July was a busy, busy month for me with a lot of different activities. I am now big enough to jump into and out of the car hatchback on my own (my raiser is very happy about this!).

I had a couple of trips out to the airport – not very exciting, but a good chance to practice my β€œgo somewhere and do nothing” game. Now here are some of the more interesting things I did
β€’ a round of golf at the Queen E Pitch & Putt
β€’ went with my raiser for her haircut
β€’ enjoyed a Canadians baseball game – boy, that was loud!
β€’ went to the ultra-low tide– that was a lot of fun – so much water to splash and run in, however I’m not ready to go swimming yet.
β€’ Theatre Under the Stars play – just one word – mosquitos!!
β€’ had an β€œin-dog” class with some of my fellow PADS dogs at Warner Loat park
β€’ UBC pool for the first time (but no dip in the pool for me)
β€’ salsa dancing at Robson Square (okay – I didn’t actually dance, but lot of people there were dancing)
β€’ hiked the Four Lakes Trail at Squamish, and …
β€’ took a ferry ride to Bowen Island – whew!

I’m getting much better at settling in different places, and my raiser would like to practice this some more, but things have slowed down a lot the last week or so – it has just been too hot. I have been playing with an ice cube, and laying in front of a fan to cool off. I’d love to go to the beach, but I started my heat cycle, so I’m sticking close to home for a while.
