it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..

Hunter, Muskoka, Sporty & Harley headed out to explore new territories.. we took new roads & paths, stopping to sniff out fave spots. The snow started to come down.. Dutch, Cliff, Ben, Max, Oscar, Odin & Megan were charged & ready to go. They all tore around at humber bay through puddles, making mucky treks after yesterdays rainfall. Dyte wandered up & down the street.. she took her sweet time, enjoying her midday outing. I knew the muddy paths from our earlier walk at the lake, so Cookie, Lila, Madison, Molly, Princess & Pepper trailed through tall grasses & explored new areas, keeping paws as clean as possible. it was worth a try!

singing in the rain!

the rain didn't let up once today! and, we had the park to ourselves on both walks!!
the pups went wild in the rain.. splashing through puddles, racing around including each member of the pack in the chase. the groups were cohesive & we had a ton of fun, with rain day play :)
Dyte was less than impressed & made it a quick one! I didn't blame the diva!
Harley & Sporty went for rainy run.. it came down hard, but that didn't stop us!

taken it easy

we took it easy & enjoyed our walks.. Oscar ventured to meet new friends, not stopping once during our walk. Dutch & Muskoka stayed closeby, loving constant cuddles. Molly, Megan, Maddie & Princess chased in circles, enjoying when new pals came to joined in.

tgif!

the sun was out and the air was brisk down at the lake this morning with Ferris, Rex, Sinclair & Harley. we ran around the grounds, keeping us warm & active. Bailey enjoyed his one-on-one walk before heading home after a couple of days at camp.
Belle, Dutch, Oscar, Otto and Pepper sprung from the car with excitement when we arrived at the humber bay shores park for their walk. the sun was shining over the lake.. it was picturesque & the pack took in nature's beauty as we played.
Samson, pup pal from another pack, joined lady friends Madison, Megan and Princess for a trek through the trails at James Gardens. we found a perfect spot to run through the leaves & trees.. the pups were happy as can be! and so was I  :)
Muskoka sauntered down the street taking care of business close to home. she had a break from the pack and took it easy, enjoying having me all to herself!
Hunter & I kept it short on our evening outing.. it was a peaceful walk taking us into the weekend.

it's unofficially winter

Hunter was pleased to see old friends Ferris, Rex, Sinclair & Harley.. they had come to join him for his morning walk. he yawned & stretched, then was ready to go!
as the pack arrived at the lake, we were greeted by other packs & familiar faces on their way out.. all the pups had a friendly frolick, then headed into the park to take over the grounds. Princess was playful with Lila, starting a good chase that Belle was happy to join in. Ben led a circle race that got Megan, Molly & Maddie's attention. the crew tore around the park racing & chasing around with one another. it was great to see all the pups so interactive with each other.
our time at garnetwoods was filled with fun & frolicks! Oscar found other puppies his age.. they ran & played happily together. Cliff & Cookie were like brother & sister on the field.. they 'ruff'ed around with each other, in a playful banter. Muskoka guided me to who she wanted to see & smell.. I took her lead. Odin was quite content fetching the ball throughout the park.. he rolled around over top it, happy as can be! Dutch took it easy, resting at spots with the nearest ball.. it was a great surprise when he puttered pass a kong! Pepper was social with friends at the park, woofing to initiate play with them.
Nassau trotted on our brisk evening walk, and enjoyed a surprise visit to camp a dog's way :)

laying in the leaves

Ferris, Rex & Sinclair were surrounded by leaves at camp this morning.. Sinclair & Rex jumped through them while Ferris found a comfy spot on a pile.
Cookie, Otto, Odin, Jake, Dixie & Oscar were excited to get to the lake. the sun was shining, making for a perfect walk! Cookie took off running far & wide, while Otto & Dixie didn't stray from my side. they pranced beside me, trailing through. Odin & Jake took turns sharing their tennis balls with others at the park. many were interested in a game of chase & fetch.. let's just say, the A Dog's Way pack came out on top :) Oscar found a viszla puppy friend, Amber from another crew, and the two were inseperable. to end our walk off, we hung out by the lake, dipping our paws to refresh!
Princess, Muskoka, Megan, Jasper, Ben & Belle were joined by some of their favourite friends from familiar packs. we all travelled through the humber bay shores as a cohesive pack, enjoying each others company.
Nassau was happy for her late day walk.. enjoying a stretch, potty & bite!
back at camp, the troops headed out for a brisk walk while the sun set.. great walk to end the day!

who's that girl? la la la la la la la la la la la

Harley, Chanel & Prada were up before the sun and headed out for an early mornin' run to work up an appetite. we all had a bite before welcoming Ferris, Rex & Sinclair to camp.. and then hit the road to the nearest dog park. the pups ran at full speed enjoying all of the space at Marie Curtis to themselves. it was a peaceful start to our day :)
Hunter wandered through the neighbourhood, taking his time to sniff out his fave spots.
Belle, Ben, Cliff, Megan, Molly & Princess enjoyed a walk full of sticks & frolicks! each had their own game of fun, tossing around a stick or chasing around each other.
Afrodyte didn't go too far.. she wanted to stay close to home, beside mom's side.
Lila, Muskoka, Pepper & Oscar explored Marie Curtis park, where there were new friends to meet & play with. the pack almost didn't recognize Lila, with her new 'do.. she looked like a completely different dog but proved her identity with her usual playfulness & sas. Oscar was happy to see his little friend.. he laid low on the ground so he could be at Lila's level. Pepper tried to get Howard, a park friend's attention with woofs, which showed to be unsuccessful. Muskoka stayed close watching the others, excited when they tore by for a check-in.

today we remember...

the pups & I took a moment of silence to remember on the 11th day of the 11th month in the 11th year. we put out special thoughts at 11:11 too.
lest we forget <3

too much fun!

