DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 4K DURATION: 1 hour
Good Afternoon kiddos! Whoa! What a special walk it was! The kiddos were very happy as always and we had a lot of splashing in the lake to celebrate something very special. Today was last day with DGR and I can say that I write those lines without a bitter sweet feeling. Ruth, you have been amazing to many dogs owners and runners! I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart… Also, it was with honour that Conor & Leia carried the flag for the closing ceremony! I am sure Java, Pinky, Mocha and Shadow are all joining me to thank you from the bottom of their hearts. Heck, I am not sure why I am crying but I am a suck at times. Wishing you all the best Ruth and please stay in touch!! The kiddos had an awesome walk. We all did The Scoop: 1 poop and fa ew pees for Conor. Leia had 1 poop and 2 pees. Runner; Fab

DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 9.3 km DURATION: 2 hours 8 minutes
Good Afternoon pooches! Well, it looks like everyone was sleepy this morning as no one woke up when I walked in. Somehow, it was perfect as dark clouds, thunder and heavy rain rolled in soon thereafter. It looks like we dodged that one! I came back early afternoon to take the pooches for a long walk. It was cooler than usual, so we didn’t need to cover Conor with his cooling jacket. All went well . Conor was a bit of little rascal little brother to his sister.. so Kop felt the need to step in and give him “the look”. It was enough to give some quieter time to Leia. Haha! I think we came back home just in time as I see more dark clouds coming in. The Scoop: 1 poop and 3 pees for Conor. Leia had 1 poop and 2 pees. Runner; Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Good Morning puppies! Believe it or not, the kiddos were wearing their PJ's when I arrived this morning. There was not any noise in the house. Could it be they had a party last night? I didn’t hear anything about it..so maybe not. The kiddos were happy to go out as always. They wanted to jump in the lake as it was already warm. Conor was good and happy as always. We dropped the boy off and went on our second lap. We went in reverse this time and it looks like we went quicker so it gave us a bit more time to go to our favourite water spot for one last dip.

Really? It was a gorgeous day. I think Conor is missing his walk.. First, he was at the door, ready to go this morning. When i dropped him off, he didn’t go hide per usual. He stayed by the door.. looking at us. Are we leaving him behind? Conor, you need to stay home when is too hot outside! The walk went well with Conor and Leia. Then, Leia went on for a second outing. The main thing with Conor being home is that Leia can enjoy some running so she was all happy! Both went for a dip in the water. The Scoop 2 poops and 3 pees for Conor. Leia had 1 poop and 3 pees.

Good Morning puppies! It will be a hot one today. Conor joined the party for the first hour. It was perfect as the weather wasn’t hot at all. All went well and the kiddos were happy to go for the walk and get some lake time together. Then Conor was dropped off at home after an hour. Leia went on for Round # 2 She was happy to get a date with Kop. To he honest, who wants to go out with your favourite boy and have to drag along your little brother? Yes, right.. nobody! The walk went well with a lot of lake time We got to see some babies loons who were so cute. The Scoop: 1 poop and 2 pees for Conor. Leia had 1 poop and 2 pees.

Good Morning Conor and Leia. What a beautiful day for a walk! Since there were was lots of doggies out and about, we decided to go straight to our favourite trails in the forest. So, here's where the juicy part of the story started. As always, I am walking along with pooches on leash. Only Kop is free to roam around. As we came to a sharp corner, Kop stopped and his ears were way up. I expected a deer or something like this. However, I glanced up at a bunch of black and white tails. There were about six of them. It was mama skunk and her babies. We were on a single trail so Kop was close to them. He probably touched their tails; he was that close. My heart was going fast. As we retreated in a hurry, Mama Skunk decided to chase us over 100 meters. We were running for our lives, The Kiddos didn’t make it easy on me as they WANTED to meet those news “puppies." I had to drag them as Mama Skunk was closing in on us. Finally after a good stretch, no one was following us anymore. My heart was pounding so hard! What an adventure! The rest of the walk was clear of any events. Thank the lord!! The Scoop: 2 poops and 3 pees for Conor. Leia had 2 poops and 2 pees. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Good Morning puppies! Okay, let me talk to Mother Nature. When I said Conor doesn't like heat that much, it doesn't mean that we asked you to dump rain on us everyday We agree that sunshine would be nice too. We took our favourite trail in the forest.. but I am not sure what happened since yesterday as it looks like a tornado went through it. There were so many trees down. Hmmm!! We couldn't believe our eyes. For those safety reasons, we didn’t came back the same way. The kiddos behaved very well. There was no skinny dipping this time around. It was too cold!

