Elvis, yaks, and tutus: Ont woman dresses dogs in costumes every week for LTC residents

  TORONTO Whether they’re dressed up as Winnie the Pooh characters, long-haired yaks, or simply wearing tutus, Reta Byvelds three dogs are bringing smiles to the faces of residents waiting out the pandemic in a southwest Ontario long-term care home.

Hub North - New Hampshire Magazine

New Hampshire Magazine February 18, 2021 Photo by Joe Klementovich On my first visit to Hub North in Gorham, co-owner and avid mountain biker Kara Hunter gave me a tour of the grounds. It was winter, the sun was shining, and the property was covered in a shimmering, hard-packed, squeaky layer of snow. As we walked, she gestured at the glamping yurts that were tucked away in the back left corner while casually recounting the time she and her husband/co-owner, Jason Hunter, lived in a yurt for two years. Moments later, she sent me off for a joyride on one of their fat-tire bikes, and I rode around making figure-eights, laughing with delight even after I toppled off and into the snow due solely to user error. This combination of relaxed hospitality and a fun-loving attitude is the essence of Hub North, and it’s truly hard not to feel that (even when you’ve fallen off your bike) when you’re here.
