Had the chance to visit the most iconic lighthouse of the Maritimes — Peggy’s Cove! Lots of new smells, met so many kind people and enjoyed the adventure of climbing the big round rocks.

Minnie’s favourite spot to be these days….in the garden hoping to catch some water or a stray strawberry 😂 (Minnie is the momma to our mini-Bernedoodle puppies)

The temps in SW Ontario are soaring and feels like 39C!! Biscuit has found a way to BEAT THE HEAT! 🔥 Volume ON, he sounds a bit like Pac-Man 🤣

Willow went for her very first puppy groom! Under all that fur they found some beautiful long eyelashes! 👀❤️

Beautiful, adventurous Willow is now Nyla. This little crusader was determined to see and experience life outside the confines of the box — aka the puppy pen. I’ll never forget the moment I unexpectedly found her exploring our home, encouraging her littermates to follow suit 😂 (check out reel from March 7, 2024!). Nyla’s curious spirit brought us so many laughs and giggles. My daughter cuddled her like a little baby and she absolutely soaked all of this attention up, loving every moment. Super long eyelashes, and such a beautiful soft coat. Nyla is sure to bring joy, excitement and adventures to her new forever family!

Our sweet London boy 🥹🤎 — when I sat down to write this mini-biography and started thinking about London’s character traits, I had one of those “wait a minute” moments. I’m not sure how it never occurred to me sooner, but one of the things that really stands out about this boy is how quiet he is. Kind of like working in stealth mode 😂. He often reminds me of his momma, especially when it comes to nighttime. He thoroughly enjoys fresh cold air, relaxing under the stars, soaking up everything that a quiet spring night can offer. In the daytime, he loves to play among our log pile and bury his nose in the cool dirt. Such a cutie!

Max is now Mozzie — maybe because he kind of looks like Fozzie bear! Mozzie may be a brute in size (weighing over 16lbs just under 8 weeks of age!), but he is the biggest soft-hearted snuggle puppy there can be. Pick this guy up and place him on your lap, and he will soak it all up while giving the best puppy dog eyes. Another pup with our amazing Bernedoodle temperament — happy, social and playful. When Mozzie was just a wee guy, he had the tendency to be a bit vocal like his momma and liked to talk!! Very curious to follow this boy along as he continues to grow, as he definitely has pulled some of the Bernese traits from the gene pool!

Meet Biscuit!! Formerly known as Kelce. Like Kelce, Biscuit is top-notch — looks, personality, and that puppy charisma. This little man is going places, and by that we mean the big city of Toronto! His happy-go-lucky and playful spirit, along with his social yet ‘chill’ temperament will be a great fit for his newest lifestyle and adventures that await him.

Absolutely adorable. I know I’m not the only one thinking this, right!??? She’s just so dang cute!!! Sooo stinkin’ cute. This is our petite sweetheart Taylor, now named Sushi! Just a little ball of fluff that has that teddy bear look PERFECTED!! Sushi is happy and playful, with a relatively calm and quiet demeanour. She loves doing the cute little head tilts and will be stealing the hearts of everyone she meets.

Our ‘Swiftie’ girl (Swift) has now been named ‘Scout’ in honour of her mother 🥰. Have I ever mentioned how smart our puppies are??? This little sweetheart has some stellar insightfulness and was one of the first to decide she wasn’t going to fall for the trick of “following the pack and her momma” back into the house after outdoor time. She happily trotted along, stepped up on the deck and then sat to watch the others naively trot back into the house, while I scooped them up and placed back into their pen. Nope!! She wasn’t going to be fooled by any of that 😂

Everyone who is thinking of getting dogs should read this because you need to understand this reality of adding a life long family member.

***I am a 21st century dog.***
-I'm a Malinois.
Overskilled among dogs, I excel in all disciplines and I'm always ready to work: I NEED to work.
But nowadays I get asked to chill on the couch all day everyday.

-I am an Akita Inu.
My ancestors were selected for fighting bears.
Today I get asked to be tolerant and I get scolded for my reactivity when another approaches me.

-I am a Beagle.
When I chase my prey, I raise my voice so the hunters could follow.
Today they put an electric collar on me to shut up, and you make me come back to you - no running - with a snap of your fingers.

-I am a Yorkshire Terrier.
I was a terrifying rat hunter in English mines.
Today they think I can't use my legs and they always hold me in their arms.

-I'm a Labrador Retriever.
My vision of happiness is a dive into a pond to bring back the duck he shot to my master.
Today you forget I'm a walking, running, swimming dog; as a result I'm fat, made to stay indoors, and to babysit.

-I am a Jack Russell.
I can take on a fox, a mean badger, and a rat bigger than me in his den.
Today I get scolded for my character and high energy, and forced to turn into a quiet living room dog.

-I am a Siberian Husky.
Experienced the great, wide open spaces of Northern Europe, where I could drag sleds for long distances at impressive speeds.
Today I only have the walls of the house or small garden as a horizon, and the holes I dig in the ground just to release energy and frustration, trying to stay sane.

-I am a border collie
I was made to work hours a day in partnershipwith my master, and I am an unmistakable artist of working with the herd.
Today they are mad at me because, for lack of sheep, I try to check bikes, cars, children in the house and everything in motion.

I am ...
I am a 21st century dog.
I'm pretty, I'm alert, I'm obedient, I stay in a bag...but I'm also an individual who, from centuries of training, needs to express my instincts, and I am *not* suited for the sedentary life you'd want me to lead.
Spending eight hours a day alone in the house or in the garden - with no work and no one to play or run with, seeing you for a short time in the evening when you get home, and only getting a small toilet walk will make me deeply unhappy.
I'll express it by barking all day, turning your yard into a minefield, doing my needs indoors, being unmanageable the rare times I'll find myself outside, and sometimes spending my days sunk, sad, lonely, and depressed, on my pillow.
You may think that I should be happy to be able to enjoy all this comfort while you go to work, but actually I’ll be exhausted and frustrated, because this is absolutely NOT what I'm meant to do, or what I need to be doing.
If you love me, if you've always dreamed of me, if my beautiful blue eyes or my athletic look make you want me, but you can't give me a real dog's life, a life that's really worth living according to my breed, and if you can't offer me the job that my genes are asking, DO NOT buy or adopt me!

If you like the way I look but aren't willing to accept my temperament, gifts, and traits derived from long genetic selection, and you think you can change them with only your good will, then DO NOT BUY OR ADOPT ME.

I’m a dog from the 21st century, yes, but deep inside me, the one who fought, the one who hunted, the one who pulled sleds, the one who guided and protected a herd still lives within.

So think **very** carefully before you CHOOSE your dog. And think about getting two, rather than one, so I won't be so very lonely waiting for you all day. Eight or ten hours is just a workday to you, but it's an eternity for me to be alone.

❤️

Mr. Gibby is now a Max! MAXimum cuteness overload!! His sweet personality exuberates an abundance of happiness and joy. He has grown so much in the last couple of weeks — both in size and character. He cannot wait to greet us first thing in the morning, and often cannot decide whether to get some snuggles first or run outside to play. We just love him so much and know that his new family will be over the moon with him!

Oh, Willow (previously Cornelia )💕
You’ve been such a petite little girl right from the beginning, dainty in every way. Patient, happy and playful. You have a special spot in your heart for children and love to give them so many little kisses. Tomorrow you embark on a new journey and we know that you are going to bring so much laughter and happiness into their family.
