December has been busy! We had a couple of special classes with a holiday theme, where we played some new βgamesβ β it was really fun but challenging. It gave me some good practice at ignoring interesting things on the ground and walking on a loose leash. These are two things that I can always use more practice with! Iβm also working on spending more time in my kennel, which is going well.
I had another great beach day this month with lots of running and playing in the waves. Even though the weather has been quite mild this month, I love being warm and snuggly. My doggie companion Marvel is great for this – both at home and on the road.
And of course, there have been lots of Christmas photo ops this month β at Canada Place, at home, at dog class with the other PADS puppies, to name a few. On the home front, my raiser was very impressed that, after a few initial sniffs, I didnβt try to dismantle the tree or destroy any of the ornaments β although I did find a ribbon on one of the presents under the tree particularly enticing.
My raiser found out that I will get neutered next month but Iβm not going to think about that right now!
