DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE: 7.3km DURATION: 1 hour 1 minute
Sniffing all the smells! Kali was definitely interested in smelling all the smells before the rain washed them away today. She spent the first 1.5k of our run with her nose in the grass. Then, she lead me straight to the dog park, and gave me a bit of a disappointed look when I said we were going the opposite direction. She is a lovely pup, I really enjoyed our soggy run together today. The Scoop: 2 pees,0 poops. Runner: Michelle W.

DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
  DISTANCE: 4.5 km DURATION: 1 hour 1 minute
I got a bonus Gibbons and Toki run this week, as I got to take them out on Friday in addition to my usual Tuesday and Thursday outings! While the weather was overcast and not super warm, it didn’t dampen the girls’ enthusiasm one bit- after they got out of bed and woke up, that is! Both Gibbons and Toki were very cozy in bed upon my arrival, and had to undertake the always difficult task of leaving the warmth and comfort behind in order to brave the great outdoors. They were up to the task, though, as everyone’s legs were moving and the blood pumping in no time. Toki’s hunter instincts kicked in early on in our run, as she was quite focused on the birds by the pond and had her sights set on going after a few of them. Gibbons was more content to sniff around in the grass, which of course contains many items of interest. It was a very peaceful and quiet morning around the neighbourhood, which the girls and I always enjoy. We did get to meet an older couple who were delighted to say hello to two Vizslas! They had nothing but compliments for Gibbons and Toki, and who could blame them for praising two wonderful dogs! The Scoop: 4 pees and 1 poop for Gibbons, 2 pees for Toki.

Marley and I enjoyed the fresh Friday air this morning! His knee has been quite swollen recently, so we opted for the walk for 10 minutes/jog for 2 minutes cycle. This seemed to work well for him. Marley was a bit silly today and enjoyed pulling sideways on the leash... this could’ve been providing relief for his leg? Regardless, he had a smile on his face the entire time - who can resist that? Enjoy some R&R this weekend, Marley man! The Scoop: 1 poo, multiple pees. Runner: Lucia DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 5.1 km DURATION: 1 hour 14 minutes
Good Morning Princess Leia! Oh oh, looks like you are going second today! Oh, you sure didn’t accept this without a fight.. 😆😆You sure tried to join at the last second! Regardless, you went at your usual time.. which makes you first still 😆😆. We had a beautiful walk. We took a different route on the way out. It was nice to visit the boat area. Leia wants her mommy to get her a boat to go on the lake... hint, hint...haha! Leia was impressed with Kopek carrying a huge branch. Both dogs played the Zoom Zoom game as usual. It was a beautiful walk for the three of us. The Scoop: 1 poop, 2 pees. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 9.6 km DURATION: 1 hour 57 minutes
From this day forward - Mona and Reilly’s Thursday adventure shall be know as “ Mud Wrestle Mania!” I’m not sure how these two kids do it but where there’s mud, there’s Mona and Reilly! Good times! My friends were very specific about which way they wanted to head today and in my best efforts to try and keep them clean we went in the opposite direction. Haha - I failed…. Oh well what can you do? Especially, when your out partying with a couple of adventurous spirits! Luckily on our way back, the gals hit a less stinky pond for a refreshing cool-down. Thanks for another delightful escapade ladies! 3 poos for Reilly; 1 poo for Mona and several pees each. Cheers and have an exciting weekend! (insert sarcasm here). Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE: 7.3 km DURATION: 1 hour 39 minutes PUPPY PARTY 🎉 The sun is shining and it is almost the weekend, it is Puppy Party Time.🐾 The pickup rotation started with Huxley, then Marley. Huxley knew he was getting one friend but not 2 - yippee. (Actually 3 friends but we will get to that)😊. Then it was Sully's turn next. Sully bumped Huxley out of the middle seat because HE wanted to sit beside Marley. The last pick-up was Aoife. The Fur Kids were super excited to all be together. Henry chauffeured the ‘Princesses’ over to meet the Blonde Boyzz at the hill. Snack time and some water slobbers.🤪 A great way to start the weekend. The Doggy Business Report: Huxley had 2 poops and oodles of pees. Sullivan had just oodles of pees. Miss M had 1 poop and a few pees. Runner: Michelle  DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE: 5K DURATION: 1 hour 14 minutes There were no concerns about thunderstorms today, as the girls and I were afforded clear skies and bright sunshine for our morning run! Gibbons was super duper excited to go out and certainly made the most of her outing! She had so much fun listening to all the birdsong and trying to identify each and every animal the neighbourhood plays host to. Toki impressed me by hopping out of bed right away to go out for our run; showing enthusiasm that usually takes a few minutes longer to develop! Both girls did really well to be very polite and socially-distanced when coming across other pups. I think they’re the gold standard for all the dogs in the neighbourhood, as both G & T are superstars at being calm and polite no matter the situation! Great job today girls! The Scoop: 4 pees for Gibbons, 3 pees for Toki. No poops today. Runner: Dan  DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE: 7.5 km DURATION: 1 hour 9 minutes
A run with Emmy was a great way to start off this warm Thursday morning! Emmy is such a speedy girl. It was great to have someone to keep the pace. A few really good smells and chirping birds distracted Emmy along the way but as soon as she realized the birds didn’t want to play we were on our way! The Scoop: 4 pees, 0 poops. Runner: Kerstin DGR RUN OF THE DAY

