I lost my soul last week. 🐾❤️‍🩹

You weren't just a dog. You were my soul living outside of my body. You were my best friend, protector, therapist, and my reason to keep going on the hard days.

Many of you met London over the years. He was always there helping me at work, and some of your dogs might not be the dogs they are today without his influence. ❤️

Luckily, London helped create some wonderful dogs along the way, with committed clients who put in the work with their dogs. I'm incredibly grateful that I now have a few who are willing to help me when I have a new dog who needs to learn "how to dog." A little piece of what London taught continues through them.

I'm so grateful to all of you beautiful people who have reached out with condolences over the last week. I truly appreciate everyone's patience and grace while I figure out life without my ride or die by my side.

I'd also like to thank Dr. Beshay and his staff and his staff at Animal Clinic of East Durham as well as Brighton Pet Cremations. They both went above and beyond with their care of London 💚🏥

I love you so much, buddy, and I don't have words for how much I miss my shadow, as much as it drove me crazy sometimes. You were truly the best friend a girl could ask for.

Forever and Always ✨
May We Meet Again, bud. ❤️‍🩹🌈

Taking a few days for London 🐾❤️

Many of you have known London for years, and some of you have known him almost as long as you've known me.

My handsomeman needs me right now, so I'm going to be stepping away from work, messages, emails and social media for the next few days to spend some time with him and my family.

I know I have messages waiting and things that need my attention. I haven't forgotten about anyone, but right now I need to let those things wait.

Thank you for giving me a little grace and patience while I spend some very important time with my boy. ❤️

🚨 Website Inquiry Update!

It looks like the inquiry form on the Mutt Manners website hasn’t been working properly since at least August 20th, and possibly even before then. The good news: the problem has now been fixed! 🐾

If anyone reached out through the website recently and didn’t hear back, please send the inquiry through again. Messages submitted during that time may unfortunately not have made it through.

Apologies to anyone who was left waiting for a response, and thanks so much for the patience while the gremlin in the website got evicted. 😅

Everything should now be working normally again!

***Quick little update 🐾💚

Charlie is now sitting 9th out of 100 kids across Canada & the USA (!!) 🥹🎉

Thank you all SO much for your support, votes, and shares—it truly means the world to us. We couldn’t do this without you ❤️***

✨ Big news & a little favor to ask! ✨

My daughter Charlie has entered a competition to become the 2026 Junior Ranger, and we would LOVE your support! 🐾💚

She’s always had a special love of animals, and last summer, she even did a camp at Jungle Cat World! Many of you have seen her when she comes to work with me—she’s always eager to learn, help, and sneak in some cuddles with your pups 🐶

This would be such a dream for her, and it’s such a perfect fit for her passion for animals and the outdoors.

If you have a moment, please support her by voting and/or sharing the link below—it means the world to us! 💫
