Monday 5th
Today we had 2 walks and a cat sitting session.
We had a small group today there was Jaida, Riley and Casey. The weather was perfect so we headed to Cherry Beach for some fun.
We worked our way around the paths and ended up splashing around in the lake for a bit. There were tones of dog walkers in the park today so there were lots of kids for them to play with.
We don’t go down there enough, it’s a great park and there are fantastic views of the city.
Jaida did her usual mix and mingle with the other dogs and dog walkers. She spent a majority of the time trying to keep her tail out of Riley’s mouth.
Riley was his usual self running around picking on the girls and having a blast! He was sniffing everything, jumping in the water and running around like a crazy person.
After an extra long outing we packed up and headed back home. We got some great pictures today for you to enjoy:

In the afternoon Jaida, Casey and I went to pick up Diva for her afternoon walk. We took our caravan over to pick up our final pack member Bogart. Once we were all there we walked around the area, up through the school back down through the park and around again.
Everyone was squirrel crazy today!!!!! Bogart was being a stubborn little bum and didn’t want to hang out with the girls.
After we had given Diva enough to laugh about we started to drop off route.
First Casey got picked up to head downtown with Henry to take Riley home. Next we dropped off Diva then Jaida. Finally Bogart and I went for a bit more of a stroll now that it was just the two of us ending up at his place to drop him off.
During the last session of the day I was cat sitting with two lovely kitties Callie and Shock. Both cats were out and about when I got there and were more than happy to cuddle with me while their mommy was away.
Tuesday 6th
We only had 1 walk today and two cat sitting sessions.
I started out the day with the two cute and cuddly kitties Cali and Shock, they were happy to see me and we did some good bonding.
For our group walk we had Riley, Seamus, Pepper, Jaida and Casey. We headed to Sunnybrook to explore and exercise.
The park was hopping! There were SOOO many dogs and walkers it was crazy! We headed back to the paths and the creek at the beginning of the session so the dogs would be dry by the time we went to leave.
It is so nice by the creek. The trees are changing colour and the leaves are falling, it’s very peaceful and colourful. That is until the dogs start rolling.
Pepper was playing fetch running up and down the creek after the ball. She lost the ball a couple times and it took a bit to get her looking in the right direction. She is persistent! She does not give up until she gets that ball!
Seamus was running down the creek, back up the path, over to the other side of the creek and around again. Of course he was doing his crazy growl as he was running and was going so fast you had to get out of his way or you’d get knocked over.
Riley just had a hair cut so we wanted to try and keep him clean... easier said than done. He didn’t get fully wet which was great but he did do his fair share of running and jumping and splashing. He is such a goofball.
Jaida poked around on the side of the creek jumping out of the way as Seamus came roaring through and trying to keep her tail out of Riley’s mouth. She splashed around a bit and got her feet wet.
When we were good and tired we headed back to the park. We visited with the other dog walkers and dogs in the park and chased and fetched and ran until we were ready to go.
When we had everyone rounded up and on leashes we were looking for Jaida... she was at the other end of the park hanging out with another group of dog walkers and dogs. What a girl she is so independent and social it is adorable.
The last thing we had to do is take Riley home in the afternoon and check in with Callie and Shock one last time for the day.
It was a super fun and relaxing day, a nice change after last week’s craziness. Talk to everyone tomorrow.
Wednesday 7th
Today was another semi slow day for us. We had 3 walks and the cat sitting.
It was another lovely morning with Callie and Shock, they were happy to see me and did some cuddling before I headed out.
For our group walk today we only had Seamus and Riley. Since it’s the first Wednesday of the month Casey had her Pet Therapy visit so she was not going to be going on the walk.
We decided to take Seamus to Sunnybrook by himself to run around and play then Riley would come with us to Burlington and go to a park there.
Seamus had a fantastic time running around, visiting with the other dogs keeping busy. We were lucky there was no rain just the wind to deal with, glad that Seamus is a big doggie so there was no chance that he would blow away.
When Henry got back we packed up and headed to Burlington.
Riley got to meet Casey’s teammates before we began our visit and then Henry and him headed for a local off leash park. Henry said it was a nice big park and apparently was newly open. Riley had a couple golden retrievers to run around with so he was good and pooped by the time they came back to pick us up.
Casey had a great time with her visits; she got lots of belly rubs and rolled around on more than one bed. She was so tired when we finished up but made lots of seniors very happy with her lovable personality and silly howl.
