DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
  DISTANCE: 5.5 km DURATION: 1 hour 3 minutes
Today, I got to fill in for DGR Runner Fab and take out siblings Conor and Leia. We did not have Fab's dog Kopek with us but he was with us in spirit. Let me explain. Kopek does Search & Rescue and that was exactly what Conor and Leia were doing on our run. They were able to find all sorts of treasures from a dead mouse to a napkin. Don't worry, they did not eat them. They also spotted a squirrel and watched it go up the tree. The best rescue was when I dropped by fluorescent pink glove, No worries, as Conor and Leia were on duty and helped me locate it. Conor was a bit playful with Leia at the end of the run but she let him know when enough was enough. Great seeing this sister-brother duo on this early Monday morning. The Scoop: 1 pee each and Conor had.1 poop. Runner: Ruth

DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
  DISTANCE: DURATION:
OMG! How cute are these two: Leia the Fearless and Conor the Brave! Leia led us on our walk down the path by the reservoir while Conor bravely marched by others on the path. The beautiful crisp weather made for a lovely walk with so many smells! Leia led us over the bridge, and Conor lent me some of his courage as we passed over top of the cars. After several treats and some pets it was time to turn around. Conor led us back, taking a moment to pester his sister and then sit for treats. The Scoop, Leia had several pees, Conor had several pees and a poop. Runner: Pat DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE: 5.3 km DURATION: 1 hour 23 minutes Oh hello kiddos, did you have a nice sleep in this morning? Leia was as exited as usual, Mocha went for a little stroll on her own in the neighbourhood, Java was resting on her Queen bench in the office and Conor was the good boy as he always is! Since Ennis was waiting patiently in the car, Mom got to say hello to the boy! When all this was under control, out we went.. My phone gave me a warning that snow would start at 10 a.m. in Calgary. Oh no, we don’t want that, not this early in the year. So, we did the snow dance and no snow fell. Hurray! I have to admit that it was cold today. The lake was agitated and the sky was very dark. There was a lot of activity on the path. A group of youngsters was learning how to skate and their funny way of moving and loud screams had Conor a bit worried. I let him watch and lie down to relax a bit. Then, we went home. The Kiddos had a great walk… The Scoop: Conor had 1 poop and 1 pee. Leia had 0 poops and 0 pees. Runner: Fab  DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Today’s morning walk with Conor and Leia had a bit of a faster pace for a few reasons. Reason #1) It was crazy chilly this morning, especially with a wind coming off of the reservoir. So the faster we moved, the warmer we were. Reason #2) Post Thanksgiving means I have a lot of food to walk off. Reason #3) We were turned around on the pathway because the police closed off the road as there apparently was a grizzly bear in the area. We had to get away from there! Conor can get very distracted when there is a lot going on around him, especially when dogs are walking behind him, so we made sure to keep moving so we could get back to our own space. Leia led the way for us the whole walk. She could be President I tell ya! The Scoop: 1 poop each and 1 pee for Conor. Runner: Kathleen DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 5.2 km DURATION: 1 hour 8 minutes
Good morning poochies! Time to wear my hat. I definitely need my gloves from now on! It was so cold or I have become one of those little princesses who can’t handle anything anymore. So today, Kop decided to take his toy along. This had some advantages as he was more quiet and didn’t ask the pups to play as much. Conor loved the idea and looked at me like “Hey, Aunty, how come you haven’t thought about this before? All went well until Kop dropped his toy on a narrow trail. Well, Conor said, "No way, am not going near that thing." "Aunty, can your ask Kop to pick this thing up?" So Kop did and all went well after that. Leia is always the quiet one. She observes and I am sure she shakes her head and rolls her eyes at time. She must be saying, “Oh, those boys!“ It was a beautiful morning. Have a great weekend! The Scoop: Conor had 1 poop and multiple pees. Leia had 0 poops and 1 pee. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 4.8 km DURATION: 1 hour 6 minutes
Good Morning Kiddos! Brrrrr.! Did I read this right? Did I see the minus sign before the temperature this morning? It was cold! I am not used to this yet. The Kiddos loved it. We didn’t see the female deer this morning but the pooches remembered where she was. I was looking out for her. Today, Conor decided that he would practice his yoga by the lake. There were some stretching moves accentuated by a beautiful “downward dog” position. Well done Conor! Kop wasn’t too impressed when I told Conor what a good boy he is.. Leia behaved like a princess as usual. The Scoop: Conor had 1 poop and 2 pees. Leia had 1 poop and 2 pees. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 4.9 km DURATION: 1 hour 8 minutes
Good morning Kiddos! Oh oh., these kids was wearing their PJs when I arrived still.. I know the feeling. It was so dark outside this early in the morning. It makes it so hard to wake up. I am the same! Once all dressed, we went out for our walk. What a golden morning! I wish fall would last 6 months of the year. Summer should be 3 months. Spring should be 2 months and winter only 2 days - just for Christmas time. The lake was so calm today. It was just so beautiful. I was talking to my dog Kop who was having a “delinquent moment" and Conor was on his back leg trying to figure out something. That something was a Lady Deer. Here she was just eating grass and minding her own business. She did not even care about us being nearby. I tried to take some photos but she never lifted her head.. The rest of the walk was uneventful. It was just a nice walk enjoy Mother Nature's beauty . The Scoop:Conor had 1 poop and 2 pees. Leia had 1 poop and 1 pee. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY

