 A little afternoon visit with Benji today. He was such a well behaved boy for me. I arrived just as his family was saying their goodbyes, and although he was a little hesitant at first, in no time we were cuddling on the couch. We went for a walk around the neighbourhood and barked at a few Halloween decorations (you know... just in case!). Then, we came back and while I studied he guarded the window. We will go for a little play in the backyard before Ruth comes to take over. She sure is in for a treat with this guy. Thanks for watching out for me today Benji! Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Kali and I had an awesome run together today! This gorgeous girl and I ran off into the neighbourhood together and went towards the dog park. We saw lots of Halloween decorations and spooky houses on the way over and I tried taking a photo of Kali in front of one of the houses but she wasn’t interested, maybe the decorations weren’t good enough. We kept chugging along until we made it to the park. Almost right away Kali and I ran down to the river where Kali played around in it for a bit and drank from it leaving ripples across the water. We took some photos and finished up there and went to the main paths where Kali said “hi” to and made lots of new friends. All the other dogs today were very polite and made Kali feel welcomed. She was having a blast with all the other dogs at the park and was meeting so many new dogs but we had to head back home so we said “farewell” to the dog park and all the dogs we met! We sprinted off back home, Kali sniffed a bit of her way back and we admired some more decorations together. We made it back home and said our goodbyes to each other. Thanks so much for an awesome park adventure today! See you next time Kali! The Scoop: 2 pees, 0 poops. Runner: Mason DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Kismet and Loki's greetings today were the best. We got all hooked up and off we went! Kismet picked where we went again and tons of people to see along the pathways. Birds and squirrels kept both of us on guard and Kismet followed (or stalked as I call it) a squirrel for 4 houses. The squirrel peace’d out and Kismet was back to leading the way! Great night for a run! The Scoop: 2 pees. Runner: Chris DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Kahlua, you are one lucky girl today as you get three runners for the price of one. Ha ha! I had Erica and Joanne join me today to learn the dog running ropes. Both lovely ladies are former vet techs so they have dog experience and were very happy to be out enjoying the pathways with this lovely Black Lab. Kahlua is so photogenic and we posed her by some art. At one photo stop, a guy wanted his photo taken too and proceeded to lift his shirt. Sorry buddy but this walk is not x-rated and Kahlua is our model. Too funny! Kahlua ended her run with a burst of speed towards a pigeon. Great seeing you Miss Kahlua. Enjoy your weekend. The Scoop: 1 poop, too many pees to count. Runners; Ruth, Erica and Joanne DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Today’s special guest to join the Irish Sisters is........Miss Marley. Our family calls Marley, ‘Aoife’s big sister.’ There is a strong sisterhood in today's walk. We had a later start because to our surprise the John Laurier entrance was closed. No worries girls, we are determined to have an ‘all off-leash’ day. Success on all accounts. Miss Marley and Miss Patti are now sisters too. They got on smashingly. The Doggy Business: Marley had 1 poop and a couple of pees. Patti Cakes had 1 poop and 3 pees.

OMG! How cute are these two: Leia the Fearless and Conor the Brave! Leia led us on our walk down the path by the reservoir while Conor bravely marched by others on the path. The beautiful crisp weather made for a lovely walk with so many smells! Leia led us over the bridge, and Conor lent me some of his courage as we passed over top of the cars. After several treats and some pets it was time to turn around. Conor led us back, taking a moment to pester his sister and then sit for treats. The Scoop, Leia had several pees, Conor had several pees and a poop. Runner: Pat DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Let’s go! Reba was full of spunk this morning, Her mom warned me as I was on my way but I wasn’t expecting the greeting I got when I arrived. Reba came sprinting towards me when she saw me, it was as though she hadn’t seen me in 4 weeks let alone 4 days. Great run all around, The conditions were cloudy and cool so Reba thrived. We took a few new streets but kept the route relatively familiar. Good times were had. The Scoop: 1 pee. Runner: Brad   ,Our other doggy daughter came for a little visit, Miss Marley. There was excitement from the get-go. We all (including Henry and Aoife) piled into the Jeep and headed to Nosehill with DGR Patti too. Marley loved being in the doggy girls' pack. It was rather cute when Aoife and Patti started to wrestle and chase each other, Momma Marley had to referee. She would bark at them and try to get in the middle of them. As you can see from the photo, Marley was teaching Patti that Henry is an easy touch when it comes to treats. After such an exciting time at Nosehill, it was time to have a snooze on the couch. Then it was time to do a beat-down on the stuffed dog toy called ‘Big Daddy Gator’. Look at the love and destruction Marley has in her eyes. We love Miss M.

Darling Sadie and I got some one-on-one time after I had taken Kahlua out with 2 potential runners. It was so peaceful so following that theme we crossed the Peace Bridge. She is such an easy-going gal and we just enjoyed the fall day. We made the perfect loop coming back across the bridge that leads to Prince's Island. Have a great weekend Sadie. Peace out!

