nothing beats the smell of wet dog :P

Ferris, Rex, Sinclair and Zok hit the streets, happily wagging their tails. Watson was relieved the rain stopped for our hike around the neighbourhood. The sun came out just in time for Abby, Muskoka, Joey and Roxy to chase the other pups out of the park, leaving it to themselves. They splashed through making fun all around. Abby & Joey found a stick that each attached to... neither wanted to let go. Roxy was the center of the chase. Muskoka followed closely behind trying to catch up. Pepper did a lap around lakeside, making sure to check out everything along the way. Cookie, Molly, Ben, Belle, Dutch and Abby were the final touch to a car full of wet dog. We spent an extra long time at the creek because the pups were having a blast! There were plenty of dogs to keep each of us all entertained. It was a great walk to end the day. The car smelled like one giant wet dog.. i loved it!

weekend getaway

Joey, Darby, Ferris, Rex, Sinclair and Zok were company for Harley and Lincoln for a weekend getaway at the cottage. The pups were ecstatic with the piles of untouched snow we arrived to. They all trekked through it, rolling around and chasing each other. After active days.. the pups curled up in front of the fireplace comfy and cozy! Perfect weekend away with the pooches  :D

:)

Ben, Dutch, Roxy, Rocky, Belle and Otto hit the park running. All were happy pups to run free!

Hunter & Dante started their days off on the right paw. They put a smile on my face, great walk to start my day too! The A Dog's Way packs stayed close to the lake whether at Humber Bay Shores or Colonel Samuel. The parks were rockin' after our crews arrived. Each pup had their favourite way to enjoy their time.. whether fetch, chase, drop & roll, etc.

'the squirrels are back in town...'

The pups were full of life and very active at the Etobicoke Creek. The A Dog's Way pack welcomed Tory with open paws. They showed her their hot spots and favourite trees. Chloe, Darby, Zok & Harley went to the Beach for a stroll where the squirels were in full bloom. The pups were interested and wanted to play!

sunny skies to cut the bitter

The sun was shining and it wasn't as bitter as we anticipated.. all were happy! At High Park.. Ben, Belle and Roxy went beyond the fences to chase Buju & Naboo (from another pack). The pups raced through the tree-filled forest. Rocky and Otto stayed with me, visiting pups that came close.
Watson sauntered around stopping to sniff out the most popular spots.
Joey, Odin, Jake & Dixie headed to Colonel Samuel Park for an active romp. Fetch was the name of the game, and all took part at one time or another. Odin held onto his pink ball, seldomly dropping it at my feet for a toss. He happily rolled around the snow with it in his mouth. Jake would only chase one ball that he had his eye on. When I tried another one we stumbled upon.. he wasn't interested. Joey took either so the others would chase her around. Dixie nosed the ball when it came close, but prefered to go from human to human for attention... it worked!
Hunter & Dante began our walk taking their time but after warming up, they were well on their way.

Furry Family Day!

Abby stormed in, bringing a great energy to Camp A Dog's Way. The pups had a playful romp in the freshly fallen snow before heading to High Park. Our walk was filled with adventure.. each one of the pups had something up their sleeve. Belle stole both mittens from my hand while I was trying to take a ball away that Dutch had stolen from another park pup. During the chase with Belle, she dropped one mitten for Ben to grab to continue the 'double trouble' chase. After I managed to get the first ball from Dutch's jaws of steel.. he was on his way to his next victim. In my attempts to persuade Dutch with treats, Abby was in my face ready to obey anything for one. Darby coralled the group while Chloe took this chance to play 'hard-to-get'. She dodged around each pup looking for a chase. To end the day.. Zok, Wedge, Lucky, Otto & Harley headed out for a brisk walk. We stayed close to parks and fields to keep our tiny paws away from salt. The Camp A Dog's Way crew are tuckered from an active day and have found cozy spots to curl up in.

