play time

Otto, Baxter, Belle, Olive, Dutch and Rocky stayed together as a pack while walking through High Park. We all were close while visiting the trails, Spring Road and dog hill.
Back at camp, Abby, Cookie and Cape tore it up! They were full of play..the pups went nuts!! Bailey joined the pack, and the play continued. Good times!

over the last couple of days...

Bapsi has taken her time on her walks enjoying the summer air while away from the new addition.. beautiful baby, Marcus. Buddy and Sammy joined the crew early this week so they could head up north for the weekend. Harry found a new 'spot' to roll in and proudly displayed his work of art at the rock beach. Olive starts her fun when she jumps into the A Dog's Way mobile. She tries to initiate play on route. Baxter is a programmed scavenger. He makes sure to scan the area as he walks. Dutch loves off leash walks, he sets his own pace from the pack. Jake got a break from new puppy, Dixie... he swam til his hearts content and found a huge stick that he was set on bringing home with him. Jake ran into problems because the stick was too large to take through the forrest on the trail back. Belle made every effort to swim in the lake today. She was determined to get us all in for a swim. Ben took off racing each time he arrived at the park, ready for summertime fun. Rocky has come a long way with strangers. He received a pat this week from others at the park. Milo couldn't wait for his walk today. He kept trying to get started without the rest of the pack being ready. Otto acts as my shadow while on our walks. I always know he is just right behind. Lovely pups!

relaxed pups

As I type, the pups are sprawled out around my feet. Each has a comfy spot enjoying the fresh air or sunshine. Baxter, Belle and Ben came to join the pack at Camp A Dog's Way for a few hours before heading out for their walk. The pups were entertained with balls, toys and the splash pool. They look forward to a stroll follwed by a late afternoon nap.

not just dog

Otto, Baxter, Belle, Rocky and Milo took the scenic route through High Park. We walked along in the zoo during our travels. Belle's favourite were the llamas, while the yaks surprised Rocky and Baxter. Otto enjoyed watching the birds around the pens. Milo kept the pack moving and took us through random trails.

great mood pups

All day, the pups kept me in a great mood. Each one made their special impact on my day. How awesome!

a dog's day

Today, we spent a couple of hours at the Etobicoke Creek. It was a perfect day to hang out by the water. The pups and I were having such an enjoyable afternoon, none of us wanted to leave. Splashes, cuddles and basking...the pooches were in pet bliss.

pup fest

Today, Bapsi took her time and guided me for our walk.
Buddy, Sammy, Rocky, Belle, Ben and Olive took a walk in High Park. As soon as we arrived at the park, Ben, Belle, and Olive took off into the long grass to take care of business. Sammy felt most comfortable close to her pal, Buddy. He seemed to do his own thing, making sure to check in with her every now and again. Rocky went for a dip when we hit the water on Spring Road, he was happy to cool his paws off. After a good romp, we headed back to dog hill where Olive found another puppy to frolick with in the dirt.
Kaya, Jake, Misha, Harry, Otto and Dutch took it easy by the Creek. Jake swam til his hearts content while Misha raced in circles releasing her energy. The others watched from the sidelines making their way for a dip in the water or cool off under a tree.

pretty in pink

Olive showed up today pretty in pink. She joined the pack at High Park where Molly, Ben, Belle and her tore around. Baxter wandered the trails, investigating all the smells.

friendly friday

Everyone stopped to chat about the pooches today. Otto, Baxter, Olive, Belle and Rocky got attention at High Park. Gator, Misha, Zok, Cookie, Dutch and Harley turned heads on the street. They made lots of friends!

good dog!

Casey took her time on the walk this morning while Charlie stopped and did his 'potty dance' each time he stopped for a #1 or #2. Hunter waited patiently for us to return so he could enjoy his full body scratch, especially his belly.

