Snow | January 2016

Snow is a recent arrival to the Advanced Training Kennel and is bunking with another newbie, Thor. We’re still getting acquainted but we already know that Snow loves to play.  He’s currently learning to use automatic door buttons and to open doors using the handles....

It was a busy month of wandering the malls. It seems that there are more people walking around lately. Everyone seems to be a good mood and appreciate that I am trying to be a working dog. I did my best to help de-stress university students during their exam week. I...

I was happy to see my people return from their trip. They were very happy to see me too! Even though it was sad to say good bye to Jenny and my playmates, I was glad to be back to my place. My toys were still where I left them and I had a birthday party! I turned two!...

       I didn’t see much of my people in October. They flew off to explore a place called Japan. I got to stay with an awesome sitter named Jenny. Her daughter is named Carmen too and is raising Scotty! I had a great time playing with them. Jenny took me for...

     Let’s see, I went into a corn maze. I tried to get my people out but I needed to cheat by looking over the maze. I don`t think it helped. I later saw what my people said are piglets running around. I got way too excited because I wanted to say `Hi!` I swear they...

I got to see dinosaurs! The dinosaurs are so big but seemed friendly so I wasn’t scared. I saw fireworks in the sky. It was a lot of noise but my people seemed to enjoy the show. I think they were more happy to see that the noise didn’t bother me. On a...

        It was a very hot month! I started the month off going camping. Camping isn’t that fun for a pup like me since I can’t run around. I’m asked to stay close by and hang out by the campfire. PADS Porter stayed with us and it was fun having her...

After Hawaii left, I was bored. I kinda miss the little guy but Shea came over for the weekend. It was nice to play with someone my size. We had really nice weather here so I got to go out on long walks and the off-leash park a lot. I visited the library and tried to...

     I had a sleep over party with Hawaii for 3 weeks! Everyone thinks he’s cute but I don’t think so. He steals my treats and toys. Aside from that, he’s very fun to play with ’cause he’s feisty. We went everywhere together, even the...

I was asked what I love. Well I love just about everything: food, toys, being indoor and outdoor, sleep, and mostly dogs, dogs, and more dogs. Probably easier to just ask what I don’t love. I’ve been to a lot of PADS functions this month, meeting all sorts...

           Hi everyone! This month I did a few new things. I went to my first Brier curling game at the Saddledome. All the “go in” practice paid off, as I was able to squeeze myself under the chair. Tight space! I went on a gondola ride, which I...

I spent Valentine’s Day with one of my buddies, PADS Shea. We had a great time hanging out. Look at how calm and cool we are in front of the kibble heart! At home, my duration is so good that my raisers tried to distract me with a train. Train going around and...

I had a great month playing with other dogs. First, PADS Shea came over to visit for a few days and I got to go out to the dog park when the weather was warm. But my raisers still kept me on my toes with training exercises. Check out my 60 Second Video on PADS...

Here’s Snow’s December Pupdate: I guess I wasn’t too bad. Santa dropped off some treats and a new toy for me! He also heard my wishes from November. We didn’t have much of a cold, white Christmas, which I was perfectly okay with. My people went...

Dear Santa, I heard from my people that I have to be good in order for my wishes to be granted. Well I think I have been a good pup so far. My people tell me that I’m a good boy most of the time. This is my second Christmas and I have a few things on my wish...

My puppy raisers left me for a week. I heard they went on a big ship and couldn’t take me. So I got to spend time with one of my PADS buddy, Charlie III and his raiser, Wendy. I went to my first Halloween party and I got to dress up as a little devil. All my...

Originally, when my mommy and daddy heard about the theme of this pupdate, they were shy and took a family shadow photo. I didn’t think it was a good idea, so we took another one. My mommy raiser is Carmen and my daddy co-raiser is Nghia. I love both of them but...

As summer comes to an end, I learned that I do not like swimming. I much prefer hanging out with other PADS puppies and staying dry. Or stay by the shore and watch ducks swim away. I went to my first outdoor wedding in August but I felt under dressed. I knew I should...

I did more hiking this summer and learned to swim! My raisers were so excited about me swimming that they didn’t take any pictures of me doing it. Though if I had my pick, I rather be staying by the shore than getting my hair wet. I saw my first squirrel and...

My summer vacation was filled with lots of activities. I had a great time with my raisers exploring Vancouver and Vancouver Island. I got to ride a ferry, see what a real beach is like, and hike in the rain forest! I also toured my future school, PADS campus in...
