Pawsway hosts one of my favourite events ever....thepugoween!  Tons of pugs running around like crazy and dressed in costumes too! A must for pug owners or lovers.  And, even better, it raises money for pug rescue.

I just picked up a cute bat outfit here for my pug for Halloween.  Lots of cute costumes but all small sizes.  My small pug wouldn't fit into most of them.  I encouraged the owner to think 'big' for next year!

The renovations have begun....you may notice the large orange fence around an area of the park where they are constructing the fully fenced off-leash area.  The park is still in use around the fences (and sometimes within.....I note the city has put…More »

A nice park down by the water.  Lots of trees and a breeze from the water makes it a cool spot for doggies on a hot day.  Not as close for us as Stanley park but we have gone a few times.  Definitely not as many dogs to play with but it is fully…More »

My dog Norman went to spa only once when my dog walker was away.   He had a blast and I even got a report card at the end of the day saying he was a perfect gentleman.  Kind of pricey-  I think $27 for the day- so I wouldn't use it on a regular basis…More »

Fantastic!  I've gone two years in a row.  The dogs, the people, the craziness!  I've seen some neat products and bought way to much stuff!  I get lots of compliments on Norman's cooling coat purchased there.  I can't wait to see the winter woofstock…More »
