Great, sunny, windy run today enjoyed by Archie and Freckles. No animal sight -seeing today but heard an angry wind that tried to blow us away! Great run doggies!!!

DGR RUN OF THE DAY # 2    DISTANCE: 8.9 km DURATION: 1 hour 7 minutes
Vitamin D & full blast fun with Archie and Freckles. What a beautiful day for a run. At the start, there were some pretty strong wind gusts to the point that if Archie was a Chihuahua he would have been picked up off the ground. Both dogs were great company today as we splashed through puddles, ran over ice/snow and most bare pathways which is a nice change. Freckles was really good today as we had a handful of times where we were close to other dogs with no other way around but she listened well and we were able to keep moving. I am excited to what we have in store tomorrow The Scoop 3 pees for Archie. Freckles had 2 pees, 1 poop. Runner: Scott DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1    DISTANCE: 7.6 km DURATION: 1 hour
Tough sledding with Archie and Freckles Well, today was tough for running. Some icy patches, some pretty deep quicksand feeling snow and a few places with a combo of both. The one constant today was how good both dogs were. Archie didn’t enjoy getting his boots on to start but with all the salt I’m sure his paws appreciated it. We had a couple of spots today where we encountered other dogs without much room to change course and he did well as long as I was holding the harness. Freckles always looks so comfy when she runs in her jacket. I did notice when I was drying her off that there was a raw looking spot in her front right armpit so something to keep an eye so it doesn’t get worse. Freckles was hopping over little snow piles today which was funny as I really haven’t seen her do that before. The Scoop: 3+ pees for Archie, just the 2 for Freckles and Freckles also pooped.

I really enjoyed the view with Archie and Freckles today. What an absolutely stunner out there! It was so great enjoying it with Archie and Freckles. Both dogs seemed quite happy to run full out 95% of the time but we still found a few ice patches so we did have to slow down once or twice. As usual, the dogs did really well on this run. I used the harness with Archie again to give his snout a break and the collar for Freckles. The Scoop: 1 poop for Freckles and the usual much more pees than tracked for both dogs. Runner: Scott DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3  DISTANCE: 4.7 km DURATION: 1 hour
Slip Sliding Awayyyy! I was SO excited to see these two little love muffins today! It had been a long time! Apparently, they felt the same way about me. Archie played hard to get for a few minutes as usual, but, a man after my own heart. Eventually, he caved and came for the cookie. We slid into some booties, slipped into the harness, and slid and slipped all the way around Legacy! Neither of us could go as fast as we wanted to in the icy conditions, but we did our best to avoid the super slick patches and frolicked through the fields instead of the sidewalks. Archie slid around so much that he popped one of his booties right open! No feet were harmed, though, only his dignity. Freckles was much more tolerant of the slow pace today, and her lower centre of gravity seemed to work in her favour on the slippy patches. She happily trotted along beside me as we avoided ice and a very exuberant Yorkshire Terrier. She managed to keep her booties on and didn’t blow a tire like Archie did. The Scoop: Archie - 1 poop and many pees. Freckles - 1 poop and 3 pees. Runner: Ashley DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3

Today’s run was so much more energetic! Archie was pulling hard as soon as we were out of the door! I could barely catch up on all that thick ice. I should have worn my cross-country skis. No poop again. Hope it’s ok. Freckles got her energy back and was pulling hard at the beginning of the run as always! As we were running on that beautiful ridge, we saw how one dog owner was running after his dog to rescue him as the dog broke loose and was running away. It was entertaining. We both laughed. Archie had several pees Freckles had several pees and poop. Runner: Jane DGR RUN OF THE DAY #2

