The most important thing I did this month was join the Scouts for their Remembrance Day ceremony honouring those who made sacrifices for our freedom. I was very attentive during the whole ceremony, even when the military plane flew right over my head! I also worked on...

In case you didn’t know, one of my favourite things to do is snuggle. Some people think it’s because I love it, but I always seem to know when other people need it, too! Sometimes when I put my head or paw on a friend they smile and stress melts away – it’s...

September is my favourite month! Can you guess why? It’s my BIRTHDAY! I’m officially TWO years old now. I went to my very first football game this month. It sure was loud! That didn’t bother me at all. However, I don’t know why we had to go on...

To keep everyone safe, our puppy classes have been online during the pandemic. We practice our skills at home and then send in videos of our progress to our trainer for homework. However, this month, I got to go on a special trip with my raisers to the mall and see...

I’m a very curious dog; I love to watch people, dogs, nothing at all and smell everything. Of course, I do know how to relax, too! I’m told this is an important skill for a service dog! I especially love curling up on the ground where the sun is shining through a...

The weather seems to be confused if it’s Winter or Spring! The flowers are blooming, it’s sunny one day, and the next there is snow! It doesn’t matter to me, though – I’m happy either way. I’m just glad we’ve been able to get...

From my photos this month, you would think all I do is sleep! I do have to admit I LOVE cuddling! However, we did get out on some fun adventures – and then I would crash when we got home! We’re doing lots of exploring outdoors and working on something they...

Happy Pawlidays! I saw so many interesting decorations on people’s lawns this month! Some of them even moved and sang! I was intrigued, but they didn’t bother me at all. We would watch them for a while and then continue on our walk. It seems that with...

Fall is coming to end and holiday preparations have begun! I’ve been given strict instructions NOT to touch anything on the Christmas tree – no problem! I have great house manners now; I know what’s mine and what’s not. My tail, on the other...

Highlight of the month was being out at the little hoomans soccer game. It has been a long time since we’ve been out to the soccer field! It was fun to see my old friends, and (silently) cheer on the teams. I’ve been working really hard on keeping engaged...

It’s my birth month! I turned one year old! To celebrate, I went on my very first (but hopefully not last!) camping trip! There were so many wonderful things about it, but my favourites were the long walks, swimming in the lake, and all the wonderful smells!!!...

When you’re in a pandemic, sometimes you have to be creative to find new methods of entertainment. This month, I enjoyed testing toys to see which ones are the most durable. Spoiler alert: they weren’t very durable. Submitted by: Kristin...

Summer is here! And even bigger news – I can be in cape again!!! I thought the hoomans might have lost it since I haven’t seen it in so long! I was SO EXCITED when they got it out!!! I didn’t even care where we went; I just wanted to go to work! It...

What’s the best day of the year? MAY THE FOURTH, of course! It’s a very special day for me, my sponsor (Disney), and my friends at Industrial Light and Magic (who I miss seeing VERY much now that we’re working from home! Sending you all lots of tail...

I may be over seven months old, but I will never out grow snoogles! Thankfully, the physical distance rules don’t apply to me and hoomans! Life right now consists of: snoogles, training, and walks. Repeat. 😀 There are lots of things for me to work on at home...

I’m not sure why, but some of my favourite things seem to be shrinking! My yellow cape, which lets everyone know that I’m doing a super important job, had to get upgraded to a bigger size. My favourite spot under the living room chair also seems to be...

Happy New Year! 2020 started with a Polar Plunge! Not for me, but I did get to watch the swimmers with the big crowd. I prefer the warm water in the bathtub. We saw two other PADS puppies at the pretty exciting event! We weren’t allowed to play since we were in...

My raisers take me almost everywhere they go, so I am comfortable in all situations. This month they took me to the movie theatre to see a special screening of “Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker”! It is my most favouritest movie EVER! It’s extra special...

What an exciting month! I traveled from my Dogs with Wings family in Edmonton to join my PADS family in Calgary and then I met my puppy raisers in Vancouver! As if that wasn’t exciting enough, I also met my wonderful sponsors who chose my name (which I love, by...
