fall has arrived

Each one of the A Dog's Way walks were filled with smiles and put everyone, including the pups and I, in a great mood. The leaves have started to cover each path we walked along today. All the pups enjoyed!

At the Creek.. the pups trekked through the muddy trails. Pablo, Salvador and Harley were especially careful veering around the mud puddles, keeping their paws as clean as possible. Molly, Argus and Baxter dove right in, happy to take a dip in the water and taking off through the trails.
At High Park.. the pups were racing after squirrels, happily chasing them up trees. Olive was Miss Social, stopping to play with every dog along the way. Harry was more wild than ever.. he felt the sand under his feet and went nutty. People stopped to watch. Belle and Ben chased each other around through the grassy areas while Dutch looked on sitting in a cushioned dirt patch.

calm after the storm

Bapsi was the lady amongst the boys, Duncan and Watson. She didn't like the rain.. especially getting her bows wet. Duncan and Watson trooped it out and found many spots to sniff. Bailey and I got the brunt of the rain.. we were downpoured on. Poor Bailey! I made sure he was towel dried and left in a cozy sweater.
The sun came out on the ride to pick up Belle, Rocky, Ben, Olive and Argus. In lieu of the sun shining above the lake, we headed to Humber Bay Shores for a stroll. The pups were on their best behaviour and got lots of compliments.
Otto, Harry, Jake and Harley stopped in to relieve themselves at the Colonel Samuel offleash area before heading to the trails. The water was calm and the colours were picturesque. Fall has arrived! Harry got some wild in him and was showing off to a set of wildlife photographers... he showed them some wild. Otto, Jake and Harley stayed out of dane danger. Dixie was filled with excitement and wanted some backyard play. She finally took her focus off Jake and took a wee.

Welcome Argus!

A Dog's Way welcomed Argus to the pack. He joined Abby, Pablo, Salvador, Baxter and Jake at the Etobicoke Creek. After a few sniffs he was ready to go. The pups dashed through the trails and took part in fetch with the best sticks we could find in the forrest area.
At High Park.. Molly, Ben, Olive, Belle and Dutch were very friendly and excited to meet other pooches on their walks. The gang flew down the trails after one another, even Dutch picked up the pace when they got close.
Bapsi and Watson braved the rain and took care of business.

Sun Shiny Day!

It was like a hot summer day today! The pack couldn't have been more excited to go for a walk! The pups chased and raced each other all around High Park and Etobicoke Creek. Each pup was sniffing at the new smells of fall.

lakeside all day

Bapsi started the day off by the lake. She strolled around and strutted her new 'do...she looks adorable!
Next, Belle, Olive, Ben and Rocky headed to sunnyside to trek down the boardwalk. Our walk was filled with many sights.. the pups preferred the geese, ducks and swans.
Baxter, Otto, Harry, Harley and Brady headed to Humber Bay Shores and walked the trails along the lake.  We all thought... we live in a great city!
Watson took a lap lakeside before heading in.. ready for an afternoon nap.
Hunter and Dante finished the day off. They got lots of attention from the school kids as we walked the blocks.

Happy 2nd Birthday to Brady!!

Bapsi and Duncan headed in opposite directions following their noses. It was a sunny start to a great day of walks. Brady enjoyed walks all day long in lieu of his special day. He started at the Creek with Harry, Harley, Watson, Pablo and Salvador. It was quite a sight with the little pups and Harry the giant. Brady played fetch while the others made adventures of their own. Brady then joined Olive, Ben, Belle, Dutch and Molly at High Park for an afternoon trek through the trails. Brady and Olive went boston wild and had all the pups in play. On the way home, he was passed out from all his happy trails.

lovely day.

Harry, Otto, Belle, Olive, Ben and Rocky had a great time at High Park. The pack was full of energy and we kept moving along the trails and Spring Road.  
Dante took the place of Casey next to Hunter on the walk today. The duo kept at a good pace and took in the sunshine.

a case of the monday crazies

Bapsi and Watson enjoyed their morning stroll with the sun beaming down on us. Both encountered a young pup that wanted to play...neither wanted anything to do with him.
Abby, Harley, Pablo, Salvador, Baxter and Brady headed to the creek for the noon hour. Abby and Baxter took a quick snack break and grabbed an apple that had fallen from the tree. Brady and Harley took turns fetching.. all the pups joined in the chase once I started to throw numerous sticks. Salvador let me know when a burr had attacked him and Pablo kept at the back of the pack, out of the charging way.
Belle was the center of attention today at High Park. Ben, Olive, Abby, Molly and herself took off at full speeds up and down the path after one another. All had a case of the crazies. Dutch slowly wandered behind staying far from the chaos.

fall is in the air..

Clancy, Harley, Pablo, Salvador, Baxter and Otto headed to the Creek this morning. The heavy rainfall from yesterday made for some muddy pups. Clancy, Salvador and Baxter dug right in and were in their glory running through the trails. Harley, Pablo and Otto keep their paws dry, as best they could.
Belle, Olive, Ben, Rocky and Dutch headed to High Park this afternoon. The crisp fall was in the air. Belle, Olive and Ben went full blast to the point of almost taking me and Rocky off our feet. Rocky and Dutch put the calm on the bunch after that.

lucky us!