Bapsi went for a quick walk excited to get back to her breakfast. Bailey took his time using all of his senses during his walk. He smelled his favourite spots, stared into the lake and touched the nature around him.
Belle didn't want anything else but to be water-bound today by the lake. She made every attempt to get the pack into Lake Ontario. Olive held her own with the other larger pups while on the stroll. Ben, Rocky and Milo played musical orientations as we walked along the boardwalk.
Dutch was picked up for his visit at Camp A Dog's Way and joined Harrry, Otto and Baxter for their trek. The pack had many different encounters while out.
Back at the fort...Cookie, Misha, Zok and Harley geared up for their highly anticipated afternoon stroll. They worked up an appetite and indulged in their dinner.

summer fun

High Park was filled lots of summer fun for the pups...time for swimming, playing in the dirt and walk along the trails. Olive does a great job of recruiting pups as honourary pack members for the day. She just loves to play. Belle stayed out of the dirt today...she kept clean for the whole walk. Baxter, Molly, Ben and Dutch stayed close and enjoyed the trek through the park.

hot hot heat

Casey and Charlie started their days off on the right paw. They enjoyed their morning stroll and fresh air.
Watson was happy to see Bapsi for a rendevous oh the dog walk.
Rocky, Belle, Olive, Ben, Otto and Harry took their walk to Colonel Samuel Smith Park. The different scenery was a great change of pace.
Jake joined Cookie, Misha, Zok and Harley for a frolick and walk along the Etobicoke Creek.

calm before the storm

At High Park today, Baxter, Molly, Olive, Ben, Belle and Dutch fit well into the calmness of the park. Each pup had occasional spirts of energy in a peaceful and calm manner. The rain started just as we returned back to the car from our walk...we were all happy for that  :)

cottage fun

Harry, Cookie, Misha and Zok were cottage bound for the weekend. Joined by Harley and Hershey, the pups swam, basked in the sunshine, cooled off in the shade and took in the fresh air off the lake. The pack had a relaxing and refreshing weekend up north. The pooches were pooped when we got back home.

rain day

Jake, Otto, Baxter, Belle, Rocky, Dutch and I braved the rain and splashed around in puddles. By the end of our walk through High Park, the rain had stopped. The pack checked out the newly revamped trails and approved   :)
Zok, Misha and Harley took a tour through the 'hood, stopping for errands along the way.

lake day

The A Dog's Way pack aimed to stay close to the lake every chance we could. After Casey and Charlie's morning outing, we made sure all our efforts were to keep cool. Ben, Belle, Rocky and Milo headed lakeside along the boardwalk catching a breeze. We all took a dip in the lake, despite Belle's efforts to get us all in for a swim. Ben stayed right at shore, while Rocky and Milo cooled their paws off. Baxter, Harry and Otto headed down to a different spot along the lake. We made many water stops and took the time to enjoy an extra special treat. Despite the heat, the pups were happy  :)
Zok, Misha, Watson and Harley are getting geared up to check things out around the neighbourhood.

another hot one..

Lincoln, our german shepherd friend, joined our pack today at High Park. Olive was happy to meet Lincoln while the rest of the gang, Molly, Ben, Belle and Dutch, thought he was old news. Once we got to Spring Road, the pups were interested in frolicking around with each other.

woof symphony

The pups and I stayed hydrated through the warm weather today. At the creek...Ben, Jake, Olive and Belle hit the water and found the perfect stick that each of them wanted. They took turns creating a woof symphony. Harry found his 'special spot' from the other day to continue his roll around. Afterwards, the pack and I smelt him coming. Otto dipped his feet in the water as he hung out beside me. We played with the other pooches, enjoying their splashes. Rocky went offleash today...he was perfectly happy to meet other people and their pooches.
Hunter stayed in while Casey and Charlie braved the heat. They went for a lap around the neighbourhood and returned back home to Hunter.

hot diggity dogs

Today was a hot one!! The A Dog's Way pack welcomed Olive, a boston terrier pup, with wagging tails. She was thrilled to meet her new friends. At High Park, she kept the others running. Ben, Belle and Molly excitedly chased her around and through the water..keeping cool. Dutch hung out in the shade and took it wasy today. Baxter kept close to the pack but wandered through the tall grassy areas.
Katie, Zok and Harley are getting geared up to head out for an early evening stroll.

woof

Prada, Harley, Keisha, Baxter, Rocky and Dutch headed to High Park for an everyday getaway. They kicked up the sand at dog hill, socializing with fellow park pups. We headed to Spring Road where the pups took a dip in the water where they made a splash.

Happy Canada Day!!!

pups enjoyed great walks, sunshine and fresh air all day long   :)

happy trails

Bapsi enjoyed her walk by the lake. She enjoyed marking her territory along the way. Boucle was happy to have a visitor...he was all wagging tail.
The walk was incredible at High Park. All pups were on an adventure of their own and had happy faces on.
Bailey was interested in smelling the scents along his way.
