Happy New Year Everybody!

January kicked off with a cold snap, and Mum bought me these funny things to wear on my feet. I wasn’t the biggest fan at first, but once I realized they kept my toes warm so I could bounce in the snow, I was very happy!

This month, I turned 16 months old and had to get my big boy vaccines to keep me healthy. The nice vet said I was in great shape and gave me lots of love (and treats) for being a good boy.

Once the weather warmed up a bit, Uncle Tiller and I took full advantage of playing in the snow. One of our lovely sitters even took me snowshoeing for the day, and I had a blast!

The big highlight of the month was attending a presentation for PADS at Predator Ridge. Some of my classmates and I were in attendance to answer questions and spread puppy love. After that, a few of the raisers went for dinner, and we pups settled nicely under the table (I even managed to sleep, which made Mum very impressed).

I wrapped up the month with another one of our amazing Okanagan puppy sitters. It’s good for us pups to experience different lifestyles during puppy raising so we can go with the flow. My sitter took me to an office job, which I don’t normally do, and reports that I was my usual charming and well behaved self. YAY!
