March was a fun month with some wacky weather. We had several days of bright sunshine interspersed with pouring rain and even some late snow. My raiser is glad that I’m not bothered by much because every time we walked out the door was a surprise.

I’m still a teenager, but mum says I’m starting to show some definite signs of maturity. I attended my last hockey game of the season, went to a busy trade show, and practiced my manners in a bunch of other busy places.

At puppy class, we have been working hard on dog and people distractions. I still get really excited at first, but then I remember myself. We had a 2-on-1 class at the park over Spring Break, and my classmate PADS Tide and I worked hard, focusing around each other and all the other outdoor distractions.

Mum says next month we might be able to start getting the garden ready, although apparently I’m not supposed to dig in the dirt…

Wags!
