Hey PADS Village. Did you see the snow out there last week?? How amazing was that? I think I remember snow from when my hooman and I were in Ontario last year – but I’m still going to act like it’s the first time I’ve seen it. My hooman let me... Read more

I discovered snow this month, and while I was a little skeptical at first, I realized that it’s lots of fun. I’ve also realized that other dogs are fun, too, so it’s harder for me to walk past them without trying to say hi, but I’m learning... Read more

This month began TERRIBLY. Firstly, I had to wear this embarrassing cone! Do you know how hard it is to sleep in one of those things?? Every time I’d try to roll over, it would get stuck on my kennel, which is annoying and noisy. That’s not the worst part;... Read more
