Vanderbilt is 5!!! 🥳🎉 Our little cow 🐄 (used lovingly) has been an incredible part of tbm with his brother, Franklin. Though relatively new to the team, Vandy’s been such a joy to walk in Brooklyn with his big personality and fun, exciting energy. We love you, little guy! Happy birthday! 🎂🎈

Here’s to 5 years of this big mush melting in our hands! 💕5️⃣ Tobias joined tbm 5 years ago, and now we couldn’t imagine our team without him. He is our sole Doberman, and we walk the streets proudly and confidently with him by our side. We know his little bro Heath does, too! Here’s to 5 more with you, big guy! We love ya. ☀️

Our gorgeous & goofy Mabel is 6 today! 🎉 🥳 This darling is a total sweetheart to all of us. She walks with tbm almost every day, so she’s met so many dogs and humans, and brings such a great energy to her pack. Uptown truly wouldn’t be the same without her! To know Mabel is to love her, truly. Happy birthday, Mabel! 🎂💗

We’re thrilled to celebrate Carlos’ first birthday at tbm (7th birthday in total)! 🎉 🥳 This scruffy little dude has been such a rockstar since joining us. He’s integrated seamlessly into his pack, he’s oh so sweet, and just happy as ever to be out there with us. We’re so lucky to have you here, Carlos! Love you lots. Happy birthday, big dog. 🎂☀️🐽

It’s our Coalie’s 4th birthday! 🥳 This perfect pittie has grown so much since being adopted by his mom. Coal has done the work to learn to trust us and his packmates, and we adore him so much! As Eli might say: happy birthday to Mr GQ (AKA, her “hunk” 😂)! Looking forward to many more years with this sweet guy. 🎂

May Dog of the Month: Bea 🏵️

🏵️ tbm’s impact from Bea’s family:

“tbm has been a part of Bea’s life since she became a part of our family almost 12 years ago. They have been a constant as she’s navigated the arrival and departure of beloved canine siblings, international moves, and the expansion of her family. They’ve always treated her with such love and care, even as she’s created mischief and mayhem. She’s now firmly in her cranky old lady era and facing a few more challenges but she’s always thrilled to see her crew and get out on the street with her friends. ”

🏵️ Bea’s favorite things:
- Licking you in the face
- Escaping
- Riding in the car with her nose poking out the window

We’re so happy to be adding some more positive and calm energy to the team, in the form of Ev!  - Ev 🐍

“Working with tbm has been a crash course in dog street safety. I learned so much about what to look for and most importantly how to react appropriately if any red flags come up while out walking. By far my favorite part of the job so far is continuing to build foundations of trust and care with the pups. It is an honor to get to know each of their personalities and their quirks and I feel so grateful to get to care for them while out walking!”

Q: The temperature is rising and the flowers are blooming. Spring is here! You’re planning a picnic in the park with 2-3 tbm pups. Who will be joining you and what sort of spread will you bring? For the sake of this hypothetical, we will pretend dogs can eat any human food without issue. :)

“If I were planning a picnic, and I could only choose 3 pups to come with, I think I would choose Wesley because he would be great company and would keep everyone in good spirits, Lulu because she would bring the energy necessary to have a good time, and Lucy W because she would be so joyful the whole time. To munch on, I would bring banh mi on crispy baguette with smoked trout, pickled vegetables, a horseradish spread and lots of fresh cucumbers and cilantro! As a treat at the end I’d bring us raspberries and black berries and strawberries!”

Happy first birthday to our darling, goofy Pedro! 🥇🥳 It’s been such an honor to see this big puppy grow into the dog he is over the past year. He’s put in so much work to become the gentleman he is today, and he is an absolute joy to walk. We’re so proud of you, Pedro, and we love you so much. Happy birthday! 🎂🥹

Our beautiful Lulu is two two! 💗🥳 This gorgeous golden girl has been nothing but the sweetest pup over the short time we’ve known her. She’s one of the happiest, most loving dogs we’ve had a pleasure to care for. We love you so much, Lulu! Your LuCru does as well. 💕🎂

Here’s to 12 years of getting Zadie out of bed despite her best efforts to stay cozy! 😴😂 We can’t believe this sweet girl has been with tbm for so long… She’s the best little companion, and though she THINKS she’d like to sleep in, we know she absolutely loves seeing us and her packmates, and has a blast cruising the streets on our walks. We love you so much, Wiggles. Happy tbm anniversary! 💗
