Seven II | January 2026

Sunday, February 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

January was a good month in Sevenland. We went to all sorts of different shopping events – Home Depot, Costco, Save on Foods, and Best Buy. We are also working on recall, and so far, I am doing a really good job. Even when we are at the off-leash park, and Mom...

Bumble | January 2026

Sunday, February 1, 2026 | Advanced Dogs, Lower Mainland, Pupdates

To start the new year off well, Bumble continued working on tempering his opinionated nature. He excels at spending long, quiet stretches on his bed while his human works and remains a total pro when it comes to his crate. Out in the world, Bumble made steady progress...

Tank | January 2026

Sunday, February 1, 2026 | Calgary, Pupdates

Hello World, Tank here. January has been an interesting month. The first week, it was so cold that we could barely get outside. I was pushing mom’s creativity to try to keep me entertained. She brought out the sniffy mat, which I mastered in minutes, then the treat...

Chet | January 2026

Sunday, February 1, 2026 | Calgary, Pupdates

Well, after a crazy Holiday season, we have slipped back into our routines. It means I am back working out (see my pic hanging out on a gym bench), and it’s been colder here in Calgary, so more indoor walks. Also, I just found out I am headed to Vancouver for my...

Glover | January 2026

Brandy | January 2026

Happy New Year. Hard to believe it’s a whole new year and Brandy is 9 months old. She’s growing up so fast. It’s been a busy month for her with lots of working sessions, walks, visits out in the big world, and even some time with puppy sitters. She truly is a...

Stetson II | January 2026

Sunday, February 1, 2026 | Calgary, Pupdates

Howdy! It’s Stetson. Today, I’m four months old and 32 lbs. of pawsome. I grew out of my old kennel and was a big help putting the bigger one together, as you can see in the photo that follows. This month, my raisers gave me a doggy do list: eat, drink, play, train,...

Jonsie | January 2026

Sunday, February 1, 2026 | Calgary, Pupdates

Jonsie was with a sitter from mid-December to mid-January; it’s fair to say I missed him immensely. However, he had the best time with Bev over Christmas and even had Billie as a playmate. They ventured out to their cabin for some lovely snowy walks, and he had a...

Milos | January 2026

Sunday, February 1, 2026 | Okanagan, Pupdates

Oh boy, did I have a great time in January. We drove to Vancouver and stayed at an apartment hotel by Stanley Park. Every day we walked in the park checking out the other dogs, ducks and geese. We took the ferry to Nanaimo, and I was on my best behaviour at Natasha...

Bryn II | January 2026

Sunday, February 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

New year, new year’s resolutions: Eat well, exercise appropriately, learn every day, and sleep lots. For some puppies, just like people, resolutions are hard to keep! We maintained good puppy nutrition, but when Bryn started teething, chewing became uncomfortable....

Ritz | January 2026

Sunday, February 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Ritzaroo reporting. Happy New Year, everyone. I’ve had a fun start to the year with daily outings and long walks around the neighbourhood. Sometimes I meet other PADS dogs for on-leash walks, and occasionally I have an off-leash play. I’m a fast runner and am working...
