Spring has sprung! That brings new smells on my walks and trails that are firsts for me and my first cherry blossoms! All the new smells in the trails mean there’s lots to explore, and I have to practice my skills like recall a lot, to make sure they’re really strong. It’s even better when I have friends along to practice with!

And there are lots of events on the weekends to keep us busy. My raiser took me to the National Pets Market, where I practiced my settling at the PADS booth with my friends.

The next weekend, we watched pickleball, and I got lots of cuddles at the Hollyburn Country Club during the Paddles for PADS event! It was my second time there as we went to the Christmas event, so even though it was noisy, I was pretty comfortable, and my raiser said I got so many compliments on my behaviour!

And then I did my civic duty and got out to vote!

At the end of the month, I started my puppy swap, so I’m off to a different raiser for two weeks to have lots of new experiences. More on that next month!
