Two Bernadoodles walk into a bar...when Meisje met Bille. Meisje is a big sweet love bug. She is polite - makes you feel like a million bucks when you arrive and sometimes likes to give me good arm workouts with her strength. She commented one day when I spoke to her about it that she was concerned I wasn’t doing enough weight work in the gym. Always helpful. And little Billie here is now big Bille. 1 year old today! Happy Birthday 🥳💙💜

And here is PATRICK. Great guy. Our friend Meg helped us out one day and when I met up with her I had Pat. Then she flipped out and said she did his puppy visits! He is a sweet man and loved by all!

If you have a minute, please read. We’ve been doing this a long time and like one of my favourite sayings goes, honey works. ❤️

I came across this picture. It’s not my best photography but makes me laugh. This was what our back seat has looked like on the way to family Christmas for years. Cooper and Kali have rang in Christmas. New Years and Coopers New Years birthday many times. They would cuddle in the back together - play. Love all of our families etc. We have so many pics of Cooper helping our nieces and nephews open gifts. He’s so helpful. And Kali just grabbing a seat at the table when someone got up. 💙💜

Missing Stanley McKee today. Best boy. He was just the sweetest dumbo around. And yes he could be naughty sometimes. But frig, true love always. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

08/06/2020

Amos and Bird. Great friends just like their Mamas. I’ve written about Amos before. He was very special to us and spent many a Christmas with the McLacqua family. Alex and I often laugh about the trio of terror, him Stanley & Wrigley and the chaos they are causing at “the bridge”.And Bird. He was so a sweet sweet soul. Bird never knew there was any bad in the world. He loved to party. We boarded him once and him and I slept back to back for a week. We were the same length when he stretched out. Miss these guys. 💙💜

Saturday night. Impulse control out the window when I came across this pic! Big Pete. A friend and a legend. When I met Pete through years ago I thought him and Stan would hate each other. The opposite happened. Turns out they are the same dog. It’s been such a pleasure to have laughs with him through the years. And then Penny. My sweet angel Penny. She parties. Keeps everyone in check. And is a model for 💙💜

05/06/2020

This fine lady Miss Maude 💜💙. She is a legend. Everyone loves Maude. She’s never been one for fitness but loves to have a laugh and liver. We have so many funny Maude stories. Always up for a good time. 💜❤️

05/06/2020

Our good friend Garry. We met Garry when he was just a wee boy and this week we got an update from his mama that he got neutered - congrats!! Garry is a bit of a Houdini - which to be honest has impressed us. Lisa worked hard with Frankie, Jerry & Poppy & Stevie to get Garry used to walking in a crew. We miss him and can’t wait to catch up. There’s not question he’s got a lot of growing up stories we’ve missed out on!! 💙💜

My girl Akira ! I started walking Akira about a year ago. She is a doll. She’s not a huge fan of canine companions so we keep it simple and solo. We get our steps in together, we have some snacks. And she gives great hugs. She is an instant confidence booster for me because she loses her mind when I pick her up. Thanks for the great marketing and life coaching Akira! 💙❤️

Saturday night in a pandemic. What’s to do but look at this gang. We are so sad to have lost Oscar in the last few weeks. He was our second client. The most lovely. He once caught at mouse at our old apartment. angel who is one of the sweetest souls we’ve ever known. She’s moving soon but her family are good friends and we will visit often. Tucker and Patel. Best of friends. Wonderful folks who take care of each other Love my Euclid crew so much 💙💜💙♥️💙💜

29/05/2020

And then there is Howie. He’s wee here but he is mighty. Alex and Howie hit it off right away. He started with puppy visits and worked his way into groups seamlessly. He’s got some good camp counsellors in his crew like Emmie & Shep & Gary who have shown him the way. 💜💜

28/05/2020

Wild woman Gracie! Gracie is one of the smartest pups we’ve spent time with. She figured out how to open her crate. Then she figured out how to open the carabiner on her crate. It was so much fun watching her grow up from puppydom. She once redecorated their Christmas tree. Gracie moved to Ottawa a few years back and we miss her and her wonderful family (but we stalk them on Instagram) 💙💙

27/05/2020

My good Pal Bella. I started walking Bella privately about a year ago now. She’s a complicated lady and not a fan of others of her species. But I get her. Is anyone great at mood regulation? When you know her and if you’re human she is one of the most loyal sweetest souls ever. 💙💜

26/05/2020

We’re not just walkers. We’re house hunters too. Wrigley’s mom is a friend of ours and she mentioned she was looking for a new pad. I knew Rezo’s people were leaving their place so I connected then and gained Wrig as a daily walking bud. Wrigley likes his groups treats and peeing on every. Single. Post he can. A small man but wow he can put the brakes on a whole group when determined to whizz on a pole 🤣💙💙

