DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE: 5.1 km DURATION: 1 hour 5 minutes
Jasper's favourite season is headed our way! I think he can sense snow is in the forecast. Is he a Weather Forecaster? No, but today he had lots of pep in his step. Teddy joined him and we did a route we have not done is awhile where we go past Safety City. The boys were really playful when we returned to the off-leash green space and enjoyed some short runs through the tall grass. Thanks again to Jasper and his mom for the early Christmas baking. I will hide some for Jasper's regular runner, my son Ryan. These treats won't last long in our household. The Scoop: lots of pees for both boys. Runner: Ruth

This handsome boy was all about the sniffs today! So we decided to make a tour of the neighbourhood and try and log some kilometres. Buck showed me around to check out the views and some of the Halloween displays. Such boo-tiful pictures Buck! Thanks for being a wonderful tour guide! The Scoop: several pees and a poop.

Who is this guy?! Rossi was a completely different dog around other dogs today! No pulling at all! He sat and stayed ON HIS OWN when we saw another dog multiple times! It was a crisp and cool jog today. He wanted to turn around early which meant more detours through the neighbourhood but still had a great day! It was the best so far with me!! Great work Rossi!!! The Scoop: 1 poop and a bunch of pees. Runner: Brad DGR RUN OF THE DAY

The girls started out slow (both behind me for a bit) which never happens but they picked it up once they were warm and we were able to do a nice long loop. I saw my favourite Halloween tombstones. I don't know if you can read them in the photos but they were "I did my own research" and "Crisp P. Bacon." Haha! Thanks Reba! The Scoop: 1 pee, 0 poops. Runner: Jessica DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Perhaps it was the crisp fall air that had these girls on the high lope today! Gibbon and Toki were all about the walk today. Gibbon decided ,with some encouragement from her sister, that she could do both ponds today. So proud of you Gibbon! After some yummy liver treats, Toki and I dropped off Gibbon and went to check our favourite green space. Toki was hoping to hit the hills, but with the idea of bears still around we stuck to the more populated areas and then home to polish off the treats The Scoop: several pees for both girls.

Today's episode of Running with Sir Avi is called 'Coyote Lookout.' I read online this morning that there was a coyote sighting in the area where I run Sir Avi so I took precautions in case we came across the fella. I put a whistle around my neck and brought a light and kept my friend as close to me as possible. We didn't have any coyote sightings but we had other amazing moments. Although we tend to take the same route week after week, Avi shows me he is learning commands. He walked at the 'crosswalk', walked to the 'button' to change the traffic light, 'crossed' to the other side of the street and, without being prompted, when we got to his Parkette, he just popped his tush down among the trees and waited for me to take his picture. Sure, I like to take a weekly pic as the scenery changes but he just sat and smiled and earned a treat, a hug and kiss afterward. Avi was quite a smiley-faced boy today and he definitely earned the Angel halo I put on his head today for Halloween. Dropping him off at home after our run is tough on both of us. We really enjoy being together. But we always have next Wednesday.... The Scoop: 1 poop, and as for pees I think his well is dry. Runner: Cheryl DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Hello Mr. Marley. I want to introduce you to a special new person. Her name is Mai and I see lots of fun M&M (Marley and Mai) times in your future, Marley has been healing from a leg injury so we took it super slow and easy. There was one little section on the grass when Marley seemed to get some pep in his step but we both could tell he is still favouring one leg. We also decided to keep clear of all dogs today so there would be no rough-housing. Marley was just his sweet gentle giant self. We dd pass the Irish Wolfhound who is not his favourite but we gave a huge wide space between dogs. Upon our return home, Marley seemed to want more walking but like all good athletes, he needs to recover. It was great enjoying the pretty sky and fall morning with him. The Scoop: 1 poop and 3-4 pees. Runner: Ruth and Mai DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Pippin won the honour of going first on this run as he was the loudest. He sure is a little firecracker! He went full speed in search of squirrels and then surprised me with settling at a nice steady pace as we went by the fish hatchery area. Next up was Mowgli who took it at a more steady pace. She too started out fast and then fizzled a bit at the end so we did a nice speed walk home. we even found a lemonade stand but it looks like it is closed for the season. The Scoop: 1 poop for Mowgli and lots of pees for both Mowgli and Pippin. Runner: Ruth DGR RUN OF THE DAY

