Nolan | December 2025

Thursday, January 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Changes can be exciting AND hard! Since December 19, I have had so many new experiences … some are fun like new toys. Some are hard, like a car ride in a new vehicle or getting used to a new-to-me kennel. Meeting a new sitter who plays with me, feeds me, and gives me...

Cynder | December 2025

Thursday, January 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Chet | December 2025

Thursday, January 1, 2026 | Calgary, Pupdates

Christmas is so awesome. Lots of visitors, lots of new smells, and lots of attention! We have a new tree IN THE HOUSE, and it’s awesome. I have only knocked it down once (oops), but my tail has sent a few of the low-hanging ornaments flying. I have also been out for...

Gadget | December 2025

Thursday, January 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

December was a fun month for Gadget, and she enjoyed all the extra activities that took place. She went to three hockey games and a dance recital. She also enjoyed seeing all the lights and decorations everywhere she went. Probably her favourite was going to Burnaby...

Zoe | December 2025

Thursday, January 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Well, where’s the snow? I explained to myself…remembering last year when, roundabout December-ish, give or take, I think I remember there being some. S’all right b/c on Christmas Day my people, Ryder, Chuck, and Perry took me up Cypress, and I DID get my white...

Chilko | December 2025

Thursday, January 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

In December, I left my mom and siblings, and the 1st night in my new house, I was sad and didn’t sleep very well. My family, whom I am staying with, had to sleep next to the kennel the first night, and they told me it was okay. I am learning to live with...

Chorcha | December 2025

Thursday, January 1, 2026 | Calgary, Pupdates

Good news! My splint came off on Dec 8th and my leg has completely healed! Jen says it is a small miracle because it was hard to keep me quiet when the splint was on. I had to stay calm for 2 weeks after the splint came off but now it’s full speed ahead! I’ve been...

Mushu | December 2025

Thursday, January 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

December was a very busy month for me! With Christmas and Chanukah coming up, my raisers had lots to do, which meant lots of mall outings and shopping trips and a great chance to practice my durations with all the noise, crowds, and festive distractions! We also...

Frosty II | December 2025

Thursday, January 1, 2026 | Calgary, Pupdates

Frosty landed in Calgary in mid-November to start her puppy-raising journey. Within a week, she was introduced to some snow, which – not surprisingly, considering her name, LOL – she really enjoyed. She settled in with her new dog friend, released PADS...

Captain | December 2025

Thursday, January 1, 2026 | Advanced Dogs, Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Captain wrapped up 2025 with cuddles (lots!), kibbles (not nearly enough, in his humble opinion) and tons of compliments from strangers on his outstanding “working” behaviour while out in public. He kept his sitters amused with his frequent post-dinner Winston...

Saphira | December 2025

Thursday, January 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Saphira had a good start to the month, playing with her friends, PADS Daisy and PADS Bryn, in the forest, and mentoring her new pal, PADS Royal, who likes to use Saphira as a pillow. The second half of the month was quieter as she got spayed. She wasn’t very...

Patty | December 2025

Thursday, January 1, 2026 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Patty continues to be perfectly lovely at home; she never counter-surfs or tries to get into anything she shouldn’t (except the yoga mat, she is a pro at commandeering that as her new bed whenever it comes out). She gave a few gentle sniffs to our tree and the...

Donora | December 2025

Thursday, January 1, 2026 | Okanagan, Pupdates

Donora now has the occasional off-leash walk and loves them. Her recall when there are no other dogs around is excellent, and it is easy here to find hiking areas at this time of year where we are the only dog and raiser around…. she loves the little bit of snow...
