April was a busy month of activities!!
It started off with me coming backΒ from my puppyΒ swapΒ where I hadΒ an amazingΒ time!!Β ThenΒ IΒ helped welcome Golly and Bazinga to my North Shore community and Brava to my Campus Canines UBC community. I guess IΒ am going toΒ have a lot of mentoring to do in the next little while. Good thing I have lots of patience!
ThisΒ was my last month going to UBC classes for theΒ semesterΒ so I got to do a photoshoot for the school newspaper with my buddy Casper! I have been working on my sit duration just for the purpose of photo taking (haha). I got to end the semester withΒ a very funΒ beach romp with Casper and my puppy class furrendΒ Dahlia! We were lucky to be at the beach during a very, very, very low tide, so we took advantage and ran and ran and ran where we had never been able to before! The sand was so soft andΒ coolΒ on my toe beans!
I got to attend two PADS events this month. The first one was the BC Distilled Event.Β IΒ got to spendΒ the day with amazing vendors andΒ talkΒ to the guests about how PADS dogs change lives.Β What was most exciting about this event was that IΒ got to meetΒ one of my PADS idolsΒ AFDΒ Justice Facility Dog Puma! She told me about her job,Β and itΒ made me even more excited to become a working dog one day. She showed me her Puma paw cross, but I couldnβt quite get the hang of it. The second event IΒ got to go toΒ was the Paddles for PADS Pickleball Event.Β MyΒ bestieΒ Orion and I headed up to Squamish to support the playersΒ andΒ we were welcomed by such a wonderful community.Β They gave us lots of love, and we got to learn about the game of pickleball!Β
At the end of the month, I got to attend my hoomanβs cousinβs glow bowling party! I was good at holding the balls so they didnβt run awayΒ butΒ I didnβt quite understand how to get it to roll so far. I think this may be a game you need fingers for! One last adventure of the month wasΒ getting to exploreΒ the Harrison Tulip Festival with Casper. The flowers smelt very lovelyΒ butΒ we were not allowed to eat them and had to be careful not to step on them or wag our tails too hard! IΒ am hopingΒ for more summery weather next month so the hooman can stop making me wear my boots and rain jacket!
