Hiking with Denali and Starr

We went hiking a few weeks ago with Denali and Starr and their human, Jen and HM kept forgetting to post about it!

cute bums on the trail!

Denali meeting a Ridgeback like Nala!!

Meet My Pal Bronson!

I had a play date today with another Manchester Terrier named Bronson!

He has cropped ears, and I have natural ears!

Bronson has nice chest rosettes. Mine faded away. :o(

We went to Toto Dog Park in Mississauga, Ontario. What a furtastic dog park! It was fully fenced, with a huge field, a wooded area and an agility field!

there were some good smells at the park!

we took turns roaching in the grass

Medieval Times Dog Park Fun!

My Pal Dude!

So the new "un-official" dog park near our apartment is a fully fenced ball park. IT ROCKS!! There is lots of action every night with some great dogs! Meet my pal Dude. Dude is a Goldendoodle (even though he looks mostly retriever).


We have become great friends! He loves to play "catch me if you can" and we just have lots of fun together!

HM got some video of us together...we got a hold of a water bottle and were playing tug of war with it.

Labour Day at the Beach!

What a great way to spend the long weekend Monday! Denali, Starr and I had our humans take us to the beach today!!




We spent the afternoon frolicking and sniffing LOTS of dogs and dipping our toes in the water too!


Hope you all had a safe a happy Labour Day weekend!!

Dog Park Redemption!

So....HM was in a good mood...she took me BACK to Trinity Bellwoods off leash dog park! She felt she wanted to see if I could redeem myself, and have a good experience, and also to work on our recalls from a play group.

We went early in the morning, thinking there might be a smaller amount of dogs, and an easier time to do some training in the park with the distractions.


She was VERY happy with me! When I was playing or running with another pup, and she called me (or whistled or used my squeaky Wubba) to get my attention, I came back and got a nice treat or tug of the Wubba for it! We didn't stay long, as she wanted to leave on a good note, before it got too busy. But all the dogs were really good...so that helped me be good too! I romped with a couple of Chocolate Labs, a Doberman, a Husky (who was a little naughty...so HM made me keep my distance from her) and some cool "all-Canadian" mixes.

Yay! I love the dog park and socializing, so I know we'll be back!

New Dogpark!

So now that I'm living in downtown Toronto, HM has been wondering where I'll burn my energy AND get to 'wrassle' with some local dogs.

The answer: Trinity Bellwoods Park. HM has heard this park had a good off leash area, so today she FINALLY took me to it! She was a little nervous, cause another local park, Stanley Park which is sort of an "un-official" dog park...well, we had a bad experience there a few nights ago. There is one section that is a bit open and I got spooked by a Basset Hound and took off through the opening out of the park! I stopped outside the fence..but naturally HM was super scared.

The Dog Bowl

So today, she decided to try Trinity Bellwoods...to see if it was going to be a good place for me to get my zoomie on!

Boy was it!! (although...it wasn't without incident either...)

View of Dog Bowl from the top of the park

It's at the north end of a large park that includes tennis courts, bike paths, a big kiddie park, greenhouse, etc. A really big greenspace in the middle of the downtown area.

The off leash area is called the "Dog Bowl" cause it's literally in a bowl like crevice of the park. So the dogs are less likely to run out/away. "Less likely". Unless you like to play the game of chase...*ahem* like me.

Me, with a JRT and a cute Lab puppy

So we had some fun, I met some cool dogs, big dogs, little dogs...all friendly....then 2 young girls come down to the park with a red Min Pin. This little guy was still on leash...something I've heard you shouldn't really do in an off leash, cause he can get defensive as all the off leash dogs are coming for a sniff and he can' properly meet/greet while on leash.

Of course, I headed up the meet/greet party..and the dog started to spin around and around it's owner...tying her up a bit. HM saw his fur go up too...just as she was going to ask the owner to untangle but carefully watch her dog, and perhaps get him away from the situation...she popped off his leash and with all of us sniffing him...he bolted!! Well, to me, he said, "CHASE ME!!"....so I did..and he went right up the hill and out of the park!! "Oh FUN!".


HM...NOT HAPPY....she and the Min Pin owner gave chase and the little Min Pin took us into the parks parking lot where it's car was. The game ended there. HM caught up to me...a bit mad...and put me back on my leash!! I mean, this dog WANTED me to chase him, non??

She brought me back to the park..just to let the other owners know we weren't hurt or run over by a car. Not sure if I'll be going back. I hope so..it was FUN!
