It wouldn’t be a stretch to call Edie and Edna pampered supermodels of the canine world.

The pair ditched the high-glam hustle and bustle of big-city Toronto to move to North Lancaster, in January of 2020, with their “hu-mom”, Kelly Harding. They now happily chase wild turkeys and take tractor rides.

These celebrity pups have appeared on TV, blogs, and all over social channels. First-born Edie was voted Toronto’s top small dog!

Celebrity, however, can have its dark side. Some years ago, Edie started overindulging in her favourite foods, as pugs love to do. Finding herself on the wrong side of the scale, she worked her way back to health and became an ambassador for Royal Canin Canada, with Edna following shortly after. A redemption arc worthy of a movie of the week.

These days you can find these divas doing photoshoots and mugging, tongue-out, for the camera. Edie claims her most coveted treat is now lettuce (ugh, models and their veggies). It’s a dog’s life.

Danielle Lalonde is from Cornwall but now works in Toronto as a communications director for a national charity. She is a published writer/editor and hopes that she will soon find her way back to the Cornwall area, as you can take the girl out of Cornwall, but never Cornwall out of the girl.