After a few months of rest and recovery, I was finally able to get a little bit of running in with Buck today! We just did some intervals of around 5-10 minutes running and then a long walking break, and he did so great! He was actually the one in the lead wanting to run faster! But I didn’t want to push it, because sometimes after a long break, it can be exhausting getting back into exercise. I think each week we can add on a little bit more distance, of course depending on how Buck feels. I thought it was so cute when I had arrived, as Buck was waiting for me at the door looking out the window. I sure am lucky to have a four-legged friend like Buck. No Doggy Business to report.

What a nice walk we had today! The sun started peeking out from the clouds and warming us up as we went; encouraging the flowers in gardens and the fields to grow. We spotted this lovely little purple flower on our way back! As we crossed towards the golf course, guess what we saw! A sailboat! My picture doesn't do it justice, but it was neat seeing it skim across the water ⛵ Soon there will be more, and I can't wait! The Scoop: 1 poop, 1 pee. Runner: Eve DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Happy Cinco de Mayo, Kahlua! A lovely day to hit the pathways with this gal. There is nothing out of the ordinary to report, Kahlua was motivated and energetic which made the run easy going. She earned plenty of treats by staying focused when we would spot other dogs in our path. We did need to divert our route a few times to avoid busy, pup-filled sidewalks. This wasn’t an issue though because we opted for exploring the downtown streets instead of the river way. The Scoop: 1 pee, 1 poop. Runner: Lucia DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE: 8.8 km DURATION: 1 hour 53 minutes
A•Rebb•A! Today is Cinco de Mayo. Let's vamanos over to the ‘Hill’. Something was extra intriguing there today. To be more precise..... Sniff-A-Licious for both Reba & Aoife. We met up with a lady whose Doodle just got bit on the bum by a coyote. Maybe this is what Reba was trying to tell me when she was sniffing the air and pointing. After about 20 - 25 minutes of sniffing and on-leash, it was party time. These two crazy gals had some crazy dance moves and spent lots of time playing and chasing each other. Heading back to the vehicle was back on the leash and I could just tell these gals celebrated big.🤣 The Doggy Business Report: Reba had 1 poop and 3 pees. The last pee was just before getting into the Jeep. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY

It’s always nice to see my gal pals Mira and Nova as they have a way of instantly making me forget about the crap we are all going through. As usual, my friends were eager to get going as we flew down the street I was barely hanging on or touching the ground for that matter. Fortunately for me, this soon came to an end because we tried to mix things up and head down some different streets. This always means more stops; only because there are new and different smells. Thanks for all the laughs today ladies! 1 poo and many pees for Mira; 3 pees for Nova. Cheers! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Well, it was a good run. Yup. A very good run. Dodge and Jersey have very different running styles, but in the end, they get to the same place. Dodge has his sprints at the start, but slows towards the end. Jersey’s running has the consistency of whipping cream.... as in very consistent. The weather was good and running through Fish Creek Park was a joy. 1 pee each. The Scoop: several pees for Jersey. Runners: Ruth and Noah DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Today, Gibs was gearing to go and Toki was still snoozing when I arrived. So we did a little warm-up around the ponds. Suddenly, we heard this weird dripping noise. The girls and I looked around and saw this crow on the fence making the most incredible noises. We chatted with him for a bit and then completed our double pond speed walk. We dropped Gibs off and Toki and I did a short little jog. We also spent some time at the top of the hill getting pets and some love. Sometimes it's important to have days where you go slow and enjoy the scenery. The Scoop: just pees for Gibs and Toki. Runner: Tara |
