DGR RUN OF THE DAY #4 
  DISTANCE: 5.7 km DURATION: 1 hour 12 minutes
Good morning Mr Conor! How is everyone in Portiesville? Today, I had a good chuckle. I am always planning a new way to find time to get a run in so I decided that I would go earlier to Portieville, park quietly and go for a run before Conor’s time. Well, not even one kilometre in and mommy texted me “Where are you? Doggies are going crazy! Well, so much for me trying to sneak that one in. Those Porties can hear very well 😂. On my way back, we took Conor for his little walk. It was sunny and windy at the same time. Not many people on the trails either. I guess it is too early for many people. We also changed our route. We traded the neighbourhood’s loop for more of a walk along the lake. We like it better that way! The Scoop - Conor had a poop and a pee. Runner: Fab

DGR RUN OF THE DAY #4 
  DISTANCE:4.9 km DURATION: 1 hour 7 minutes
Good morning Conor! Happy Monday to you and your family! What a beautiful day today. It is sunny and cool at the same time. I was so proud of you today. Mommy told me all about your doggy park adventures and how you handled yourself. It looks like you have been a superstar out there greeting many doggies with a lot of confidence!! Hurray to that! 😍👏 Today, the paths were empty. There was almost no one around but us enjoying an early morning walk. I have no complaints about it. Actually, we kind of liked walking with less traffic! The Scoop - Conor had 4 pees. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3

What a lovely morning! Conor and I had a really great walk today. We had a little bit of excitement in the form of a mom coyote so we had to turn around early and take a different way back to avoid her. Conor was super good and definitely was aware that she was around so she didn’t catch us by surprise. Can’t wait to see him next week! The Scoop: 1 pee, 1 poo. Runner: Abbey DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1 
 DISTANCE: 4.8 km DURATION: 1 hour 6 minutes
The weather was not the best today! Conor and I got rained on pretty hard but that didn’t slow him down or damper his spirits. The rain was nice though because we didn’t meet many people which definitely was great for Conor. He was a little slow getting out the door and seemed keen to continue sleeping but quickly woke up and was ready to go. Hopefully, we will get nicer weather for our next walk! The Scoop: 2 poops and 3 pees. Runner: Abbey DGR RUN OF THE DAY #5

Wow, Huxley, you are sporting a new athletic look. Huxley got a haircut. No more fluffy teddy bear look. Now a very lean looking athlete. I was hoping that Conor would recognize him🙃. Conor, you have also changed!! What a big boy you are. Blink and he grows. These two handsome boys and I headed over to Lakeview. Time to see how Conor felt about stairs and lots of cars, cyclists and runners. Conor did really well. There were some moments in the beginning that Conor looked back and sat down. Huxley would stand beside him and we would start moving again. Huxley was only focused on the water - let's go!! Conor took all the sights & people in. When we got to the stairs at Lakeview, Conor took a moment of contemplation. One step, two step.....zoom up all the steps. Hey, Hux move over! I am going to beat you to the top.🐾 Great morning out with boys. The Doggy Business Report: Both boys had 1 poop each. Conor had 1 pee and Huxley had multiple. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY #2

Oh little Conor, good morning to you! Are you ready to go? Today was a big graduation day for Conor. He broke the 5km mark. What a boy! He was full of energy and he had to say hello to each and every worker in Mommy’s home! 😃👏. The weather was good this morning so Conor was running a fast pace; leading all the way. He had a bit of a scare as “Freddy the Boxer” came flying to the end of his fenced backyard. I am not sure of the doggie's name, but we will call him Freddy from now on 😂. Conor is not used to seeing a big dog other than Kopek flying by so it was a bit intimidating for him. Besides that little event, all went super well. Conor was happy that his mommy included him in the “Big Canada Run” team. Go Conor go! The Scoop- just a couple pees for Conor. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1

Good morning little Conor! Oh oh.. it looks like it is a mop-doodle day. Needless to say, we got drenched today! Rain, ️rain go away. Conor was okay with it but Kopek was not a fan! We just concentrated on walking. We didn’t see many people out there. There were only a couple runners who were brave enough to go out with that rain! I didn’t take any picture during the walk as I was worried about the phone getting drenched. So we took couple photos when we came back. The Scoop - Conor had 2 poops and 3 pees.

Good morning little one! What a day today! First, I had to bring you up- to- date Conor. Tomorrow will be a big day at Heritage Park as it will open. You will see a huge amount of people from now on when we walk by. The highlight was Conor's free range time. Yup, you read it right. Conor was allowed to be free for a little. I found the perfect safe spot where he could roam on his own. I had double leashes tied together and had Conor exploring things at his own pace. He came to me when I called him back and he stayed with us when needed. This is huge for Conor and I am so proud of this. lil' man. Aunty Fab can’t be prouder, What a way to finish our week with flying colours!! The Scoop - one poop and a couple pees. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY #4

What a great way to start my day! Conor and I managed to miss the rain and enjoy a lovely walk together before the weather turned. He was a little bit distracted today by everything so we found a new secret path and didn’t see many people. I really enjoyed walking with him today and am looking forward to next time!

