THE STORY OF
A SINGLE NIGHT.
This is what happens when your dog stays with us. From the moment you drop them off to the moment you pick them up — every detail, no surprises.
A TYPICAL STAY
YOU BRING THEM HOME.
Not to a facility. Not to a kennel. To our house in Parkdale — the one with the blue door and the Husky who is already waiting at the window.
You walk in, hand over the leash, go through the details. Feeding times, any medications, the weird thing they do when they hear thunder. We write it all down.
Then you leave. And within about five minutes, Maxine has already made your dog forget you are gone.
DINNER.
THEN NOTHING.
Your dog eats on their normal schedule, whatever food you have brought. After that, it is just... a regular evening. Couch. Backyard. The sound of someone making dinner in the kitchen.
This is the part that surprises most people. There is no program. No structured enrichment schedule. Just a home where dogs are allowed to be dogs, and a Husky who is already asleep on the other end of the couch.
ABOUT MAXINE.
She is our Husky. She has been part of every single boarding stay since the beginning. And somehow — we genuinely do not know how — she makes every dog feel like they have known her forever.
THE HUSKY WHO RUNS THE SHOW.
Anxious dogs settle. Reactive dogs relax. Fearful dogs learn that another dog in the room is not something to worry about. She does not do anything dramatic. She just exists in a way that makes other dogs feel safe.
Every boarding stay is a collaboration between us and Maxine. We handle the logistics. She handles the feelings.
WHEREVER THEY
WANT TO SLEEP.
The couch. A dog bed. The floor next to our bed. The actual bed, if they are the type. We do not use crates unless you specifically ask us to.
Most dogs pick a spot by the second night and claim it as their own. Some of our regulars have spots that no other dog is allowed to use. That is just how it works here.
BREAKFAST.
THEN ADVENTURE.
Morning feed first. Then a walk — Roncesvalles, High Park, the lake, wherever makes sense for the weather and the dog. This is when you start getting photos.
Not staged photos. Real ones. Your dog mid-sniff at something fascinating. Your dog and Maxine walking side by side like they have been doing it for years.
UNTIL NEXT TIME.
Pick up whenever works for you. We will tell you everything — what they ate, how they slept, whether they tried to steal Maxine's spot on the couch.
Most dogs are excited to see you. Some of them look a little conflicted about leaving. We take that as a compliment.
