Dior | June 2025

Dior’s first week of June was her last of 4 weeks with sitters in the Okanagan. I think she had a good time, but I didn’t get a chance to ask her because her first 2 days at home had a strong parallel to the behaviour of an ADHD teenage girl with an...

Puzzle | June 2025

Puzzle learned an important lesson this month. Do NOT believe human when they say we have no plans. So many times, we had nothing on the calendar, only to go to appointments, fitness classes and PADS events. One weekend, human said we had nothing to do, so we went on...
