March has been a month of snow and ice (the booties came back, and Iโm pretty much a pro at those now!) and then a whole eruption of new and wonderful smells. I was born in April and in a warmer climateโฆ so alas, smelling all the good things to smell as the snow and ice melt away, has been an all-time favourite undertaking for me. Even things that donโt smell so good to the humans, smell just fabulous to me.
Just today, actually, my raiser bathed me – as Iโm apparently off to a sitter for the last couple of weeks of the month (so she submitted this pupdate early – donโt worry, sheโll fill you in on anything exciting in my April update!) and she wanted me smelling my best. She and I have different opinions about what that actually means, but the dirt and mud do show up on my lovely yellow fur. I canโt deny that.
This month I am stepping up my game and giving my โheelโ and โsideโ an upgrade. Iโm quite good at โheelโ, but not as consistent with โsideโ. On the side, my raiser is trying to teach me to โgo visitโ, so I can rest my head on the laps of students. Weโre getting there. Iโm always happy to have a place to lay my headโฆ I just donโt always like to keep it there if someone wants to pet me too. What I do LOVE, is that my work days now have more outdoor time with the weather improving. That’s a huge perk. Weโre back to making weekly trips to the library or other community outings with our human students. Paw-some!
See you in April!
