April Showers.. one day early

Hunter and Dante cleared the sidewalks by the school as we passed by...they strutted their stuff. Odin, Joey, Otto, Roxy and Muskoka headed to Garnetwoods for a morning romp. Odin and Joey were interested in all the new smells. When Roxy brought a game of chase closeby, Otto jumped in on the tail end. Muskoka stayed close to me, burying herself when I kneeled down with her. She was a great source of warmth! :)
Watson, Bailey and Afrodyte all took a new route on their potty breaks. They were curious to check out fresh spots.
Jasper, Ben, Belle and Rocky were full of energy at the park. Each were on an adventure of their own, sometimes inticing the others to join them.

bright bright sun

Molly, Maddie, Roxy, Ben, Belle and Dutch each took their time under the bright bright sun engaging in games of chase with one another, stick fetching and relaxing moments. Watson, Pepper and Dyte were delighted to take in the fresh air and sunshine on their midday break. Odin and Joey spent the afternoon at Camp A Dog's Way basking in the sun. Keisha, Harley, Odin and Joey headed out for a walk which offered many laughs to my amusement. Great day!

new scents around

Roxy, Jasper, Ben, Belle and Rocky headed to Lambton Woods and sniffed out the trails along the Humber River. Duncan and Bailey looked over the calm, blue lake on their outing. Watson waddled along lakeside while Afrodyte strutted her stuff down the street. Otto, Joey, Odin, Jake and Dixie headed to new grounds and were full of wagging tails exploring. The pups were all very playful and delighted when new pups arrived to play with. Hunter and Dante were excited to take some time out of their afternoon to stroll around their block.

"*sniff, sniff* does it smell like dog in here..?"

Keisha and Harley took a tour around the neighbourhood enjoying the bright, morning sunshine.
Muskoka, Abby, Molly, Maddie, Cookie and Roxy headed to Garnetwoods for an active romp. Cookie, Abby and Roxy tore around with one another, initiating play with other dogs at the park. Molly and Maddie stayed relatively clean despite the muddy grounds they trekked through. Muskoka met a 4 month old Bernese pup that she was very happy to sniff out.
Afrodyte took care of business right away and wanted to head straight back home. After dropping Watson and Pepper back off at home from their potty break, I got in the elevator with a woman who asked me "does it smell like dog in here?" hmmm..!?!  :)
Dutch, Ben, Belle, Joey and Abby trudged through the muddy trails at High Park. The trio of labs kept close to one another with Ben keeping nearby. Dutch strayed from the group when he wanted to meet pups that passed by.

bright & early day!

Muskoka, Baxter, Maddie, Fergie, Keisha and Louie headed to Garnetwood bright & early to burn off their energy. They raced in circles and played well with one another. Otto, Daisy, Ben, Belle, Rocky and Dutch watched the trains passing by as we walked through the Lampton trails.

fresh fresh snow!!!

Otto, Muskoka, Joey and Odin made fresh tracks through the newly fallen piles of snow. They all bounced through it before heading on a sunny stroll. Belle, Jasper, Ben and Rocky checked out a new spot by the Humber River...the pups approved! Madison, Baxter, Fergie, Keisha and Harley are getting leashed up & heading to the lake to pick up Pepper for an early evening romp.

just kidding.. winter has arrived, again!

Odin, Joey and Molly picked up Muskoka and headed to her local fields. The pups were ecstatic to see fresh snow and they rolled around in it throughout their hike. The snow fueled each of them and all were full of energy. The snow blew around Dyte, Pepper and Bailey, making very white walks. Belle, Ben, Dutch and Louie went to High Park to frolick in the snow. It blew every which way around us, following as we trekked the trails.

spring is just around the corner..

Lily, Baxter, Madison, Fergie and Harley trekked along the walk taking in the fresh, morning air. Roxy, Jasper, Ben, Belle and Rocky headed to Humber Bay for an active frolick. There was other packs at the park and all the pups had fun chasing each other, picking up sticks along the way. Duncan, Watson and Afrodyte were all very curious with the scents around. They each took time to stop and stiff them out. Otto, Joey, Odin, Jake, Dixie and Muskoka walked the trails at West Deane park. When we got to an open field.. the pups raced around in huge circles. Muskoka stayed and rolled in the grass by side. Hunter and Dante greeted me excited to go for their walk.

Monday Crazies!!!

