During the winter months, pet waste removal can occasionally get backed up if fresh snow falls the day before service. In these cases, it may be best to wait until the next scheduled service (for weekly plans), but I’m always open to coming out on the weekend if the conditions are safe and it makes sense to do so. If a snowstorm is forecasted on your scheduled service day, you can request an earlier visit to prevent the waste from being buried. I understand that some clients may not mind waiting a little longer, and in such cases, I use my best judgment. I prefer not to come out and charge for just a single pile that can be seen, but I’m always happy to accommodate your preferences and adjust as needed. When the spring time hits don't forget I offer to do winter cleanups with a flat rate of 50$. 😀

Happy Monday friends and the start of another beautiful week to find inspiration. After having an uncomfortable slip and fall this weekend I'm not overly motivated but can still find some beauty in creativity. Creativity is one of the most fascinating things to witness, and be a part of. Creativity is essential for all of us to break repeating thought patterns, for innovation, and forms of self expression. There are many health benefits when we engage in creative activities and every single one of us are one of a kind artists with different ways of perceiving the world. There's such wondrous magic bringing new thoughts into existence. Here are a handful of profound quotes I enjoy related to Creativity.

Mysticism is just tomorrow's science dreamed today. ~Marshall McLuhan

Zoom in and obsess. Zoom out and observe. We get to choose. ~Rick Rubin

Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will. ~George Bernard Shaw.

People say I have created things. I have never created anything. I get impressions from the Universe at large and work them out, but I am only a plate on a record or a receiving apparatus — what you will. Thoughts are really impressions that we get from outside. ~Thomas Edison

Imagination is more important than knowledge. ~Albert Einstein

Happy Monday friends and the start of another week ! This week's motivation is all about Focus which is probably the most important internal mechanism that should be exercised in order to live the life you want. Everyone is after our attention and it's important to not get lured into the noise. This week's quote was just aired on last week's episode of Survivor which I really enjoyed because it demonstrates that in order to achieve our goals we need to be able to dissect the useful information from the useless chatter. If you're looking for ways to improve your focus, I might suggest joining Niagara Falls Archery Club off S***m Rd. A great quiet place to practice focus 🎯. Here are some other motivating quotes I enjoy related to focus.
Oh and thanks Chase for the smiles!

"The only thing we can truly control is where we place our attention and where we place our effort. Choose wisely. " ~Andrew Huberman.

“The mind is a powerful tool, but only if you learn to control and direct it. The first step to mastery is to focus and immerse yourself in the work.” ~ Robert Greene

“Society runs on people not knowing what they want out of life.” ~Dan KOE

Silence is the language of God. All else is poor translation ~ Rumi

"The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another." ~ William James

As always I am incredibly grateful for all of the support over the years. I am not currently looking for new clients and if I'm not answering any phone calls it's not because I'm playing cat and mouse and playing hard to get. It means I am unavailable and I'm ensuring I'm staying focused on my regular clients. I also work at UPS part time and am extremely busy this time of year especially with the strike at Canada Post. I am a one man show that is managing everything and although it may appear I have all the bells and whistles when it comes to this business it's more nuts and loose bolts. This service is something I started because I wanted to do something bigger than myself and absolutely love everything about it. I do have plans for 2026 where things might take a huge pivot but in the meantime I am happy to share my engrams of tips that I found useful to anyone that would like to start a dog walking service. Here is a list of individuals that offer the same services as me that I trust. Please support individuals, their heart will assist you better than any app or corporation.

Happy Monday friends! Todays motivation for the week is the pursuit of Truth which is a highly complexed, layered, and often elusive topic. When we embrace truth whether it’s about the world, our circumstances, or ourselves we free ourselves from the chains of denial, fear, and deceit. Truth invites us to live authentically, to be real, and to find peace in what is. Truth is not always easy. In fact, it’s often the hardest choice we can make. It demands courage to confront uncomfortable realities, to admit when we are wrong, have humility, patience, and an open mind. Truth is often limited to each persons unique understanding but when it’s something we uncover together, through dialogue, exploration, and reflection it unites us all. Speak the truth, even when it’s hard. Live the truth, even when it’s lonely. Share the truth, even when it’s unpopular.

Special thanks to Doc for being displayed in this weeks motivation!

There are so many fantastic quotes about Truth but here are some of my favorites.

