   It was a full house this weekend in my home! Our home had the pleasure of having Hux Pup stay for a few nights, plus a few of his DGR doggy friends. Huxley is such a popular guy that I needed to schedule all his playdates and social engagements. He was able to have some fun with Miss Marley, the Doodle Sisters (Sophie & Ellie) plus his guy pal Ennis and of course the Mini Pony, Aoife. At night-time, Huxley was ready for snuggles and couch time. Mr. Social needed to recharge those batteries of his, and let's not forget that Michelle needed to get in a few extra cuddles too. We all love you Huxley!

  It was a weekend getaway for Mr. Ennis. Have I got a fabulous surprise for you Enny Binny! This weekend your friend DGR Huxley is also staying with us. You will have some extra male energy in the house. There was still lots of female canines about, but I could tell that Ennis was happy to have his pal Huxley there. Ennis enjoys watching all the action, but from a quieter viewpoint. Today’s adventure at Nosehill was fantastic. With these temperatures, no one was complaining at all. Lots and lots of delectable delights for the sniff factor. Very little snow left but when a snow patch was found, it was perfect for rolling and doggy snow cones. See you soon Ennis!

A beauty of a day! I got to J+D's a little early today, but they weren’t complaining. Jersey said hellooooo a few times, we got leashed up and away we went! There were lots of other dogs and people out today as the weather was gorgeous. No issues with anything. We ran, took some photos, kept to ourselves and made the most of our time. When we got home, I wiped the dogs paws off and then gave them each a frozen kong. Both were indulging in the living room when I left. The Scoop: a bunch of pees each, no poops!

Getting it done! My 2nd run with sweet Kali, was amazing! I made sure to steer clear of the park and did my best to keep her moving today! We were great when passing other dogs and her behaviour at intersections was perfect! We stopped for a couple treat and pet breaks and a chance to roll in the snow, plus check out the people at the outdoor rink! Life is good! The Scoop: 2 pees, no poops.

Good afternoon Jade! What beautiful weather we are having.. It was almost like summer. Jade is always happy when Kop comes along. There was a brief “hi, here you are” and then “let me do my thing, I don’t even see you." Miss Jade is very good at focusing at her task and ignore what ever is around her unless a squirrel passes by her. The sidewalks were fairly good although I had to pay attention. Was it wet or black ice.? Today, Jade was quiet with no pulling, I think the warmer weather played a role in her being so polite! The Scoop: Jade had 0 poops and 0 pees.

Whenever I run Talus and Bowen, I get nostalgic. Talus was one of the first pups I ran on a regular basis and she is dear to my heart. That said, Bobo was also laying on lots of kisses this morning. We went at Talus' pace to start and then I got in some extra one-on-one-time with Bobo who is still a speedy boy ad has energy to burn.. We made it to my favourite of the 5 lakes where the cattails flourish and the birch trees are aplenty. What a great way to start the morning. The Scoop: 1 poop for Bowen and a bazillion pees between the two pups. Runner: Ruth DGR RUN OF THE DAY

What a great Friday morning run with Mr. Marley!! I really love running with this fluffy guy. Everyone we pass is always super nice and greets us. I really love this community. At one point, Marley got super excited and started romping around all crazy! It was so cute! So we kinda played for a minute and it was so much fun!! That guy is so cute and silly. We made a deal to be best buds forever! And then we shook on it!! The Scoop: 2 poops, many pees. Runner: Scarlett DGR RUN OF THE DAY

It was another gorgeous day to be out with Kahlua. What a world of smells today. It took a lot of convincing and quite a few treats to keep moving. So many stories to be explored and added to.. We still managed a good distance. . Upon our return, Kahlua just sprinted away without a second look at me. Sadie was more than happy to grab a few extra pets. The Scoop: 1 poop, 5 pees Runner: Meggie DGR RUN OF THE DAY   DISTANCE: 8.8 km DURATION: 1 hour 7 minutes Oh heavenly chinook! It was great to run Miss Ella in this warm weather. I also needed to work out my stiff back so having a good training partner like Ella was so helpful. We did a lot of hills today and were rewarded with a photo shoot at Hillcrest Avenue with one of the best views of downtown. Ella also got a treat for her pretty smiles. we were supposed to have a prospective runner on this run but he broke his foot. Ella knows all about injuries and the value of rest. I am so glad she is back to prime running form! The Scoop: 1 backyard pee. Runner: Ruth