Abby arrived and headed out shortly after for a run with Sammy. Abby wanted to be by Sammy's side as we raced through the neighbourhood. Maddie, Lily, Baxter, Diesel, Fergie and Harley then took it to the streets where they each enjoyed exploring the neighbourhood. Muskoka, Molly, Cookie, Roxy, Sammy and Abby headed to West Deane park for a very leisurely stroll. The pups were all very excited to socialize with their friends after the weekend.. but got into the groove after their initial chaotic frolicks. Afrodyte and Pepper both enjoyed the fresh air during their potty breaks. Belle, Ben, Dutch, Joey, Abby and Sammy went lakeside for their afternoon hike. We took over the boardwalk, spanning out across it.
All of the A Dog's Way pups must've had a wee bit of crazy for breakfast this morning.. all were full of energy and spunk!

take our time

The A Dog's Way pack took their time on each outing and walk today. The weather was wonderful and we wanted to enjoy every moment. Purrrfect way to head into the weekend!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

The luck of the irish brought great weather for a day of walks! Hunter & Dante headed out first thing starting their day off on the right paw. Otto, Roxy, Diesel, Lily, Max & Harley were a cohesive pack as we walked in an orderly fashion through the streets. Muskoka took her time to sniff out her hood while Afrodyte made sure to take care of her businesses many times. Jasper, Ben, Belle, Rocky, Odin & Joey were so excited to arrive at High Park that they took me right off my feet. Once we hit Spring Road, the pups were off in all directions. When we got back to the car, they posed for a pic before their rides home where they looked forward to a snooze. Watson toured the block for his late afternoon stroll.

Harley says... "sweater weather is almost over!"

Joey, Odin and Roxy took a tour of the Humber Bay Shores Park East. The pups walked lakeside enjoying the fresh breeze off of the water. They tore up the open fields when we got to the peak.
Watson and Pepper stopped to meet passingbyer pooches while out & about. Afrodyte was less than impressed with the dreary weather but was happy when the sun peaked out.
Molly, Maddie, Ben, Belle and Dutch hit up Spring Road in hopes for a clean stretch. Molly stayed relatively clean despite her chases with the others. Maddie walked right through the muddy tracks as if she was trying to for dirty paws. Ben found another pup that he had a special liking for...the pack waited patiently while they frolicked before continuing on our travels. Belle took advantage of the milder weather and went for a dip followed by a roll in the snow. Dutch sauntered along watching the shananagans of his friends.

friendly faces

Watson was excited for an active romp.. we passed by many other pups out for walks in the neighbourhood too. Jasper, Ben, Rocky, Belle, Roxy and Otto headed to the lake for their walk time, seeing some friendly faces from the creek. Otto pranced & Rocky trudged while Roxy, Ben, Belle & Jasper tore through the muddy paths. After our walk.. with the exception of Otto, all pups went for a dip in the lake to wash off some of the stuck on mud that had accumulated during our time out at the park. Pepper excitedly greeted me for his walk and upon returning, sat at the concierge waiting for a treat...smart pup! Muskoka was joined by Odin for a romp in the field. Muskoka wanted to play, but Odin couldn't be bothered...he'd rather a roll in the grass. Odin, Prada, Lily, Diesel, Harley and Zok started their walk just as the sun came back out...it was perfect timing!

sunny skies again

Watson took some convincing to head out for our walk, but found the sunny skies overhead very welcoming. We stopped at each spot he wanted to scope out and he took care of business while on our travels. Madison, Molly, Roxy, Abby, Jake & Dixie had an enjoyable walk under the sunny skies. We took an active leashed walk and each pup were interested in their new surroundings.
Muskoka, Watson & Pepper and Afrodyte took their laps to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. The potty breaks were a perfect way to spend the midday stretch.
Cookie, Dutch, Ben, Belle & Abby stormed through High Park full of energy and spunk. My pups were recognized by all...their charismatic personalities shone even brighter than the sun  :)
This time around.. Watson was leading me out the door for his afternoon stroll.
Lily, Zok, Harley, Prada and Diesel set paw out for their walk to watch the sunset before heading back for dinner.

rainy again..

the rainy weather didn't seem to bother the pups at all but we are all looking forward to spring, hoping it arrives soon  :)

wipe out!!

Hunter & Dante didn't mind the rain one bit. We made our way through the streets, walking right through puddles. Jasper, Rocky. Ben, Belle & Roxy took a trek through Kings Mill Park. We got a wee bit lost walking along the trails but looped around and found our way back. Not before a big wipe out.. that the pups handled rather well, thank goodness! Odin, Joey, Brady, Otto, Jake & Dixie danced around in the rain and splashed around in puddles before heading back to Camp A Dog's Way for the 'royal treatment' including a towel off with a full paw to paw rub and delicious treat. Despite the dreary weather, I had much sunshine surrounding me all day long  :)

snow to rain, all in one day

Our walks went from skies filled with huge snowflakes falling as we walked through West Deane Park to rain and slush down by the lake. Through all weather conditions.. the pups loved it all!