Good Morning puppies! It looks like we are about to have a real summer day. Finally! With summer days, comes heat, and Conor is not a big fan of it. So, I decided to prioritize his well being over mileage. We did back and forth in the forest's shady trails twice, just to make sure he was more comfortable. He seemed to be good by the looks of it and the kiddos love the trails much better anyways. We saw squirrels and ducks but no big wildlife. However, that was enough to make Leia happy. We went for a dip in water as always. It was a great outing for the kiddos and me. The Scoop: 1 poop and 2 pees for Conor. Leia had 1 poop and 2 pees.

Good Morning kiddos! It was another beautiful day for a walk! There was a cool wind at the start but that was followed by a warm sun. We took the forest trails twice. Once on the way out and then on the way back. Conor is having a hoot at surprising me these days. As we crossed the bridge, he found nothing better than jumping straight in the water. Then, Leia did the same thing on the other side of the bridge. It looks like kiddos took the matter in their own paws. They seem to be saying, "We want to swim and we will swim!" The rest of the walk was very quiet. The Scoop: 1 poop and 3 pees for Conor. Leia had 1 poop and 2 pees. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Good Morning pooches. Hey, it looks like we dodged another one. There was no rain or thunderstorm.. Yahoo! The walkie-trot was lovely and we took our regular trails! We saw a lot of wildlife. We were blessed with watching a beautiful loon, but then we realized we weren’t the only ones watching. A coyote was dreaming about the loon for his dinner. The Kiddos got to jump in the lake. It is funny how refreshed they are afterwards! The Scoop: 1 poop and 3 pees for Conor. Leia had 1 poop and 2 pees. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 9.3 km DURATION: 2 hours 2 minutes
Good Morning Puppies! Well, it looks like summer came and went already! There is no sunshine at all in the forecast! It looks like we may have 2 days without rain and wind before starting all over again! That said, the kiddos liked this much better. It was windy for the duration of the walk, but no rain. Leia loved walking in puddles, and Conor was okay not to jump in the lake; not even with Kop who was unleashed for a part of it, Nope, it is too cold! The Scoop: 1 poop and 2 pees for Conor.

Good Morning puppies! It was nice to see you on this beautiful Sunday! The weather was on the cool-ish side. We was very lucky to dodge the rain. Yahoo to that! I was a bit on the slower side today as my back needed more time to warm up. Thankfully, I was much better by the end of the walk. We took out regular route but we didn’t dip much in the water today. Since the sun wasn’t as hot, I figured it would take longer for the pups to dry. I can’t say they were totally fine with my decision. Kop was allowed to go in the water but not them? Really? Aunty Fab, you lost some serious brownie points here. LOL! It is so interesting how Conor behaves when Kop is around. He is way more quiet with his little sister! I think Leia appreciate that. The Scoop: 1 poop for Conor and a few pees. Leia had 1 poop and 2 pees. Runner: Fab  DISTANCE: 9.9 km DURATION: 2 hours 8 minutes
Today was a fun outing with Conor and Leia as we got beautiful blue sky and warm temps. The highlight was watching a triathlon. I think Conor and Leia could do all portions of it except the biking. It is always inspiring to watch racers of all levels compete. The Scoop: 1 poop by Conor and several pees for both pups. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Energy abounding, Mira, Nova and I headed to check out the Richmond Green space but encountered fence after fence. When we finally found a gate, it was no dogs allowed! Who could keep out these two cute smiling faces? That's okay though. We obeyed the rules and kept walking and found a really nice path and checked out the baseball diamond and saw some people having a blast at pickle ball. We also found out that the Calgary Horticultural Society headquarters are here. It was a day for sports and gardening. I think the girls had a great time. The Scoop: 2 poops for Mira and several pees for both girls. Runner: Danielle DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 10.1 km DURATION: 2 hours 2 minutes
Good Morning kiddos! Oh, who doesn’t like those summer-ish days? Maybe Conor. That Boy likes cool weather! We had an awesome walk. We changed our route a bit on our way back .. Leia and Conor were very intrigued by all those people sitting by the shore near the marina.. “Kiddos, they are fishing!” I am sure my gang wanted to join them to cool off as sun was getting a bit hotter and to help those humans catch fish.. Beside this, the walk was fairly quiet. We saw the usual runners, bikers, and people with their coffee in hand. Upon our return, walking through the H-park, it is like stepping back in time with all those wonderful costumes from way back when. The Scoop: Conor had 0 poops and 1 pee. Leia had 1 poop and 1 pee.
