This weekend is about giving thanks.

(These are only a few of my wonderful clients — I’m so grateful for all of you! 🤗🦃)

Grateful for a roof over my head, food on the table, and my angel Phoenix who fills my days with love. ❤️

Thankful for all my wonderful clients — the four-legged ones and their amazing owners — both new and returning. Your trust and support mean the world to me. 🐾

The world moves fast, but today I’m pausing to appreciate all that I have. Gratitude brings peace, and my heart is full. 🌸

Laurie had an emergency, so I squeezed in an extra visit with sweet Dayzei 🐾

She’s one of my weekly regulars and has grown so much—once timid, she’s now calm and confident on walks 💛

At just 8 lbs, I let her lead the way to help her feel safe and in control in this big world 🌎✨

Many of you know I'm a proud Doodle mom 🐾
This weekend, despite all my usual precautions—early walks, early playdate, shaded routes, shorter outings—Phoenix managed to injure her paw. 💔 We’re not sure if it was a cut, sting, or something else.

I brought her to Heritage Veterinary Hospital on Lorraine Ave in Stanley Park. My regular vet wasn’t available, but I was so grateful they had an opening—and even more grateful for Dr. Magan and the kind team at the front desk. 🙏

No judgment. No guilt. Just support.
As a professional pet sitter and dog walker, I hold myself to a high standard—always doing what I can to go above and beyond. So when something like this happens, it’s hard not to ask: What could I have done differently?

But the truth is—sometimes, things just happen. 💛
What matters is how we respond.

Phoenix is on the mend now:
🛁 Epsom salt soaks (with a plastic cup!)
💊 Anti-inflammatories + rest
🍖 A few extra treats, kisses

We’re taking it slow, and she’s already feeling better.
To fellow pet parents and entrepreneurs: be kind to yourselves. You’re doing your best.

To all my fellow dog owners—I get it. I’m one of you. 💛
