December was another month of firsts for me. I met PADS Misha, who is at PADS university! Heβs a very smart dog and wasnβt interested in my silly puppy shenanigans.
I also met PADS service dog Zaria at Lions Gate Hospital. Then I met my brother, PADS Radar, who I havenβt seen since we were 8 weeks old.
I went on a couple of big hikes with Liz because Iβm a big strong teenager now. I celebrated my first-ever Christmas with all the McLean family, and it was the first year in 5 since Liz and Neil had all their kids home for Christmas and boy, did I ever get spoiled.
