the rain just missed us.. for the most part!

Abby arrived this morning, ready to stay for a visit! she joined Harley for a block run, and then both picked up Buster for a walk, along a different route. Muskoka, Sparky, Princess, Otto, Odin and Oscar were very well behaved pups at the park, getting lots of praise & attention! Nelly just missed the rain on her neighbourhood stroll, while Dyte got lucky the rain stopped for her walk and Watson was relieved to see the sunshine and no clouds. Megan joined Watson for a romp before heading to the lake with Ben, Jasper, Belle & Cookie. we had a ton of fun.. each of the pups having an adventure of their own!

taking our time today!

at Marie Curtis this morning, we took our time.. Joey, Emery, Drift & Maddie were popular at the park. they had followers & playmates from all directions. Hunter, Buster & Harley trotted alongside joining in the fun at their lesisure! Joey tagged along for an extra long romp at lambton park with Sparky, Molly, Maddie, Princess, Megan & Muskoka. we basked in the warm sunshine, enjoying adventures through the paths & forests. the pups played well with another, having a good ol' doggy time! Odin was excited to see cute blond Joey in the car. Lila, Belle, Ben, Dutch and Cookie ran young, wild & free when we got to the lake. there was so much excitement with other packs, that each dog had a playmate of their own. we swam, ran & took our time having fun!

and the muddy paws are back!

Harley, Maddie, Megan, Buster, Emery & Drift went for an active walk this morning to check things out around the 'hood.
Megan then joined Hunter for his walk.. the pair walked side by side, stopping to sniff out the popular spots along our way.
Muskoka, Princess, Sparky, Maddie & Molly were showered with rain as they romped through the fields, chasing after each other & fun!
Dora was not impressed with the rain on her parade this afternoon.. she kept it short & sweet, ready for a cuddle when she got back in.
Nelly, Dutch, Lila, Belle, Ben & Atticus hit the trails at Lambton Park for their afternoon walk. the pack was full of energy as they tore around, up & down the park.

not just a doggy day

Hunter joined the campers for a very happy morning romp at Marie Curtis.. he fell tails over paws with Emery and followed her around the park. while she was busy ruffing around with her bro, Drift. Maddie made friends all around.. she especially had fun with Megs. the two tore around in circles after one another. Harley was happy to see park friend, Molly and frolicked about with her. Cape was extra randy today, romping with many.
Lila, Madison, Muskoka, Otto, Princess and Sparky headed to the lake for a perfect way to spend their day! we did laps through the park, taking swim breaks for those interested. Lila & Otto stayed on shore, taking turns chasing each other. Madison and Sparky were in & out for a dip, while Princess & Muskoka stayed entertained on dry land.
Dora made her way through the streets.. enjoying her sunny break!
Atticus, Dutch and Belle walked through High Park along Spring Road and took a detour through the zoo. Dutch was un-phased by our furry friends while Atticus was mesmerized by the Yaks. it was the odd looking birds that got Belle's attention.
Buster was welcomed at camp, with wagging tails. Lola joined the crew for an afternoon playdate.. she loved meeting new friends!
a wonderful way to end the week! :)

in for another warm & sunny day :)

the campers were happy pups this morning, especially when Abby arrived on the scene.. it was park time! Harley, Cape, Drift, Emery, Megan & Maddie were off to Marie Curtis for a morning romp.. we fetched sticks & tennis balls through the park, stopping to sniff out friendly pups along our way.
at Humber bay shores park, all of the pups ended up in the water with the exception of Princess. she stayed on shore, laying in the sun. Belle, Abby, Jasper & Sparky jumped right in, making a splash! Ben & Cookie walked along the shoreline, dipping their toes into the lake.
Dora & Dyte were excited for their sunny & warm midday walk. they pitter pattered through each of their neighborhoods, looking cute as can be!
in the afternoon, we were off to Marie Curtis park for rounds of fetch & laps around.. Odin, Oscar, Otto, Muskoka, Jake, Dixie & Abby enjoyed the sunshine & great walk! Odin, Jake & Abby kept running through the park, all engaging in a chase. Oscar was ecstatic to see Dane friend, Blaze.. they danced & hugged, embracing each other with pup love. Otto didn't waste any time getting down & dirty.. he rolled around in the dirt as soon as he set foot in the park. Dixie stayed nearby making friends with a Bassett hound pup, while Muskoka made friends with all the dog owners.
back at camp, we headed down to the etobicoke creek to wrap up our day with a scenic swim. it was peaceful & serene, a magical way to end our day! :D

cooler than we thought!

the sun deceived as this morning, giving us the impression we were in for a warmer day.. that was not the case, just ask Harley (who was sweater-less & not overly impressed!) we kept moving, leaving no time to get cold. it was brisk, but nonetheless a refreshing day for walks. out adventures took us to Marie Curtis Park and Humber bay shores west, twice! the pups days were filled with fetch, chases & swims.. and it was a happy day for all!

it's beginning to look a lot like summer! :)

Camp A Dog's Way's morning started bright & early with a romp to Marie Curtis park.. Harley and his friends Maddie, Cape & Hunter trekked through the park making more friends with all!
next up heading to Marie Curtis park was Muskoka, Megan, Molly, Maddie, Princess, Sparky & Nelly. the sun was shining warm & bright as we did laps around the park, stopping for a drink of water every loop. the pups were on their bestest as they played through our travels.
our afternoon was quiet at high park as Atticus, Lila, Dutch, Belle & Ben romped along spring road and through the trails. Atticus chased after Belle & Dutch, as Ben 'fun policed' his way in. Lila watched from the sidelines staying away from the giant strides. Atticus wouldn't get outta the water once he laid down for a dip, while Belle changed colour with her faithful 'swim & roll', in the dirt! she was a chocolate lab by the time we were on our way out. better than Ben, who rolled in something that he was ever so proud about.. grinning upon his return to te group! P.U.!!!!! the path back to the dogmobile was lined with cherry blossoms in bloom, beautiful! just what we needed after our dirty & smelly walk! =/

happy day!

