Kashtin | October 2025

Saturday, November 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Happy Fall, PADS Village. The days are getting shorter and it’s getting a little cooler on my morning walks – but I still love them!! My hooman says those walks are “all about me”, so he lets me lead the way and we can stop and sniff anytime I...

My Nana came for a visit from Ontario. We went to the Vancouver Aquarium, walked around Stanley Park & Queen Elizabeth Park. Went to the Cactus Club in Yaletown, where I was really good lying under the table while everybody had their lunch. Halloween came, and I...

Ritz | October 2025

Saturday, November 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Ritz reporting. October was a fun month. I had numerous walks every day, and the trees are shedding leaves, which are crunchy and fun to walk through. My energy levels have surged, and I love to zoom around the house and outside. Outings this month were the usual...

Beckett II | October 2025

Lylie | October 2025

Saturday, November 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Lylie is 5 months old now! She’s developing quite a personality, happy and playful around other dogs and people, but aware of her need to be calm and attentive when given a cue. I’ve shared a picture of her by the poolside with her floppy ears, as it resembles her...

Smaug | October 2025

Saturday, November 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

October was a month of growing discipline for Smaug, the kind where all his earlier work started coming together with a new layer of maturity. His perch, back up, and touch are holding steady and becoming second nature, which freed us up to master another: impulse...

Picard | October 2025

Saturday, November 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Picard had his surgery at the end of this month, so we tried to experience some fun things before he couldn’t ….but his Mom got sick. So instead Picard got to have fun with his babysitter and impressed her with his awesomeness when she took him to the...

Casey was with puppy sitters until the 24th of this month, and was happy to have another dog for company the last two weeks. He seemed to settle down nicely at both his sitter’s homes, and Anita-sitter, number 1, sent me a picture of Casey watching her garden....

Mickey II | October 2025

Saturday, November 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

My second spooky season has come to an end—and it was a frightfully good time! I kicked off the month with a few fun-filled days with an awesome sitter while my raisers enjoyed a little getaway. I had a blast and even met a giant dinosaur! He was super friendly and...

Jonsie | October 2025

Saturday, November 1, 2025 | Calgary, Pupdates

Jonsie is making positive progress with his loose-leash walking. If we encounter another distraction, he needs to be constantly fed and distracted. If I am not fast enough to catch another dog, for example, or a squirrel, he will pull. So this is an area we will...

T-Bone | October 2025
