Tilly Mint is always a little bit “extra”. Today she is extra excited that Halloween is only 1 more sleep away. Is your pet ready for the big night? We’d love to see any costume pics of your fur babies.

When you run a business together, sometimes the security footage tells a story you weren’t planning to share.

Running a small business is very HARD right now, especially in the pet industry. There are long days, tough decisions, financial pressures, and moments when you wonder how you’re going to keep all the (tennis) balls in the air.

But underneath all the chaos, the foundation of this business has always been caring. Having each other’s backs. Showing up on the hard days, celebrating the wins, and occasionally losing our minds together. 😂

Because a business is only as strong as the people behind it. And sometimes, the secret to surviving it all is having a partner who is just as crazy as you are. ❤️

(And maybe keeping an eye on what the security cameras are recording.)

This sweet girl is still missing. She may be hiding - please check your sheds etc. Let’s bring her home.

STILL MISSING – Oct 30th: Update

Our team has been working very hard, with trail cams and other actions in place, but so far there have been no sightings.

MISSING DOG (recently adopted from Hobo Haven Rescue)
Please share to help bring Abbey home safely.

📍 Missing from: Tisdale Court, Kitchener

Abbey is a rescue and very nervous. Please do NOT chase, call out or make any noise. If you spot her, keep eyes on her from a distance and call/text Gabbi immediately: 519-590-8127

A note on helping:

We truly appreciate everyone who is concerned about Abbey and wants to help. Every offer of assistance comes from a good place, and your support means a great deal.

We would love to have more people helping, but we need to stress that we are constantly re-evaluating the information we have. Some areas are being watched, while others are being actively searched. Please reach out to Gabbi before searching on foot. We need to keep certain scent paths clear so Abbey feels safe enough to come out.

More helpers do make a difference, as long as everyone is in the right place at the right time. Introducing a search dog, for example, may seem helpful, but it can frighten a missing dog into leaving an area where she has begun to feel safe.

Please send any ideas, offers of assistance, or potential resources before taking action. This lets us evaluate each suggestion and make sure everyone is working toward the same goal.

We all want the same outcome: to bring Abbey home safely. Thank you for helping us work together to make that happen. 🐾

And the timing? The day after Halloween! 🎃 So put down the leftover candy, take a break from the spooky season, and come make something special featuring your favourite furry family member.

🎄For the first time EVER, Christmas will be happening in December this year! 😂

We know. Shocking. Absolutely no warning whatsoever.

And yet, somehow, it sneaks up on us every single year!

Our Christmas grooming appointments are already filling up, so if you want your furry family member looking fabulous for the holidays, NOW is the time to book! .

Don’t wait until December to send us the dreaded “Any chance you have an appointment before Christmas?” message. We love a Christmas miracle, but squeezing 37 extra dogs into the schedule isn’t one we’ve mastered just yet.

🐾 Remember Emily…the longtime TLC groomer who moved away this summer? Well, she’s been busy letting her wonderfully weird side out! 👻🖤

Her latest adventure? 3D-printed fidget toys and articulated creepy curiosities for those of us who like our cute things with a little strange mixed in. 🕷️💀

🖤 Check out her Etsy shop: WolfullyCutePrints (link in our bio)

And if creepy isn’t your thing, don’t worry! She’s still creating her absolutely adorable, crocheted snuggable pets — fully customizable to look just like your own beloved furry family member. 🧶🐶🐱 The sweetest way to keep a little piece of your pet close!

We’re so happy to see her creativity taking on new shapes (some of them delightfully spooky 😂). Go show her some love and support her latest adventure!

Once part of the TLC family, always part of the TLC family. ❤️🐾
