Hi friends! Lyriq here with my April pupdate! This month was full of sunshine, fun, and some great learning moments. Over the Easter long weekend, I got to hang out with some tiny humans. They were really fun and kind of unpredictable, which made it a great time for...

Bentley II | April 2025

Thursday, May 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

I’m becoming a teenager now. I like humping the girl dogs, but Gail doesn’t let me. 🙁 We’ve been on many walks this month, and I’m no longer afraid of entering the water. We volunteered at a Pickleball tournament this month. There was a toy...

Lumina | April 2025

Thursday, May 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

I think that I am still feeling a little tired from when I was in heat. But this month, I went to 2 sitters. I was at the first sitter for 4 days & the other sitter for 6 days. The first one had another dog I could play with, but the other one I was alone. I came...

For the month of April, I was at a sitter’s as my raiser went away on holiday. I was staying with a family with 2 teenagers, 1 cat and 1 dog. I was so busy this month. I went to the White Caps game and helped set up the PADS booth. I got to visit so many...

Blazer II | April 2025

Thursday, May 1, 2025 | Calgary, Pupdates

Blazer spent the month getting to know our senior foster cats. While he was quite excited to make their acquaintance when they arrived, the cats were much more cautious about getting to know him. I don’t think they will ever be best friends, but they’ve all learned to...

Sokka | April 2025

Thursday, May 1, 2025 | Calgary, Pupdates

Sokka continues to mature and is great with the basic cues, and has recently learned “back up”, which has come in handy in public when he needs to fit in a small space. Sokka recently attended a fundraising event in Calgary for PADS, and loved the attention and was a...

Hello! My name is Major, and I just met my raiser this past week. I’ve given her a good time with lots of cuddles, slept on her foot on the drive home, and lots of smells in the backyard. I like to sit and stare and take in the world around me. A couple of...

Giorgio | April 2025

Thursday, May 1, 2025 | Calgary, Pupdates

Hello everyone, Giorgio made some great strides this past month, learning to control his impulsive nature, checking in before going for something, and checking in when he wants something on the floor. So proud of him! Giorgio is always a bundle of energy, with lots of...

Morley | April 2025

Thursday, May 1, 2025 | Calgary, Pupdates

Morley had a great April full of training and learning new tasks. He has continued to work on perfecting his ‘heel’ and ‘side’ beside a wheelchair and was introduced to ‘behind’. In typical Morley fashion, he picks things up at...
