The A Dog's Way pack wishes you a Happy New Year! All the best in 2011.

drizzly day

Harry, Belle. Otto, Lily, Darby and Emma entered the Etobicoke Creek full of energy. The pups went their separate ways to take care of 'business'. Muskoka met a friend in the field and romped around with him. She was happy to have the company. Hunter & Dante went for a long walk through their 'hood. They enjoyed the warmer weather!

trio of trouble

Sasha, Darby, Lily, Harry, Abby and Harley headed for a neighbourhood stroll making a errand stop to the bank. They all received lots of attention and got a special treat while visiting. Muskoka chased Abby around the fields, exhausting herself getting ready for a nap. We had an eventful and extra long walk at High Park. The trio of yellow labs.. Belle, Abby and Joey tore around the park getting into many 'adventures'. The triplets were stopped by many along the trails. Argus and Dutch joined the trio with bursts of energy ready for a chase. After almost 4 hours at the park, the pups sprawled out on the ride home.

frozen creek

Argus, Joey, Otto, Cookie, Darby and Lily made their own journeys through the creek. Each took turns playing with each other while walking through the trails.

post-holiday bellies

Joey and Dutch joined Cookie, Lily, Sasha and Darby at High Park. We had the company of another pack and met lots of new dogs on our way. We took our time through the trails full with our post-holiday bellies.

Merry Christmas!!

Cookie, Harry, Ursus, Eiger, Lily, Sasha and Harley headed up north to wander and venture in acres of land covered in snow. All were very happy!! The pups enjoyed the special treats and new toys that Santa had left... all making sure to stay on the 'nice' list.

Merry Christmas Eve

The A Dog's Way pack enjoyed a festive walk!

peaking sun

Otto, Joey, Belle, Ben, Cookie & Lily headed to the Creek for an extra long romp. The pups each had adventures of their own and not one wanted to leave.
Hunter & Dante took their time during our leisurely stroll. The sun began to peak from the overcast skies.

pups of big and small

Our pack consisted of pups of all sizes, from the tiny paws to big paws... all in the same!

Santa Dixie

Belle, Rocky, Ben & Argus went for an extra trek through the creek. The scenery was picturesque and the pups were as happy as can be. At rock beach, I sat on the rocks to be close for pup cuddles. Muskoka found a fresh trail to lap up snow. Joey, Otto, Harry, Jake and Dixie visited with Zok, Cookie, Lily and Harley before heading for out for their walk. The afternoon was calm and all pups were on their best behaviour. Dixie was festive in her santas best friend oufit.. she lit up the group! Hunter & Dante went for a long loop through their hood.

Pablo, Salvador, Abby, Cookie, Lily & Harley went for an active romp through the creek. We took our time and visited all trails throughout. Muskoka chased around Abby through the field.. the two were full of play. Argus, Molly, Ben, Belle, Dutch and Abby took to the trails at High Park. Our walk was filled with lots of fun and frolicks. Bapsi headed to the groomers, for a new Christmas 'do.

and then there was one..

Pablo, Salvador and Harley toughed out the colder weather and enjoyed an active walk through the Etobicoke Creek. Tula & Cookie became great playmates after a morning full of playful romps and a 'meet & greet' at the park. Otto, Argus, Belle, Rocky and Dutch went to High Park for a peaceful walk through the trails and along Spring Road. Despite our efforts, Dutch finished the walk with one booty left on. One even became the object of chase for Belle and Argus. Otto & Rocky stayed closeby... Otto as my shadow and Rocky by my side.

there's the sun!

