DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
  DISTANCE: 9.3 km DURATION: 2 hours 2minutes
Good Morning puppies! Okay, let me talk to Mother Nature. When I said Conor doesn't like heat that much, it doesn't mean that we asked you to dump rain on us everyday We agree that sunshine would be nice too. We took our favourite trail in the forest.. but I am not sure what happened since yesterday as it looks like a tornado went through it. There were so many trees down. Hmmm!! We couldn't believe our eyes. For those safety reasons, we didn’t came back the same way. The kiddos behaved very well. There was no skinny dipping this time around. It was too cold! The Scoop: 2 poops and 3 pees for Conor. Leia had 1 poop and 2 pees. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE: 5.4 km DURATION: 1 hour 6 minutes Is it rain or is it tears? Well, today was my final walk with Marley who I have known for several years so it may be tears. This outing was such a mix of the various routes I have joined him on throughout the years. He had had several runners but I have had my fair share of outings with this sweet boy; especially lately. I took a photo of him on the bench overlooking the reservoir which is a classic photo op from past runs. We went along the watershed, and then we sought cover from the rain through the green forested area behind the Lakeview houses. The rain gave way to wind and Marley's fur looked beautiful. He did his traditional grass rolls so there was not a dry spot on him. The run ended with the skies clearing for a brief moment of sunshine. This seemed so appropriate to capture our final run!. Much love to you and the family. I have enjoyed time with this gentle giant! The Scoop: 2 poops and several pees. Runner: Ruth

It was quite a bit cooler on today's walk with Mira and Nova. We got a little wet from some light rain that came and went. We even went back to my car to grab my umbrella, but Nova was not a fan of the umbrella so I put it in my pocket (it’s one of the compact ones thankfully, so it was easy to carry around) and endured the rain. Luckily, it let up, and was just a sprinkle. The girls' paws and legs were pretty soaked by the end of our walk, so I gave the girls a quick towel down before saying goodbye. Great job today Mira and Nova! The Scoop: 3 pees, 0 poops (Mira) and 0 pees, 0 poops (Nova). Runner: Ryan   When I got to Jersey & Dodge's, I found both pups napping. Jersey quickly perked up though,. She was woo wooing with excitement and Dodge went to work searching for the treats. After a fast lunch and some Frisbee, we headed out for a walk. It was a lovely warm day so we headed down to the park where the water was flowing across the path. Jersey really really enjoyed her cool dip. LOL! And even Dodge got his toes wet! We headed back for dinner and some chill time. After dinner, it was play-time in the yard, then some Netflix. We first got up at 6:45 a.m. and they went out for a pee. It seemed a bit early so we lounged until 8:30 a.m., had breakfast, and headed out for a walk at 10 a.m. When we returned home at 113:0 a.m., there was a big surprise and Dad was home early . It was such an exciting ending to a wonderful visit. The Doggy Business Report: many pees. Jersey pooped yesterday and Dodge pooped today.

Today's outing with Mowgli & Pippin reminded me of The Indy 500. First, there was a lot of speed out of the gate when I got Pippin out the door. We were trying to run as quickly as possible to avoid the impending storm. We did get a tad of hail as we went along the river pathway but that subsided pretty quickly. I also got photos by the lemonade stand and steel sculpture ( two o my fav spots). Pippin sure likes the water and kept steering me toward the river. When I went to get Mowgli it was a fast turnover of dogs with a quick towel dry, put on the harness, and get out the door. It was like a pit stop at the Indy 500. Mowgli also started out with high speeds but then settled into a gentler pace. It was great seeing these pups. Although, we did not see a rainbow, it felt like they were my rainbow at the end of the day. The Scoop: 1 poop and 2 pees each.

