August slipped away really quickly – well, that’s how raised human feels.
I started August in Calgary and spent time with a wonderful Calgary sitter and a bunch of fun PADS friends. Then when human was back, we packed up the car and headed on a road trip – only to end up needing rescue an hour out of Calgary, so our plans changed.
We returned to Vancouver, and the human and I went on some walks and adventures before I was off to visit my favourite sitter human, for a weekend.
I also went on my first backpacking trip this August, and we slept in a fire lookout. I handled this new environment super well, even the really steep ladder stairs and high-up walkways. I was a very confident girl.
Overall, human is very proud of how well I am doing, and she can’t wait to see where I go next.
