This month, I spent 5 days with a sitter as my raiser was taking a holiday that was not dog-friendly. While there, I had a lot of fun with my doggie friend, Finch, who was willing to share her bed and chew toys with me! I got to go to both of the PADS volunteer BBQs... Read more

Hi everyone! For the first half of July, I was still in Calgary soaking up the prairies, the sunshine, and the crazy weather! One minute it was pouring rain, the next it was a full-on thunderstorm with the whole house shaking. But me? Totally unbothered. I took it all... Read more

July was a pretty low-key month for me — turns out, having a heat cycle means lots of rest time. Mine lasted just over 4 weeks, so I had to take a break from my usual public access outings and off-leash walks. That also meant wearing diapers (ugh) — I wasn’t a fan at... Read more

Rooty continues to be quite the character. Happy, funny and an eager pup. Can be a total maniac when playing, but will calm in an instant for “gentle”. He is distracted by other dogs, but was neutered 2 weeks ago, so hopefully, that will get better. He... Read more

Hi Pupsters! July wasn’t the most exciting month—I went into something called estrus (whatever that means!), and had to wear a diaper for three whole weeks! Can you believe it? Dignity level: low. Treat level: still acceptable. Even with all that, I still got out for... Read more

Hello Lovely People, July was a pretty good month. I got to go camping again, and I really love it. Luckily, it didn’t rain too much, since I don’t love the rain. For some reason, it rained a lot this month. My raiser told me that it’s unusual, but... Read more
