In honour of Paddington’s 4th birthday today, I uploaded a video of her doing one of her favourite things: playing ball!
Corduroy is trying to lick Paddington’s tongue in the video.
Does anyone know of any spots in Ottawa for our dogs to have a good swim? I’ve been getting some inquiries about this and was wondering myself but don’t actually know of any places.
Please leave your ideas in the comments!
Thank you to Barry (and Trice) who sent this to me. Please read this blog regarding a certain dog toy that is extremely dangerous and has already killed one dog.
While chewing on the toy, a vacuum was created and it effectively sucked his tongue into the hole in the ball. From speaking with my vet, this likely occurred because there is not a second hole in the ball preventing the vacuum effect from happening. I became aware of this when Chai approached a friend at my home whimpering with the ball in his mouth. She tried unsuccessfully to remove the ball but the tongue had swollen and could not be released.
Chai had to have his tongue amputated and is learning to live life without it now. Another dog who had this happen to him lost his life due to the injuries.
Please read The Chai Story and make sure you are not using this toy.
If someone wished to purchase tickets online and are planning on bringing a dog they must buy tickets in section AA or BB only. Unfortunately our ticketing system doesn’t block anyone with a dog from buying tickets in a different section but there will be a notice on the website explaining what sections are dog sections. If someone mistakenly buys tickets in a different section they will be moved over to one of the dog sections when they arrive. The tickets will get the owner and dog into the park.

Liz Bradley is a dog lover who lives in Ottawa, Ontario with her husband, Thomas, and their three little girls, Paddington, Corduroy and Wellington. Paddington is a Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie) and was born in September 2006 - she's a ball of energy and both Thomas and Liz love her to bits. Corduroy is a Malshi (Maltese/Shih Tzu) and was born in January 2008 - she is bold, determined and will lick you constantly if you let her. Wellington, our newest addition, is a one-year-old ShihTzu/Yorkie mix who we rescued in March from Animatch.
