Wow- what a PAWsitively amazing summer so far. I have enjoyed loads of time at the cottage on the lake swimming, chasing balls and birds, snoozing on the beach, playing with my BFF and now I am learning to sail! My book, On Toby’s Terms, is in the process of being printed. Watch my website for launch details, my new media package, and events that I’ll be at. Check out my new photos on my website.
I have enjoyed the emails that are coming in from my fans! Thank you.
Have a great summer.
On June 1, 2010 at approximately 8:15 a.m., I was arrested for “Doing Cannonballs in the Pool.” Dressed in my striped jailbird (or jaildog) uniform and cuffs, I was read my charges and put behind bars. Of course being the sneaky dog I can be, I made my run for freedom at the first available opportunity. The police were quick and brought me back behind bars. Once the judge was assured we would raise the bail, I was released.
This was a PAWsitively great way to start the week, supporting a good community cause GETFEST Edmonton Project 27, and having fun!
This week I invite you to PAWS for a while and seek opportunities to appreciate the freedoms that you have and how these make our world a better place.
Until next time, wishing you a PAWsitive week!

Putting my pawprint on what I believe in is important; it is about taking a stand for what I believe in. I know I am drawn to people who do the same, when you are authentic, it shows. I sense it and others see it. Your values define your character and are a part of who you are. The other day I was watching a little girl in a stroller surrounded by a bunch of adults. Her unfiltered authenticity was precious, her curiosity and intrigue about these adults was so pure.
This week I encourage you to find ways to let your values and authenticity be shared with others, the gift of sincerity!
This is the second year that we have participated in the “Pitch In” Community Clean Up Program. My family and I go and clean the parks and walkways around our block and behind our home. This year it was again disappointing to see all the broken glass that is on the pathways from people smashing bottles. It is dangerous for children and all my four legged friends. Keeping our parks clean and safe is important, for all of us. This week, we are going to make a difference by writing a letter to the County and request two garbage cans be installed on the pathways by our home. We will go one step further…I will PAWprint the letter, as I bet the County has never seen a letter signed by a dog resident of the community. Perhaps the creative approach will garner support faster.
What is one thing you can do this week to care for your community?
Together, we can make a difference in making our communities a safer and more beautiful place to live!
It is hard to believe that I have already been volunteering as a Pet Assisted Therapy Dog for more than two years. Wednesdays are my favorite day because I am living my passion and purpose as a volunteer. This week the hospital recognized my volunteer efforts with a lovely card, and a gift card for Pet Smart (my favorite store). Volunteering from the Heart is about connecting with people, making a difference and about being fully present! I know the patients appreciate me being there on Wednesdays, but, I also value and appreciate them. They make a difference in my life!
