DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1 
  DISTANCE: 7.4 km DURATION: 1 hour 2 minutes
The warmth of the morning made this run extra enjoyable. Marley had a lot of yawns when we started, but as the brisk air hit his fur coat and face, he livened up. We explored a new area and enjoyed all the festive decor in front of people’s homes. Marley was particularly intrigued by the light-up reindeer.. He wasn’t sure what to make of it, but it definitely caught his attention. No matter how much or little snow there is on the ground, Marley will make a point to roll around in it and even catch a mouthful of ice crystals. He deserves a weekend of rest, He was a trooper today! The Scoop: 3 pees, 1 poo. Runner; Lucia

DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3 
  DISTANCE: 6.8 km DURATION: 1 hour 37 minutes
Reilly! My little friend had a halo on today.... at least that’s what we were calling it! I had an extra booty so I thought I’d attempt to make Reilly as comfortable as possible on our journey today. Well, that didn’t last..... I’ve never seen Reilly’s leg do the 100 mile an hour shake. Then, she had to look in my truck to make sure her partner in crime( Mona) wasn’t playing hide and seek. Nope it’s just you and me today kid. Now, we are ready to go and it was a nice casual affair. The sun was shining and despite the obvious - Reilly had a great time! Probably because I felt sorry for her so she got a little extra luv. I spoiled her today and this made her VERY pleased. Thanks for coming out today Reilly - I’m glad I could make you as happy as you make me.🥰 2 poos and many pees. Cheers! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #2

Who spiked Huxley’s kibble this morning? Did Mom give you an extra helping of ’Go-Go faster’ kibble? We left my house flying!! Huxley was full-out running. The interesting thing is this was all uphill. The first thing that he was unwavering on was his speed. Thank goodness that was only for the first kilometre🤣. We hit Nosehill with lots of time to spare before the gang from my house arrived. Everyone could hear the barks of excitement when Huxley, Ennis, Aoife and Zeppie arrived. This pack was ready to fly around and chase each other. Ah, the happiness of friends and being a dog.🐾 Save some energy Huxley, you're off to see your BFF this afternoon. The Doggy Business Report: fun and shenanigans loads. Poops: Hux Pup had 2 and Ennis had 1. Many, many pees from the dogs. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1

Good Morning Buck! Today is American Thanksgiving but we did a turkey dinner yesterday with all the trimmings so I may need your help to work off some pumpkin pie. Buck was up for this challenge. I actually layered this challenge with a pretty extreme route that included skating along a thick sheet of ice as well as climbing up a side of a hill that involved holding onto roots. Buck used his claws and athleticism to get through this run. He seemed like he was on high alert today (glancing every direction) so I think this type of obstacle course was also a good mental challenge. We got a treat by the St, Bernard stand and took some cute photos by the wall of hearts. Buck - you sure do steal my heart. Have a wonderful weekend. The Scoop: 1 pee and 1 poo.

A run with Kahlua is the perfect way to break up the week. She wasn’t super energized when I came to pick her up, but once we got into the fresh air her mood changed drastically. The pathways were busy, so we dodged and weaved through snowy banks and parks to ensure our safety. We climbed hills, went down stairs, and toured all around the hills near her home, We sure had an adventure! Next time, I’ll need to bring more treats though, Kahlua was such a good dog (and I wanted to reward her) that we ran out half-way through the run. The Scoop: 2 pees, 1 poop.

My gal pals today had some ants in their pants! Mira and Nova both gave me a big fat kiss on my nose followed by some rather stellar singing! The excitement was real! Nova had extra zoomies today as it was hard to get her to participate in my photo shoot, but Miss Mira knows the drill and is happy to oblige. At times, it felt like we were on a wild ride at the Stampede! The Gals were partying circles around me and yet we kept on moving forward (mostly). Some lady even commented on how talented we were at staying upright. I think she was talking about me.... I was surprised too. Anyways, thanks so much for keeping it real ladies! I had a marvellous time. 1 poo for Mira and plenty of pees each. Cheers! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3

Gibbons is on a roll!! Despite the chillier weather today, Gibbons did awesome again to get outside and show off her speed. Toki seemed a little surprised at how quick Gibbons was going and had to kick it up a notch to keep up, which lead to the always-fun racing Vizslas. Then, it quickly became me who had to put it into a higher gear to keep up! After dropping off Gibbons at home after half an hour, Toki and I continued along. We decided to challenge ourselves a bit more and tackle some of the steeper hills overlooking the neighbourhood, which Toki loved. It’s very quiet and peaceful up there which is a very welcomed break from the busy city. It was definitely a needed run for me, as I needed to wake up a bit and gain some motivation for doing schoolwork later today. The Girls made sure I achieved that! The Scoop: 4 pees for Gibbons, 3 pees for Toki. No poops today. Runner: Dan DGR RUN OF THE DAY #2

