Puzzle | March 2025

Tuesday, April 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Spring is in the air, and Puzzle has a strut in his step – because he is a new PADS DAD! After all the action in February, we needed a quieter, more routine month. We focused on rest during the human workday and daytime kenneling, an easy ask for Puzzle who loves his...

Dior | March 2025

Tuesday, April 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Dior was a busy girl during the month of March, with plenty of downtime in between. The folks at BC Ambulance at SMH gave her plenty of lovin’, which she soaked up without complaint. While her manners were not impeccable, her ‘go say hi’s’ are...

Cava | March 2025

Tuesday, April 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

This month was rather restful for Cava. She was still wearing a diaper as she was in heat and could only be at home and go to school. There we enjoyed a few activities while counting down to spring break. During spring break she enjoyed two weeks of change of pace...

Mushu | March 2025

Tuesday, April 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

This month started out a bit quietly for me while I recovered from a bout of growing pains. I enjoyed some rest time at home, getting spoiled by my family and brushing up on some skills in the garden. I felt better pretty quickly and headed out for grocery shopping...

Tesla | March 2025

Tuesday, April 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

I settled into my new raiser’s home beautifully, and everyone adores me. We had a quiet start to the month as I went into heat! Once that was done, we sprang into action with field trips to the Vancouver Art Gallery, my favourite was the Emily Carr exhibit, all...

Draco II | March 2025

Tuesday, April 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

It’s been a few months since we last posted. Draco is now 80lbs. We have been busy exploring the city and enjoying the blossoms. We saw snow for the first time and went on a ferry for the first time. Though I’m not so sure he knew that was a boat he hopped...

Giorgio | March 2025

Tuesday, April 1, 2025 | Calgary, Pupdates

Happy spring everyone, at least we hope it’s spring. For the most part of March, I was at a sitter’s home. It was so much fun. There were 3 other dogs living in the home too, I had a blast!!! I was also taught some manners by my doggie friends, and I learned that...

Hi Everybody, Well, March was a very special month for me and my raisers. There is just so much happening! First of all, it was my birthday. I am one year old now, and I did get some neat birthday presents, two new beds for my kennels upstairs and down, and a new...

Zoe | March 2025

Tuesday, April 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

I am very graceful, as you can see, I stepped up – upon the blue dots – and didn’t even pee! I’m good at parkour, or so I am told it takes me up high and over the… I dunno, I’m not a poet,… I’m a DOG. And I’m pretty – and still a “sweet” says...

Sparrow | March 2025

Tuesday, April 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Sparrow is the most perfect dog we’ve ever met. Her only kryptonite is other dogs because she loves them so much, and now she has PADS Teenie as a roommate, so she’s very happy. Sparrow is very gentle, but Teenie plays hard, so Sparrow gets very tired! Sparrow has...

Arthur has been doing great. He did a few fun things like swimming with other PADS dogs, the Abbotsford Canuck’s game, an ambulance station visit, and the Invictus Games closing ceremony. Arthur will be happy when the sun is shining more consistently. Submitted...

Marni | March 2025

Tuesday, April 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Hello Pupsters! This month was not quite as busy as last month with the Invictus Games. However, we still got to go on some field trips for training, and I got to go on a few of them. One was to Home Depot, and I have been there before, but this time, I got to go with...

Windsor | March 2025

Tuesday, April 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Windsor had a lot of fun on his first couple of forest trail hikes in his downtime from work. At school, for the Love of Reading Day, he got to try out costume-wearing as a Brown Bar-ba-loot with his raiser as the Lorax. This month, he also went on his first week-long...

Zephyr II | March 2025

Tuesday, April 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

March is a fun month (just like any other month!). I went to the paramedic station and I had an experience getting up into the ambulance. This was the first time I actually practiced being in a working environment. There were some things I did well for the first time...

Momo II | March 2025

Tuesday, April 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

It has been a relatively quiet month as I’m still working on my car anxiety and not travelling in a vehicle very much; however, I’m really happy to jump in the car and get my treats! And this travel break has given me more opportunities to work on my kenneling. I...
