I am SO BEHIND in my intros but there’s no better way to kick off the weekend ahead than with these two sunshiney-faces!

Everyone, please welcome Edward (brown brindle) and Sophie (white and red) to our pack! They have an active family, including a brother and sister who are on the go a lot these days with soccer and volleyball, so I get to hang out with them when their humans go out of town!

I was quickly initiated into the family when Edward took one of my shoes and wanted to carry it around with him. I can’t tell you how loved I felt by that. Sophie is a lover-girl and wants endless pets and belly scratches, but honestly so does Edward, so that meant very few pictures when I was hanging out with them because both my hands were full. 🥰

They are both rescues and even though Edward has sad, soulful eyes, I know how happy he is to be loved by such an amazing family (I have a pup with those same kind of eyes, too). And Sophie can’t contain her joy most of the time, so there’s no guessing with her!

Thank you, Crump family for trusting TCE with your precious fur-babies! I can’t wait for the next chance to keep them company!

This was a tough one. On Wednesday, my first ever walking client (who also happened to belong to my aunt) had to be put down because of a cancerous tumor that was keeping her from eating and was not believed to live through the surgery to remove it.

Sadie was such a gift for so many reasons. When my uncle passed the summer of 2024, Sadie was there to keep my aunt company and gave me a consistent reason to see him in his final year of life. I got to know my aunt better over the last year and a half because of her, and learned how to be a more responsible dog-walker. Sadie made me feel so special every time I pulled into the drive as she wagged her tail, then met me at the door to greet me.

I got to love on her and learn all of her funny quirks that got sillier as she got older. On Tuesday night, I went over to say goodbye to her and give her the last of my love. She sweetly sat in my lap while I cried over her, and let me kiss her on the head over and over again which she typically didn’t allow. The final picture I took of her was the last picture in this post—looking out at me through that window before walking away as she realized I was leaving. She will always hold a really special place in my heart and was a tough one to lose.

Hug your babies as tight as you can as long as you have them. We will always make sure that we do, when they’re in our care. ❤️

‼️‼️‼️‼️BIG NEWS‼️‼️‼️‼️

That’s right—TCE has THREE openings for our weekly walks! We haven’t been this available since we started the business! 🤯

If you or someone you know hates the cold and know your dog could still use the exercise, we are ready to face the low temperatures for you! If you’re busy all day and you just want to rest when you finally make it home or get off work, let us take that burden off of your shoulders!

Spread the word!

01/07/2025

SPREAD THE WORD! This is huge and something that so many people need to take advantage of!

01/04/2025

2024…you were good to us. But only because we have the very best clients anyone could ever ask for! We love you all and we can’t wait to love on your fur babies throughout 2025!

We had the honor and privilege of getting to know these three cuties for a few days leading up to Christmas (and adding them to our TCE pack). 🥰🤗 Now for the intros:

From left to right (in the first picture), we have itty bitty Maggie, Mr. Finn and Miss Fish!

As I’m sure you can imagine, Maggie may be little, but she is fierce. She is a force of love and cuteness, and she can also hold her own with her bigger siblings. She loves to play with Fish! She also loves belly-rubs and snuggles!

Finn is next on the list, and he is a nervous little guy at first, but he settles in nicely. He is so precious… You just want to protect him at all costs. He loves to play ball, wants love and affection and is very happy to sit in your lap.

Last but certainly not least, Fish is a pitbull mix, and as such, she is all love and excitement! She loves to be the center of attention, and wants to be wherever you are. She is a good little guard dog and she loves her family very much. Her favorite past time is giving kisses and wagging her whole body in excitement (hence the name—she looks like a fish flapping about!)

Altogether, this crew is so sweet! It was so much fun to earn their trust and become safe people for all of them! Being able to provide comfort to these babies while their favorite humans are gone means the world to us! Emma, thank you so much for tag teaming this job with me, and Emmalee, thanks so much to you and Colby for trusting us with your fur babies. We know how much they mean to you so it means the world to us!

We hope you and yours have had a wonderful Christmas Day and a fun and restful holiday season! I know the fun isn’t over for many of you and I hope the rest of your time is heart-filling!

“Twas the night before Christmas,
and” I am not ready 😕

I’m sorry, everyone. Most of you will not get your client gift until after Christmas. And that’s just for those of you who were new to TCE in 2024…I dropped the ball on returning (from 2023) client gifts. All I have to offer you this year is a card 😢

Did this particular Christmas come super fast or is it just me? 😐

It wasn’t that long ago that I introduced TCE’s very first tripod pup, Mollie McCarty. Sadly, this post isn’t so joyful. Just under a week ago, her sweet human Sue McCarty passed on from this life. She left many heart-broken family members, especially our Mollie girl. Sue was absolutely in love with her canine companion and I know Mollie felt just the same about Sue. I had no idea that when I said goodbye the Friday before the 16th that I wouldn’t see or talk to either one of them again. (I hope you humans know that as much as I adore and get attached to your fur-babies, I enjoy getting to know you all as well.)