Argus, Molly, Ben, Belle & Dutch trekked through the snow at High Park. Argus, Ben & Belle were a trio of chase. Molly joined in at her leisure. Everyone knows Dutch! He is well known at all our local parks. Today, he sported his new boots.. even managed to keep 2 on for the whole walk.
Muskoka ran through the snow with her mouth wide open. Her legs are longer & stronger than ever and are keeping her moving.
Joey, Harry, Jake, Dixie, Cookie and Cadbury took a tour through the creek. We met another energy-filled pack and the pups tore around. Joey & Cookie stayed close to one another, turning to each other for a romp here and there. Harry leaned on the humans that we passed by at the park. Jake found a log that he insisted someone throw and carried it through the park for our whole walk. I thought he was going to bring it home. Dixie went from group to group bouncing around as she visited.

snow day!!

What a winter wonderland today was! Cookie & Cadbury began the day by frolicking in the freshly fallen snow. Harley was content to stay inside and watch them from his cozy spot.
Hunter, Casey, Dante & Gwen headed out for a 'business break' and to stretch their legs. Gwen & Casey headed inside early waiting for cuddle time with me. Hunter & Dante stayed to scout the yard, making sure to smell every corner. We all went inside and snuggled together to warm up. Even Hunter the cat, came for a cuddle.
Cookie & Cadbury took their wild energy and entertained Argus, Ben, Belle & Rocky at the creek. The pups tore around in the piles of snow, as the sheets of snowflakes fell around us. The group welcomed Belle back with open paws from her vacay. Ben & Argus chased her around.. Belle fell to the ground loving all the attention.
The snow was falling heavily, so we took our time from walk to walk. Muskoka couldn't be happier with all the snow! She lapped it up, making a trail ahead of her as she walked. She was full of energy and walked at a quick pace through the fields.
Bailey wasn't quite impressed with the falling snow, but he made his rounds stopping at his favourite trees along the way. Bapsi and Duncan were sweaters deep in snow. Their two bellies made tracks as they walked. Each dove face first into the white blanketed ground.
Harry, Joey, Otto, Jake & Dixie headed to Camp A Dog's Way for a romp in the yard. They all got out their sillies and took care of business before heading for a walk at a nearby park. Dixie was very playful trying to make friends with Otto.. Otto set her straight with his 'play rules'. Joey and Cookie were great playmates. They danced around in the snow. Jake played an intense game of fetch, while Harry watched for birds & squirrels.

brrrr...cold day!!

The weather was bitter today but didn't seem to stop Abby, Dutch, Ben, Molly, Argus, Muskoka, Cookie or Cadbury. The pups were full of energy and played freely, happy as can be. Harley and Bailey did not care for the cold weather at all. Both were happy when they returned home to a warm, comfy spot.

Attention pups!

This morning.. Harley, Cookie and Cadbury headed down to the Beach to enjoy a change of scenery. After our walk, we visited the Distellery District to attend Lowe's Toronto Christmas Market. The pooches were on their best behaviour and turned heads the whole time.

that's a wrap!

The A Dog's Way pack were adventurous and all enjoyed walks in their own way.

'the dog day is over'

Cookie arrived at Camp A Dog's Way and greeted Prada & Harley with an early morning play. At the Creek.. Joey, Harry, Otto, Buddy and Sammy made their way through the trails. Joey made sure to meet every dog in the park. Harry looked for attention from each passerbyer. Otto got playful when a round of chase grazed by him. He jumped in for the fun! Buddy did his own things while Sammy stayed close to him rolling around in the brush.
Argus, Ben and Rocky jumped in the car joining Cookie, Prada and Harley for a trip to High Park. We tagged along with another pack and each pup found their favourite playmate.

