I enjoyed meeting Santa, experiencing snow, but didn’t love having to wear panties after going into heat! I’m working hard on the bumpy, grated staircases. I’m pretty good on any kind of surface, but these stairs don’t feel nice on my paws, and they make me nervous.... Read more

December was stressful for both Bowie and me, but we overcame it and had a relaxing break. It started with finals for both Bowie and me (he helped me very much during these finals…by sleeping through them), and after that, we relaxed for practically all of December.... Read more

December brought a small change of pace for me, as I went into heat right at the start of the month. It meant a slight disruption to our usual plans and left me a bit sleepier than normal, but with some extra rest and care, I took it all in stride. Despite that, I... Read more

Hello all. Digger here. Had a good month chilling with a couple of families on the North Shore. I learned that barking doesn’t get me anything, so I tried mumbling and grumbling. Not a lot of success with that either. I have been walking some trails, checking... Read more

I was a busy, busy puppy in December! I started the month doing a photoshoot collab (because I’m the cutest ever) with UBC’s volleyball teams! I wore a very comfy sweater and even borrowed a bow tie so I looked my very best. Then I had not one but two trips to the... Read more
