Tiki II | March 2025

Tiki has had another great month. She’s done an excellent job settling into new environments—even those that are loud and full of distractions. Tiki accompanied me to my wilderness first aid course, where she remained calm and settled despite lots of movement and...

Pandora | March 2025

Hi friends! It’s been a big month for me! I spent some time with my awesome sitter Shaun (we had a blast), but once I got back to my raiser, I decided it was time to spice things up… maybe push a few buttons, test a few boundaries—you know, typical puppy...

DK | March 2025

We were fortunate enough to puppy-sit DK for the month of March. As with all the PADS dogs, he was a pleasure to have over. We went on some sniffari adventures and even got to meet some baby chihuahuas. He seemed very curious about their very small size and was very...

Puzzle | March 2025

Spring is in the air, and Puzzle has a strut in his step – because he is a new PADS DAD! After all the action in February, we needed a quieter, more routine month. We focused on rest during the human workday and daytime kenneling, an easy ask for Puzzle who loves his...

Dior | March 2025

Dior was a busy girl during the month of March, with plenty of downtime in between. The folks at BC Ambulance at SMH gave her plenty of lovin’, which she soaked up without complaint. While her manners were not impeccable, her ‘go say hi’s’ are...

Cava | March 2025

This month was rather restful for Cava. She was still wearing a diaper as she was in heat and could only be at home and go to school. There we enjoyed a few activities while counting down to spring break. During spring break she enjoyed two weeks of change of pace...

Mushu | March 2025

This month started out a bit quietly for me while I recovered from a bout of growing pains. I enjoyed some rest time at home, getting spoiled by my family and brushing up on some skills in the garden. I felt better pretty quickly and headed out for grocery shopping...

Tesla | March 2025

I settled into my new raiser’s home beautifully, and everyone adores me. We had a quiet start to the month as I went into heat! Once that was done, we sprang into action with field trips to the Vancouver Art Gallery, my favourite was the Emily Carr exhibit, all...

It’s been a few months since we last posted. Draco is now 80lbs. We have been busy exploring the city and enjoying the blossoms. We saw snow for the first time and went on a ferry for the first time. Though I’m not so sure he knew that was a boat he hopped...

Giorgio | March 2025

Happy spring everyone, at least we hope it’s spring. For the most part of March, I was at a sitter’s home. It was so much fun. There were 3 other dogs living in the home too, I had a blast!!! I was also taught some manners by my doggie friends, and I learned that...

Calvin | March 2025

This March, Calvin spent a lot of time with his PADS friends while wearing his cape, which means he couldn’t play freely unless we “released” him to join in. It was challenging at first to keep him focused, but he gradually learned how to interact calmly and neutrally...

Zoe | March 2025

I am very graceful, as you can see, I stepped up – upon the blue dots – and didn’t even pee! I’m good at parkour, or so I am told it takes me up high and over the… I dunno, I’m not a poet,… I’m a DOG. And I’m pretty – and still a “sweet” says...

Sparrow | March 2025

Sparrow is the most perfect dog we’ve ever met.  Her only kryptonite is other dogs because she loves them so much, and now she has PADS Teenie as a roommate, so she’s very happy.  Sparrow is very gentle, but Teenie plays hard, so Sparrow gets very tired!  Sparrow has...

Marni | March 2025
