I have been a regular at orchestra practice this month โ€“ I don’t really like the noisier pieces, especially those with the high notes, but Iโ€™m doing okay. The players seem to like seeing me there, and my raiser keeps me busy with peanut butter benebones, which I LOVE.

I had a few outings with long car rides this month โ€“ one to the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve and one to an office in Ladner. Iโ€™m really good about waiting in the hatchback with the door open until my raiser cues me with โ€œoutโ€, which makes her really happy.

With the nice weather at the end of the month, I had a lovely walk along Wreck Beach and even went for a short swim in the ocean with my pal Marvel.

Halloween was great this year without the fireworks noise โ€“ and I got lots of practice going to my bed when the doorbell rang.

I am going for my temperament evaluation this week โ€“ I wonder what that will be like!
