Mushu | January 2026

Sunday, February 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

January was such an exciting month for me! It started off with a very special house guest. For a week and a half, I had little PADS Pixel stay with me — he was just eight weeks old! I loved helping him learn how to settle and learn his house manners. We had so much...

Riff | January 2026

Sunday, February 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Hey everyone, it’s me again!! January was approximately 47 years long, but I made it through and so did my raiser. We’ve been very busy this month—even with me spending a whole week at a sitter’s (10/10, would visit again). My raiser has taken me on lots of outings,...

Minnie II | January 2026

Sunday, February 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

We are enjoying every last minute of our time spent with Minnie as she prepares for the next leg of her journey with the PADS Breeding Program. Minnie was disappointed that she had to wait on the side of the pool instead of swimming, and our visit to the dentist was...

Chilko | January 2026

Sunday, February 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

This month, I went shopping at lots of grocery stores – lots of staff now know me at Costco. I have mastered the stairs at my house, but still nervous going up and down stairs when we go out. I went to the high school for the open house and saw lots of kids...

Donora | January 2026

Jingle II | January 2026

Sunday, February 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Jingle discovered sand this month! We came upon a volleyball court on our walk that was vacant and full of nice sand. Jingle thought it was great and had a nice run around and a very good sniff. She got out with a number of other PADS dogs for a walk and some training...

Chorcha | January 2026

Sunday, February 1, 2026 | Calgary, Pupdates

Is it the end of January already? Time flies! I must be having fun. I was out and about quite a bit this month. I went to work with Jen a lot and just last week got to go to the ICU for the first time. So many interesting machines and noises! I went to the clinic and...

Bromley | January 2026

Sunday, February 1, 2026 | Calgary, Pupdates

I travelled back from Nova Scotia in January after spending Christmas in Halifax. We stopped in Toronto, and I stressed everyone out by refusing to use the pet relief area. But I made it back to Calgary, accident-free, proving I have a superior bladder. Besides that,...

Mickey II | January 2026

Sunday, February 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

The new year kicked off with the return to work, and now the human and I have three days in the office instead of two! I don’t mind, though. I love my snoozes on the train during the daily commute, seeing my colleagues, and getting out for sniffy walks at lunch, no...