I was definitely feeling a bit more tired than usual today, so Bridget and I took it nice and easy this morning. We just ran around on the sidewalks for the first half of our outing and it sure felt nice running on flatter terrain. Towards the end, we walked a little ways into the woods through the Douglas Fir Trails. It was so peaceful and quiet on the trails, I could’ve laid down and taken a nap. We only went over to the top of the stairs on the right side (Skier’s right), but before we turned back around, Bridget and I just hung out for a moment to enjoy the fresh air, the chirping birds and the view. Awesome job today Bridget! The Scoop: 1 pee, 1 poop. Runner: Ryan   Miss Marley is in the house!!! We all had been looking forward to the arrival of Marley to our home. She walked right in and of course went for the cookie jar. There are no flies on this gal. She may be in her senior years but she is as sharp as ever AND still the leader of the doggy pack. There was never a dull moment with doggy friends coming for sleepovers or a Nosehill walk with her favourite pal, Huxley. Marley would be the first at the door excited to get out. We all had to laugh as Marley put on an evening musical performance for everyone while she commandeered all the squeaky toys and showed Aoife, Ellie and Sophie how to really ‘squeak’. Marley was very delighted in her newest friend and kindred soul. DGR Sophie. Closer in age and an instant friendship was developed. Do not wait too long to come back Miss M, we miss you already.

Yahoo! Let's kick off the weekend early. Huxley pack your toothbrush. After your adventure today with the girls in Nosehill, you are coming for the weekend. Dogs like humans love the warmer weather and today Huxley, Marley B. and Aoife had extra spring in their step. The smiles were big, the roaming mode was on overdrive, and the fun factor was off the chart. This pack is longtime friends and just loves hanging out together. Let the weekend begin! The Doggy Business Report: Huxley had 2 poops and many pees. Marley B. had 1 poop and a few pees. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 11K DURATION: 2 hours 3 minutes
Good Morning Conor! Boy oh boy, winter is back. It feels like -30 Celsius this morning. Yikes! I am wondering why humans are not born with fur like doggies It was so cold that i didn’t even take photos for the first half of the walk. Today was our long walk day. Conor has matured so much since he has been going out with Leia. Like they say "Behind a good guy is a wonderful woman." Right Conor? There were not many people out. so we hugged the trails once more. We truly enjoyed our walk/trot. The Scoop: Conor had 2 poops and 1 pee. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY

It was a great first run with Koda today! She was very well behaved and loved my spinach/chicken treats. I'd say she had instant connection with me, but I suspect the cookies had something to do with it. Haha. It seemed to be about 10 degrees cooler running on the shaded side of the roads so we tried to stay in the sun as much as possible. It was a good thing she had her booties on because there was a lot of ice in some spots. Thanks Koda! The Scoop: 1 pee, 1 poop.

Today's episode of Running with Sir Avi is called 'The Pupper Perspective.' As you know, each Wednesday I wake up and immediately check the weather report. A normal person would say 'eww, yuck! It's negative 22 Celsius this morning'. However, when I know I'm going to be with my best boy Avi, I get excited because the cooler the temps, the happier the pup. So I bundle myself up and head out the door to greet my excited running mate and we start our weekly adventure together. The husky was the tour guide today and he took me up Cookie Hill and over to South Point with all the new construction. I had forgotten about the large off-leash dog park there but Avi sure didn't. We raced over to see who was there but there was not a single person/pup in sight. Only those with Huskies could imagine being outside today, I guess. Haha. So we carried on toward Avi's Pawrkette and my friend has a little newness in his routine. When he sits for his picture and treat there, he now also offers me his hand and then some kisses. Oh, how I wish Wednesdays could come up more than once a week just so I can be with this lovable boy!! We then proceeded around Willow Pond and enjoyed some sunshine upon our faces. I think we may have actually hit our farthest distance together today yet somehow it just doesn't seem long enough together. As always, Avi is a really good boy and a true delight to spend time with. See you soon, buddy. The Scoop: 1 poop, a dozen or so pees. Runner: Cheryl |