the sun was shining bright, making for an enjoyable day out with the pooches! ☀

Hunter went to Marie Curtis with pals Joey, Simon, Maddie & Harley. we all lapped around the park together with wagging tails along our happy trails. Joey felt like it was groundhog day when she arrived back at Marie Curtis.. this time with a new pack including Sparky, Princess, Molly, Maddie, Megan and Muskoka. the ladies took over the park, leaving paw print trails behind. next, Odin, Nelly, Ben, Belle, Cookie and Dutch were off to the lake! each dipped their paws in the crashing waves against the rocks.. a wonderful landscape for our walk!
Jake & Dixie then joined Joey, Simon, Maddie and Harley for an active romp, that involved tugs of war, chases & cuddles :)

what a day! blind melon says it best with 'no rain'

Harley took pals Simon, Maddie & Megan for a morning stroll.. we explored the new scents & sounds of the neighbourhood as we trekked around. next.. Jake, Dixie, Odin, Nelly, Princess & Sparky were ready for a doggone good time! along our ventures, we came across many pups with whom we shared a friendly sniff, a wagging tail and even a game of fetch. and the rain held out!

Afrodyte was excited to head out for her midday walk.. she wasn't too interested in walking too far, but took in the fresh air & misty air! and we're still in luck with no rain!

Muskoka, Belle, Ben, Jasper, Cookie and Otto checked out Colonel Samuel park, after a bit of a hiatus. not too bad.. the dogs enjoyed the new smells & change of scenery. there was another pack at the park that added to the fun! the wind is blowing, but still no rain!

Muskoka tagged along on Watson's afternoon walk. he sniffed her out and made a friend. the pups trotted along for a nice romp! we we're ready, but in luck.. no rain!

fingers crossed, the rain holds out for Hunter's walk.. and it did! as we were headed back, the rain started to come down but we made it back, just in time! 

back at camp, Simon & Maddie tugged over toys, while Harley fetched his heart out!

the A Dog's Way pack welcomes Nelly & Sparky

Muskoka, Princess, Molly and Belle welcomed new pack members, Nelly & Sparky, with open paws! we took our treks to the lake for midday romp. every pup got a good sniff of the newbys.. even our friends from the park. Nelly was ready to play.. with every dog, while Sparky got her cuddles from the people. the ladies were active and enjoyed their post long weekend walk!
Megan, Simon and Harley joined Hunter for a sunny afternoon stroll. Hunter was excited for his company and showed them the way through his 'hood!

and what a good friday it is! happy easter!!

Abby & Simon arrived Friday to join Harley at Camp A Dog's Way for the weekend. we headed off to the etobicoke creek for a hike & swim. we explored the nooks & crannies along the trails that follow alongside the water. what a beautiful spot...feels like we're out of the city! we are looking up at the steep gorge as the water flows over the rocks, stones & pebbles in the creek.. surrounded by beauty! the sights & sounds are calming & we all enjoy! :)
this picturesque path was our landscape for walks all weekend long! on saturday, we multi-tasked, stopping in at our bank that always look forward to seeing the gang. on sunday, we worked up our easter appetite with a jog to and through our new fave spot! the pups went for a swim as I took it all in!!! :)

Joey joins the fun.. all day long!

this morning started bright & early for Harley & Joey with a fun run. the pups panned out beside me and jogged their hearts out, loving every minute! our first stop was humber bay shores west park.. labs, Odin, Belle & Joey jumped in the water for a dip before heading down the path to the park. Ben & Cookie took off running, while Lila and Dutch followed the crowd in. it was a great walk filled with fun frolics & familiar faces :) our next stop was through the fields by the humber river.. Muskoka, Princess, Maddie, Megan, Molly & Joey spent their afternoon tossing around sticks, venturing through & sniffing out new spots. the ladies were greeted by many dogs along our travels and enjoyed the company! Joey was then joined by Harley, Hunter, Jake & Dixie for a romp at Marie Curtis park. Joey was social meeting everyone around, while Harley & Dixie stayed nearby. Jake was fetch obsessed and gave the ball a good chase! Hunter explored, keeping a close eye on the pack as walked around. our day was filled with happy trails & happy tails! :)

happy monday!

Harley & Maeva were snoozing in the sunshine all morning. Harley threw his hoodie & collared up, ready for his day out with the pack and mum! :) first, we were off to greet Hunter.. we took a stroll around the neighbourhood, changing up our regular route. Hunter enjoyed the change of scenery, sniffing out new spots. next we were off to pick up Lila, Belle, Dutch & Ben and then headed to high park. we trekked through, keeping at a good pace and making good ground. after that, the ladies Muskoka, Maddie, Molly, Megan and Princess joined Harley for a romp in the fields.. the sunshine was bright & warm, shining down on us as we ventured!

week-o-fun

our week was filled with adventurous treks through parks & trails.. each pup from the pack enjoyed adventures, making their own paths. my week was filled with lots of laughs and sloppy kisses ... I adore my crew and they all keep me happy & healthy! I am so lucky :)

Harley was spoiled rotten this past weekend with a trip up to cottage for sunshine, campfires & cozy snoozes. he shared an evening with a couple of his fave tails, Lincoln & Kaya, taking it easy & keeping low key .. and then enjoyed 'only pup' time on saturday evening, Harley was in heaven! we celebrated earth hour round the campfire, unplugged & at one with nature. home sweet home ... to top off the weekend, we went for a 5km jog. we all slept well after an awesome weekend, excited for the adventures that this week will bring!
