A little bit of news to share. Troy and I will be adding a baby girl to the family early next year. We are excited for this next chapter and all the joy and craziness she will bring to our lives! 🥰
It will mean some Tailwaggers Ottawa changes, so while we adjust to our new lives, boarding will be closed for the months of January and February. Following that, we will be limiting our numbers to a maximum of 2 dogs at a time.

Bluto was left at the shelter. He was pretty depressed. No one came for him and being in the kennel in a shelter that is overwhelmed with dogs and cats was not easy for him. He wanted to be with people, comforted and wrapped up like a burrito.

Bluto almost did not make it out because we have so few foster homes and shelters do not have an infinite amount of space for all of these abandoned animals. It is like this everywhere. People's desire to get dogs the moment they wanted without thought to the future has created a serious issue and now animals are paying with their lives because there just are not enough homes. This applies to dogs, cats, rabbits, ... you name it. We are not here to lecture anyone, just to say, when you know better, you do better, so think long and hard before you commit to a life.

Bluto is doing better. He's happy he found his amazing foster mom. He does need entropion surgery (to fix the eye lid which is rubbing and hurting his eye) which is not a surprise as Shar Peis (and mixes) tend to suffer from this. It will cost money but we will fundraise our butts off so this guy, twice failed, will get a happy life. This is a commitment that should have been promised by his breeders and owners, but is now left to shelters and rescues to manage.

Times are tough but that's when these guys need you most. Consider becoming a foster (www.sitwithme.ca/foster), or spread the word by sharing our posts, attend/participate in our ongoing fundraisers (fall auction, trivia, santa paws market and purdy's chocolates!), and if you are in a position to, please donate to help dogs like Bluto so they can live and be loved (https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/sit-with-me-rescue/).

The problems we create can be fixed by us, too. It just has to matter enough to all of us to make a difference.

Nova Scotia Earthubbers!

We are trying to help spread the word about the Red Bear Healing Home organization's Used Cell Phone Collection Campaign. I can bet that many of you have a used cell phone, still in working condition, in your nightside table or "junk" drawer. You think you might be able to use it or sell it one day but alas, it has been sitting there for over a year (sorry, it can't be just me?! 😅). The Campaign is seeking gently used cell phones that can be dropped off at the Annapolis Valley libraries during operating hours in Kingston and Middleton, Nova Scotia. They will be given to people who cannot afford a phone, most of whom are homeless. If you are outside this specific area, please email [email protected] for a drop-off location. Let's divert some more items from the landfill and get them in (re)use!

This month marks Tailwaggers Ottawa’s 7th Birthday!🥳 It has certainly been a whirlwind! We have met so many amazing dogs over these 7 years that we’ve got to share our home with and welcome into our family. There have been LOTS of cuddles, no doubt! There have also been sleepless nights, endless days, missed holidays and soooooo much p**p! We’ve grown, we’ve minimized, we’ve survived a pandemic, made necessary adjustments along the way and I could not be more grateful for all of my amazing clients who have stuck with me through it all! Your pets mean more to us than you’ll ever know. Which brings me to the heartache part of the job. These dogs (and cats we visit!) really do become a part of our family so when I get those heartbreaking rainbow bridge emails, we feel each of those losses and mourn with you. ❤️
I would be remiss if I didn’t thank my family for their endless support through it all! And most importantly, my husband, who not only accepts our home being my 24/7 business, our holidays being planned around dogs, dirty floors on messy days and allllll of our furniture being dog friendly including our bed, but he also loves your pets as much as I do! ❤️🥰 So Happy Birthday to us and here’s to many more with all of your animals! ☺️
