Your Dog is Saving Up for the Wiggle Waggle Walk & Run. Have You Noticed the Signs?

Have you ever noticed when you give your dog a treat, before eating it they go straight to another room? How they find the nastiest forgotten tennis ball at the park and bring it home? How they tend to gather all their toys in one pile or go digging in the garbage bin?

The truth is, they’ve started their own Etsy shop and are selling used items to make some extra money. Studies show that 35% of all dogs in Ottawa now have a side hustle. You may be thinking, “Finally! They can pay their share of the bills this month!”, but in reality, your dog is saving up for the biggest, most exciting canine festival of the year: the Wiggle Waggle Walk & Run.

It’s the event all the dogs are barking about. The pee-mail chain has been buzzing with anticipation over the 3K Ultimate Dog Walk and 2K Furry Fun Run, the dog-friendly marketplace and K-9 Fun Zone. It’s your dog’s chance to let loose and paw-ty with all their four-legged friends.

And the time has finally come to get their tickets. That’s why they’ve been watching you so intensely when you shop online – they’re trying to memorize your credit card number.

What they don’t realize is that dogs race for free when their human companions register! Do your dog a favour and register for the Wiggle Waggle Walk & Run on Sunday, Sept. 28 on the Great Lawn at Lansdowne. All the cool canines will be there (along with some cats, rabbits and more), and there will be tons of fun activities for you humans too!

Don’t miss out on early-bird pricing when you register before June 30.

Hurry, before your dog starts charging you for cuddles!
