Encore | June 2025

Hi there!  This is my last pupdate because I am now living as a V.I.P. (very important pet).  It turns out that life as a service dog just wasn’t the right fit for me, but I’m still going to be helping people and changing lives with my new family.  Thank...

Picard | June 2025

I finished showing off my skills to 3 different elementary schools, and introduced my cuteness to over 400 students… then I went for a drink. Yes, I tried the Rascal drinks at the liquor store. Every purchase helps fund PADS, so I just had to try one. It was...

Bromley | June 2025

This month, I travelled on my very first airplane to visit family in Nova Scotia. I was a very good boy and only tried to poop in the airport, one time. The flights were no problem. I did a hike and managed well in the sticky heat of the East Coast. I am still working...

Hi everyone! This month was a big adventure—my raiser and I travelled to Calgary for a family emergency. It was a 10-hour drive, and I was such a good girl the whole way! My raiser was so proud, especially remembering how, on the very first day she picked me up from...

Korra | June 2025

It’s been an exciting month. I was away for a week, and Korra went to sit with a high school councillor in West Van. She did an amazing job, and her sitter was very impressed. This may be her calling. She is such an attuned little girl. Always knows when someone...

Gem II | June 2025

Summer is here — and so are the adventures! Even though I only spent half the month with my raisers because of the PADS puppy swap, we packed in a ton of fun while we were together. We took a trip to Pemberton, where I had the best time running around in open fields...

Blazer II | June 2025

Blazer spent the beginning of June recovering from his neuter surgery, so it was a pretty quiet start to the month. To make his recovery a bit easier, I got him a new pirate chicken toy, which he enjoyed chewing on. By mid-month, he was back on his feet and ready for...

Allen | June 2025

Hi, everybody, and thanks for reading my Pupdate! I’ve had a busy month. My moms took me to another lake, and I swam this time! At first, it was a little scary when my feet didn’t touch bottom, but then I got the hang of it. I think I’d like to do it again! I also got...

Chet | June 2025

June has been so much fun. The sun comes up early and is still out late into the evening. I have been waking my handlers earlier and earlier these days, and while I love it, they seem to get a tad annoyed, especially on something called “weekends”. I also had a friend...