I didn’t know Sue long, but it doesn’t take much time to be able to see the goodness, generosity and love in a person’s heart. She was very good to me in our short time of working together. After losing my own Grammie in October to Parkinson’s, Sue was such a sweet grandmotherly comfort to me.

Miss Mollie is going to able to stay in the family which brings me so much relief for her. I can’t think for very long about how pups must feel and think when their humans pass away unless I want to work myself into a depressing spiral, but I do know that Mollie is loved so much. And I hope her final years on this earth are filled with joy as she receives love from all the people she knew best other than her mama, Sue. I won’t be walking Mollie anymore, but she’ll always hold a special place in my heart, and so will Sue.

This is Hatch! He and I go way back to before TCE when I was working a different job, but this is his first time with us since I launched the business and went full time with The Crate Escape!

This little beagle (the first and only beagle in our clientele) is SO SWEET and SO HAPPY. He loves a good walk, and always wants it to be a little longer than it is in reality. He loves to be cozy and all cuddled up, he has a healthy appetite, he loves making friends with other pups, and he is so good and gentle with his small, human siblings. He’s an all-around good boy, and we are so happy to officially welcome him to our pack!

12/18/2024

She’s not new to the pack, but it has been a while!! Eleanor Ivy is a sweet, happy, center-of-attention kind of gal. Shes a large golden doodle, and boooyyy does that golden retriever silliness come through. She’s one of the cuddliest, loving dogs I’ve ever met and she follows you around like a shadow. She enjoys long walks (but not too long…a girls gotta get her rest..), lunch meat and cheese, wedging herself up against you as you sleep, belly rubs and all your attention.

12/16/2024

This is Roger. He is the cutest little old man doggie you have ever seen. Apart from being blind and deaf, you’d never know he’s a man of many years because he gets around so well and seems to have a lot of energy! He is soooo precious. He does get a little cold from time to time, so I thought it would be a good idea to get him a sweater. Also because you can’t be Mr. Roger without a solid sweater…

12/14/2024

This wasn’t my first time getting to hang out with these two, but I realized I’d never introduced them!

Riot (Belgian Malinois) & Nara (black pittie mix) belong to Shilee Irwin-Pearson at ! Shilee personally trained my two pups (really, she trained me to be able to train my pups) & let me tell you—she’s the real deal! Originally hailing from Nebraska, she moved down here a few years ago & I can’t believe we have someone like her in Amarillo now!

If you know anything about Belgian Malinois, you might see them as the breed that police & special forces often use for all sorts of jobs. These dogs can climb trees, run for hours, jump unbelievably high & were bred for the purpose of working and job with high demands. They’re highly intelligent & beautiful athletes, & can make the best companions, but it takes knowledge, dedication & a lot of patience to get them there. They have become more popular because of movies and TV, but few people understand the responsibility that comes with having a dog of this caliber. Of course, Shilee was fit for the challenge & Riot is the sweetest, goofiest, best trained Mal I have ever met personally! He lives to please his mama!

Nara, who is a pit bull/pointer mix, was a rescue & she came with her own challenges, as many rescues do, but she is the biggest lover-girl around. She wants to be on top of you, in constant contact with you & giving & receiving affection at all times! She’s a little more stubborn & strong-willed than Riot, but she’s also very well trained as well!

Shilee provides some of the same services that I do, like walks & drop-ins/let-outs. She also offers overnight care, and IS able to board dogs unlike us at TCE. One of the things I’ve loved most about working with & getting to know her is her heart for the animals & setting them up for success. She & I are both of the conviction that there’s enough to go around for all of us who provide similar services as one another & at the end of the day, we just want people & their pets to find the right fit & receive the care they deserve.

If you need training, boarding or other services, look her up!

This intro is a fun one! The Peterson family joined The Crate Escape family last weekend when their humans went out of town for a couple of days! This crew, which consists of 2 dogs and 5 cats, was easy to fall in love with because they are ALL affectionate and want to be loved on by the humans around them.

The patriarch of the fur-kids is Benelli, the yellow lab. He is 13 years old, and though he’s a little slow on his feet, he’s very quick to wiggle his way into your heart 🥰 The matriarch of the furbabies is Graycie, the one that looks like a lioness. She just turned EIGHTEEN. You’d never know it apart from learning that she can’t jump up onto surfaces and has to be picked up and placed on them. Otherwise, there’s never been a more graYceful (see what I did there??😉) example of aging than this kitty! Banshee, the hunk of brindle love, is playful and down to clown but is just as happy to lay down next to you and get endless pets. There are two black male cats—a slender one named Django and a plumper one named Tito. They’re both very loving and ready to rub their little faces up again whoever will let them. Fiona, black and white, likes to tag along with Django (from what I could tell in my short time with her), and Veronica (white with grey stripes patches and green eyes) is more aloof upfront, but once you are around long enough, she wants to be apart of the gang too!

