It is with deep sorrow that we share that one of our bright lights in our dog walking family is now guarding the gates of Heaven. Bentley joined our family in 2017. Rain or shine, handsome and kind, he always brought the sun and fun, and never ceased to be generous with his love. And when he moved away with his family one day, his imprint on our hearts remained. While some will say his time on this earth was a long 15 years, to us, it was still too soon. To know this perfect gentleman is to have experienced much wealth and privilege. While we mourn, it brings us peace to know we have only to dream to see him again. So off to his next big adventure with the Angels he goes, undoubtedly earning his wings pronto, we know! May you rest, oh sweet friend of ours. ❤️🪽

On this scorching Southern California day, our puppy client spotlight shines bright today on Spud! Tiny but mighty, his innocent "can-do" attitude is quickly conquering the ways of the potty, nailing his ABC's of obedience, and making the walls of his man cave crate a practice in independence. Always keeping his adventures in puppy training positive no matter its twists and turns, he lends to the idea that the "water bowl is always half full! " Go Spud, GO! 🥇🚰🐾