My last run of October with Gibbons and Toki was a blast! The girls were happy they didn’t have to wear their jackets, as the sun was out and made it a beautiful fall day. We started out with lots of enthusiasm and energy, zooming up and down the streets and getting to check out the Halloween decorations. Gibbons and Toki were a bit wary of all the ghosts, goblins, and graveyards, though, so we didn’t get too close in order to stay safe. There was a bit of a Halloween spookiness in the air, as it was very quiet and we hardly saw another soul as we were out. That was alright, though, as we always enjoy low-key days and choose to see the peacefulness in it. Gibbons did super well to get out for 30 minutes, especially as she was thinking about turning in after only 10. Fortunately, Toki and I convinced her to buckle down and keep going, which ended up being great, as Gibs got back into the groove and got another 20 minutes in. Afterwards, Toki and I continued on, getting to enjoy the fall sunshine for a bit longer. Great job today girls & have a nice Halloween weekend! The Scoop: 5 pees for Gibbons, 4 pees for Toki. No poops today. Runner: Dan DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE: 7.9 km DURATION: 1 hour 1 minute After completed an 8km earlier this morning, I fuelled up on some Special K cereal and jogged on over to Ella’s. Ella and I made our way down to the Bow River pathway. Along the way, we passed quite a bit of construction, so it was nice to be on the paths and run away from all the noise. We stopped at the first opening to the river we could find. Ella waded almost belly deep into the water for a much needed drink. On the way back home, we did a little bit of walking through Scarboro. That neighbourhood went all in with the Halloween decorations this year. A bunch of the houses had life-sized figures standing outside on the front lawn that were pretty spooky. One of them was a clown standing by the front door that kind of looked like Pennywise from Stephen King’s “IT.” I’m just saying, if that was at my house, I wouldn’t be using the front door at night. Anyways, awesome job today Ella! The Scoop: 1 pee, 0 poops. Runner: Ryan  DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
  DISTANCE: 5.1 km DURATION: 1 hour How long can this nice weather last? I am not sure so today was all about seizing the opportunities to enjoy a bluebird sky day with Jasper and Teddy. I did allow the boys a swim as I don't think there are many left and they are both water babies! We did a combination today of off-leash through tall grass, trails and then neighbourhood streets to check out Halloween decor. There were dog and horse skeletons out but Jasper and Teddy did not freak out. The boys also did their tandem grass rolling which always brings a smile to my face. It was a glorious day outside with these pups! The Scoop: no poop but countless pees for both. Runner: Ruth

Hi Kona and Winter! Happy Tuesday!! It’s a beautiful day to be outside! Winnie and I set off first…. Big loop around the lake. There are so many great Halloween decorations up now! I especially love all the creepy guys hanging between the lamp posts on your street. It’s funny to watch Winnie pick up the pace when we see people or other dogs or kids on the pathway ahead. She’s so social! Kona was fun to walk today. She hardly stopped to sniff today so we were able to cover more ground than usual. There was no wind today and I completely over-dressed for the occasion. Both pups were intrigued by the skeletons lying in the grass. It was a great day to top up on the sunshine vitamin. See you next week pups. Kona had no doggy business. Winnie had 2 pees only.

It was a great afternoon for a run and Archie and I went a totally new direction to start with. We decided the best Halloween decorations are closer to your house. There was a sad lack of them on the first part of our run. I tried to take a picture of how smiley he was (you can see it in the shadow picture, it was so cute!). Freckles was so excited for her turn she had busted out of her area and was waiting at the door when we got home. Thanks pups! The Scoop: Archie had 3 pees, 1 poop. Freckles had 2 pees, 1 poop.

Nova and Mira greeted me at the door all excited for their run this morning. Nova was of course a little nervous of me, but she didn’t seem as scared as the times before. Once the dogs got their first sprint and pull out of the way, we were moving at a nice pace all together. It was a little tricky getting these girls to both smile for the camera, but we tried our best! For some reason, my legs were feeling like jelly and I felt a little bit fatigued at the 35 minute mark. I gave it another couple of minutes of running, but around 40 minutes in I decided to just walk the rest of the way home. The girls didn’t seem to mind, as they could take their time and sniff around. We still pulled off a solid 8K. Awesome job today Mira and Nova! The Scoop: 4 pees and 1 poop (Mira), 2 pees and 1 poop (Nova). Runner: Ryan DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
  DISTANCE: 5.3 km DURATION: 1 hour 27 minutes The gang is back together again. We had sunshine steps at Nosehill with Patti Cakes, Silly Sully, Momma Marley and Aoife. This pack is starting to get a ‘following’ on the hill. One of the regulars we meet on our walks was so pleased with our pack's magic. One of her dogs can be nervous. When he saw our pack, his tail started to wag and he had the best-relaxed energy. All the pup's tails wagged. I am one very happy dog owner and one very proud DGR dog runner with my All-Stars with paws.🐾 I learnt after taking Patti home that she is not eating that much, which explained her lower energy. I hope you devour your lunch this afternoon sweetheart. The Doggy Business Report: Patti had 2 poops, Sully had 1 poop. Marley had a few pees as did the other pups. Runner: Michelle
