Seven II | February 2026

Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

This was a very exciting month. We got to go to a Whitecaps game and talk to all sorts of nice people. Unfortunately, we got kennel cough, I think it was at the puppy park, but I stopped coughing quite quickly and just finished my 7 Day quarantine. I actually quite...

Gaffer | February 2026

Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Okanagan, Pupdates

Another great month with Gaffer. Nothing out of the ordinary. He had a visit to the handy dart. Sat there and watched the ramp go down. Walked up the ramp, looked around, and sat there while it went back up. No problem with any of it. The loose leash walking is...

Pixie II | February 2026

Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

I celebrated my 6 months with some of my siblings, and our raisers were laughing at how we all like to bite body parts as play, and weigh the same, even though I am a girl, versus my brothers! I also try to spend some time with my mentor, Hara. My raiser says that if...

Belle IV | February 2026

Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Okanagan, Pupdates

Belle turned one on the last day of the month. This led to a reflection on the many changes that have taken place since Belle came into my life. She has gone from a little puppy who had to be carried down the stairs and who was content with a small world. Belle loves...

Rita | February 2026

Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Chilko | February 2026

Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

This month I got to go to 2 restaurants for the first time! My mommy and daddy said this takes some practice to just lie down – they told me that was a good time to have a sleep. I just wanted to get up and see what everyone was doing. I went to a Chinese New...

Doane | February 2026

Tattor | February 2026

Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Calgary, Pupdates

February was a month of contrasts—the weather just couldn’t make up its mind! We bounced between warm days and cold snaps, frosty mornings that turned Tattor’s whiskers white, and everything in between. Through it all, Tattor remained her adaptable self,...