"In seeking absolute truth we aim at the unattainable and must be content with broken portions....Each one of us may pick up a fragment, perhaps two, and in moments when mortality weighs less heavily upon the spirit, we can, as in a vision, see the form divine. ~William Osler

"Truth is a process not a final destination. The former requires humility and curiosity. The latter dogmatic certainty. There's always more nuance and wisdom to discover, through empathy and reason." ~Lex Fridman

"A model is a lie that helps you see the truth" ~ Howard Skipper

"If the truth shall kill them, let them die" ~ Immanuel Kant

"It was not the truth they wanted, but an illusion they could bear to live with" ~Anis Niu

"We are never definitely right, we can only be sure we are wrong." ~Richard Feynman

Happy motivational Monday friends. With today being Remembrance Day it feels appropriate to make this weeks motivation about Memories. Memories are absolutely fascinating because every experience is a message left by a past version of ourself that is remapping how we make sense of the world. I don't want to get to philosophical because it would require a deep dive which we should stay focused on remembering and honoring those that sacrificed for what we have today. What we should find motivation in is what engrams do you want to leave to your future self and to humanity's collective future. It is wonderous to imagine that every act as benevolent communication event to a future being.

Special thanks to RJ and Gunner for being the face of this weeks motivation.

Here are some other profound quotes about memories:

"Life can only be understood backwards but lived forward."
~Soren Kierkegaard.

"Can you imagine they use to have libraries where the books didn't talk to each other"
~Marvin Minsky

"A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices,"
~William James

Happy Monday friends and the start of another beautiful week! What better way to ignite some motivation then to look at the most profound aspects of existence. The more I learn about quantum physics, biology, and psychology the more wonderous love gets. Love arises from a complex interplay of psychological, biological, and social factors but I also believe it mostly originates from the mind. A recent study I found interesting with regards to romantic love was that in almost every relationship one person is afraid of losing their own identity while the other is afraid of losing the other individual. Which shows that attachment is necessary but being to attached can lead to controlling and fear promoting behaviors. No matter the type of love I often view it as two energies floating through darkness that collide and begin to collaborate their own dynamical story. Love is at its best when there are no expectations and is a beautiful thing to pursue while we are here.

Special thanks to Sophie for actually letting me get a beautiful picture of her for this weeks motivation. Here are some other profound quotes about love 💜❤️💛

"There is only one serious question. And that is: Who knows how to make love stay? Answer me that and I will tell you whether or not to kill yourself.” ~ Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker

“Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.”
Aristotle

“The love we give away is the only love we keep.”
Elbert Hubbard

"Love does not dominate; it cultivates." — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

"I'm an Earth Rover here to create here to experience and here to manifest the love." Bruce H Lipton

Happy Monday friends! with the beauty of the seasons changing I find it to be an appropriate time to find some motivation within change itself. So many people are resistant to change and I wonder if it's because of the paradox that faces us all: if we do not change, learning and growth is impossible. If we do change, does not the current Self cease to exist, in an important sense? Are we attached to closely to the idea of our current self and afraid that if we change we no longer exist? Creatures that solve this Zen like riddle don't just persist they thrive. It's quite amusing to look back at moments of my own life and being able to pin point the moments of real serious change where former versions of myself simply vanish because of a change in mind. Special thanks to Epoch and Gus for sharing their smiles with us ! 💜
Here are a few other inspiring quotes I enjoy related to Change.

The moment you change your perception is the moment, you rewrite the chemistry of your body. ~ Bruce Lipton

If you can change your mind you can change your life ~William James

"The measure of intelligence is the ability to change." Albert Einstein

"The past is a foreign country they do things differently there" ~L. P. Hartley

"You are equal to the spirit you understand" ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Happy Monday friends! What better way to find motivation for the week then focusing on the one thing that makes life so worthwhile. Having healthy social connections is vital for our own mental health and finding our own identity in the world. It's also important that we invest and surround ourselves with the right people. This quote by Connor McGregor is a beautiful reminder about loyalty and to share your time, energy, and resources with people who are there for you even during the hardships. There's such beauty in those that take the time to understand one another and I am incredibly grateful for all of my friends and the chance to make new ones everyday 🙏 Here are a few other quotes I find provoking about friendship.

"Of Course You Are, And I'm Coming With You!" -Samwise Gamgee

"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together" -Unknown

"The only way to have a friend is to be one." – Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Friendship is the highest form of love. It is a love of mutual respect and affection without the intense emotional needs of romance." – Plato

The best mirror is an old friend." – George Herbert

Special thanks to Ruby and Tilley for being in this week's motivational poster 💜🐾

Happy Monday and the start of another beautiful week. This week we're finding Motivation with Jersey understanding the importance of perseverance. This quote "Let the dogs bark Sanco. It is a sign that we're moving forward" is attributed to Don Quixote however it doesn't actually appear in any of his work. It evolved as a theme from his writings which makes it even more interesting. It suggests that those who are barking (or complaining) are disturbed by movement or change, but it’s important to carry on regardless of their noise. I find this to be an incredible reminder of ignoring criticism or the opinions of detractors while continuing on one's path. Each of our minds are uniquely cultivated by our environments and experiences and we should embrace the beauty of these inner twinnings. Here are a few other inspirational quotes about the importance of perseverance.
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." – Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Genius is eternal patience." – Michel de Montaigne
"Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines, but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes." – Buddha
"The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph." – Thomas Paine
"It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not" - Andre Gide
