Cynthia Lafrance's Dog walking/Promeneuse de chien

12/23/2024

Hey everyone!

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted here!

Life took a big turn when my son was born, so I had to step back from dog walking for now. While I’m keeping this page up just in case I return to it in the future, I wanted to share something new I’ve been working on.

I’ve recently started a Facebook and Instagram page all about our family adventures as we explore our new town and beyond here in Quebec (and a little farther out too)!

It’s been such a fun journey discovering hidden gems, and I thought you might enjoy seeing this reel I’m sharing today. It's a rare find – a dog-friendly accommodation, which is not always easy to come by!

If you're into exploring, family-friendly travel, or discovering new spots, follow along with us! We’d love to have you join the adventure. 🤗✨

Le 13 août à l’âge de 13 ans, notre Snoopy d’amour nous a quitté de façon subite.
Même si l’on savait qu’il vivait sur du temps emprunté depuis deux ans… La tristesse que nous vivons par son départ est immense!

Merci Snoopy d’avoir fait parti de nos vies!
Avec toi nous avons vécu tellement de rires de pleurs et d’émotions!
Tu as été un chien extraordinaire et ton petit caractère grincheux mais à la fois tant attachant nous manque déjà.
Nous t’aimerons toujours! Xoxo

Bonjour à vous!

Je ne sais pas s’il y a déjà des gens de Valleyfield qui me suivent ici?

Comme vous savez je n’habite plus à Aylmer depuis plusieurs mois.

Je songe à une façon de pouvoir continuer ma petite business éventuellement sans devoir avoir une gardienne pour mon garçon William…
Ce qui rend le tout assez compliqué.

Je me demande si je ferme complètement cette page ou bien j’essaie de poursuivre en donnant le services de visites lors de vos sorties/ voyages.
Ce service ne serait pas seulement pour les chiens et devra être flexible pour les heures de visites puisque je ne peux guarantir d’heures précises.

Sinon pour les promenades de chiens pensez vous qu’il y aurait une demande entre 5 et 9 pm? Ou très tôt le matin entre 6:30-9?

Merci de vos conseils! 🤗🤗🤗

Hi everyone!

I just realized I kept a huge secret from you all!
We got so busy and didn’t realized how fast things went but…

It’s been 3 weeks that we welcomed our son William!

Our little guy decided to come wayyyyy earlier then expected at 35,2 weeks!
He was born on the 2nd of april at 6 pounds 2 Oz and 48 cm!
He is a healthy little guy and is the most lovable chilled and easy going baby already!

We spent a week at the hospital because he had a bit of jaundiced and low glucose at birth as well as a little tong tie that is now all fix and gone!

We are happier then ever to be new parents and we can’t express how much love we have for this little guy already!!

You might have a new little dog walker with me when I will get back at it (probably not before next spring 2024!😅🥰

For now we will enjoy every little second of him growing up wayyyy too fast already!!

Officially 34 weeks pregnant and already on my maternity leave! I will take quite a long time off work and I don’t plan on being back anytime soon.
I will update you next year when I get back to work!
Until then I want to thank you all for being such amazing customers/ friends/ support!
I am forever grateful that I got to take care of all your cute pups for 2 years! It was an amazing time and I am so glad I started this little business!
I feel like in some ways taking care of your pups prepared us to be better parents!
Now it’s almost time for us to welcome our baby boy and to give him our full attention!

Thank you again for everything! 🥰💕🤗

PLEASE TAKE NOTE!!
Its getting to that time of year where the brightly coloured, festive looking dog treats appear on the shelves.
We again issue the warning we give every year and beg you to avoid them for the safety of your dogs..........
With Christmas fast approaching and lots of new puppy owners we thought we would share this again, we know most of you know they are bad but often people who don’t own dogs will buy your dog/puppy a present for Christmas and these look fun.... they are NOT!
If you get any put them in the garbage! DO NOT give them to your dogs or puppy’s
PLEASE LEAVE THEM IN THE SHOPS
The vast majority of these rawhide products and treats come from China.
Their journey starts with the hides being soaked in a toxic sodium sulphide to remove the hair and fat. More chemicals are used in order to split the hide into layers which is then washed with hydrogen peroxide to give the white "pure" look and remove the rancid smell.
Now comes the pretty festive colours and the glue to form cute shapes.
They regularly cause intestinal blockages and choking. The chews go slippery when wet and are near impossible to get hold of to save a choking dog.
Please be safe with your dogs!

Bonsoir à tous!

Petit update pour vous!

Comme vous le savez je suis enceinte maintenant de plus de 4 mois et comme l’hiver semble vouloir s’installer déjà, j’ai pris la décision de cesser mon service de promenade. À partir du 15 décembre, je me concentrerai seulement sur le gardiennage de chiens.
J’afficherai ici mes disponibilités du mois.

Je serai très sélective malheureusement vu ma grossesse.
Je prendrai seulement les PETITS chiens.
Pas de chien réactifs ou hyperactifs qui requiert beaucoup d’exercice. Pour les nouveaux clients je vous poserez quelques petites questions et je vous rencontrerai vous et pitou en personne avant tout. 🤗

J’accepterai seulement 1 chien à la fois ou plusieurs d’une même famille ou qui se connaissent bien déjà.

Je ferai environ deux fin de semaines par mois et ce sur demande.
Voici mes journées disponibles en semaine pour le mois de décembre.

1-2 décembre week-end du 3-4 sur demande
5-6 décembre week-end du 10-11 sur demande.
12-13-14-15-16 décembre week-end du 17-18 sur demande.

Veuillez me contacter pour plus d’informations 🤗

Hi everyone!

It has been a long time since I posted here and unfortunately things have been quite the roller coaster in our life’s recently!

As all of my regular customers know, I am now pregnant from 14 weeks and half and we are having a baby boy!! This news was the best thing that could happen in our life’s!

But unfortunately things went messy lately…
I had health conditions that made me slow down or completely stop working.

Me and the baby are safe and we just need some rest.

As for the futur of my little business…

It is a little bit early on to take major decisions…
But one thing became a bit more clear…

I will unfortunately completely stop walks from when winter will settle in (that could depends on many factors that I cannot predict just yet like snow and ice on the ground or very low temperatures).

I will focus mainly on my current customers and not take on new ones until my health gets better.

I will probably only do some sitting arrangement in my home for small dogs only that are house broken. **** NO big dogs, jumpy dogs or very high energy dogs that requires a lot of exercise******

I will sometimes open up some weekends and I will keep you posted on my availability schedule.

I am sorry if this sounds very precise and strict… But I do wish to continue working for as long as I can (baby due the first week of may and will probably stop taking bookings in march).

I love what I do and I love all of your pups but now my focus is on the baby and I!

I hope you will all understand 🤗

I also wish to thank you all again for all of your support and best wishes and comprehension and love! I am truly lucky to have you all and you are again the best customers that I could of wish for!

Sorry if that message is only in English but most of my regulars are either English or bilingual and didn’t want to make this post longer then it already is!!

For my regulars I will keep you posted during the week on my condition!

❤️🥰🤗🙏