Wednesdays are exciting days for me as I get to see my new pal, Sir Avi. This Husky has piercing blue eyes - the type you are mesmerized by. He is charming and playful, friendly, affectionate and is an amazing listener. Though I tried to get some artsy pics of him today, I fell short. He just wants to run and be social instead of stopping to pose for a picture. We started our journey today on the same path we took last time but we threw in some twists and turns and met a whole lot of new furry friends to play with. Avi is so gentle and he likes to kiss as well as sniff his new friends. I find Avi to be a wonderful companion and we seem to have figured each other out quite quickly which makes for a very enjoyable time together. Til we meet again... The Scoop: 1 poop and 28 pees!

2 paws up for Murphys harness! He will be super tired today because he set a new PR for distance! The run started with some excitement as not one but 2 big dogs were out of control running around. One was a big one that lives near the end of the block. This was the 3rd occasion we've seen the handler chasing them down the street. Someone should really tell her about DGR, I think the dog needs it! The other was a big Irish Wolfhound that wandered out of the off-leash to greet us. Murphy told him to scram and it was thankfully uneventful. Great work Murphy! The Scoop: 1 pee, 1 poo. Runner: Jessica DGR RUN OF THE DAY #5

Finding some colour on a grey day... Grey skies did not get Kahlua and me down. This lovely girl and I enjoyed a lovely run along the Bow River and up McHugh Bluff to take in great views of the city. Along our run, we made some stops to sniff and some more to check out some colourful paintings and art under some of the bridges near the LRT line. The rainbow colour schemes really brought some vibrancy to this overcast day. The Scoop: 7 pees, 2 poops. Runner: Lauren DGR RUN OF THE DAY #4    DISTANCE: 12.1 km DURATION: 1 hour 3 minutes
Ella and I set off today and went on a new route. Something very interesting we saw was a care centre going around with their van and handing out masks, hand sanitizer, water and food to homeless people. It was quite heartbreaking though as the person they were helping at that time looked like an indigenous teen around my age. After that, I was fairly distracted for most of the run. Ella eventually cheered me up. She was rolling in the snow when suddenly she slipped and slid down almost the entire dog park hill. She got up and looked as if she wanted to go for a second ride. Who knew Ella was such an avid sledder? The Scoop: 1 poop and pee in the backyard. Runner: Eli DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3

I was happy to run Buck for the first time. He was excited too, as he did some sharking in the beginning of our run, but I got him to sit and calm down before we continued. As he ran in-front of me, I saw his big ears were perked up and on the swivel; listening for sounds in the bushes. When we crossed over the river and started making our way down the Memorial Drive side of the river, he couldn’t stop looking back and forth between the cars zooming by on the road to our left and the river rushing by to our right. This was all very exciting to him and it made him want to run fast. We took a couple short breaks for pictures and for Buck to sniff around. He didn’t mark anything today, but he just enjoyed hovering his nose over the snow and picking up scents. Great job today Buck! The Scoop: no pees, no poos. Runner: Ryan DGR RUN OF THE DAY #2

Sometimes we get into a rut doing the same routines over and over again so Ollie and I shook it up a bit today and veered off our usual course to explore the Mission District. I took that as an opportunity to get photos of handsome Ollie next to painted city waste bins. I must say that these efforts to beautify and add art to the city are much appreciated (at least at my end). Once the photo session was done, I could not help taking Ollie back on some of his favourite bunny routes. He was pleased with this decision! We ran steady from that point on and enjoyed the quiet pathways. The Scoop: 2 poops, 2 pees. Runner: Ruth DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1

No matter how long it’s been - when you have a true friend, you tend to pick up right where you left off. Mona and Gracie did just that! As soon as I released these ladies, they were in full on PARTY mode. Up and down, back and forth; always keeping one eye on me (treats) and I was always keeping one eye on them. They can get a little crazy and I didn’t want to go down..... After we emerged from the bush, Mona and Gracie decided they wanted to take a tour of Bow Crescent . Not only do they know how to have a good time but they also have very expensive taste. We then finished up with a whirlwind tour of the pooch park before heading on back to my ride. Thanks for making Gracies (and my) day Mona! 2 poops and many pees. Cheers!🥰 Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3

It was a great run today with Miss Lucy! Lucy and I explored some community paths. We enjoyed a more relaxed pace on our run this morning, as Lucy was keen to spend more time playing in the snow and having ‘pit stops’ for a good sniff. The birds kept us company and we saw lots of Canadian Geese flying in a flock near a pond. To top of this run, Lucy and I saw our first snowman of the year! Lucy was wonderful today, and well behaved. The Scoop: 4 pees, 1 poop. Runner: Dru |
