DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1
 DISTANCE: 8.3 km DURATION: 55 minutes
Chilly day out today with my buddy Nell. The constant running today helped to keep me warm. Sometimes I am jealous of Nell’s warm fur coat that she gets to sport on these cold afternoons. Nell always has so much energy no matter what the weather is like outside and that’s the best part about running with her. Nell pushes me to try my absolute best every time I take her on a workout. Keep up the great work Nell!! The Scoop: 2 pees. Runner: Alex

Aoife’s older sister came to stay with us for a playdate & sleepover. You maybe scratching your head wondering how are these two gals related? Well, Miss Marley’s Mom was Aoife’s second motherly figure when she was just a baby. Ever since,these two gals met face-to-face, they have been inseparable. I am sure Marley would not mind a bit more actual physical distance when around Aoife. Aoife has a tendency to live up close and personal with Marley. This visit Marley brought her elephant & monkey-stuffed toy. Just like two sisters, these two have the exact same toys. They do share really well. The walk today at Nosehill was very typical of how these two are “inseparable”. Miss M, we have missed you dearly. Fingers crossed you can stay a bit longer for your next visit.

Not only the humans get to have fun in this fluffy white stuff!!! Just look at these young pups, Zuli & Hunter were getting in on the ‘not-so-groomed trails’. No problem for them, they just created their own. I could tell when the morning in-house game of chase started. Today was a Fun in the Snow Day. We got to spend more time together today and we were all happy for that. Hunter was up to a bit of mischief this morning upon arrival. He took off with a toque and then a sock. I am not sure if he was trying to tell us that he was cold or maybe he was not getting the attention he thought he should have. Ha Ha! There were loads of laughs. Zuli let me know vocally that I was slacking on the snacks. Oh boy, I better double up the dosages. LOL. Lunch came around 11:40 AM and there were one or two (who am I kidding more than that) snack attacks to the fridge. The Doggy Business Report: both pups peed and 1 poop each.

 Merry Christmas Kiddos️. Ha Ha. Zuli & Hunter LOVE LOVE the snow. I could not believe how much they played in the swirling around fluffy white wet stuff. Zuli was in hunting mode while outside. There has to be some critters under that white blanket. Sniff Sniff - Zuli will find them. Hunter was jumping around and creating some pretty interesting tracks. Even though there was some slipping and sliding for Hunter. Time to put those paws into 4-wheel drive. We had just a little visit together today. A few Zzzzz’s for the Fur Kids after romping around outside. Of course, that was after a much earned snack. Lunch was around 12:25 because first lunch was served around 11:00. The Doggy Business Report: Pees for both pups. Only Hunter had a poop.

CHARLIE! You sweet little puddin’ pop you. My friend was a little perplexed as we were staying close to home for the first little bit. Walking around the block back and fourth. He looked at me as if to say “ Have you finally lost it Tracy?!?!!!” Trust me Charlie your going to love what I have in store for you today. Surprise! Theodore and Ruth are here to party with us today. Hurray! These two kids hit it off immediately as I knew they would. As for Ruth and I..... kidding! I was so happy to have someone to talk to that can answer back! The four of us had a delightful time despite mother nature’s furry. And before we knew it we had been out for another 2 hour tour. What can I say, time flies when you're in good company. Thanks for making this a spectacular adventure Charlie, Theodore and Ruth! 1 poo and several pees. CHEERS!

The girls got to test out their new snowsuits today. Considering how much snow has fallen this week, it was a good decision. The girls' mom joked that all of the neighbourhood dogs would be envious of their cute suits. She was right! About 5 minutes into our outing, we crossed paths with a small dog and it’s owner. The dog must have been impressed by Toki and Gibbons’ attire, because it began to bark at us. After saying hi and passing by, we continued on our way. The warmth of the snowsuit filled Gibbs with energy; she was bounding around like a bunny! We three gals shared lots of laughs today, amidst the mini snowstorm. Hooray for the snowsuits enabling us to stay outside a bit longer! The Scoop: 7 pees for G, 1 pee for T and no poops. Runner: Jaime DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1

Today I had the absolute pleasure of meeting and running with Avi. This Siberian Husky blend is not only physically breathtaking, but a very steady, speedy, friendly, focussed, calm and gentle pup. He made some doggie friends along our travels; giving hugs to two dogs. I was lucky to be on the receiving end of a gentle lick while we waited at a stoplight near home. Avi is so gentle when receiving treats and when he smiles at you...oh my! Your heart just melts. Thanks for the fun morning, Avi! The Scoop: 1 poop, and a record breaking 23 pees!

