Sooooo, somewhere along the line my mama missed the memo that said she was supposed to send in updates about me!!Β Donβt be too hard on her, Iβm her first pup, and I do keep her busy!Β Anyway, I thought Iβd take on this job and get it done β after all, I am a service dog-in training!!Β Might as well start now!!Β My name is Tansy, and Iβm almost 16 months old.Β Iβve been working with my mama MJ since last October when I came up to P.A.D.S. with my sister Aster.Β I go to university and Iβm learning a bunch, well, actually, I usually sleep through classesβ¦good thing she writes the tests and not me!!
Iβve learned so much in the last year, and I think Iβm pretty smart.Β Earlier this year I wasnβt so smart, and I ate something I wasnβt supposed to and had to have surgery.Β My mama was pretty upset and worried, but I pulled through just fine, and now Iβm all good!!Β I still like to go get things for people, but Iβm learning to give them back sooner now, and that seems to make everybody really happy.Β
I got to go to Calgary this month and meet some other PADS people out there, which was fun, and I was really good on the drive out and back! Β Mama will be starting school again soon, but I wonβt be going with her at first.Β She tells me Iβm in heat β whatever that means β and I canβt go anywhere with her right now!!Β So Iβm stuck at home most of the time, and I have to wear pants, and Iβm not too happy about any of it!Β I should be back at work in a few weeks, and I canβt wait!!Β Iβll try to keep things up to date if theyβll let me on the computer from time to time!!!Β