Good afternoon Conor.. it has been so long since I have seen you...looks like you hate veggies, you are growing so fast. Oh, it was a lot of kiss kiss with my dog Kopek today. I think they were both happy to see each other again. The weather was on the hot and humid side and we got to enjoy a mosquitoes festival. They are all out. Conor is safe with his big long hair but Kopek and I are easy prey🤪. Conor was looking behind him a lot today and pulled a bit on his way back. I stopped him, sat, and then waited a few second before walking again. Today, we walked slow so maybe he had a surplus of energy left.. The Scoop - Conor had a pee only.

Tuesday FUN day🐾🎉. Huxley got the green light for an early morning swim playdate with Conor. I could tell all the Porties had consumed their morning coffee. They were all bright-eyed and happy about the morning. Conor was in ’Social Mode’ today. ”There is a dog I might want to meet.” ”Hey, look there is a pup on the path up ahead I think wants to play?.” Huxley was nose to the water.🤩 These two do so well together that I gave them a bit of ’connection time’. Meaning they were leashed together and Huxley leashed to me. Conor was the big boy and led Huxley down to the water. Huxley bolted in just like a Polar Bear Swim participant. Conor's little legs were just going to try and catch up. By this time, he was leashed to me and I was not going swimming. So much fun for so early in the morning. Aunty Fab is back this afternoon. I give Conor an A+ for his end of the school report card. The Doggy Business Report: Conor only 1 pee. Huxley had several pees and 1 poop. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY #8

What a gorgeous day! Today, Conor and I headed down to the reservoir once again to celebrate the start of summer. He was a little bit nervous at the beginning of our walk again but quickly picked up pace and was loving the nice weather. Conor managed to get his feet wet in the lake and cooled down by lying in the shallows. We met bikers, runners, dogs, and walkers along our route and I was super impressed by how calm and brave he was. I can’t wait for our next walk! The Scoop: nothing to report.

Good Morning Wiggle Wiggle Bum. Conor had some swagger in his step today. That little bum.of his and tail were swaying big time. I think you must have had a fun weekend pipsqueak🐾. Today was our last ’All Business Run’ for my fill-in time w/Conor. We went over the Crowchild Bridge into Kelvingrove during morning rush hour. There were a couple of diggers and big trucks out that Conor was interested in. As we crossed over on the pedestrian bridge, a city worker was lying on his back fixing the railing. Conor went straight up to him, gave him a sniff and wanted to check what tools he had in his tool belt. Conor just had to meet this man. The guy was really great and nice to him. We watch as a few other men were chipping up a tree that they had cut down. That was really loud and Conor wanted to watch and get closer. All that great work, Conor deserved a cuddle. (I did wipe him down with puppy wipes when we got home). Little Pipsqueak - you have earned yourself a total play-date tomorrow. I have a surprise guest and there is lots of your favourite past-time in store. The Doggy Business Report: 1 poop, 2 pees and lots of puppy wiggles. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3

What a beautiful morning! Today, I took Conor out for our first walk together. He was a bit nervous to leave mom at first but as soon as we started walking, he gained a lot of energy and soon was (quite literally) sprinting down the sidewalks. We went down and walked on the beach near the reservoir to enjoy the early morning sunshine while picking up sticks and watching the ducks. He is certainly a water dog! Conor was a huge hit on the sidewalk- we had many people smiling at him or complimenting him. It was a beautiful day to walk and I am so happy to have been able to spend a bit of my morning with him. The Scoop: one pee. Runner: Abbey DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3

'Today was a working morning for Conor. The goal was to work through noises and extra stimulation. We headed over to the hospital. A fantastic opportunity presented itself along the way. Neighbour dog Chance was out for a walk. Chance was very excited to see Conor. They had a successful meeting and all tails were wagging. We had one more chance to meet Chance again and the energy level was much lower and Conor was perfect. ”Yay Michelle I met this dog earlier, what's next’. Off we went. The hospital was busier and there were people, bikes, patients and workers with lots of energy. Conor handled it well and sat and rested when he needed a break. We went down the pathway and walked parallel to Glenmore Trail. Noise, cars, police on bicycles provided lots of energy. Conor handled it very well. We took 5 minutes to just watch the cars and hear the noise. Not that Conor needed a break but just to see how his comfort level was. This pup handled that stimulation really well. For all that hard work, I have a surprise for you this afternoon. The Doggy Business Report: 2 poops and 1 pee. Runner: Michelle |
