A Day in the Life of Tobias Today, my raiser and I went on a long trail that hardly anyone uses. He calls it puppy heaven because I can run around off the leash. I like it because it has big lying down trees and huge mud puddles. It doesn’t have many other dogs, but...

August was a big month. I had my first heat cycle. I did not feel like myself. I needed to be close to my people–staying in constant touch (literally). I didn’t mind diapers and wore them in the house. We stayed away from tennis courts and other public...
