This March, Russell turned aย fullย year old!ย 

For most of March, Russell stayed with a sitter in downtown Vancouver. I had previously sat Russell in October, and it was such a treat to sit him again.ย 

Russell showed off his incredible LLW while walkingย downtownย where we spent the day working for the BC Gov. Russell was beloved the first time he came around the office, and this time was no different. He relished the love and attention he received. Despite this, he was always able to settle well during the workday.ย 

Russell continues to beย curious,ย and really playful and affectionate. He is smart, a problem solver, andย isย largelyย a very happyย pup. However, he has SO much energy that he has learned slowly to self-regulate better and better.ย 

Russell also accomplished a milestone and was neutered during our sit. Everything went well!ย The five days of Russell on pain medicationsย turned out to beย the most sweet andย wonderfulย version of him ever.ย 

ย Russell excelled at public outings, and he went to the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra three times without any issues and rode well on transit.
