 Zuli………Hunter……….. I have missed you Fur Kids. Today was a shorter visit, but still we had some fun in the sun. As you can tell by the pics, snack time is always entertaining. Zuli instigates the timing and Hunter adds the expression and excitement. Zuli wished for 3 trips to the snack container. Hunter, of course, was excited about all the trips. We played around in the yard, when a smell of some sort took ahold of both dogs' noses. It was like a magnet - noses hovering over a very small patch of earth. Ha Ha. The alarm system (Hunter) does not work on holidays. Mom and Dad were able to open the garage door, get out of the vehicle and then Dad opened the door to the house and called Hunter's name. THEN and only then did Hunter wake up. This was a first, I was waiting for Hunter to sound the alarm but nope. He was on holidays in dreamland. Not to worry Zuli does not miss a beat. Lunch was a little earlier today, at 11:42. The Doggy Business Report: several pees for both pups. No poop for either.

 When I picked up Ennis on Wednesday, he jumped up and gave me a big hug. Well hello sweetheart, that was the best welcome ever! Off we went, back to my place where Aoife was not so patiently waiting his arrival. ‘Oh Ennis….. let's play!!’ On Thursday, Ennis and Huxley were reunited and these two had some ‘boy fun’ at Nosehill. That was a rather hot & humid day. Friday was even MORE females. Lola arrived for a quick visit. Ennis and Lola get on really well. They walk together just perfectly and side by side next to me. This has to be the most ‘Zen Pairing’ and I just love taking these two out together. Lola like to sit beside Ennis in the Jeep. I can not believe that our long weekend has come to an end so quickly. You get some peace and quiet now at home and time to recoup from all that ‘Girl Time’. I can see your little smile Ennis, you were pretty happy. Hope you come and stay real soon. Ennis ate really well and he did fantastic on all his walks.

Today I had the pleasure of Miss Pink & Mr. Sociable (Kaiser’s) company. The day was a fantastic long weekend Sunday. We went to Edworthy and these two are like magnets to people. Kids, adults and seniors all want to pet and talk to Kaiser and Pink. Kaiser soaks it all up. Plus, he leaves a little slobber behind as a souvenir.😂 Pink is like a movie star. You can look and admire but don't touch.😍Hope to see you two real soon. We always have so much fun. The Doggy Business Report: lots of pees for both dogs. No poops. Runner: Michelle 
Welcome Lola It was a treat to have Lola stay for a little visit. She is such a snuggle bug. See picture below of her peeping out from under the blanket. There was lots of playtime in the backyard with Aoife and Ennis, who is also staying with us. Lola and Ennis are perfect walking companions. They are such a relaxed and zen pair. We did our walks earlier in the morning or in the evening. The temperatures at these times where much more conducive for black fur. This morning at Nosehill a little girl just had to pet Lola. It was so cute. Lola even shared the young girls attention with Ennis. Our time together went so quickly, I miss you already. I know that you will get lots of attention and cuddles at home. Pack your little suitcase anytime.

Wakey wakey sleepy head. Mikka was sound a sleep when I arrived. After about 5 minutes calling, I headed to her bedroom. There I found her all crawled out sleeping on the sunbeams. Come on Tinkerbell let's get our ’daily quota of steps in.’ Mikka was up and ready instantly. We did a combination of two of our different routes BUT in reverse. A few times Mikka pulled me to go our normal route. 🤣 Mikka had lots of smiles today. Enjoy the rest of your long weekend Tinkerbell. The Doggy Business Report: 2 poops and a few pees.

Sunday Fun at Nosehill. Ennis, Lola and Aoife hit the trails and scents this morning. Ennis and Lola are the perfect pair. They are pretty chill when it comes to having doggy fun. Let Aoife bounce around and get the hi-jinx out and these two walk beside me full of Zen. This was just our last activity together before Miss L goes back home later this morning. A lovely peaceful outing. The Doggy Business Report: Lola had 1 & 1. Ennis 1 poop and a few pees. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1

Nell and I have been taking the stairs all the way up from the 29th floor these past couple of runs. It has been a little bit more difficult but it adds a new element to our workouts which is pretty nice I will have to admit. Other than that, Nell was great today and it seemed like she had a great time with me as I always do with her. We had a great 8 km run and the pathway we normally take was pretty empty today. Once again, I made sure Nell got enough water today and we ended up having a great workout. The Scoop: 1 pee. 1poo. Runner: Alex DGR RUN OF THE DAY #7

