Storm II had a great time over Christmas in Vancouver and the surrounding mountains. His sitter likes adventures just as much as he does. Storm is doing well with all things obedience and is learning the cue “hug.” Thank you again for all your support of Advanced Dog...

Storm II prefers to be naked and unincumbered by his cape. When his mind is on other things, he doesn’t mind the cape, but he is advocating support for the use of PADS bandanas vs capes. He likes his outings for the most part but has yet to be eager to attend...

My month didn’t start off that great as I had to have surgery….nothing major; I just got neutered. BUT…I had to wear the cone of shame, and I really didn’t like that. Fortunately, I recovered quickly and was excited to take a few trips out in...

I got to go to a sitter for a few weeks this month. It was so exciting because everything was new. It was a new house where I got lots of attention because I was the only pup. Everywhere the sitter took me was new, with new smells, new places to see, and new...

I turned one this month and got a special peanut butter treat. But I wouldn’t put my birthday hat on, so no picture. I’m still not thrilled with wearing my vest, so I didn’t venture out in public. I love playing in the snow, but it ended up so cold...