The rain spared us today. On the way to the creek, it was pouring! When we arrived, the rain slowed.. and throughout our walk, the rain was sparse. As the rain started back up again, the pack piled into the van and had a towel dry session. The pups enjoyed a treat and were ready for an afternoon nap after their ride home.
Hunter and Charlie enjoyed their neighbourhood walk today.. Charlie will be heading to his forever home tomorrow. Casey took it easy today.
Clancy, Watson and Harley headed from an evening stroll, stopping to sniff out their favourite trees.

new pups to the pack

Bapsi and Duncan enjoyed the sunshine, taking in the fresh breeze off of the lake.
The A Dog's Way pack welcomed Pablo and Salvador today. Belle, Olive, Ben and Dutch showed them the 'ropes' at High Park and their favourite trails to explore. Pablo and Salvador enjoyed their first walk with the pack.
Molly, Harry, Clancy and Harley followed along the trails beside the Etobicoke Creek. We walked down the path to Marie Curtis Park. The sights were beautiful and the pups were pooped on the ride home.

had the park all to ourselves

Today, the Etobicoke Creek was ours. The pups and I had the park to ourselves and enjoyed swims, fetch and a good run! The creek was crystal clear and reflected all the picturesque nature nearby.

ready to go..

Bapsi rolled in the grass. Watson was happy to meet new friends. Zok is a gentle soul. Prada let herself be heard. Harley followed suit. Abby was full of play all-day. Belle did her typical hallway carpet roll on the way out. Baxter took off running. Ben dug a hole to lie in. Olive tried to initiate play with all. Molly sunbathed. Dutch took it easy. Jake gave each ball up to the girls. Dixie was full of spunk.

EHS walk-a-thon

Harley, Prada, Zok, Monty and Navigator headed to the walk to show their support. Everybody made stops to pet the pups. Great day!

awesome walk to end the week!

The pups headed to the creek for a fun-filled outing. We ran into a disoriented field mouse that block our path as we walked. The pooches found him first and were ready for chase. I managed to get the pack by without any harm to their furry friend. The creek was clear and the relection of the nature around was breathtaking. Awesome walk to end the week!

checking out the park @ Colonel Samuel

Harry took his friends for an extra long outing to check out his new local dog park at Colonel Samuel. Lots of friends joined us and were happy to see Harry in the daytime. He was full of energy and up to no good, trying to rough play with all people. Gizmo brought his frisbees and balls keeping Belle, Olive and Brady occupied. We went non-stop with fetch the whole time. Ben chased the others around racing back and forth, happy to meet a new friend Junior. Baxter grazed and wandered the perimeters taking in every new scent. When we arrived, the park was ours.. so Rocky got a good run in until visitors came to join us. Then he happily stayed close meeting the newcomers.
Hunter, Casey and Charlie were joined by Harley and Kaya. We went for a walk through the fields where the pups raced around jumping through the grass.

keeping me laughing

Bapsi, Watson and Duncan joined each other out and about by the lake. They were all happy to have each others company. Brady and Olive were happy to finally meet. The bostons played like they do, tearing around after each other. Molly, Ben and I had a moment by the water.. they came close and cuddled next to me, happy to be loved. Belle stormed in wanting a piece, after a dip and dive into the dirt. Dutch watched us on the waters edge from a special spot in the stream.

fresh blue crew

Mocha and Taffy started their day with a neighbourly stroll through the park. Prada, Kaya and Harley took a longer lap. All made their stops to sniff out the scene.
Jake, Belle, Olive, Ben and Rocky tore into the park decked out in their fresh blue bandanas. All the other pups ran towards us to meet.

Labour Day Monday

Baxter and Ben joined Prada, Lincoln and Harley at High Park. When we arrived, the rain was upon us. By the time were leaving, the sun was out. Ben was less than impressed with the rain and snowbirds..  he could've done without. Baxter seemed unphased and trooped it out.

torrential rain pour

Otto, Baxter, Rocky, Dutch, Belle and I were at High Park at the peak of the rain storm today. We tried to find shelter under a big tree from the rain, but that did no good! The dogs and I got soaked from head to paws. Finally, when the thunder started we leashed up and made a run for the car. The weather today made for a very, very wet ride home. All we could do, was 'shake it off'.

see ya to Milo, for now

Bapsi and Watson couldn't wait to get outside to relieve themselves. Belle, Olive, Ben and Rocky joined Milo for his last walk with the pack for awhile. We spent extra time on our outing and enjoyed breathing in the refreshing breeze off the lake. The pups went for a swim to cool off. Harry, Otto, Baxter, Zok, Hero and Harley were joined by Lincoln at the Creek. The group headed to the water where Hero and Lincoln splashed around taking turns with a tennis ball. Otto and Harley hung out on the sidelines.. Otto chased another pup as he ran back and forth behind the group. Baxter wandered the bushes going in and out of the water. Harry hung out on the shore, going into the creek then into the bushes. He was happy to see Lincoln and the two took time out to 'ruff' around a bit.

what a wonderful way to spend the afternoon

Molly, Belle, Olive, Dutch, Hero and Harley headed to the creek for an afternoon swim. The creek was refreshing to splash into. Belle, Olive and Hero were interested in rocks that were being thrown into the water...it was a good constant game of fetch. Molly found a perfect spot under a big tree, while Dutch positioned himself on a rock in the creek, both perfect ways to keep cool. Harley floated around on shore.