Due to a cut foot, the girls and I had to take things slow today. We wandered around the neighbourhood and enjoyed the gorgeous summer weather. Toki took the lead for most of today’s outing. Slowing things down allowed us to take in everything going on around us. From admiring butterflies swirling our heads, to watching bees move from flower to flower; nature was full of excitement today! On our final lap, Gibbs decided to roll in some fresh poop. She was THRILLED with herself after that and quite literally skipped home in excitement. Looks like it’s bath time for this silly girl! The Scoop: 7 pees for Gibbons and 3 pees for Toki, Runner: Jaime DGR RUN OF THE DAY #6

There was high humidity this morning so although the temperatures weren't quite as warm, it felt like we were running in something thick. The wildlife was feeling extra sassy and wanted to play chicken as we were running by a particular squirrel. One hare scared the snot out of Lincoln and me when he darted away from us at the last second. Lincoln definitely wanted his happy-roll breaks today. Thanks Lincoln! The Scoop: 2 poops.

Nell and I had a great run today and the weather was excellent out! These runs are all sort of starting to blend all in together and I can never remember which days are which when it comes to running. Running Nell keeps me busy and in shape during quarantine and I really appreciate being able to get out there with Nell! The Scoop; 1 pee, 1 poo. Runner: Alex DGR RUN OF THE DAY #4

It was business as usual on our Friday round the pond and over to Montalban. Rossi was happy to be out running and did a great job sitting at all the road crossings, which was helpful since some cars didn't do a good job of stopping The off-leash park was very quiet so we mostly had the run of the place. Rossi enjoyed the freedom and was very happy sniffing around all the bushes then charging after me to catch up. On our way back to the pond, Rossi upped the pace, eager for a drink. He was slobbering a lot and since we were running downhill into a headwind his slobber was taking flight. I felt I was in the Matrix trying to avoid the flying slobber coming at me from all angles 🤣 Back at the pond, Rossi had a long drink was happy watching the ducks as he waded. A solid effort in today's heat. The Scoop: 7 pees, 2 poos. Runner: Allison DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3

Kahlua and I walked all the way down to the East Village River walk where we found a fantastic little rocky beach by the water. Kahlua cooled off by wading dog-ankle deep and grabbing a few sips of the refreshing river. On the way home, we made a stop to look at the fountain by Eau Claire. Ducks and geese swam around in the waters beside it, while Lu and I sat down and watched. It sure was a beautiful day. Great job today girl! The Scoop: 2 pees, 1 poo.

Today, we would like to welcome a very special guest to the stage: Mr Marley's Mum! Marley's Mum joined us on our adventure today as we had a little concern over the past few weeks of some leg aches. Today, as we took this fella out, we had him at a walking pace, attempting a little bit of a jog, but with the heat the walk suited Marley just fine. I learned of the route Marley usually takes with his mum and dad and I will try that with him on our trek next week. Marley hunted for stray tennis balls and rested among the tallest leaves. He took water breaks when needed and fought off the mosquitoes like a boss with his hilarious stop, drop and rolls. When we neared home, it became breezier, cooler and less buggy. Perfect lounging weather. See you next Friday, buddy. The Scoop: 10 pees, 1 poop. Runner: Cheryl DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1

Good morning Mr Conor! Are you ready for this long weekend? Looks like it will be a very hot one.. but hey, lucky you as your mommy is taking you to the ocean. You and big sisters will be able to go for a swim! Today, Conor was all about walking on our way out and no run at all. This is okay. I didn’t want this little boy to run every day. Right Conor? But then on the way back, Mr Conor said, “Come on Aunty Fab, you can handle 3 km of running. Right? Okay Conor, it you want to. Soon, I will not be able to keep up with that little boy. He has such long stride. I may need roller skates to follow him. As always, it was a little tug o' war time with Kopek to steal his stick. Conor, I hope you have a lot of fun going to the ocean. The Scoop - Conor had 2 poops and 2 pees. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY #8

Marley & Huxley’s outing today was all about holiday prep. Pack snacks, travel in the vehicle and make sure you are mentally in holiday mode. We walked, tried out two new bug repellant (only Michelle🤪) and hit the swimming hot spots. We took our time with visiting new people and with old friends. Your two are 100% Holiday Certified. Have a great holiday you two. See you Huxley in two weeks. Miss M. is also off for a holiday. I will miss you two. The Doggy Business Report: Huxley had 1 poop and lots of pees. Marley had several pees. Runner: Michelle |