26/05/2020

Oh everyone hey! This is Max. His predecessor Mitzi was one of my first clients ever. She was a sassy German Shepard who loved hanging on her walks. MrMax joins us once in a while. He prefers to get ALL of our attention and stick to one on one walks. He loves food. Is Squirrel motivated and loves to have a laugh. We love him and his fam. 💜💙

21/05/2020

Jerry & Forest. Jerry is hilarious. Everyone knows Jerry! Forest is one of the finest ladies ever. We walked her, her first couple years of life and then her and her wonderful family moved out of the area! We miss her! 💜💙

20/05/2020

My mom reposted this today. It was a long weekend and we loaded up and headed to da bay. Felix, Cooper, Rezo, my brother Norman, Shep and Stanley eatin bacon on my folks back yard. 💜💜💙

20/05/2020

This is a very classic shot of this lot. Emmie being perfect because she knows the treat in my hand will land in her mouth first. Honey Bear jumping not stop, not getting it - just wants the treat. Diva poised eye on treat and ready to give Honey a what’s what if she jumps again. Mo sniffing so he can mark every part of that fence and Charlotte. Too cool for school. She’s not my monkey. 💙💜

19/05/2020

Ruthie. Such a sweet lady who loves a snack. Ruth was with us from her teenage years. She stayed with us when her folks were on vacation once and she spent a lot of her time trying to manipulate Stan into cuddling. It worked once or twice. She has moved to the east end - but we’re still in touch. She’s a great pal! 💜

18/05/2020

This picture makes me laugh because it’s so Stevie. Stevie is such a good influencer and brand ambassador! She goes bonkers every time she sees one of us even though Lisa does most of her walks. She is a sassy lady. Her and party George love each other as do we all! 💜💙🙌

17/05/2020

Poppy & Bonnie. Party gals and great pals. Bonnie has moved out of the area but it was so fun getting to know her she started shy then got her sea legs quickly!!! Poppy has always been a confident lady and welcomes anyone anytime into her walkin crew! 💜💙

16/05/2020

Duke. Duke walked with us for years, 5 days a week until him and his folks moved out of the neighbourhood. Duke was not one for fitness. My mom and I often laugh about once they came to Toronto and pulled up and I was walking Duke in a group of dogs and Duke was trying with all his might to get into the car. Duke is a comedian and made us laugh every single day. 💙💙

15/05/2020

I think this is around 2011. And wow. A lot of legends in this one. Halifax one of the sweetest boys ever. And we walked his littermate jake too. Tuna, party gal. Eugene, boss of everyone. He once ate an entire sandwich through the barrier in the car, also had found him on our table with a hot cookie in his mouth, and in the open dishwasher more than once. Silver! Stan and her had a wedding once. Elton our old neighbour and friend eyeing his girlfriend Maggie who is one of my besties dog. Sweet lady. Stan ❤️, Sanford best ever greater, Digby wild child. Ivy our neighbour and such a lovely party gal. Her and Maggie and Willa would run for hours. Murphy sweet man, wild child who matured into a sweet man and Fergus - big brown eyes that make you melt every time 💜💙 Happy long weekend

15/05/2020

Little Miss Moira. Moira is the welcome leader in her group. She is so excited when you arrive. And she welcomes everyone she walks with, with open arms. She is a love bug. And has many neighbourhood fans. I was once walking her and a couple stopped me to let me know that they have water on their porch just for Moira 🤣💙

14/05/2020

Java & Piper. This is a long one. Warning. We met these ladies back in the day when they’re mama was here working and pops was still in Kingston. Right off the bat it was love at first sight with them and the whole family. They have camped here many a night. Java knew she would get eggs in the morning. Piper kept her pact to make sure our floors were always spotless. Java passed away recently and I got to go say bye. She was just the sweetest soul. When she slept here she would not let Alex or of her sight and wedge herself on the ground under our bed on his side. Piper and Stan we’re bonded in the weirdest way. One day I came down and they were just gently licking each other’s faces and taking turns. I’ve never seen Stan do that with anyone! They’re folks are doctors and bless them! They sent US pizza and beer a few weeks ago as a Thank You! We love the whole fam. 💙💜

13/05/2020

The Coop! Cooper! Coopy. Cooper is one of the funniest dogs we’ve ever walked. He has spent so much time with our families over the years. One time he surprises us when he jumped into the pool at Alex’s sisters house and retrieved every single floaty. He loves to roll in the snow. Loves a snack. He would let Stan use him as a pillow. And he’s become a great big brother to his rowdy sister Billie. And his people are just wonderful - Its funny how close you get to people in this biz 💜💙

12/05/2020

This is Juan Pablo. He started with us last year. When I first met Juan he was a shy guy. But we managed to charm him. Lisa worked hard with him and eventually we had him strutting the streets with the Laidlaw/Joe Shuster gang. He is handsome. And lovely. And when he’s decided it’s time to go home. It’s time to go home 💜

11/05/2020

Guys! We walk stars! Honey & Mo’s mama is Deb on Scott’s Vacation House Rules and Honey & Mo made an appearance! Love these bozos so much.