Sweater Weather

Hunter, Casey, Dante, Gwen & Hunter the cat gathered around taking turns for lots of cuddles and attention. It was a great way to kick off the day.
Prada arrived dressed to impress. Her new pink plaid jacket was a hit at the park. Harley, Pablo & Salvador dressed up warmly too before heading to the creek. The tiny pup crew made their way through the creek moving along to keep warm.
Muskoka rolled around in the snow and grass, taking breaks between her full energy spurts.
Harry, Dutch, Molly, Argus & Ben jumped out of the car in all directions looking for their first pee spot. The pups frolicked around with each other while on the move. Each pooch found a twig along our travels, taking it in their mouth to play.
Bapsi & I agreed...our lake walk was bitter!

breezy day

Harley bundled up in layers ready to spend the day with mum & pups.
Argus, Rocky & Ben headed down a new trail near west deane park. Ben's nose was glued to the ground tracing the scents. The gang joined Muskoka for her outing...she sniffed them out following closely behind. She was after Argus's ears trying to get him to play. Rocky kept his distance from puppy.
Watson sported his super retro jacket while Duncan showed off his new cut.
Joey, Otto, Harry, Jake & Dixie headed to the lake. Dixie was excited to meet all of Jake's friends and was on her bestest behaviour. Jake played fetch while the others ran about getting out their crazies. Great fun!!
Hunter & Dante were excited for their walk but stayed calm while we spent time with Casey & Gwen. Brrr...we bundled up well and braved the evening chill.

Winter has arrived...

This morning brought a winter wonderland for the pups. At the Creek... Abby, Pablo and Harley celebrated Salvador's birthday with him. The A Dog's Way pack left a special tasty treat and cupcake plushy toy for Salvador to indulge in. Pablo took the 'dog walker express' at times, to warm up during our walk. Abby was finding all the sticks at the park, encouraging the others to grab an end.
Muskoka had her first real experience with snow this morning, she thought it was the greatest thing ever! Along our walk, she lapped up the snow as she bounced through the field.
Cookie, Molly, Argus, Ben, Dutch and Abby were a happy, cohesive pack through High Park. The energy amongst the group walk was just perfect.. the sun even peaked out in time for us. Cookie and Abby frolicked through the air excitedly playing with one another. Molly went from the groomers to the park today, showing off her freshly cut 'do and still managed to stay clean. Argus picked out the snowballs from his paws along our trek. Dutch took breaks to lie down on the blanketed ground of snow. The perfect pups were full of life and we couldn't have had a better walk.
Bapsi and Watson stayed away from the salt while heading out to dog trail nearby. Bapsi dove face first into the snow while Watson explored the many scents.

furry friends

Pablo, Salvador, Otto, Brady and Harley took their travels to the creek. Brady was full of energy looking for a game of fetch.. he rolled over and was spinning at my feet, encouraging more play. Otto and Harley walked around sniffing out the other pups at the park. Pablo and Salvador tiptoed around the trails, taking special care avoiding muddy paws.
Bailey took me down a different path, changing up our route by the lake. Watson wagged his tail when he saw Bapsi greeting him at the door. Both took it easy while out.
Dutch, Rocky and Argus took their treks to the lake. The afternoon was bright and the scenery was picturesque! The pups and I enjoyed the sights and had a great walk.

lots of pup love

I took time with each pup today, giving out lots of cuddles and pets. It made us all very happy!  :)

just in time, the sun jig at the park brightened the skies

Darby, Nikki & Harley went for an adventurous trek through the neighbourhood. We walked along to the beat of our own drums. Muskoka & I played chased.. she was playful as we ran through the fields. She dropped to the ground, but got bursts of energy for each round. Joey, Brady, Argus, Molly, Ben and Dutch headed to the lake for a romp. The pack exploded out of the car at full speed, most exploring these grounds for the first time. We headed off-leash with the chuck-it in hand. All the pups followed closely as we walked around taking turns with fetching. Brady was on the ball.. he made it first most of the time. Argus took advantage when he got it and played around with it before bringing it back. Ben barked just about the whole time we were out, he had lots to say. He chased Brady and Argus full force. When Dutch got the ball, it was game over! Joey strayed from the pack.. playing fetch with the other pups at the park. Molly chased the others around while eating up my attention. We did a 'sun' jig.. and watched as it peaked from behind the clouds.. just in time. Watson was tired after his walk around the lake. He sauntered back in ready for a nap.
