DGR RUN OF THE DAY #2 
  DISTANCE: 8.8 km DURATION: 1 hour 53 minutes
HAPPY FRIDAY CHARLIE! My friend was on a mission of sniffin’ today. He had no time for our usual Olympic Stick Tossing games it was all about exploring which lead us right down into the coulee. Great choice my friend! There’s nothin’ like a good old fashioned coulee crawl on a warm day to keep us cool. On our travels (in the coulee) we met a couple of city workers who were absolutely lovely! So friendly that we stopped and chatted. They told me what a wonderful pooch I had and let’s just say I agreed with them....😊 Anyways, we continued on until we found ourselves back at the ranch. Thanks for making my day Charlie! You always do! 2 poos and several pees. Cheers and enjoy the weekend. Runner: Tracy

DGR RUN OF THE DAY #2 
  DISTANCE: 7.1 km DURATION: 1 hour 24 minutes
Charlie and I got an early start today to beat the heat and he did great! We ran a bit and explored some pathways that were located in the shade. It was already 20 degrees at 9 a.m. so I let Charlie set the pace. We found a little creek and some new pathways we hadn’t been down yet. I even gave him the option of wading into the water but he was content with just sticking close to me and staying in the shade. Lots of people and dogs to say hello to as well. Everyone was out early this Tuesday morning as expected. A neighbour even offered her sprinkler later if we wanted.....lol The Scoop: lots of pees and one poop. Runner: Denise DGR RUN OF THE DAY #2

CHARLIE! I know I’m yelling but I was so looking forward to seeing my friend again as it’s been a while. This handsome fella had a little more perk in his twerk than usual and so we ran for a good 5 km! But after that, it was back to our usual lallygagging pace which involved swimming, stick toss and snacks! All good my friend as it was well deserved. What a fantastic way to end the week! Thanks Charlie you always make my world a little brighter! 3 poos (runny) and several pees. Cheers sunshine! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #10

It was a last minute run today with Charlie. He was waiting at the door when I arrived excited to get going. We took off down the street and he did really well. It was getting pretty hot out. We rotated walking and running and took advantage of the shade when we could. Charlie is still not convinced about the doggie water bottle so I think it’s going to be a hard sell, I’ll keep trying though. On our run, Charlie does know exactly where the duck pond is and as we got closer his little ears went up and off he went. When I found him, he was neck deep in the water just sitting there with a look of relief on his face. He jumped out, did a good shake, and was pretty much dry by the time we got home. There was no stopping him this time! The Scoop: lots of pee stops and two poops today. Runner: Denise DGR RUN OF THE DAY #4

Yeah, I got to have a run with my favourite guy Charlie today! He was waiting for me when I arrived and was ready to go. We started off a bit slow as Charlie had to get reacquainted with our route so there was some sniffing to do to make sure we were going the right way I’m sure. Charlie kept up pretty well and I started a bit early just in case it got as hot as they said it might. I also brought a doggie water bottle which he wasn’t sure about at first but did finally try near the end. We did some exploring off- leash and Charlie spotted a pond with some ducks and he was heading straight for it when I said no and he turned right around. It was funny to see his reaction, I just pictured a soaking wet dog, which would have been fine as we can always dry him off but the pond was pretty muddy and yucky looking. He’s such a good boy and always comes running when I call. The Scoop: lots of pees and 3 poops. Runner: Denise DGR RUN OF THE DAY #7

YAY! The holiday dog has returned! I have been looking forward to seeing my friend again as it feels like forever and a day since I’ve had the pleasure. And as always, Charlie never disappoints. Sure he’s getting a little long in the tooth but aren’t we all? I know am! We may have not ran as much or played as many Olympic level stick tossing games as usual but we had a fantastic time. Charlie is just a great guy and everyone we came across felt the same way. Thanks for keeping me company today Charlie! So glad to have you back🥰 2 poos and several pees. CHEERS and have a GREAT weekend. Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #6

A surprise run with Charlie today! I was very happy to get to see this guy 😊! We started early as it’s supposed to be quite warm today. However, I’m not sure where the sun went? Charlie was excited when I arrived and came running out of the house ready to go. He kept up really well but of course loves to stop and check things out and to say hi to a few doggy friends. I did let Charlie off-leash for a bit but he wasn’t interested in venturing too far. He kept right by my side ❤️! We made our way home and he got some treats and some extra hugs. I will be excited when we get to go for a run again. The Scoop: lots of stops to pee and 2 poops today. Runner: Denise DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3