Happy Weekend!

sunny & mild.. great way to head into the long weekend! The snow is melting, making puddles and muddy spots for the pups to walk through. Muskoka charged through the messy field as happy as can be. Otto, Roxy, Belle & Rocky walked through the High Park neighbourhood, stopping to check out their fave spots. Ben & Dutch arrived at Camp A Dog's Way.. looking forward to a fun-filled pup weekend!

mild and muddy

Some pups tiptoed through the puddles, others went around while some just dashed right through them. After our walks, some were muddy, some were dry. Any way we walked, the mild temperatures were ok with everyone!

hmmm.. hail?

The pups headed out early for a peaceful romp at the creek. We trekked through to the rock beach and each pooch explored unfamiliar grounds. We worked on our 'touch' command, having great success.
Muskoka got distracted before taking care of business, having to say hi to another park in the field. Watson piddled as soon as he set foot outside. Lucy was brave and did fantastic during my visit. We found a fresh pile of snow, so Bapsi could enjoy a brush through before heading in.
Zok, Jake, Dixie & Harley were excited to head out for a warm, afternoon stroll. The sun joined us as the day came to a close.

icy treks

Scuttles was comfy on her chair when I arrived to freshen her eats. I strapped on my icers ready for a day of walks. Rocky, Jake, Dixie, Zok and Harley hit the streets early and were ready for a early day nap after that. Roxy, Ben, Belle, Odin, Joey and Otto scouted the scene at Colonel Samuel Park. We circled the grounds chasing a ball or two around before heading for a lap around the ice rink. Watson, a wee jack russell, was excited for his first walk with me. The warm sun kept us out for extra long. Dante sat his walk out but greeted Hunter when we arrived back. We'll be sure to wake him up on thursday, so he can join us.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

My day was filled with much, much pup unconditional love. I <3 my dogs!
Muskoka was ecstatic to see Abby arrive..she darted out into the yard to play. Ursus, Eiger, Gizmo, Harley and Abby took a tour around the hood after an active romp. Jake, Dixie, Odin, Joey and Roxy joined Muskoka and Abby for gallop through the creek. Bapsi was ready to take care of business..she took her time, finding the perfect spot. I had to grab her on the way in, making sure she didn't blow away. Belle, Cookie, Molly, Ben, Dutch and Abby leaped out of the car in all directions racing against the wind. We found sticks, balls and just about anything to play with. All the dogs were full of energy and enjoyed their walks.

bright and early!

We headed out bright and early to the creek. Ursus and Eiger stayed closeby, returning to my sides every so often. Sammy and Gizmo raced around the pack, while Muskoka looked for attetion from people who passed.. she was selective with the pups she played with. Jake & Dixie were both paws over paws for rolling around in the snow. Ursus & Eiger were a hit at today's pet FunFest.. they got attention from all directions. Harley was thrilled with the new frog toy we brought home.. he had saved up all his kibble to donate to the Tiny Paws rescue organization. Pooches are tired from an active day, curled up cozy by my feet.

last day of cold..?

Ursus, Eiger, Sammy & Gizmo headed out early for romp. After a morning full of play, the pups found their spot around me and walked in a orderly fashion. Dutch, Rocky, Cookie, Ben, Roxy and Otto had the lake park to themselves. We circled the grounds and dogs raced around after one another investigating scents along the way. Dutch grabbed one of mitts and held on with his jaws of steel. After quite the challenge, I won! My mitten, however, has seen better days. Rocky took full advantage and raced around at full speed. Cookie, Ben, Roxy and Otto went back and forth playing with one another. It was great to see Otto so playful with his pack pals. Muskoka arrived at Camp A Dog's Way and greeted the others with a playful romp...excited for a fun-filled weekend. Looking forward to warmer temps over the next couple of days!

brrr & burrrs

Hunter and Dante listened while I belted out tunes as we sauntered through the neighbourhood. The sun was shining, but brrr...it was cold! Roxy, Otto, Cookie, Ben and Rocky were full of spunk at High Park.. they got all the local dogs playing. Bapsi and Bailey kept warm moving with their heads up to the sunshine. Belle kept her nose to the ground as we walked around the block. Joey, Odin, Jake & Dixie were ready to run. They made their way through the trails at the creek, picking up burrs along the way. Ursus, Eiger and Sammy were covered in burrs after their romp, but enjoyed a brush out once we returned home.

snow rolling techniques at their finest!

