August was AWESOME!

I got my first sleepover at a puppy sitter’s house! Β My trainer was a bit nervous, but I was in good hands! Β Georganne, Anne and Verdot were great hosts for me and taught me all kinds of things. Β They helped me to get over my hesitation in getting into cars and they also took me to be in the 2015 Vancouver Pride Parade. Β I got to be on TV!

I got to visit a Children’s Centre and show the kids in the programme all my neat tricks and taught them how to act around a PADS Service Dog in training. Β It was hard work! They did well, but I fell asleep.

Lucky me! Β I got to have another sleepover this month! Β This time it wasΒ with Banff. Β We had a great time on hikes and off-leash parks. Β She showed me how to come back when called. I love my sleepovers!
