​Hello Ennis. - it is always so nice to have you over for a sleepover.  My dog Kopek loves to have Ennis with us has he has a brother to play with. When Ennis comes over, he is the big boss!  He always tells me when he needs to go out, where he wants to go for a walk and how long we are staying outside...  🤣 We got to go play in the river and we met many doggies.  Time sure flies when we have fun.  Ennis, your stay was too short! Hope you can visit a bit longer next time as Kopek is already missing you.

Happy Friday Ennis!  Jump on in and let's get our long weekend started.  The smile Ennis has on his face when you pick him up is so contagious.  Upon arrival at my home, it was masculine overload with Ennis, Sully and Kenny.  The boys thought this was the right ratio to keep ‘Aoife the kid’ in line.  Saturday had a total flip on dimension!!  Now it was ‘Young Female Power’ with Little Lola’s arrival. Kenny & Sully had to leave their ‘bro' alone with these young gals.  Ennis loved being part of the excitement but at a safe distance from playtime.  Ennis and Aoife do really well and like to remain pretty close to each other in proximity. There was a first this visit, when we all went to Nosehill.  Ennis jumped into the back with Aoife and this is their new seating arrangement when in the Jeep.  Usually, Ennis gets the middle seat, but he was pretty happy to stay with Aoife.  They also take on the adventures of Nosehill side-by-side.  Aoife has a big brother now in Ennis.  What a lucky girl!  I hope to have you come visit real soon.

​When I picked up Ennis on Wednesday, he jumped up and gave me a big hug.  Well hello sweetheart, that was the best welcome ever!  Off we went, back to my place where Aoife was not so patiently waiting his arrival.  ‘Oh Ennis….. let's play!!’   On Thursday, Ennis and Huxley were reunited and these two had some ‘boy fun’ at Nosehill.  That was a rather hot & humid day. Friday was even MORE females. Lola arrived for a quick visit.  Ennis and Lola get on really well.  They walk together just perfectly and side by side next to me.  This has to be the most ‘Zen Pairing’ and I just love taking these two out together. Lola like to sit beside Ennis in the Jeep.  I can not believe that our long weekend has come to an end so quickly.  You get some peace and quiet now at home and time to recoup from all that ‘Girl Time’. I can see your little smile Ennis, you were pretty happy.  Hope you come and stay real soon.  Ennis ate really well and he did fantastic on all his walks.

Sunday Fun at Nosehill. Ennis, Lola and Aoife hit the trails and scents this morning. Ennis and Lola are the perfect pair. They are pretty chill when it comes to having doggy fun. Let Aoife bounce around and get the hi-jinx out and these two walk beside me full of Zen. This was just our last activity together before Miss L goes back home later this morning. A lovely peaceful outing.  The Doggy Business Report: Lola  had 1 & 1. Ennis 1 poop and a few pees.

Hey Huxley, Ennis and Aoife, so you know what the ’hot topic’ of today's blogs will be? Pant pant, that's right....the heat🤩. Ennis is staying with us for the weekend. Nosehill seemed to be the best choice for our outing. Huxley, Aoife and I ran over to the park. Henry chauffeured Ennis. The temperature was rising. We walked our loops and Aoife had enough. She hitched a ride back home. The boys still had pep left. We had a steady power walk home. Now for a couple of bowls of H2O. The Doggy Business Report: Huxley had 2 poops and many pees. Ennis had 1 poop and multiple pees. Huxley ready to go swimming?

Oh hello Ennis.  It looks like you will spend another weekend with Aunty Fab.  We are  lucky! Kopek and I love to have Ennis over. Ennis is a great teacher to Kopek. He showed him how to not worry when mommy runs to the grocery for few minutes.  Great job Ennis.
This weekend we got to spend a lot of time at the Bowmont Park. With the heat, we made sure to find shade and water. We did our longest walk  early  in the morning or later at night. We had a very long one on Saturday night.  There was a lot to sniff and  we played in the river so we forgot all about time.  We all came back home 2 hours later feeling tired and smiley!   We had bones and toy time. Ennis ate his 2 meals a day.  Ennis would be right in my face if i forgot! You know that feeling when the boss walks into your office. and you know that it means trouble Thank you Ennis for an other Fab-ulous weekend.

Oh, look who is coming to spend a couple nights at Aunty Fab?? Ennis.. Hurray!  It has been so long since I have seen that boy!! By the look on his face, Ennis was equally happy to see me too.  As soon as Mommy got his food and bed ready, Ennis zoomed by us when we opened the door to run to my car to go see his new friend Kopek. Those two are like 2 lost brothers who just found each other.  They had a lot of fun!   Because Ennis had a sore shoulder for couple days, we did 3 to 4 very short walks with a tiny bit of freedom a day. I had to bribe Ennis with a good treat for him to forgive me when it came time for me to go for my daily run. Want a nice bone Ennis? Oh, this did the trick.. I don’t think he even saw me leave the house. Today Ennis' shoulder seems much better.  That is such great news! Do you know Ennis is a “foodie”? Hahah! Yup, Ennis loves peanut butter so since he has been a picky eater, I added some to his meal. Gloop gloop and it was was gone in a minute.  Beside that, Ennis enjoyed his nap listening to jazz music and borrowing Kopek's bed.   All went super well.  The weekend went by so fast.  Oh, I am going to miss you Ennis. Oh wait, you are coming back next weekend.   Right?? 🥰
Kopek and I can’t wait!  See you soon Ennis.

