that I cannot destroy (I have destroyed a few toys). I would also like a nice new collar – my other one is falling apart (can it please be blue?). I have also been meaning to ask you...

Trick or Treat, smell my paw, give me a high value treat! I am Rocky and I had the best homemade costume for Halloween. I was SUPER ROCKY! Don’t tell anyone this but I liked my human brother’s (Cameron) costume better than my human sister’s (Alex) costume. By the way,...