Another stormy summer day in Calgary! We had to wait out the thunderstorm over the NW before hitting the trail. Almost as soon as the storm went by, we had beautiful sunny skies for the majority of the run. Huxley seemed happy to be out and about. We stopped quite a few times to find the perfect spot to poo, and after 20 minutes Huxley found his perfect patch of grass to do his business. There were lots of other happy pups on the trail, and as per usual, Huxley was friendly. The Scoop: many 💦, 1 💩. Runner: Brooke DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 9K DURATION: 2 hours 38 minutes
Today's blog is written by Yellow Lab Sully. I made a new friend today as DGR Runner Shemar took me out for the first time. I showed him how I like to roll in the grass. We walked around my neighbourhood for a long time. Wow, this is fun!!!! I think Shemar went past my house but he seemed to want to spend more time with me so we kept going. I get it as I am a fun boy to hang out with. The next thing I knew the skies were getting dark and it was raining. Shemar took me to a building to meet new friends and get out of the rain. They gave me some water. As I was looking out the window, I saw my old friend Ruth approach. Woo hoo! I got to ride in her car to my house. My regular dog runner Ryan also came for a visit. I guess everyone missed me. I usually go to doggy parties with my friend and pet sitter Michelle but today I went to a human party and everyone looked like they were so glad to see me. I am pretty loveable! The Scoop: I peed a lot. Runner: Shemar DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Rossi was limping a bit in the beginning of our run this morning, so we warmed up with a bit of walking and really light jogging. He seemed to be doing a lot better once we got warmed up, but I still didn’t want to push him too hard and I just let him set our pace. We also did a lot of running on the grassy areas in between the walking path and the bike path since grass is less harsh on the joints than pavement. It was super warm out today; I wish we could just hop in the river to cool down. Great work today Rossi! The Scoop: 3 pees, 0 poops. Runner: Rossi DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Reunited with the Vizsla Sisters. Gibbons, Toki and I were so excited to see each other again. The Girls were so curious on their walk today. They were sniffing everywhere especially in the tall grasses. The sun was shining and Gibbons did 27 minutes today. Yay!!! After, Toki and I walked and jogged for 35 minutes. It was so nice to reconnect and get so many kisses. The Scoop: 8 pees, 1 poop for Gibbons. Toki had 4 pees, 0 poops. Runner: Ginette DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 9.6 km DURATION: 2 hours 11 minutes
Good Morning puppies! It looks like we are about to have a real summer day. Finally! With summer days, comes heat, and Conor is not a big fan of it. So, I decided to prioritize his well being over mileage. We did back and forth in the forest's shady trails twice, just to make sure he was more comfortable. He seemed to be good by the looks of it and the kiddos love the trails much better anyways. We saw squirrels and ducks but no big wildlife. However, that was enough to make Leia happy. We went for a dip in water as always. It was a great outing for the kiddos and me. The Scoop: 1 poop and 2 pees for Conor. Leia had 1 poop and 2 pees. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Today's episode of Running with Sir Avi is called 'Feeling Hot! Hot! Hot!.' Okay, so it was ridiculously hot by 9 am. Taking this into account, I tried to reel in this beauty to ensure he remained comfortable throughout our adventure. We hit Avi's Pawrkette and took a minute or more to enjoy the shade under the trees and to get some treats, pics and head scrubs. Avi and I ran through a sprinkler and we felt so refreshed afterward. When we had a good cooling-off, he looked at me with the biggest smile and he shook all the water off his back. My legs got soaked and it was great! Thanks, Avi! We took a loop around his neighbourhood in more of a walking pace so we could catch our breath. My friend did a great job today in his pacing and in taking to the shade wherever we went. Overall, a lovely visit. The Scoop: 1 poop, and he peed so much he should be empty now. Runner: Cheryl DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Is that snow on the ground on this 22C bluebird sky day? No, it is dandelion fluff lining the trails that Ollie and I ran on. We took the pathways past Stanley Park and I decided to make a special stop to the pet store in Britannia for a treat. Ollie was thrilled! My reward was finding a beautiful garden with gigantic orange Icelandic Poppies. What a beautiful way to start a Wednesday! The Scoop: 1 poop, 3-4 pees. Runner: Ruth DGR RUN OF THE DAY

The first official day of summer arrived today and I was excited to get to share it with Gibbons and Toki! The girls had been away for the last little while, so we were all happy to see each other and get back outside together. Gibbons was very eager to reassert her presence around the neighbourhood and let everyone know she was back in her territory. Accordingly, we spent our fair share of time scouting out every nook and cranny we came across,. Of course, Gibs had to mark everything as her own territory before we moved on. Toki was a bit groggy at first, as she was still shaking off the effects of her road trip meds, but she was her usual self in no time. By the end of our run, her tail was wagging away and she was ready to keep on playing once we returned home. Great job today girls! I can’t think of a better way to kick off the summer than a run with two good vizsla pups! The Scoop: 3 pees for Toki and a zillion for Gibbons. No poops today. Runner: Dan DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Sully and I ran for the first half and walked for the second half of our adventure this morning. It felt like it’s been a while since it’s been this warm out because of all the crazy rainy weather we’ve been getting. So, it was a great morning to be outside soaking up the sun. We walked through the grassy area by Turtle Hill on the way home. Sully rolled around in the damp grass under some shade to cool off. He is just the happiest boy when he’s outside on an adventure! Great job today dude! The Scoop: 2 poops and 3 pees. Runner: Ryan |
