Picture of the Week: The Toronto Doodle Romp and Why I DM Pix

At the end of each day, K9 Kate's human clients receive a picture of their pup's dog walking adventures.  This routine began from day one, with one client, and has continued past day 700 (what?!?!) with over 30 (double what?!?!)  dog walking clients.

I know it's not necessary and it does take time and, as a small business owner, time is truly the most important commodity in my life. However, this end of day ritual has lasted because it is valuable and not just for my clients;  I mean, what could be better than seeing your dog having fun and getting love with his friends during his adventure dog walk?  That's rhetorical, by the way :)  For me, this exchange matters because it keeps me connected with my humans- we SHARE the joy in seeing the pictures, in knowing how their dogs are doing, who they're bonding with and so much more.  Through these exchanges, bonds form and friendships forge.

One such friendship is with Tara, dog mom to Phoebe.  Tara helps organize the Toronto Doodle Romp, which is where this photo was taken.  It was such a special day; imagine 100s of Doodles  congregating and romping at Cherry Beach.  Clearly, as this picture shows, I certainly enjoyed myself.  A picture is worth 1000 words.  Even if K9 Kate's does keep growing and reaches 80 dogs, I'll be sending these 1000 words to clients as often as I can.  Thank you Tara for the words in this picture