Ursus, Eiger, Sammy, Nikki, Roxy and Muskoka hit the trails with bounds of energy. Ursus & Eiger tired quickly after their morning full of romps. Sammy kept the others running... Nikki and Roxy chased him around, off the trails. Muskoka looked for lots of love from all the other pup owners.

Bapsi had three pees, a poop and a good roll in the snow. Belle took a lap around, taking a break from play.
Odin, Joey, Cookie, Molly, Ben and Dutch headed to the lake for an active walk. We circled the grounds with Dutch as my shadow. Odin practiced the slide & roll technique through the snow, while Molly preferred the drop & roll way, even did a somersault in the process. Cookie ran from corner to corner, having Joey and Ben tag along for the fun.

back to brrr.

Hunter and Dante were less than impressed with the salt on the sidewalks. We headed over the schoolyard field and met another pup out for his walk. Hunter and Sam raced around chasing each other through the snow. Dante and I circled the area to keep warm, watching the nearby frolicks.
Roxy, Otto, Muskoka, Ben, Belle and Rocky headed to the Humber Bay Shores Park. We had it all to ourselves until towards to end of our romp. Ben and Belle stayed closeby after taking care of business. Rocky raced along the rocky edge, returning to my side when called. Muskoka explored new grounds while Roxy went at full speed. Otto took part in play returning as my shadow on his breaks.
Bapsi felt out the path for the best spots to roll around in the snow.
Our walk at the creek was filled with fun and frolicks. Odin, Joey, Jake, Dixie, Sammy and Nikki were pefect pups as they made their way through the trails and amonst the other packs. Odin and Jake were thrilled to roll in the piles of snow off the trails...they were set on becoming covered in white by the end of our trek. Dixie was a social buteerfly...she visited the other packs, stopping for a sniff and chase with her fave pooches. Sammy was a hit at the park, every dog wanted to play with him. Nikki and Joey were full of energy, initiating play with the others. Harley and Zok sat this walk out!
Ursus and Eiger were wild with excitement when I arrived to pick them up for their week at Camp A Dog's Way. They tore around with Sammy and Nikki before calling it a day.

mild transition

Nikki was dropped off bright & early at Camp A Dog's Way and was thrilled when Abby arrived. The two raced around the yard in piles of snow until they headed out to the creek with Roxy, Joey, Muskoka and Harley. They all chased each other around, happy for new joiners as we crossed paths with other pups. The large snowflakes slowly fell around us at High Park...it was picturesque! Dutch, Belle, Ben, Molly, Cookie and Abby stayed closeby on the trails and ran at large along Sprin Road, enjoying a perfect afternoon walk. I had a very warm welcome back from all my pooches. Great way to start the week off!

Happy Birthday Belle!!

Belle had a great walk with Sally down by the lake. Perfect afternoon break on her special day!

Snow day!!

Thank goodness for snow tires! Odin, Roxy, Molly, Ben and Belle were as happy as can be running through the freshly fallen snow. Perfect walk to send me on my way :D

cold to the bone

The wind was strong off of the lake.. but the rocks and trees shadowed Roxy, Ben, Belle and Rocky as they frolicked around. Duncan was joined by Bapsi on his afternoon stroll. Muskoka, Otto, Joey, Odin, Jake & Dixie were full of adventure and fun as we did laps around the creek. Hunter and Dante were awoken from a deep slumber to head out for their romp around the neighbourhood.
