As Otis’, Coco’s, Oakley’s, and Oslo’s Toronto dog walker, I inevitably adore them and share the excitement their parents feel when their dogs hit milestones, whether they be birthdays, behaviour goals being realized, you name it! SO this is truly an exciting week at K9 Kate’s. Oakley the Golden Retriever and Coco the Mini Goldendoodle both turned 2. I’ve walked both dogs since they were puppies and can say that they are exceptional dogs; both confident, sweet, playful, a dog walker’s dream. Oslo, another Mini Goldendoodle and best friend to Coco, turned SIX MONTHS OLD yesterday!!! Like Coco and Oakley, I’ve gotten to know Oslo since he was a baby. We did puppy visits and boarding until he was as of age to join the adventure dog walk. Oslo is such a good, sweet boy. I miss him terribly and can’t wait to see him when life gets more normal again. Last up, the big O to the T.I.S (OTIS!!) turned 7 years old. This standard poodle joined K9 Kate’s a few months ago after being referred by a longtime dog walking client and I’m so happy he did. Otis is a blast in the dog park. He loves to run, is consistently engaged, sweet, and movingly thrilled by running offleash. In such a precarious and difficult time for everyone, I feel so grateful to be able to see and spend time with the dogs and to have such a special week of birthdays in place. Stay positive, safe and healthy, and keeping loving your dogs to the moon and back, everyone!!
