Well, friends, I had a very busy month. Iโ€™ve been meeting up with my buddies PADS Morley, Shah and Blazer for some training, as Jen says I really need to learn to be calm and focused around other dogs. Easier said than done! I want to play! We went to Walmart and the Calgary Farmers Market, and they came to where I hang out on weekdays, and we practiced moving beside a wheelchair.

I got to go back to the cabin for a week. I LOVE running at what they call the Fairway Dog Park (golf course). We went out to a couple of restaurants this month, and I rested quietly under the table like the good boy that I am.

Iโ€™m really good at going to my bed because I get baby carrots when I do, and they are my new favourite thing. Iโ€™m also getting better at moving around my perch pot. Iโ€™m a pro at โ€œwaitโ€ and โ€œoutโ€. Jen is starting to get me to stay in one position for longer periods of time, which is super boring, but I do my best to placate her. Sometimes, I forget why Iโ€™m there and need a little reminder, though.

โ€˜Til next month!