When we got back to Toronto we dropped off Riley and headed home to take out Diva and Bogart.
I walked Diva and Casey around the neighbourhood while Henry took Bogart to Sherwood.
Diva had a touch of puppy in her today. We ran into Gizmo and Prince in the park and were catching up when Diva started to play with Gizmo’s ball. We threw the ball and Diva bolted across the lawn to grab it... by bolt I mean walked quickly with youthful exuberance.
She then caught the ball and played keep away from Gizmo for a bit. After a couple minutes of her bouncing around, I stopped her so she didn’t overdo it and hurt herself. She had a great time and was so happy to be out and about.
After a short stroll back home we said our goodbyes and I headed out to wait for Henry and Bogart.
Bogart had a blast at Sherwood. He met a couple dogs in the trails back in the woods and ran and chased each other for a good portion of their outing. He did do some off roading through the fences but came back to Henry without too much trouble.
Once they were back we dropped Bogart off and headed out to see Callie and Shock for their last visit of the day. Callie cuddled up with Henry and Radar tickled my feet.
Our last walk of the day was a quick pee break with Bobby. We took a nice stroll around the block visiting with local dogs along the way. He’s such cute little guy, always makes me happy when I see him.
It was a windy and LONG day but a great day, can’t wait to do it all again tomorrow. Talk to everyone later.
Thursday 8th
Today started off like all others this week with a visit to Callie and Shock. They were happy to see me and we did some hard core cuddling.
We had 3 walks today.
The group walk was a big walk consisting of Tea Cup, Jaida, Riley, Seamus, Missy, Biggie, Sushi and Casey.
Since it was a large group and it was a bright sunny day we headed to Winston Churchill park where there is a good fence and lots of room to stretch our legs. Also there are always lots of dogs to goof around and play with so it’s the best location.
When we got there Jaida and Riley were off chasing each other around in big circles.
Seamus was mixing and mingling with some of the bigger dogs in the park (our crew is too tiny for his liking). He played some rounds of fetch and ran around like a mad man from one end of the park to the other growling along the way.
Jaida was the welcoming committee for all new dog packs that entered the park. She would run over and say hello and then proceed to walk around the park with them until the next group arrived. She took time out from her duties to play some rounds of fetch when there was an available ball.
Riley took turns running around with Tea Cup, Casey and Jaida plus mixing with some of the other dogs in the park. He also took a dip in a nasty dirty mud puddle; he jumped around like a bucking bronco and was having a great time. I was not as excited ;-)
Tea Cup was great today, she did spend a lot of her time with Henry walking around the park but she actually played tag with Riley a bunch of times and mixed and mingled on her own with the other dogs. She is becoming so brave the more she visits the off leash parks.
Missy was a busy girl, she circled the park a number of times and would come over and check in on the group to see what we were up to. Usually she just watches tennis while we play but not today she was a social butterfly.
Biggie waddled along behind me for most of the outing but as usual he was the hit of the park. A bunch of the other dog walkers were loving him up and giving him kisses. With his little legs he gets lots of exercise when he works his way around the park. He was a busy boy today.
Sushi was wearing her Sunday best today! She was sporting a cute little sundress... again she was being loved up by the other dog walkers! She was a busy little girl, running around visiting the other dogs and taking care of Biggie. She is a great big sister ;-)
Casey... well she was her usually self... picking on Sushi, running from Riley and basically hanging out with me.
Henry was having words with a large bull dog that would not share his ball... it was very funny ;-)
Next I met up with the lovely Diva for her afternoon stroll while Henry took Riley home. It was a really nice afternoon. We went for a long walk to soak up the nice weather before it turns ugly this weekend. Diva has had a spring in her step this whole week, yesterday was a ball, today she chased a squirrel!!!
When I was done with Diva I made my way over to check in on Callie and Shock. It was lovely to hang out with them at the end of a very busy day. They were both happy to see me and took turns getting back scratches.
Our last walk of the day was a quick pee break with Bobby then it was time to go home for a rest!
It’s been a long day but a great day, I’ll talk to everyone tomorrow.
Friday 9th
Ugh Rain... again!
Thank goodness we only have 1 walk today!
We started out the day visiting Cali and Shock. It was nice to have some cuddle time before heading out into the rain.
On our walk we had Tea Cup, Pepper, Riley and Casey. We decided that since the weather was terrible we would pick up Riley and go to Riverdale Park to toss a ball and run around.
