It continues to amaze me (and my raiser!) with how many new adventures I can continue to have, even though Iโ€™m into my second year with this family. November brought me to the optometrist to visit Santa (againโ€ฆ I did have a chance to meet the big guy last year as well) and the arcade (noisy!). I consistently impress all those around me with my ability to stay calm and focused on my handler, regardless of my location.

At school, Iโ€™ve been doing fabulous work. Even though Iโ€™m still in training, Iโ€™ve been a big part of supporting a couple of students in overcoming a lot of anxiety around dogs. I love being an ambassador for PADS and dogs alike. The indoor soccer season is also in full swing, so Iโ€™m a regular at all the Calgary soccer domes. I have yet to be given a jersey though. Just sayin.

It feels great to be back and out in full force and fully recovered! I look forward to the holidays and all the great smells and excitement they bring! My raiser says weโ€™ll be out to cut down our Christmas tree this weekend – canโ€™t wait!

Until next month,
Blair
