Sun sun sun! Woo hoo, finally a nice warm and sunny day! Briar was giving chill beach vibes today as he seemed to have half as much energy as usual. There were a ton of kids in the schoolyard so we opted for a different route today. We made our way to the playground down the block, but it's super small so we hopped from grassy patch to grassy patch. Briar is getting better about pulling every time I see him so our walks have been easier and easier. I could still see a bit of a limp so we kept it uber slow again today; letting Briar smell and pee on each tree, bush and post as much as he wanted. Right near the end, he heard a dog barking from inside a house and nearly dragged me across their whole yard! He was so amped up! Poor guy is probably sick of our slow walks. The scoop: millions of pees, no poop. Runner: Gabi

The wind was a tad chilly but we still had lots of sun on our walk today. We stuck close to home and made a route around the schoolyard where it was much easier on Briar's legs. He did look like they might be bothering him today, so we kept it uber slow. We travelled from tree to tree because Briar had to smell and pee on all of them. So we sure didn't get very far but I think it's exactly what Briar wanted to do. There were quite a few other dogs out but Briar behaved himself very well and didn't pull too much, but he wanted to go say hi and play ssooo bad. Briar would start whining as they passed and I swear it sounds exactly like you'd imagine a bear sounds when it cries. When we got back I thought I would test Briar's tricks and skills and it turns out that he is super talented! He even rolls over! He also drinks SO MUCH water, this must be why he is a never ending fountain of pee. I caught some real funny, and slobbery, faces from him as he was drinking. The scoop, 1 big poops, many pees.

Lovely times, as usual today. Briar's energy was significantly lower today;, making him a lot more manageable on our walk. The short-leash tactic worked well again, and I think the hot sun helped too! It was very uneventful all around as a result. He behaved super well when we came across other dogs with very little pulling. We tried to find the grassiest areas to walk on for Briar's tender shoulder, and I think he enjoyed all the extra smells as well. His nose was glued to the ground constantly. He looked like he might be a bit sore today, however, so I tried to keep him slow and relaxed, as much as Briar can be! Many pees, no poops. Runner: Gabi     DISTANCE: 1.22 km DURATION: 40:13
Well today was very different from yesterday. Briar had twice as much energy and really was ripe for a good run. But that's probably how we got in this mess in the first place! So our walk was not quite as smooth as yesterday's. There was a lot more stopping and starting to get Briar to walk with a loose leash and to calm down. Yesterday's short- leash strategy definitely did not work today. He did start to correct himself near the end of our time, though he might have just been getting hot at that point. So it was quite entertaining seeing Briar back to his usual self, but he was still on his best behaviour. No naughty shenanigans at all. And, of course, lots of pets when we got back but he really just wanted to play at that point. Patience Briar, we'll get back into it soon! Many many pees, no poop. Runner: Gabi

Briar did super well today considering he must have been pretty bored and frustrated with me! I kept him on a pretty short leash to avoid too much pulling and tugging, so he didn't get to sniff around quite as much as he would like. But he listened really well even though he didn't seem too impressed when I would reward or encourage his patience. He'd take a treat and the drop it on the ground! Message received bud. He were able to cover more distance since Briar didn't get to stick his nose in everything, but it was really nice and relaxing to walk like that with Briar. Best part is all the pets and cuddles at the end! Briar wasn't super jumpy so we got some real good hugs in. I hope your shoulders get better real soon! Many pees, no poop. Runner: Gabi

It was another great walk with Briar this morning. He was listening really well, even when we passed by other dogs. But I could tell he really wanted to play! The slower you go with Briar, the exponentially smaller distance you cover. With quadruple pees on every tree, pole, bush and fence and his short attention span, we didn't cover much distance! We had lots of pets and cuddles after our walk, Briar was being so cute! He really didn't want to get his paws wiped but he put up with it. No poop and so many pees. Runner; Gabi

Long time, no see Briar! I'm happy to have you back for our regular walks. Today was another chill and easy-going walk. We're just waiting for his leg to be given the all-clear. It looked great today though! We walked through the cushy grass, which also meant we didn't travel very far. Briar wanted to smell everything, and peed on most trees at least four times before moving on. He listened super well today, even when he was distracted by other dogs. Glad to have you back bud! 1 poop, too many pees to count. Runner: Gabi

