A is for April, Apples, Arenas, Adventures, Airplanes, Adolescence, and . . .
Puzzle attended his first professional hockey game, after a long drive to Abbotsford. He didn’t seem very interested in the game or the noise. He was a little startled when the horn blew for each goal, but he knew that the human would have treats ready. The most interesting thing for him and the biggest challenge for the humans was popcorn on the floor.
He loves off-leash adventures with his best buddy, PADS Huckle. They compete to find the best sticks but unite to find good hiding spots to scare the humans! He also enjoys quieter walks, and exploring the environment and different neighbourhoods. One such walk was at an outdoor mall close to the airport, right under the flight path for landing airplanes. For a few minutes, he was very curious about the loud roars that would seemingly come out of nowhere, but once he knew we were safe, he went about his sniffing.
Adolescence, it had to happen, Puzzle turned teenager! He is still quite chill, but testing his boundaries. The humans had to hide important documents; he was finding them even buried under less-important things. We fight for the remote control, maybe because he does not like Hallmark movies. We can only agree to watch Lego Masters Australia. As if he feels bad for being cheeky, he tries to make up for it with cuddles.
Even the humble apple was a big deal this month. One of our new, daily training exercises was to add a treat to mealtime. He has been trying new fruits and vegetables but likes pome fruits the best.