Marley and I shared the chilly morning running together. We took it a little slower today to account for Marley's limp. We went out into the neighbourhood and up the paths toward Glenmore. Marley was hesitant to hear the annoying cars today so we took a different route through the neighbourhood. It was a good choice though because Marley and I got to see some early Halloween decorations! I tried to take a photo with Marley in front of some but he seemed a little spooked by the zombie decorations. We looped around back to where we started and sniffed around in the field. Marley and I made it over to the golf course where I took a photo of this silly boy with a leaf in his mouth. He made it clear he was getting a little tired so we slowed down and turned back around. I got us to cut through the paths behind the houses to give Marley something new to sniff. After we emerged out at the dog park again we decided to head home as Marley was getting a little tired. Still a very rewarding jog today. Thanks for exploring the neighbourhood with me some more! Until next time! The Scoop: 2 poops, 5 pees. Runner: Mason DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Happy Thursday Gibbons and Toki! I don’t know about you but this week has sure flown by for me. The girls were raring to go as soon as I arrived. I heard that Gibbs had a close encounter with a duck yesterday, prompting her to cut her run short. As we made our way around the neighbourhood, Gibbons made sure that we avoided the pond at all costs (“Mom” and I are thinking this is where the enemy duck resides). Most of the paths were covered with a thin layer of frost so we made sure to be careful and watch our step. We ran into one of Gibbon's puppy pals that she used to play with. Gibbs was full of excitement and could not help but sprint towards her old friend. After saying a quick hello, Gibbons decided to beeline it home! Toki and I continued on and aimed to explore the new path along the newly constructed entrance to the neighbourhood. Unfortunately, the path was blocked by numerous construction vehicles so we did a 180 and made our way towards the ponds. The Scoop: 0 poops and 5+ pees for Gibbons. 0 poops and 6 pees for Toki.

It seems like forever and ever since I have seen Miss Ella and she only lives a few blocks from me. What a treat to get to spend time with her. I even got the green light from her mom to do a light jog. Well, speedy Ella has had to put a check on her speed due to injuries so I tried my best to keep in light and breezy with some walking sections and even a quick lie down to enjoy the sun and grass. We checked out some Halloween decorations along the way and Ella did not seem spooked. I look forward to more runs with her and building up her fitness and strength so she avoids future injuries. That sure was a treat for me this Thursday! The Scoop: 1 pee only. Runner: Ruth DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Buck definitely knew that it was Thursday this morning, because as I walked up to the front door, I saw him there in the front window waiting for me. The cutest thing! It was chilly this morning and the paths were a bit slippery, but we took our time and walked when we needed to. Buck was also on the tired side today, and made sure I knew of every moment he wanted to take a break to sniff or just chill. There was a hilarious moment as we were headed toward the stairs on the Douglas Fir Trail when a big squirrel leaped from one tree to the next right in front of us. It sure did startle Buck, who immediately took a position to protect us if he needed to. Buck's reaction startled me, so we both had a moment where our heart rate elevated. I seriously thought there was something scary in the bushes after seeing Buck's reaction. Too funny! You are one awesome little buddy Buck! The Scoop: 0 poops, 3 pees.

I think I was missed? The welcome from each Blonde Boy was very excitable❤️. Huxley did not disappoint, I even got a few extra hugs. It took Sully a minute or two to realize it was Aunty Michelle. When we hit the park Sully was over the moon to have Huxley with him. He was like a toddler on a sugar rush (translation he thought I was Ruth, wink wink). We took about 15 - 20 minutes to slow things down and go back on-leash. Huxley zoomed around and would check in on us walkers. After a poop Sully was ready to party on. A great run in the crisp sunshine. The Blonde Boyzz are back!! The Doggy Business Report: each dog had 1 poop. Lots of pees for each pup. Runner: Michelle 
 Oh hello Ennis !! How sweet to have you for a day. I went to pick up that boy early morning yesterday and as soon as the door opened, I thought about an IKEA commercial… Ennis flying out the door, with the “Start the car..! Start the car…”Well, someone was very exited…LOL! We went directly to Bowmont Park, What a treat! It was cold and crisp. The scenery was beautiful. I have the feeling that doggies love it when it is colder. We went for a 4K loop. Ennis enjoyed every minutes of it. Ennis blessed me with some of his signature hilarious photos shoot moments. Ennis, you are so funny! In the evening, Ennis wanted to come along with us as Kopek had his search & rescue training. We headed out by the window. We could hear Ennis barking and encouraging Kop to find his victim.. Good job Ennis! This morning, we all went to Glenmore Reservoir for an early walk. It was windy and dark clouds were rolling in Lucky us ad there was no snow.. Ennis ate and slept well.Ennis, I heard you are coming for a visit in November… I will make sure to have treats for you.
