happy holidays!!

merry christmas to all, and to all a good night!

just in time... :)

blind melon says it best 'no rain!' :) we got lucky & missed the forecasted rain! Hunter joined the campers for a romp @ Marie Curtis park this morning. it was a nice change of scenery for Hunter, and he followed his nose to explore.
Dutch, Pepper, Lila, Jake, Dixie, Belle & Ben were full of 'monday' energy & did laps at Humber Bay. between the tennis & rubber balls and sticks, there was plenty of fun to keep us chasing!
Dyte didn't go too far today.. but she made sure to stop for the neighbours to give her a pat :)
the lovely ladies.. Princess, Molly, Maddie, Megan & Muskoka, went to Marie Curtis to get out their Monday sillys. they each tore around in circles, happily inviting all the pup visitors!
Harley, Simon, Emery, Drift, Oscar & Nassau hit the streets for a pre-dinner romp.. working up quite the appetite!
yay! we missed the rain, as it misted just as we arrived back to camp!

Milo & Juno arrived with wagging tails to join Megan, Sky & Harley at camp for the day! we headed out to Marie Curtis for a romp.. the pups were playful & enjoyed exploring. before heading home, Megan joined Muskoka, Princess and Maddie for a energetic, yet peaceful walk at lambton woods, near the humber trails. after a frolic, we hung out under the trees, taking in the fresh air & sunshine :) Oscar went for a lap around the block for a midday stretch & potty break. Belle, Dutch, Lila, Otto & Pepper had the company of Dexter, playful boxer, down at the lake. Each took a turn romping around with him. Hunter went for a brisk evening walk.. we kept at a good pace, helping to keep us toasty warm! Milo & Juno were ready to run.. we had a few good rounds of chase & fetch.

burrs all around

the burrs got us all this morning through west deane park. Muskoka was quite the burr-nese when we wrapped up.. her tail attached to me & Sky. we picked ours out while Odin rolled around in the grass to remove his own wee ones. Oscar stayed burr-free & was happy for his short coat.

Dutch & Max tugged over the same giant stick, while Ben chased Belle around, after every twig, stick or log she picked up. Pepper, master of the 'stare down' ... used his techniques with Megan for playful frolics.

the ladies.. Cookie, Lila, Madison, Molly & Princess.. headed to the lake to trail around the paths at Humber Bay Shores Park East. we took a detour along the shore & raced around in the rain! happy pups :)

Hunter & I got the brunt of the rainfall.. we were wet walkers!

blue crew sitings

A Dog's Way packs walked through West Deane Park, Humber Bay Shores Park West and in & around neighbourhood streets today.. keep an eye out for the 'blue crew' on your adventures!

oh, what a beauty monday! :)

the sun was bright, warming us all on this mid-december day! Sky was dropped off early at camp for a week o' fun.. she headed out with Hunter, Connor & Harley for a sunny, morning romp. a perfect walk to start the day! after that, the pack.. Pepper, Lila, Oscar, Dutch, Ben & Belle were off to high park to meet new friends & explore the trails. midday, Dyte got some fresh ait & puttered down the street, stopping at her fave spots along the way. the ladies were then out this afternoon.. Megan, Muskoka, Maddie, Molly & Princess trekked through lambton woods & james gardens.. taking over all the trails, and even making some new ones of their own. there were lots of pups & their people that stopped to say 'hello' on our travels.

frigid friday, winter is on its way..

Cookie, Cocoa & Harley were excited for their day of pup company & walks. we headed to the lake.. Dutch, Lila, Oscar, Otto & Pepper trekked through a cool & brisk walk, taking it easy on a friday. Dyte got down to business right away & led the way home to curl up, warm in her bed. Ben, Madison, Megan, Muskoka, Princess & Hunter kept moving, keeping warm during their afternoon romp.

there's the sun! :)

the sun woke us all up this morning :) next, arrived Abby.. another ray of sunshine! she greeted Harley, Megan & Maeva with a wagging tail.. we left the cat behind, and headed to Marie Curtis for an early morning romp, pre park. afterwards, we jumped in the car heading out on our first run. Muskoka, Princess, Ben, Max and Otto had Maya, a new friend of the pack, to keep them company at the park. the pups trailed along, exploring & socializing with one another.
Dyte marked her way along the street, strutting her stuff as she moved.
Oscar, Odin, Cookie, Pepper & Abby took over the park with long distance runs & bouts of fetch! the dogs had a riot, enjoying every minute of it! we had a ton of fun :)
Pepper & Cookie were happy to hang out at camp for a wee while this afternoon, taking it easy & laying low. Nassau was happy to head out as light became dark, and the wind whirled around us.. she was even happier after that for dinner time :)

handsome help

Papa B joined the pack, lending a helping hand... the pups very much enjoyed his company :)
when we arrived, we had the park to ourselves.. it was a good thing, because we were quite a vocal crowd. Pepper, Jake, Ben & Megan woofed & howled in playful banter. Jake found the biggest log in the park & insisted that it be thrown. that was a challenge, but one that Papa B did effortlessly.. and Jake was thrilled! Pepper, Ben & Megan followed the friendly frolicks of Cookie & Oscar as they raced through the trees, around corners & up rocks. Otto & Dixie stayed close to me.. Otto taking breaks to chase Pepper & Dixie adding to the chase with the others. the pups all played well together & had a ton of fun!
Muskoka, Odin & Harley enjoyed a leisurely stroll to the park.. where Odin did his 'run & roll' with a squeaker ball, playing fetch til his hearts content! Harley wandered & explored while Muskoka chased the nearby sticks, finding part of a tree that she just didn't want to leave behind. the pups were poopered when we left, and had worked up an appetite for dinner... mmmmm

mellow monday

Ben had all the ladies to himself at high park today.. Madison, Muskoka, Megan, Molly & Princess. what a nice surprise.. we were happily greeted by Cookie & her mum, who joined us for some play time on dog hill. Cookie was only interested in the squirrels, which got Maddie & Princess in play mode, chasing at her heels. Megan, Molly & Muskoka lingered closeby while Ben made himself known at the park. there was a mellow calm over the remainder of the walk, as we explored new nooks & crannies. 
Bailey got dressed up for the rain, keeping him dry for his lazy afternoon. Dyte didn't mind the rain, she walked right through the puddles down the street.
the park was ours.. the lake was motionless & the air was mellow. Cliff & Oscar went hard, playfully dancing with one another.. they both turned to Lila for some low down play. despite her size disadvantage, Lila took on the boys & continued to go back for more. Pepper got involved too.. he followed the frolicks of Cliff & Oscar, joining in when the play got real fun! Dutch watched from afar, enjoying his solitude. after a muddy romp, we all hung out lakeside to rinse our paws & chill out.
Harley joined Hunter for his very rainy stroll. Harley was less than impressed, but trooped out the rain to be alongside his mom <3 Hunter kept moving along, with his nose trailing close to the ground.

who dealt it???

while heading to the park, the dog mobile was filled with a foul smell.. who dealt it??? my bets on Ben.. when I asked, he was full of wagging tails and a curious smirk. hmmm!? Megan & Jasper didn't waste anytime getting into the lake.. both popped back up on shore, very content with themselves! Princess & Pepper tore around in circles after the others, while Cookie did circles around all of us.

Dyte dug her walk.. taking her time around the block. she stopped to sniff between her pitter-patters.

Odin & Muskoka got into a flirty frolick, which ended in me hog-tied & tumbled over. I was then pup piled with loads of wet ones =D Abby & Oscar had all the dogs at the park playing, coming to check in time & time again.. Otto stayed at my heel, content to be close & getting cuddles when near.
