Valentino is learning and growingย aย lot, and in Collar number 2 but still in his small vest.ย Tino has been busy attending PADS fundraising events in downtown Calgary, at justย 4ย months for the first one, and he was trulyย amazing.ย Inundatedย with people nonstop, butย heย practiced polite greetings with a few tummy rubs thrown in for 2 hours straight.ย A very proud puppyย Muma, as I was again at Petfest, where he was a superstar for 3 hrs straight and one pee break.ย ย ย
We have encountered some new experiences on loose leashย walks,ย with squirrels, big crows and today, rabbits.ย ย Heย certainlyย showed an interest but did not attempt to chase them. Heย was askedย to leave it, and then he sat, and we just watched them.ย ย Noย guarantee he wouldnโt chase had he been off leash, but thatโs a learning curve if and when it happens.
Tino is quite the helper around the house with laundry, especially bringing us TV remotes.ย He likes to leash walk our other dogs and sometimes himself, but this I have been disallowing for some time, itย was cuteย though.
Tino visited a school, the Childrenโs Hospital,ย and 911 dispatch, all in all. April has been a whirlwind of spreading puppy love and raising awareness of PADS.ย Finally, with busy days of training and visits, I am rewarded with the best puppy hugs and snugs.ย He really is the best boy ever, with eyes to die for.