Paws Up for who loves the snow? It has been a couple of weeks since Huxley & Aoife have been out together. I won't tell Aoife that Huxley has had a few dates with Reilly.🤣 There was snow (that's right snow-for-sooo) much excitement when these two saw each other. Today our goal was to enjoy this fresh fluffy white stuff at the maximum. That means ’Unleashed’. We did the whole loop at 98% least-free. Yep, two very happy pups. The Doggy Business Report: 1 poop and several pees. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY #2

What a snowy Thursday it was to go for a run with energetic Buck! He’s such a fun & goofy pup and he had such a good time bounding around in the snow. I opted not to go down the Douglas Fir Trail in the interest of avoiding slipping and falling. Instead, we stuck to the sidewalks and ran throughout the neighbourhood. It was icy in some places so we went a little slower than usual in order to stay safe. Buck got a very nice compliment from one lady, who called him “such a cute puppy!!”, and she’s absolutely right! Awesome job today Buck. The Scoop: 2 pees. Runner: Dan DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3

Jasper loves snow and snow loves him. Snow always seems to find its way into Jasper's paws so we had a few stops to get snow out of his paws on this snowy October Thursday. Today, Jasper not only got to have his friend Teddy along for the walk but I got to have a former acquaintance from my former gym join me. Prospective DGR Runner Morgan did a great job of motivating Jasper when he stopped to lie down. I actually broke the cardinal rule today which is bringing treats for Jasper. He forgave me when we got home and I gave him one. It was an enjoyable walk with a short unleash time on the hill to roll in the snow followed by walking across the dam bridge and along some pathways and trails. The Scoop: lots of pee but no poops. Thanks Jasper for showing Morgan the joys of dog walking. Runners: Ruth and Morgan DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3   DISTANCE: 7.5 km DURATION: 1 hour 1 minute
Snow, why have you come so early? Although it seems that every year you come early. It’d be nice if you coulda waited a little longer this year. No? Okay, fine. Before heading over to take the boys out, I felt like a picky child pushing around their peas and carrots on their plate at the dinner table, knowing that not finishing my veggies meant no dessert. Once Sully and I got running, and my fingers and toes started to warm up, I began to feel more alive. The fresh tracks on the ground, the snow falling from the sky, and Sully as happy as can be. Dessert is good! I gave him a dry-off before taking Kenny down the street. Kenny made just about as many pee breaks as his brother in our short distance walk. Great job today boys! The Scoop: 1 poo, 5 pees. Runner: Ryan DGR RUN OF THE DAY #2

There were a few tears shed this morning.... Tears of JOY that is! Best Day Ever! Reunited and it feels so good, alright I’ll get on with it. I was just soooo happy to see my gal pal Mira again and I finally got to meet her sweet sister/sidekick (Super) Nova! We took off flying (literally ) but I soon got it together and the three of us had a marvellous time. Mira was her usual happy-go-lucky self but it took my new friend a minute to feel comfortable and that’s ok as she’s had a bit of a rough start in life. Soon we were all smiles and trotting along nicely. I knew Nova was more at ease when she started chasing leaves and looking for snacks!😆 Well Mira and Nova, I so enjoyed our time today and I am looking forward to many more adventures. Thanks for making this a really great day ladies! 1 poo and lots of pees for Mira; 3 pees for Nova. Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1 
 DISTANCE: 7.8 km DURATION: 1 hour 1 minute When I rang Benji's doorbell, I heard a witch's cackle. Benji's family has some great spooky Halloween decorations. Benji seemed pretty cozy inside but once we out out into the falling snow, he was pretty excited to bounce in the white stuff. We started off easy and then had some fast sprints. There were not a lot of folks outside so it was funny when we ran into a mini version of Benji by the Peace Bridge. They were excited to say hello and then we continued on our separate ways. The snow seemed to stay somewhat clear from Benji's paws but he did get a good snow beard. It was a fun outing and although we saw some ghost decorations, Benji was more frightened by the snow blower. Silly boy! Only 1 pee. Runner: Ruth  DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3

Today is a glorious day for friends and a run. I picked up Huxley first, who was all harnessed up and waiting for me. Let's go pick up your ’Tuscany Puppy Partner-In-Crime" - Our Girlfriend, Reilly🐾 We have to make this a special run because DGR runner Tracy is back this week and it may be a while before we get this Tuscany Pack out for a run. Upon our arrival at Reilly’s home, she also was raring to run. Our goal was to tour Tuscany (north to south) as much as possible. With the sun shining, there were many desirable sniff spots. Plus with running in new territory the intrigue factor was on high. Huxley and Reilly were glued to each other's side when there was a sniffing spot extravaganza. To finish this great event off, we just had to hit the coulee trails. Reilly gal we have both had lots of fun these past 3 runs - you are such a doll!. Huxley told me on the ride home he hopes that it is not too long before we get to go out again. The Doggy Business Report: each dog had 2 healthy poops. The pees for each pup was off the charts.

Hello Juno. Although you are my first dog run of the day, I actually have been up for a few hours and have taught a TRX class and run a 5K. So, on days like this I need extra motivation to keep my legs moving. Juno was up for this task and her sheer joy of snow and the frosty temps helped keep me keep moving. We even made some fresh tracks in the snow as the majority of our run was on trails. Juno was in her element. I was overdressed so she helped me break a good sweat. Juno runs so gracefully through the snow. I, however, had my first tumble this winter when my shoe caught a root covered in snow. Juno smiled and that made me smile. Great job snowy girl! Thanks for being my motivator! The Scoop: 2 poops and several pees. I did not use the icons today so my phone stayed nice and toasty. Cheers! Runner: Ruth |
