AntonioΒ has been with new advanced sitters for a week now. He is a lively boy but has settled well.

A large collection of stuffies in the toybox had to be hidden as he believes that the only good stuffy is a dead stuffy! He is now limited to Benny bones and Kongs, which do not have stuffing, and he chews them hard!

He seems to like living near Pacific Spirit Park – the most exciting part of every day is going for a long off-leash run, especially with other Pads friends. He plays well with dogs he meets and practises duration sits on the trails.

He has been out to a restaurant for lunch and snoozed under the table despite the delicious smells. He has also visited Granville Island Market. He settled well and liked the floor-to-ceiling windows because he could watch the pigeons outside. He loves a peanut butter licky mat for nail trimming.

Over Easter, he will attend some church services. He will learn to settle in a new environment with different noises and activities.
