PADS Bubba II

The human got us lost… so I got an extra long walk🙉🙉 #padsbubbaii #padsdogs #servicedogintraining #assistancedogintraining #pacificspiritpark

The human and I have added something new to our routine! In the morning (or afternoon, depending on what’s going on that day) we take some time and go to the “center” (busiest area, rather) of campus. The human stares at a book and draws on it with a pencil (something called “sudoku”?) while I settle with all the activity going on around me☀️ Sometimes it’s a challenge, especially when there are other dogs walking around, but other times I make her so proud! Today the “center” was even busier with food trucks and small business stands all around but I kept my cool, even when another labrador walked by😱 Afterwards I stayed focus on the human while we walked around looking at all the stands, offered a few lovely go-in’s everytime she sat down (and one time under a table that she didn’t ask for, but was happy to see anyways) and got tons of compliments along the way (yay to people who speak to the human and not to me!!🥳) If you’ve read this far, you’re my favourite (don’t tell the others)💚 #padsbubbaii #padsdogs #servicedogintraining #assistancedogintraining

First class of summer term done and I rocked it😌 The class was scheduled to be 3 hours (🫩) but we were told classes would only ever be 1.5 hours maximum, score! I’d be willing to bet no one even knew I was there, we got there early, I did a lovely “go in”, and slept for the whole class (do I really need to know sport psychology??) #padsbubbaii #padsdogs #servicedogintraining

Post trail walk pictures with Casper🙉 Summer term classes start tomorrow which means I’ll be back in lecture halls and study rooms! Summer seems fun so far😌 #padsbubbaii #padscasper #padsdogs

Just this picture, nothing else🤓

Some Bubba (or human?) pov from paddle boarding yesterday👀 Plus a lovely surprise at the end🤫

Yesterday I tried something new!🌊 The human and I went paddle boarding😱 I was sooo brave and excited, the human hadn’t even stepped on the board and I was already jumping on and finding my balance. Plus I very eagerly went in the water (maybe I’m finally turning into a true Lab) a stark contrast to just a few weeks ago. I went with Casper, Taj, and Max! What a cool life I get to live!

We heard lots of music around campus today🎶 Perfect day to see how I felt about some louder noises and of course I didn’t mind and just listened very politely! #padsbubbaii #padsdogs

Went on the funnest, longest trail walk with my friends today🎉 I’m definitely the odd one out but that never stops me from pushing myself into the pup group🤷‍♀️ #padsbubbaii #padsstellar #padscasper #tajybear #padsdogs

Swipe to travel back in time🕰️ I may never catch up to Tajy but it’s not as jarring of a difference now🙂‍↕️ #padsbubbaii #padsdogs #tajybear

I decided today was the day I wouldn’t be afraid of water anymore🌊 When we first got there I just watched Taj go swimming but once the humans got in I was all in and my fear was gone😱 I still didn’t go in just to go in but I was happily following the humans and my dog friends! #padsbubbaii #padsdogs #tajybear

Another day means more beautiful views to hunt for😍 This time I did so with my friend Grace! She hasn’t been seen on this account yet but she looks exactly like her sister who has been, Serenity!! Grace doesn’t like playing as much as Serenity but we were pretty happy to walk side by side🌳 #padsbubbaii #padsgraceii #padsdogs #servicedogintraining