Harley, Connor, Prada & Chanel took me for a run this morning! the squirrels were our driving force.. no probs keeping momentum :)

Cookie, Princess, Madison, Molly, Megan & Muskoka took their adventures to the lake. Cookie & Priness found many friends to frolick with at the park, while Madison, Molly, Megan & Muskoka stayed close to me strolling about. the pups enjoyed tasty treats, the perfect touch for their outing.

Bailey & Dyte took care of business on their midday break.. both got lots of cuddles which made us all happy =D

Cookie asked to tag along with her friends at high park because she wasn't ready to go home yet.. she joined Cliff, Belle, Ben, Odin & Oscar for dog hill fun! we stopped in, for a race around before exploring new paths.

Nassau didn't mind the rain one bit, she even took extra time to find that perfect potty spot!

Hunter had company from Harley, Connor, Prada & Chanel for his dark & stormy stroll. the rain let up for us but we still splashed through the puddles, dancing in the rain!

a case of the crazies

at Camp A Dog's Way, we started our morning with a run.. Harley, Prada, Chanel & Connor made their way through the streets with wagging tails & hanging tongues!
Otto, Belle, Ben, Megan, Princess & Cookie headed to the lake, arriving to a park full of pups. in just a short while, we had the park all to ourselves! the pups were spoiled with fetch, treats & even an extra long lakeside stroll along the waters edge.
Dyte didn't want to spend much time on her walk.. so we hung out on the front porch for cuddles & belly rubs :)
Muskoka, Oscar, Odin, Jake & Dixie went to Marie Curtis park for their afternoon adventures. Oscar made friends quickly & spent his time frolicking with other visiting pups.. there was no looking back! Odin & Jake were fetch obsessed, each having their own tennis ball to chase. Jake got bored with the ball and brought me a stick to throw instead.. Dixie liked this game, she chased Jake back & forth as he ran for the toss. Muskoka was eager to play with surrounding pups but took it easy close by my side.. at points, she rested on my feet, helping to keep them warm :)
when I arrived back at camp, the pups had a case of the crazies!!! we turned right back out to the nearest park to get them all out! there were lots of new pups to meet & the pups worked up an appetite.
Nassau was excited when I arrived at the end of the day.. she was ready for a walk & dinner! we crossed paths with pups & people, stopping to say hello to her faves

all about the dogz

Hunter heard me coming & raced up the stairs to greet me for our walk. we went offleash through the fields where he followed his beagle nose, sniffing out adventures!
at the parks...
Dutch took it easy, chillin' in the shade under the trees.
while Ben, Cliff, Belle & Princess tore around in circles & figure eights after one another.
and Megan, Molly & Maddie stayed close, making sure to get all the lovin' they could!
back at camp, Odin & Oscar stopped in for a visit before their walk. the pups had a good frolick & enjoyed the warmer, november temps!

sunny skies

what a great day of walks! Harley, Wedge & Lucky headed out for a lap around the neighbourhood stopping for sniffs at the 'hot spot' trees & posts.
today, we had to say farewell to one of our fave fun pups, Brady. he will be flying out to vancouver this weekend to find new adventures & furry friends by the ocean. I arrived at Brady's to start our trek with some one-on-one time. Brady & I walked through the streets, picking up Otto & Lila along the way. we took a parkette over for some sunny rounds of fetch.. Brady dominated the game, showing his skills & speed to the other wee ones. Otto & Lila were happy to keep Brady company along his final treks with A Dog's Way. Brady & I took a few to say our goodbyes with cuddles & kisses. we will all miss Brady very much but look forward to hearing about his exciting new adventures afar.
Belle, Cliff, Madison, Max, Megan & Princess frolicked & fetched under the sunny skies at dog hill in high park. we made our way through the trails, enjoying the beautiful day!
Muskoka, Hunter, Wedge, Lucky & Harley joined each other for a late day stroll.. the pups took it easy & leisurely strutted through the streets.

a new day

Watson was happy to have ladies, Megan & Abby, join him on his walk. he sniffed them out before walking side by side with them. Ben, Belle, Cookie, Lila, Otto & Princess stormed down the path heading the humber bay shores park. we ran into pack mate, Oscar & fave dog park friend, Picaso.. all the pups had a wonderful time playing with each other & the people around. Muskoka & Odin headed to camp a dog's way before heading out with Harley, Wedge & Lucky to trek nearby the etobicoke creek.

trails full of surprises!

Harley & I hit the streets for a run early this am. we jumped into the car after that to pick up Odin, Jake, Dixie, Muskoka & Megan. we headed to the lambton wood trails.. on our way in, Odin jumped in the bush surprised to see a deer.. she jumped out onto the trail in front of us, surprised to see Odin as well. great surprises to start the walk! we found ravines & streams through our trek, stopping for some offleash frolicks.
Bailey took in the fresh air & sunshine on his lakeside stroll.
Ben, Jasper, Princess, Lila, Otto & Cookie were happy to see that the sunshine came out to join us by the lake. our pack was full of energy & there were loads of pups at the park to play with. they all took turn do-si-do'ing around with each other.
Belle & Hendricks picked up Nassau on the way to the boardwalk.. the trio fanned out alongside & were great company for our walk :)