A crisp October morning with Conor and Leia today! There was a decent amount of frost this morning and I could see my breath, but when in the sun, you could feel the warmth! Nothing like pumpkin spice and soup season though:) Conor and Leia love frolicking through the leaves and taking in all the different scents. They do notice more noise though with all the squirrels running through the leaves too so they are always curious with what’s going on around them! Such a nice morning! The Scoop: no pees, 1 poop each. Runner: Kathleen DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 5.3 km DURATION: 1 hour 9 minutes
Good morning kiddos! Oh what a serenade I had when Java heard me coming. It was a real opera celebration! Since my favourite boy got to sleep in today. Leia and Kop went on a date. No need to say that mommy gave me that “no hiding behind the bushes allowed for those kids” kind of look. As we walk through the Heritage Park, Leia spotted a poster. She turned to me and said..”Aunty Fab, are your having a party for Christmas? Hmmm, I was surprised by the question so I looked at that poster and saw that it will be a FAB event at HP.. Yoo hoo Leia, maybe we should all go… As we walked the lower path by the lake, some gentleman warned us about a deer a little further on a path. So we walked to the bike path above to avoid disturbing that lady. This is when the deer decided to do the same thing and all of us met at that point. Kop knows what a deer is so he wanted to give it a good chase. Since it was bigger than a squirrel, Leia was just curious about it. The Kiddos behaved very well and we went on to admire all those beautiful fall colours. The Scoop: Leia had 0 poops and 1 pee. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Conor, Leia, and I took it easy today as Conor seems to have a bit of a sore paw. He did seem to be feeling better this morning so we gave him the go ahead on his walk. He did amazing, he didn’t seem to be limping for the second half of the walk and even got home to chase Leia around the house the minute his leash was taken off! So glad to see! He was in such good spirits the whole walk, so we are hoping there was just something that he had stepped on or something irritating his paw. Leia was an awesome support for Conor, always wanting to stay by his side. These two truly are the sweetest brother and sister duo. The Scoop: 1 poop each, 0 poops each.

It’s hard to think of a better way to start a Monday than doggy walks, a warm breeze, sunshine, and the full range of autumn colours. Such a beautiful morning! Conor, Leia, and I were off to the races as soon as we got the leashes on. These two really are best buds, they are practically joined at the hip. When one finds a scent, immediately the other has to go and sniff too. They take a good chunk of our walk side by side, often nudging at each other to play. But as siblings go, when one doesn’t want to play, they just ignore the other. They seemed to be very distracted today so it was hard to get a good pic of them looking at me, but from what I got, they looked pretty darn cute! The Scoop: 1 poop and 0 pees for Leia, 0 poops and 1 pee for Conor. Runner: Kathleen DGR RUN OF THE DAY

There is something so wonderful about morning fall walks. The pathway is so quiet, the water is still and the leaves are amazing colours! It has been months since I ran Miss Leia and Master Conor, and I have never run them together. It took me a minute to figure them out, but once we hit our stride it was great. These two have grown up so much since I ran them last. They both sit so nicely when asked. Leia was definitely the faster one today, but Conor happily kept up. We ran along the lower path for a bit and on the way back ran through Bissett Wetlands. We saw a couple of Northern Flickers, and Leia really wanted to follow them. Thanks for the great morning run pups!! The Scoop: 1 poop (Conor), 2 pees both dogs. Runner: Kathleen DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 5.7 km DURATION: 1 hour 21 minutes
Good morning kiddos! It looks like we are blessed with another beautiful day! As usual, we went for the loop around the lake. It looks like I lost my power of decision as the Kiddos basically told me which direction to go. I think my status of dogs walker has gone by the window and they are the ones walking me. Today, Conor was excited as he saw his little hooo-maan playing in the kids' park. Oh boy, that was Conor highlight of the walk. He would have left me in a second to join his little friend. Then, we took the forest trail and all went well there. This is the only time I can take cool pics of kiddos as they always trying to figure out where my dog Kop has gone. Haha! The Scoop: Conor had 1 poop and 2 pees. Leia had 0 poop and 2 pees. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY

What a beautiful morning! Conor, Leia and I went for our forest trail run with the sun shining through all the beautiful trees around! My hands were a little bit chilly first thing, but by the end of our walk I was all warmed up! I can tell how much Conor and Leia love running through the forest trails, as they want to stop and sniff everything, always have a smile on their faces, and always have their tails wagging. That is a sign of some happy doggies which makes me a happy runner! The Scoop: 1 poop for Conor, 2 poops for Leia, 3 pees for Conor, and 1 pee for Leia. Runner: Kathleen DGR RUN OF THE DAY

It was another great start to the week with my buddies Conor and Leia! It was on the cold side today. My car read -2C as I was driving there. Brrr! Good thing for that beautiful sunshine! I was up early to vote this morning so was on the tired side, but Conor and Leia had exact energy I needed to wake me up! They wanted to play together the whole walk, and were even pulling to want to move faster. We made our way along the path through the trees; taking in all the changes in colour. I really do love this time of year! Thanks for getting me up and moving today Conor and Leia! The Scoop: 1 poop each, 3 pees for Conor and 1 pee for Leia. Runner: Kathleen |