'Hi Ennis - swoosh he was out his front door and in a flash, in the back of my Jeep.  That always just warms my heart.  This time it was a bit more challenging because there was also one of his humans vehicle that had the back hatch open.  By the time I made it down the front steps I was wondering whose vehicle he would be in.  Without skipping a beat, a big grinning Ennis was looking back at me from my hatch.  I just love this guy.  What a weekend was planned for him!  Our house was Doggy Central and lots of fur friends to play with.  Ennis is the quiet type so he found his usual spot on Friday and enjoyed just the girls' energy from a safe viewpoint. But first, he had to tease Aoife upon his arrival and nabbed her outdoor bed first.  He looked pretty happy with himself. Then, there was Party Overload at Nosehill, I love the pic with Ennis and Sully (the Yellow Lab).   They look like they are in cahoots together.  Ennis took front and centre in the group photos and was loving it. On Sunday, we kept things rather quiet and recouped. It was a great day for lots of snacks.  Ennis walked in from the backdoor and looked straight at the doggy cookie jar.  Of course, he got one!!  On Monday, it was a chilly day.  Ennis was so loving when I wrapped him in my scarf.  He just smiled.  I hope to pick you up again real soon in the “Michelle Express” and you come and stay for awhile.  You are a super doggy house guest.

Everyone at my household was so excited that there was going to be some Ennis time today. I was really looking forward to seeing Enny Binny Bo Bo🐾. Ennis’s welcome did not disappoint. As I have said several times, but it is one of my favourite characteristics of Ennis’s, is his departure from his front step into my Jeep. I see you still remember that move, as he is in mind flight into the back. We picked up Aoife, who by the way, has been waiting for Ennis since 3:20 this morning😳. My bad - I will never make that mistake again. Of course, Henry had to greet Ennis’s long-awaited arrival with a treat or two. Off Ennis, Aoife and I trotted over to Nosehill. Let's get that big hill over and down at the beginning so it was clear sailing on the homeward bound portion. It was rather muggy today so we all took it rather relaxed on our outing. The Doggy Business Report: Ennis had 1 poop and several pees. We have ALL missed you Enny Binny Bo Bo🐾.

We have to make today a ’Special One’ for the Tres Amigos🐾. This is the last outing this pack will have for a while. Ennis goes home later this afternoon. Miss Marley goes home tomorrow afternoon, and Huxley doesn't come to stay until late tomorrow night. There is one place I know is like Disneyland to a dog. It is Nosehill so here we come!! There was a little talk that everyone had to listen too first. ’Everyone has to stay close to Aunty Michelle up here.’ Marley & Ennis took my chat very seriously and I don't think they got more than 20 meters away from me. Huxley was a great boy, I know he loves to check everything out and spread his wings. He stayed very close and I could always see him. This pack does so well together, I hope the ’Tres Amigos ’ reunite soon🐾. The Doggy Business Report: Huxley had 2 poops, Miss Marley had one poop and Ennis has 1 poop.  Many pees for all doggies.

As soon as the party was about to begin, it stopped. Mona and Reilly were confused at first and then they saw “Scout”. That’s what I’ve named Tuscany’s neighbourhood coyote as I’ve seen him/ her more times than I can count. Well, this changes everything.... Mona, Reilly and I headed into Scenic Acres where they could run and explore to their hearts' content! On the last leg of freedom, we ran into another pack of wild animals! No, it was Huxley, Marley, Ennis and Michelle 😁 We had a short visit and said adieu. After that, the gals and I made our way back home. Thanks for a marvellous time today Ladies! 2 poos and many pees each. Cheers!

​Los tres amigos en Tuscany🐾. Some days as a runner/walker you just get it right. 😊 My original thought with all this snow was that Huxley & I would go XC skiing. With having my two special house guests, Marley & Ennis. I contemplated what would Hux want. Oh my, before he got to the door of the jeep and realized BOTH Marley and Ennis were with me, danced. Like the real ’Happy Dance’. Hopping and prancing. Well, my choice was confirmed. Good job Michelle! The Amigos had lots of fun together and then we spotted DGR Dogs Reilly & Mona and their runner Tracy. Now, this was a true party and the ’Amigas outnumbered the Amigos’. The Doggy Business Report: everyone had lots of pees. Huxley had 2 poops. Marley & Ennis had 1 poop each.

Triple Treat Thursday in Tuscany🤩. Huxley, I have a big ’Treat’ for you today. Ennis is back staying with us and he & Aoife are coming on our adventure. These 3 had so much fun up & down in the coulee. The weather was fantastic the ice was slick slick. These 3 had no worries about traction. Michelle did the ’Granny Shuffle’ even in her Icebugs🤣. Nap-time for Ennis & Aoife. Hydration and snacks for Huxley and we are off again to get Marley B. 🐾.  The Scoop: 12 pees, 2 poos.
