Odin enjoyed severalย bus and SkyTrain trips this month.ย He boardedย the bus and SkyTrain with ease and after just a little manoeuveringย and a treat (of course), Odin was happy to settle near my feet and outย of the passenger traffic in the aisles. Several passengers learnedย about PADS as we crossed the three zones in Vancouver and bussed on to
the Sunshine Coast.
Another event that was memorable In September was our trip to Portย Alberni which took in the Alberni Fall Fair and Parade.ย Odin spentย several evenings in the fair’s petting zoo area getting familiar withย the farm animals.ย He found the Texas long-horned steer a littleย intimidating but he did get used to the llamas, the donkeys and theย chickens.ย The fall fair picture is of Odin sitting beside the longestย cucumber that we have ever seen – a prize winner for sure!ย ย While inย Port Alberni he also met with his favourite pal, Jet, for two refreshingย morning playdates at the Christmas Tree farm.ย Thanks Jet!!!
At 20 months Odin is spending lots of time practicing obedience withย distraction and fluency training.ย This is challenging work for Odinย and some days are great.ย โPractice makes perfectโ is our motto so we’ll
keep on practicing.ย ๐
