Wow, I feel different. Atย the start of March, I could not stop myself from romping, playingย jumpingย wrestling – as Chuck-peep said –ย running amok – amok -amok -amok. Then, in the last week of March, I felt grown up.ย Iโ€™mย more serious now, and my Chuck-peep saysย itโ€™sย somethingย about,ย โ€œThe changeโ€.ย ย Iย find it much more pleasant walking right besideย Chuck-peepsโ€™ย side and listening to everything she says – for a while –ย longer than last month when Iย JUSTย COULD NOT STAY CALM!!!!ย ย I sit, stand, lay downย stand, lay down, sit – sheย justย canโ€™tย make up her mindย what she wants me to do! Butย I do because she shares a kibble with me each time I do what she asks. Chuck-peepsย is high maintenanceย butย I heart her because Chuck-peeps is FOOD for my stomach and soul. Sheย saysย Iโ€™mย kind ofย growing on her, mmm, I am growing. PADSย told Chuck-peeps, and she toldย me,ย that I need to lightenย up,ย again. Nowย Perry-peeps does not give me food because Chuck-peeps thought SHE was the only one giving me food- she found out Perry-peeps was feeding me on the side – Iย didnโ€™tย bark a thing because Iย justย like to go along with things and enjoy what kindness comes my way. Perry-peepsย IS kindโ€ฆ butย heย isย very quietย too -always looks around to seeย whoโ€™sย watching before quietly sharing good things (treats)with me,ย โ€œShush, Missย Mara”ย he says.ย Butย not lately.

I found some pups at Centennial Beach in Tsawwassen, but they were no fun to play with.ย We did haveย a really goodย training walk in Pacific Spirit Park with uber-trainer George and his dogs (one has now gone off to its job)!