Briar was not content with just an easy stroll today. He wanted to get up and GO! Unfortunately, he is not allowed any such thing! So it made our walk interesting with him dragging me along as I tried to get him to relax. He had his nose glued to the ground pretty much the entire time; stopping constantly to get a good whiff. The outing was uneventful for the most part, just what the doctor ordered. Soooooo many pees, no poos. Runner: Gabi   DISTANCE: 1.50 km DURATION: 31:08
It was another ssllooww day today for Briar, but I do not think he minded it much. Since we don't want him exerting himself and pulling, he got to smell absolutely everything he wanted to. I think he must have peed on the same tree at least 6 times! Even though he is on rest, he had very good manners! I was very appreciative of his good behaviour. Unfortunately, he was feeling a bit camera shy and most of the photos were so blurry! I had a real good cuddle again when we got back. I can't help but give that big goober a hug!! Hundreds of pees, no poop. Runner: Gabi    DISTANCE: 1.13 km DURATION: 20:47
Briar and I had our orders today to keep it short and sweet today, Briar's gotta keep his focus for his big show! We had a very relaxing little walk around the block; basking in the sun and smelling all that spring has to bring. His leg is looking better from last week. Hurray! Because it was a short one, we had lots of cuddles and pets when we returned. No poops, 10+ pees. Runner: Gabi

It was a wacky day with Briar today. He has an on-going fascination with garbage trucks and nearly dragged us after one. He is also a drool machine, I always leave with some trace of his face on my pants! The sun was ssssooooo nice today! Briar was as excited as always to get outside. He did really well correcting himself even though I could tell it was hard. We had an extra lot of stop-and-go today because Briar wanted to pull pull pull! (And smell everything). We got back super early and had a great time in the backyard, his playful side is always there but when Briar finally gets to play you can tell how happy he is. He loves to run around the yard! 1 poop, 10+ pees. Runner: Gabi

It was another great jog today with Briar. We retraced our last route backwards. We could not have asked for a anything more beautiful than today (well at least this morning!). It was business as usual until Briar caught sight of a jack rabbit and you can imagine a pretty comical "OOF!" from me as he took off trying to catch it. Too bad he had this pesky human slowing him down! Briar always reminds me that runs with him are best enjoyed at a very easy and leisurely pace. Life will pass us by if we don't stop to see the sights and smells the roses. All around good manners today. 2 poops, gazillion pees. Runner: Gabi

Briar wants to play play play! He wanted to say hi to everyone and every dog. Any leaf that blew past was prey that must be caught! We managed to miss all of the gloomy clouds and rain. It was just sun, grass, and fun for Briar today. We had a great time playing with the soccer ball when we got back, Briar is SO CUTE when he plays! No other toys were quite as interesting as a deflated soccer ball. Once he had it, he would not be persuaded with anything else. Briar was an absolute gentleman today- perfect behaviour all around, I think we may have just become best friends! No poops! 10+ pees. Runner: Gabi

Another awesome run with Briar today. We took a well-run route and enjoyed the perfect running weather! He was such a good boy today and had great manners on the leash. It was a joy! We had a bit of a play in the backyard before we started because Briar was just soooooo bouncy and excited. We found some more great sticks to keep our jog interesting. The only hiccups were when we went by other doggies. Briar just wants to say hi and play so bad! He seems to want to mark everything less these day which makes for a much smoother run. 1 poop, 10+ pees. Runner: Gabi

Briar had an awesome run! He showed me his best behaviour to-date! He spent most of the run trotting at my side; only getting excited when he spotted another doggie. We took a newer route today, too bad it turned out that almost all the green space is golf course. LAME! Briar knows EXACTLY where the dog parks are. Anytime we got within a block or so of one, I'd feel him tugging towards it. He's such a friendly guy. He did great with the weather for the first half, then we lost the cool morning air and he got a bit tired so we had a real relaxed second half of our adventure. I could see he was thinking of jumping a bit so I grabbed some ammunition (sticks) and when he did try some shenanigans his mouth was too busy holding on to his stick! 1 poop, 1 liquid poop, and tons of pees.
