Wow, I feel different. AtΒ the start of March, I could not stop myself from romping, playingΒ jumpingΒ wrestling – as Chuck-peep said –Β running amok – amok -amok -amok. Then, in the last week of March, I felt grown up.Β I’mΒ more serious now, and my Chuck-peep saysΒ it’sΒ somethingΒ about,Β β€œThe change”.Β Β IΒ find it much more pleasant walking right besideΒ Chuck-peeps’ side and listening to everything she says – for a while –Β longer than last month when IΒ JUSTΒ COULD NOT STAY CALM!!!!Β Β I sit, stand, lay downΒ stand, lay down, sit – sheΒ justΒ can’tΒ make up her mindΒ what she wants me to do! ButΒ I do because she shares a kibble with me each time I do what she asks. Chuck-peepsΒ is high maintenanceΒ butΒ I heart her because Chuck-peeps is FOOD for my stomach and soul. SheΒ saysΒ I’mΒ kind ofΒ growing on her, mmm, I am growing. PADSΒ told Chuck-peeps, and she toldΒ me,Β that I need to lightenΒ up,Β again. NowΒ 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 – IΒ didn’tΒ bark a thing because IΒ justΒ like to go along with things and enjoy what kindness comes my way. Perry-peepsΒ IS kind… butΒ heΒ isΒ very quietΒ too -always looks around to seeΒ who’sΒ watching before quietly sharing good things (treats)with me,Β β€œShush, MissΒ Mara”Β he says.Β ButΒ not lately.

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