Well, I had QUITE a month! For starters, I had always been reluctant to climb long flights of open stairs like the ones at a favourite park of ours in North Vancouver. My human dad (known to PADS as Perry the Human, as opposed to Perry the Pup!) couldnโ€™t convince me to climb them. So it fell to my HS (human sibling Ryder) to show me it was both safe and a good workout .. now I do it regularly!

The other big news was on the 13th when I got handed over to two EXPERT sitters Mikal and Alec; they kept me until the 24th, and did I learn a LOT! I soon figured out, that I couldnโ€™t fool them and had better learn to โ€œfly straightโ€! Though I always kennel fine at home, I was reluctant at their place at first, but we got that figured out in just a couple of days. I also had some reluctance to walk on their shiny bathroom floor tile, but I got the hang of it. They said I did pretty well at obeying โ€œdrop itโ€ when I picked up stuff outside. They sure knew how to walk with me in the way PADS wants. I even heard them say they would consider having me over again for a play date!