Dalana and Lee, thank you for trusting us with your beloved furry family members! It was so fun getting to know them and we look forward to our next opportunity to hang out with them again!

We were hard at work over Thanksgiving break and it’s about time we introduce some of our newest members that we got to spend the holiday with!

Elvis (white and red) and Dolly (tri-color) are our very first Basset Hound babies at The Crate Escape! They are both about a year old, and they are as cute as they look 🥰

They’re the very best playmates and you can find them snuggling, chasing after each other and wrestling or fighting one another over the human in the room giving all the scratches and belly-rubs.

Sweeter than pumpkin pie and more hilarious than a turkey gobble, we’re happy that we get to love on these two in the years to come!

Sky (blonde) and Zuma (brown) have a human sibling on the Bushland football team so while the family was away watching the playoff game, TCE got to love on them!

They are half Cocker Spaniel, half Poodle and 100% adorable! They were named after Paw Patrol characters and it seems they know their namesakes because when someone enters the house, they are on guard! Once they know you’re one of the good ones, their barking turns to tail wagging and kisses.

Sadly, their brother’s football team didn’t advance past the round they played on Friday, but these two are forever members of our pack, now!

Amy, thank you for letting me love on these cuties!!

We have lots of new pups to introduce as new members of The Crate Escape fam, starting with Poppy Sanders!

Her dad was the founder and original owner of Hummers and is a dog-lover, through and through. He’s recovering from a knee-replacement so TCE gets to walk Poppy until he’s back in dog-walking shape!

She’s a rescue and it’s very clear who her hero is—her dad ❤️ She’s as attached to him as any bond I’ve seen between a dog and a human, and they make a great pair! I get to be a part of teaching her that even though I take her out in the neighborhood to get exercise and her dad isn’t with us, we will always return home to her favorite person. She’s the cutest little talker, loves fetch and belly-rubs and can be found in her dad’s shadow. TCE loves her soooo much already. ❤️

It’s one of our very best girl’s TWELFTH birthday!!! She is the epitome of happiness and making the best of every situation. She brings smiles to our faces and comfort to our souls when we get to hang out with her. Also, look at how she is literally showing her outfit to us as her mom takes a video…she’s the best. We love you, Sadie Nanners! Happy birthday!!

#adayinthelife starring Lylli! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

In case you’re having a case of the Mondays on a Tuesday, here’s this cutie. I can’t tell you how many times I would look over to find him in his own little world, laying on his back with his toy in his mouth, growling to himself. Oh, to be Eddie…

Talk about #wearabledevices…this is one I think we could all agree on. It’s been a while since we got to spend some time with the Reimer pups, and in the time that has passed, little Daisy isn’t so little anymore! At least not like she once was, but she’s still small enough to wear like a neck pillow!

…and there’s nothing wrong with that! Just made me chuckle the first few times he went potty on our walks. 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

Sometimes, you’ve just gotta back it up… Sadie here doesn’t feel so sure about hardwood or tile floors and she’s developed a habit of turning around and entering the living room booty-first. It’s hilarious and adorable to watch! Every pup truly is soooo unique and I am so lucky that I get to witness all the little quirks and characteristics all of my client’s display!

Pardon all the throat clearing…but sometimes you just have to make the announcement anyway. more details to come, but TCE is adding another option for our clients. Thank you for trusting us with your beloved, furry family members. It’s been a while spring break, but without all of the busyness, we would not have realized there’s another way for us to take care of your babies. We hope everyone is enjoying the last few days of their spring break, and that everybody who has gone elsewhere has a safe trip home!

This is a late #sundayshenanigans and #mancrushmonday post rolled up into one. These boys tie for both! Goose (yellow lab) and Cash (Australian shepherd) love to party hard on our walks. If you ever pass us while we’re walking and are lucky enough to witness one of their hilarious bouts of self-walking, booty-first hopping or tug-of-war, just know that this is part of our routine, now. 😂❤️🦮

I think we can all agree that we could use a 5-pup dog pile to keep us warm in these temperatures…

Jumping on the Wrapped train with this one! It was so fun to make, and it was honestly surprised by the numbers, myself! We are soooooo grateful for your support. Happy New Year! I had a tag limit so I’m sorry if you’re not included!

Pouncing on hump day like it’s our job, over here!
