A happy 1st birthday for Patty and the rest of her A&W siblings! July was a fun month once this girl was allowed public access again after her heat. She attended the volunteer BBQ on campus, which was difficult, as so many dogs to play with and delicious smells in the air. A few days later, she met up with some of her siblings for a birthday picnic. Lots of fun running around the dog park, ending with a delicious cupcake. She hopes to see her sisters and brothers more for some forest walks.

In terms of training, we’ve been having lovely improvements with her excitement around other dogs, and she is slowly learning to check in with us when she sees a dog. She continues to have wonderful house manners.
