February might be short, but it’s the best month yet. The snow was so much fun! Here’s a picture of me with our neighbour Emmy. When there’s snow, we can run around on the tennis courts and nobody minds. We also went to the Invictus games this month. The drums were...

Here’s a picture of me doing a “go-in.” They get me to do this all the time. I don’t really know why. But I don’t mind too much because I’d just be lying around on the floor anyway. And they give me treats, which is good. For some reason, they keep looking at the...

What an exciting month! I turned one year old this month, and we had Christmas too. Christmas Day was so exciting. The whole family came over, including Moca, the Bernese, who is part of my raisers’s son’s family. I spent most of the morning pestering him. Then, in...

This is the first month I stayed the same size all month. Almost a year old! My raisers are away now, so I am with a sitter. I’ve been here before, and they are really nice. I’m learning lots of new skills, but I’m still really curious. That makes it hard to keep the...

October was different for me. I’m getting to be a grown-up dog now, even though sometimes I still get treated like a puppy. But sometimes, I want to do things my way, and my raisers are learning how to work with me on that. I stayed at sitters for almost a week this...

September was another exciting month. I spent a couple of days with a new sitter. She has great trails around her house. I think I am going back there in November. I went to see my raiser’s grandsons play hockey. I couldn’t see too much from under the table...

A Day in the Life of Tobias Today, my raiser and I went on a long trail that hardly anyone uses. He calls it puppy heaven because I can run around off the leash. I like it because it has big lying down trees and huge mud puddles. It doesn’t have many other dogs, but...

I thought I was a big boy last month when I found out I weighed 40 pounds, but now I really am a big boy cause I weigh over 50 pounds. I hear people say that now I look like a real dog, but I already thought I was one. One of my raisers was away on a trip for part of...

Even though I was pretty big at the end of last month, I’m even bigger now. I weigh almost 50 pounds. Today, we are on Quadra Island. We had to take two ferries to get here. On one, we went upstairs, and I got to practice my “In” on the ferry! On Quadra, we are...

This is the month I grew up. I’m a big dog now! I weigh 42 pounds. So I want to be treated like a big dog – most of the time. I’m so grown up, I got to spend a week with a sitter while my raisers went out on a boat. It was great. The sitter has kids who live at...

April was another wonderful month. Everyone is saying that I finally got some legs, whatever that means. But it is true, that I can run faster and pull harder than before. Sometimes I even win at tug-a-war with Mark even though he’s much bigger than me. One highlight...

March was a wonderful month. Lots of new things and lots of great times with other dogs. Jan took me to play with lots of different PADS dogs: Boomer, Electra, Folie, Lumina, and Poppy. We spent a whole day up at Hood Point on Bowen Island with the rest of our family,...

It is nice to connect with you all, if only online. I hope to meet some of you in class or at other events. But let me introduce myself. I am Tobias, and I just arrived this week from Kansas. They treated me as cargo, but it wasn’t too bad because Krista was there in...
