Instagram is acting goofy and blocking posts with text! I'm getting photos and videos up first so they actually go through, and if or when I have time later, I'll come back to add the words. 🐾
​Big news—Dashing is officially at his two-week mark post-neutering and off restrictions! To celebrate, I brought Leo over to walk with the Duke and his sister, Duchess Darling. What a royal adventure it was! We had a lovely stroll around the woods at St. Joe's and even made a brief stop at Lowe’s so they could greet their royal subjects. 👑

​Princess Aspen was the ultimate hostess today for a fabulous Thursday playdate! Ringo, Olive, and Adley thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and everyone joined in the fun. Aspen even played much longer before deciding she was done—she definitely feels most comfortable hosting in her own yard right now, so we’ll stick to her place while the weather agrees. The other pups don’t care where they are, they’re just thrilled to be together!

🐾 Thankfully, Instagram finally let me post this. Each stroll came with its own quiet, yet interesting little twists.
​Joy and Beefy Seal 🐶
We had a peaceful start until we passed a construction crew. Beefy plopped right down, refusing to move, waiting for them to give him pets! The crew wasn't comfortable, so Mommy had to use his Help 'Em Up harness to get him going. He wasn't stuck, just being stubborn! 😂 Joy looked at him like, "What's the problem? Let’s walk!"
​Aspen and Ringo 🌲
Ringo’s mom mentioned his recent afternoon walks were difficult, but we had zero issues today! He actually wanted to go the longer distance at every corner. Princess Aspen had other thoughts, but both thoroughly enjoyed taking their time to soak in every sight and smell.
​Olive and Adley 🫒
These two kept a great pace with a few "stop, drop, and roll" moments in the shade. Interestingly, only Olive chose to roll! She tried to turn it into playtime, but Adley just sidestepped her as if to say, "Sorry t***s, Auntie Mary taught us play happens off-leash." Good boy, Adley, and nice attempt, Olive!
​Dashing and Darling 👑
We stuck to their Kingdom today. Early on, running deer got Dashing excited enough to let out a brief "ruff ruff!" 🦌 In the village below, Darling lived up to her "Miss Barkwaukee" title, loudly greeting another pup. 🗣️ The Princess just needs to announce herself! And can we take a moment to pause and acknowledge how absolutely adorable Darling is in her new summer cut? 😍 Otherwise, a super peaceful walk with perfectly synced potty breaks. So happy Dashing actually went today—yesterday he was too busy bouncing around to remember!

Leo and I had such a peaceful, quiet stroll through his neighborhood today! 🌳 Just the two of us enjoying the fresh air.
​We spotted a cute little doodle mix off in the distance. At first, Leo gave a happy little whine as if he wanted to go over and say hello! But when the other pup briefly went off-leash, Leo gracefully decided to turn around and head the opposite way. 🐾 Whether he wasn't quite sure about the off-leash greeting, or he had just finished taking care of all his "business" and simply wanted to sniff down a new side of the street, we just rolled with it!
​We ended up going in a completely different direction than I originally planned, but that’s perfectly fine by me. As long as my furry clients are walking politely on the leash, I'm always happy to go whichever way they choose. It’s their walk, after all, and they should get to enjoy it their way! 💙🐕