11/05/2020

A client/friend just sent this to me. And yes. It’s late on Sunday. And I’m sure if you follow us you get how much we miss Stan. But you’re a friend. And I think that most of you understand how much we miss him and will have no problem liking this one. Love y’all 💜

10/05/2020

Stanley & Fergus. We met Fergus and his mama when he was just a wee kiddo. Fergus is a sweet soul, we’ve had many laughs with him through the years. He was a 5 day a week walker for years but now just comes to the ranch for home stays since he moved out of our area. We’re in touch often and is always a thrill when he arrives bc he is so excited and knows exactly where he’s going ! 💙💜

08/05/2020

Luna & Pepper. To know Luna is to feel more comfortable calling her Luna-tic. She is a fun loving sassy girl. If she is ever a bit slow on the walk I assume her Ruth, Bizzy & Cora have been texting all night about the best new flat irons in the market. She is most perfect combo of sweet and party. We always have a lot of laughs! Pepper! We’ve known pep’s people since 2008 when we started walk her brother who has passed Taz. Taz was a special guy and Pepper the total opposite of Taz ! Pepper loves to embarrass me when her people are home and not come. But that’s ok bc it gives her mama and me time to chat and solve all the worlds problems. Love both these classy ladies ❤️💜

07/05/2020

Alex just came across this picture. I think it’s 2009. I couldn’t wait to post it. These dogs in this picture wow. We laughed that when Stan passed this crew would all be at the gates ready to party. Amos & Pickles I’ve talked about in other posts. Stan, love of our lives. Digby doodle. A lunatic in the best way. Alex reminded me of when he was a pup and if you had a (used) p**p bag in your hand he would run by and grab it and get all the dogs to chase him. Then Wrigley. The other love of my life. Wrigley, the first time I laid eyes on him it was love. I used to walk him at 7 am bc his Pops was Andy Barrie of Metro Morning. We became good friends with his family and when Wrigley became too much for Andy he moved in with us. He loved to hump. Stan loved to boss him around. 💙💜💙💜💙

07/05/2020

They Walk Dogs legends. Tuna and Snax. We started walking these guys over a decade ago, while we were starting out. Thank you for the referral! Firstly, Snax shirt says “does this shirt make me look fat” (I think). Snax is an interesting lady. Never one for fitness, she is the boss. And that’s that. Tuna loves fitness! She is such a sweet lady and we had many laughs over the years. They’ve moved to Milwaukee now, and yes I’ve seen them on social media cheer for the bucks but deep down I know they’re forever Raptors fans 💜💙

06/05/2020

O’MALLEY Hunter & GUIDO. Catch me if you can. O’MALLEY is such a funny guy. He plays it cool til he unleashes his party guy attitude at the park. Hunter is a sweet dude from the neighbourhood. And GUIDO we’ve known since puppy good. He loves lisa so much. 💜💜

05/05/2020

Millie as a puppy and my very special pal Bosley. Millie has moved to the east end but it was so fun hanging out with her in her youth. She was a wild child, and met her match in Bosley. Anyone who knows me, knew Bos. Bos and I had a lot of laughs together over the years. He was a frequent house guest and everyday walker. Once he decided it would be funny to start hu***ng me as we passed a patio in King Street. What a comedian..the entire patio started cheering him on and Bos was pleased with himself. Miss him very much. 🤣💙💜

04/05/2020

Here’s a throw back to 2016
Tucker, who is one of the sweetest lads we know. Already ready to get his steps in. Shep is a pup here. He was such a good pup. Though, his hips didn’t lie. He likes to hump. A lot. Ocean who now lives in France and spent many a night on our couch. Kylie our neighbour who has left the neighbourhood but she was a wild woman. And TEAGUE who passed away a couple years ago. A very sweet man who really crushed on molly and Moira hard. A friend of mine once called him the Ryan gosling of dogs. He is missed 💜💙💜

02/05/2020

This is an impulse post, so if I’ve left you off. I apologize. I love you. I’m just a girl with ADHD and saw this picture of Stan in a hat with and it made me think. I hope our favourite things pull through this. We can’t really support people the way we day dream about because we’re not working but thought maybe I would shout out incase anyone wants to. Though, if I know our clients. Everyone is doing their part. Thank you to all the check in texts and gifts and love Alex and I have gotten. And we check in on Lisa. We promise . Anyway. Some of our favourite things:
I’m sure I’ll add in through the day but 💙💙💜💜

We miss these two! Carling and Charley we’re both long time neighbours. Carling was such a sweet boy from the time his Ma & Pops got him. Stan loved to boss Carling around. Then, Charley. She was a wee pup when she moved in next door. And grew up to be a sassy queen. Carling moved out of neighbourhood and Charley is now living the life in Northern Ontario. 💜💙
