Woofstock 2013

A few weeks ago my sister, my mom, Cheico and I went to Woofstock, which is a huge festival for dogs that is located in St. Lawrence Market in Toronto. This years event had a huge outcome, there were so many dogs of all different breeds. Its so awesome to talk to other people that love dogs just as much as I do! It seemed like the most common dog breed at the event were pugs! They were literally everywhere. There were also a lot of chihuahuas, which Cheico loved! 

There were an endless amount of booths that I wanted to visit. We got lots of free goodies as well! I met so many interesting people that I had great conversations with. Cheico also got an adorable spray-on tattoo!

Overall my family and I had a blast at the event and I would recommend it to any dog owner/lover. If you do attend, make sure to wear comfortable footwear and have cash on hand.

Harness for small dogs

A few years ago at a dog festival in downtown Toronto called Woofstock, I came across a company called Buddy Belts that sold dog harnesses specially made for small dogs. Small dogs have very small tracheas, which can potentially be dangerous if a regular collar is worn. The company invented a special harness that does not rub against the dogs neck.

The story of the company is quite unique, the creator of Buddy Belts saw her miniature Dashaund choke and cough when she would walk her using a regular collar. So she decided to design her own harness. Buddy Belts is an all Canadian company!

We bought Cheico one 3 years ago and he has had it ever since. It has held up wonderfully, I was surprised at the quality. Buddy Belts are made with premium leather, which is one of the reasons why it lasts so long. Prior to wearing it for the first time, spray your Buddy Belt with a leather protector spray to repel water and stains. If your Buddy Belt gets wet, allow it to dry flat at room temperature. Never put your Buddy Belt in the washer or dryer!

I would recommend that every small dog owns a Buddy Belt. Whenever I look after a small dog that doesn't have one, I always suggest to the owner consider purchasing one.

Walter & Kitty

Currently I have 2 pets staying at my house, Walter and Kitty. Walter has definitely been one of my favourite dogs to look after, he is so playful and energetic! Its going to be so sad to see them go!

Walter loves going on long walks and he is very friendly with other dogs, which is a major bonus. The cutest thing about him is how his little teeth show!

They were wonderful guests to have over during the holidays :)

Here are some pictures

This blog is dedicated to document each dog that I look after, detailing what they do on a day to day basis at my house. That way, people will know what their dogs will be doing when they come and visit my house!

So far I have looked after about ten different dogs. I have looked after golden retrievers, boston terriers, and chihuahuas, just to name a few. It has been such a pleasure to look after these dogs. I love that I have the opportunity to meet so many different dogs and take care of them. I treat them with tons of love and follow exactly what the owner tells me to do.