It rained the entire time we were out ;-(
Pepper spent the entire outing running and playing fetch. I really don’t think she noticed the rain at all; she only has eyes for that lovely green tennis ball. She didn’t stop once the entire time we were out.
Riley was not so happy to be out in the rain. When you first come in there is a really big hill. He spent the first 10 minutes sitting halfway up the hill looking sad and small... a little grey dot in a sea of green. I went over and rescued him then got him running.
Tea Cup was surprisingly busy! She ran around and followed Henry. Once Riley got out of his funk the two of then started chasing each other around the park splashing through puddles. I didn’t think Tea Cup had it in her.
Casey joined in Riley and Tea Cup’s game of tag from time to time but mainly was off exploring by herself.
There weren’t very many dogs in the park today but we mixed and mingled with who we could.
Once we were good and wet we packed up and headed home.
The only other outing for the day was the afternoon visit with Cali and Shock and a new cat sitting session with a new furry friend Charlie. Henry is taking on Charlie while I wrap up with Cali and Shock.
Henry had a good time playing with his new friend, they got along really well and did lots of bonding.
Cali and Shock were happy to see me as usual; they did their best to warm me up on this dark and dismal day.
The week is done and this weekend is going to be a busy one. Stay tuned to read about our adventures.
Talk to everyone tomorrow.
Weekend 10th,
11th
It was Thanksgiving weekend and it was a busy one!
Since it was a long weekend we had a lot of cat sitting appointments plus we were having a doggie slumber party!
The day started out with my last visit with the lovely Calie and Shock. They were happy to see me but were even more excited to see their mommy come home that afternoon!
When I wrapped up with Calie and Shock I dropped off Henry at Charlie’s and headed down to pick up the kids and feed the cats. The kids are going to be staying with me while their mom is on vacation for a couple weeks.
Henry and Charlie had a great time together. They did lots of petting and bonding, he’s a very charming kitty.
The kids were happy to see me, once I got everyone fed and packed up the kids and I headed out to pick up Henry and head home.
In the afternoon I picked up Belle for our exercise session then she was staying overnight for a sleepover. It was a fantastic day so we stayed local and went for a nice long walk in the area. We headed to Blythwood ravine and strolled up to Alexander Muir Park just south of Lawrence.
There were lots of people out taking pictures and enjoying the sunshine. In the gardens, families were having family pictures taken because it was a perfect day.
It was a fantastic walk and Belle was good and tired by the time we got home. The kids were so excited to see her and we all snuggled together for an afternoon nap before heading out for a dinnertime walk.
Finally Henry went to visit Charlie while I went to visit KitCat and Casper to give them their dinner.
The last walk of the day was a pee walk with Diva before bedtime.
The kids had a great slumber party with Belle. She kept steeling Casey’s duck and tossing it around the bed getting Casey all upset. It was super super cute.
The lovely part is that at 4:30 in the AM Belle had to go to the bathroom!!! Away we went then back to bed. Oye sleepy!
On Sunday we started out the day with Henry visiting Charlie and me visiting KitCat and Casper.
In the afternoon we were taking Bobby out for a session along with Belle. We went to Sunnybrook and it was a perfect afternoon.
Since Belle has been a little aggressive lately Belle, Casey and I went for a nice long walk back through the trails while Henry and Bobby played fetch in the park.
It was so nice back on the paths; Belle and Casey ran around like crazy people and chased each other through the mud. Once we were nice and dirty we started to head back to the park. When we got to the park we hung out for the last little bit while Bobby continued to play fetch then we packed up and headed home.
Next I had a nice afternoon walk with Diva while Sushi, Casey and Biggie tagged along. It was starting to get cold at this point but we stuck it out and had a great walk. We met up with some of the local dogs who strolled around the block with us.
Once we were wrapped up we went on our next outing with the adorable black lab Radar.
We decided to divide and conquer. I dropped Henry and Radar off at Winston Churchill Park while I went to do my cat visit with KitCat and Casper. It was getting dark and that park has lights so it’s very handy.
Henry and Radar played lots of fetch and Radar had fun visiting with some of the local dogs that came through.
When they were done we took Radar home then we were FINALLY done for the day!
It was a crazy long weekend and we were lucky with fantastic weather. It’s a nice change from rain that we suffered through all week.
I hope you had a safe and happy Thanksgiving and we’ll talk next week.