tiptoeing through the sludge

Prada bounced in to Camp A Dog's Way very happy to see Harley. The adorable duo headed out with Zok for an active morning walk, pitter-pattering through the streets. The pack welcomed Jasper.. today, he was the center of attention. He got Rocky, Belle, Ben, Roxy and Muskoka running and playing through the park. Watson slowly sauntered around the block taking in the bright lunchtime sunshine! Jake, Dixie, Odin, Joey, Otto & Brady trekked through the patches of mud, snow and piles of sticks at the creek. Jake & Brady were occupied with a tennis ball that eventually found its way to Odin. Jake & Brady then turned to the many sticks that surrounded us. Dixie was friendly with all pups.. happy when each new pack arrived. Odin checked in with me regularily looking for a cuddle.. I loved it! Joey was stick obsessed, finding the largest ones to get the other pups interested in a game of tug over them. Otto tip-toed around the park keeping himself impeccably clean.. I tried to use him as an example for the other pups.

more time mondays

After a weekend away from their packs.. all the pups wanted 'more time' at the park. While at the creek.. Muskoka, Abby, Cookie, Molly, Roxy and Joey were ecsatic to race through the bare fields covered in snow. Abby grabbed sticks to initiate chase with the others while Roxy and Joey were social butterflies, making friends with all the dogs at the park. Cookie was mistaken for a coyote by another dog walker.. we were all surprised the bright teal bandana didn't give it away :D Muskoka was having way too much fun that she didn't want to leave the park...she kept convincing the other pups that it was still time to play! So, we did  :)
Pepper made many stops along our walk around the block, marking his territory around his hood. Duncan was a happy pup when I arrived.. excited to show me his new 'do.
Ben, Belle, Dutch, Abby and I enjoyed 'a walk in the park'. Another pack joined us for our romp and all the pups playfully dashed through the trails. We took our time taking in the sunshine & beautiful day!

Mill Rd was a hit!

Because of contruction at the Creek, we had to turn around and found the closest spot. The Mill Rd dog park was a hit! The pups were happy to discover new smells and I was happy the area was grassy with minimal mudpits  :)  the dogs raced around chasing sticks & others bandanas... and the rain held out!

when mud freezes over...

Hunter & Dante didn't take long to shake off their morning grogginess to go full force out on their walk. I was relieved that our trip to the Creek with Muskoka, Roxy, Odin, Joey and Otto was full of clean play. Muskoka kept busy chasing Roxy around in circles while Joey teased them with her great big stick. Odin explored the brush, taking in all the smells. Otto was recruited from another walker to make her first cut of the dog walkers rendition of 'The Ministry of Silly Walks'. Watson strolled along & Bailey sauntered by.. as they both walked lakeside on their potty breaks. Ben, Belle & Rocky headed along Bloor to Etienne Brule Park turning many heads along the way. Sinclair, Rex, Ferris, Zok & Harley were ecstatic to hit the streets for an afternoon outing.

Whoa! Windy walks.

Whoa, windy windy day! The creek was covered with ice & mud. Roxy, Tory, Joey, Odin & Muskoka were full of fun and raced up & down the trails. At the end of our walk.. they each had frozen, mud paws. Pepper & Watson almost blew away with the strong winds lakeside...brrr! To deter from more muddy paws.. Dutch, Belle & Ben picked up Molly & Starbucks and headed along Bloor for a stroll to the Tom Riley Park. All pups took care of business and met other dogs out for their afternoon walks. The A Dog's Way pack all managed to stay grounded through wind tunnels around us all day long.

day full o' walks

Watson was ready to walk! We travelled around his hood searching for the Lambton discovery trail. Finally, we found a forested area.. presumably part of the trails, which Watson took his time smelling every inch. Otto, Roxy, Belle, Rocky & Ben felt the very cold breeze off of the lake. The A Dog's Way pack had too good of a time that not one pup wanted to leave. Pepper was excited to meet Watson.. he went ahead while Watson sauntered behind. Jake, Dixie, Joey & Odin popped in for a romp with Harley before heading out for a sunny afternoon stroll.. they were interested in smells from all directions. Hunter alerted the neighbourhood before his walk while Dante was relieved that it wasn't too cold, so he didn't have to wear his jacket. I was excited to see Duncan after his vacation.. we took a new route for him to explore. Pepper headed out for another lap by the lake.. he was soo excited, he jumped back and forth down the hall while walking out. Ferris, Rex, Sinclair, Zok & Harley watched as the sunset on their pre-dinner stroll. All pups have called it a day and found their spots to curl up.
