Lumina | January 2025

Digger | January 2025

Hi Everybody, Well, January was really slow: no warm baking smells, no lights, no big guy in a red suit and no more presents for me. It’s been pretty mild here in the Okanagan, so my people have been taking me out twice a day for recall practice. That means they...

Zoe | January 2025

January ‘25 Pupdate by Zoe’s perspective; This “January” month is…first I’ve heard of it. I like it. I went with Charly to massage therapy a few times. She tucks me in the kennel, gives me a dog sickle, and then I drift off to this soft music. In mid-January, I...

Gem II | January 2025

This month, I started going on lots of off-leash walks in nearby Pacific Spirit Park! It’s so great to live near such a beautiful forest where I can run free. Well, it’s not entirely free – it’s really good practice for my recall. That was a...

Roku | January 2025

Kiyoko | January 2025

Daytime temperatures in January were mild, hovering around zero to 5 Celcius, with not much snow either, which suited us just fine since we were living between two houses and had to shovel both driveways. We finally finished moving into our new house this month....

Patty | January 2025

January has been a whirlwind of new sights, sounds, and tail wags. Our condo transformed into a mini construction zone with workers and loud tools galore. Patty happily welcomed them all and snored away in the kennel, even through all the loud noises. She also enjoyed...

Buddy II | January 2025

Hi Everypawdy! This new year has been pawsome so far! I’ve been training hard to settle on hard floors without my comfy mat. Gotta be honest—it’s not the squishiest spot, but I’m managing! At first, I made sure my hoomans knew how ruff it was by sighing...
