As I get closer to turn-in time, I am working on important behaviours that I may need if I get a job, such as not eating the kibbles off the ground or my legs. Luckily, I am very affectionate, so interacting with the public is easy for me. I met a lovely group of... Read more

Elora got more practice attending medical appointments with her raiser and her raiser’s mother during the first week of April and did well. She got her eyes checked on the PADS campus, and they were fine. She enjoyed playing with her raiser’s... Read more

April has been awesome. The weather has been nicer, which means long walks through Fish Creek Park. At the end of the month, my buddy Link stayed with us for a long weekend before he went on to his full-time service work. I have been much better with my duration as I... Read more

This month has been full of PADS activities. Besides my regular puppy classes, I had a special walk-and-talk with my instructor so she could see how I handled myself in public. Overall, I did well, but there are always ways to get better, and I’m going to do... Read more

March was a pretty quiet month for me. I went into my second heat, so, unfortunately, I had to wear these annoying heat pants! Thankfully, we still practiced all my skills every day, which often made me super tired. I’m doing a lot better on the leash too! I also got... Read more
