Chunky's Celebration of Life

Chunky's Celebration of Life

Chunky would have turned 10 years old this September.

We were supposed to celebrate that milestone with a big birthday party — surrounded by the people, the Pudgies, and the community he helped bring together.

Instead, we’ll gather to celebrate his life, say the goodbye we never wanted to say, and finally put our boy to rest.

Chunky’s Celebration of Life
Sunday, September 20 | 5 PM

No RSVP required

And because it’s Chunky, we’re doing it his way — filled with all of his favourite things.

We’ll meet at Pudgy’s Place and walk together with our balloons to Trinity Bellwoods, where we’ll honour Chunky with a biodegradable balloon release.

From there, we’ll walk over to Pennie’s, where a reservation has been made for our group and we’ll share two of Chunky’s greatest loves: sliders and tater tots.

We chose to celebrate outside and at Pennie’s so People and Pudgies of every size can be part of his final birthday.

Afterward, Chunky will be brought home to Pudgy’s Place and laid to his final rest — in the place he helped build, surrounded by the community he created. A place where those who loved him can always come back and visit him.

This is an open invitation to our entire Pudgy Community. Whether you knew Chunky personally or simply loved him from afar, you are part of his story.

His 10th birthday deserved to be celebrated.

So we’re going to celebrate it for him.

Meet: Pudgy’s Place
Date: Sunday, September 20
Time: 5 PM
Then: Walk to Trinity Bellwoods → Pennie’s

Come help us give our boy one last birthday surrounded by the community he spent his life creating.

PUPPIES AND PRELOVED

Pudgy Pups x Toronto Girl Socials are bringing you the ultimate feel-good Clothing Swap!

Clean out your closet, bring the pieces you no longer reach for, and swap them for something new-to-you- all while hanging out with the Pudgy Pups. It's sustainable fashion, puppy therapy, sips, snacks and girl time all rolled into one seriously cute event.

Meet new people, refresh your wardrobe without spending a fortune, grab a drink and a bite, and get your puppy fix while you're at it.

Bring your gently loved clothing and leave with some new favourites, new connections and a very full heart.

And because every good night needs a keepsake, each guest will leave with a Polaroid photo with their favourite Pudgy puppy.

Come for the clothes. Stay for the puppies, sips & snacks. Leave with a new-to-you wardrobe and a puppy Polaroid to remember it by.

Friday, September 25th 6:30pm - 8:30pm

Giving Back to the Community with Snuggles

CFTO Donation

Pudgy’s is all about community, and without our strong community we wouldn’t be here. We would like to give back to the Queen West Community by supporting Community Fridges Toronto! This organization provides communities with local fridges where you can donate fresh foods and others can take what they need.

We are hosting an hour long Snuggle Session on Friday, November 14th, 5:30-6:30pm to help fill the Queen West Community Fridge. Rather than paying money for the Snuggle Session, you’ll pay with: fresh vegetables, fruit, bread, milk, butter, etc- anything fresh.

There is a Community Fridge located very close to Pudgy’s Place- the next day we will wheel everything over and fill the fridge with the love of the Pudgy Community.
