January was such an exciting month for me! It started off with a very special house guest. For a week and a half, I had little PADS Pixel stay with me — he was just eight weeks old! I loved helping him learn how to settle and learn his house manners. We had so much... Read more

We are enjoying every last minute of our time spent with Minnie as she prepares for the next leg of her journey with the PADS Breeding Program. Minnie was disappointed that she had to wait on the side of the pool instead of swimming, and our visit to the dentist was... Read more

This month, I went shopping at lots of grocery stores – lots of staff now know me at Costco. I have mastered the stairs at my house, but still nervous going up and down stairs when we go out. I went to the high school for the open house and saw lots of kids... Read more

Jingle discovered sand this month! We came upon a volleyball court on our walk that was vacant and full of nice sand. Jingle thought it was great and had a nice run around and a very good sniff. She got out with a number of other PADS dogs for a walk and some training... Read more