I just can’t tell you how much I look forward to my runs with Charlie! Although today wasn’t really about running as we were in the peak of the heat and our tongues were hanging down to our ankles. Today’s mission was all about shade, water, stick toss and of course having fun! Mission accomplished! Thanks for braving the warm temperatures today my friend you're the greatest! 2 poos and many pees. Cheers! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #9

What a great day today! Charlie was ready and excited when I arrived. We took off down the street but smells are tempting for Charlie so he, of course, made a few stops to check them out and leave his mark. About half-way through our run, we ran into DGR Runner Tracy out with DGR dogs Mona and Reilly which made our day! Charlie got an extra treat and Tracy and I got to say hi after not seeing each other in quite a while. We were off again for some off-leash time; exploring and having a roll in the grass before making our way home with both our tongues hanging out. Phew! The Scoop: lots of stops to pee and one poop.

Charlie wasn’t really feeling up for running today and who am I to argue with that sweet face? After all, it’s his adventure not mine! We were on the same page as far as being more social than usual. Clearly, we aren’t a shy pair and took every opportunity to say hello to our other lonely Calgarians..... My friend also pooped himself out after the second game of tossing the old tree limb around, so we headed straight for his favourite swimming hole. Once he was completely satisfied, we leisurely made our way back to the cool comforts of home. Thanks for a very happy outing today Charlie! You made my day!🥰 3 poos and several pees today. Cheers!

Charlie was so happy with our route from last time that he opted to do it again. Fine by me! I’ll do anything for this handsome boy and he knows it🥰After our usual meet and greet, we headed off happily trotting side by side like we have been doing it for years. Once we hit the party zone, it took my friend a while to find a stick but when he did (as I knew he would) it was on like Donkey Kong! I can’t believe I just used that.... now I know I’m losing it. After that, we headed over to the watering hole for a swim and when Charlie was ready we hit the road and made our way back to the abode. Thanks for making my day my friend! 2 poos and several pees. Cheers and have a great weekend! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #5

Hello Charlie! My run today with Charlie was quite a change from the last time. He was feeling much better and moving better as well. Charlie did want to stop quite a bit in the beginning as there were so many things to check out now that the weather is nice There are also so many people out now as well that we had a hard time finding an area to go off-leash but we did finally find a spot to do some good stick fetching. With Charlie tuckered out, we made our way back for a much needed rest. The Scoop: lots of stops to pee and one poop. Runner: Denise DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3

I couldn’t think of a better way to spend a Friday than with my friend Charlie. We always seem to lose track of time when we get together as it’s not hard to do with this guy. He’s a FANTASTIC dude! We ran (believe it or not) to the bottom of the hood and then the games began. Making his way to the watering hole, Charlie went for a rather lengthy but well deserved swim. When he was satisfied, we then made our way back to the comforts of home. Thanks for such a lovely time today Charlie! 1 poo and many pees today. Cheers and enjoy the weekend!

I was happy to see my buddy Charlie today for a run in the sun! I was told Charlie was bit bit slow yesterday so we started out with a light jog and he did okay for the first bit then I noticed him slowing down and falling behind me. He was trying so hard to keep up but it looked like he was a bit stiff and sore and was favouring his right side. I slowed down to a quick walk and he trotted beside me watching me the entire time. Charlie did find a stick along the way and wanted to play. I threw it a few times but then we moved along so he didn’t strain himself too much. I felt bad as I could tell he wanted to move faster but just didn’t feel up to it. Next time - my friend The Scoop: about 5 stops to pee and one poop. Runner: Denise DGR RUN OF THE DAY #7

Charlie and I had a marvellous time today! No surprise there. We hit the road running until, yep you guessed it my friend found a stick. He always looks at me before he picks it up as to ask if it’s okay. Of course Charlie, I can’t refuse that sweet face of yours! And that pretty much set the tone for the rest of our adventure. Thanks for ending my week on a high note Charlie! Take care and we shall see you soon. 1 poo and several pees today. Cheers and enjoy the sunshine! Runner: Tracy |
