🐾 A Personal Update from Me 🐾
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share something that’s been incredibly hard to come to terms with. Over the past several months, I’ve had to take a lot of unexpected days off, and the truth is—I haven’t been well.
After many tests and doctor visits, I’ve been diagnosed with hypermobility syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos. These conditions cause my joints to move far more than they should, leading to constant pain, injuries, and deep fatigue. It’s been worsening over time, and I’ve been struggling more than I’ve let on.
I’ve now been advised to take at least six weeks off work, possibly longer. And while I’m still processing it, I need to be honest: I won’t be able to continue walking dogs the way I have been. In fact, there’s a high chance I may not be able to return to dog walking at all. That’s a heartbreaking reality for me, because this job has brought me so much joy, purpose, and connection.
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting me with your beautiful dogs. Every single walk has meant the world to me—not just because I adore dogs, but because this work gave me laughter, meaning, and a sense of community every day.
It’s deeply painful to accept that my body isn’t letting me keep doing what I love. But I needed you to know how much I’ve appreciated your support, kindness, and loyalty.
What started as a simple idea grew into a great wee business where I never once felt like I was working—just hanging out with the coolest dogs around. I’ll carry that joy with me always.
With love and gratitude,
Taylor
