July was such a fun month! It started out with me turning 18 months old on Canada Day. My human finds it hard to believe that Iโ€™m already a year and a half old, but I think I look very grown-up and distinguished.ย 

Mostly July meant that it was time for summer fun! A bunch of my fellow mister Blake 8 Star Promise Litter pups and I (as well as some other friends too) had a beach party where we ran around and got super muddy together! I also got to go camping on the Sunshine Coast with some of my favourite puppy sitters. We went to the beach, we hiked, and I supervised while they did a cider tasting. So many adventures!

In class, this month has been more about my human learning stuff than me. Iโ€™ve been helping my human with her dog handling skills. Sheโ€™s learning stuff like where the right zone is to give me rewards, how to hold the leash properly, and how to properly get me back into position if Iโ€™m not in the right spot. I think Iโ€™m a pretty fabulous assistant, if I do say so myself.