Oh the weather outside is frightful, but coats and booties are so delightful! Archie had some mini-zoomies of Joy when I arrived at the house today! He attempted to evade me when I reached for his booties, but little did he suspect that I know he has a weakness for treats. After a little coaxing, we got bundled up and went out for a quick 20 minute jaunt in the deep freeze before returning home to play some tug with his favourite stuffed duck. We had another quick little run around in the backyard (where I believe he may have munched on a poop-sicle? He was too quick for me to find out for sure!). He then settled in for a snooze in his crate while I went to get Freckles. Sweet lady Freckles did not ‘pup-preciate’ the temperature outside, despite her very fashionable outfit, so we only stayed out for about 15 minutes and then had some pets and snuggles inside. As soon as we returned home, she didn’t waste a single moment before running over to the dog bed and curling up! I’m with her - hibernation sounds pretty good for the rest of the day! The Scoop: Archie - 5 pees, Freckles - 2 pees 1 poop. Runner: Ashley DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3

Stylin’ and Profilin’ with Freckles (read in your worst fake Italian accent). So here we have Freckles in her new beautiful new coat where she is meeting both function and fashion. She is rocking the cat...er...dog walk unlike her runner who is clearly only going for function. A blue face mask with a green toque = why must he clash like that? (Ok, end of accent). Well we lucked out as once the wind died off 10 minutes into our run it was really quite pleasant out today. With the sun shining too that hit of Vitamin D was also very welcome. Freckles ran really well today although I think I tired her out as the last kilometre or so was a little slower and she was quick to go lay down as soon as we got her home. The boots went on real easy today as Freckles is quite cooperative about putting them on. The Scoop: 1 poop and quite a few pees so I stopped marking them after the meaningful ones.

It was so great to be back out running today especially with Archie and Freckles. We took advantage of the nice weather (might not be saying that soon) and enjoyed the sunshine. Both dogs ran really well today, in fact, I was the slow one; perhaps one too many Christmas cookies? Archie wanted to run and wasn’t that interested in having his picture taken today although he did give me a great selfie. Freckles was also happy to be out although at two different forks in the road she gave me looks as I don’t think we went the way she was hoping for. I got a unique picture of her today as I caught her being distracted by a drone overhead so that was different angle then we usually capture. So happy to be back out with them and can’t wait to do it again tomorrow. The Scoop: 1 poop for Freckles and nothing for Archie. They both had a few good pees but I did stop counting all the little ones that were just meant to colour the snow. Runner: Scott DGR RUN OF THE DAY #2

Going Dora mode with Freckles So today Freckles and I got our explorer on and went looking for new trails. Because it was just the two of us, we had time to go looking for a path I have seen but never was able to figure out where it started. It turned out to be quite the nice little path. It had some little ponds, benches, and an open space to really run through. Freckles ran really well and never seemed to tire out today. She picked up extra energy towards the end which was unexpected and a good push for myself. The Scoop: 2 poops and 8 pees. She seemed to want to mark our route so we can find it again next time.

Today was Day 3 in a row with Lady Freckles and we had so much fun again. Today, we had no plan to start until we saw our first pumpkin and then it turned into a pumpkin hunt. We found some in excellent locations so those are our pictured ones. We found a couple others that were in rough shape which Freckles wanted to try to eat so we had to move along without a picture. Can’t wait to see her again tomorrow. The Scoop: 1 poop and 5 pees. Runner: Scott DGR RUN OF THE DAY #2

It was so much fun to see Archie and Freckles again today after a few weeks. After mostly sticking close to home last time, this time I let them show me around the neighbourhood much more. Archie found some fountains and ruins (I think they might be fake but didn’t want to tell him that). Freckles also pointed out the same fountain after a slight detour looking for more green spaces. Both ran so well again, I can’t wait to get back out with them soon. 1 poop for each, 3 pees for Freckles, and I lost count with Archie as we had a lot of marking pees.

I had so much fun today meeting and then running with Archie and Freckles. We formed an instant friendship as Archie was snuggling up to my leg so tight I actually had a hard time getting out the door. We explored mostly around home for our run today as I wanted learn their personalities and any visual cues with them. Archie was able to run for 40 minutes before I brought him home to take Freckles out. Freckles did really well running compared to what I was led to believe; it must be the perfect fall weather. They both run so dignified compared to my pup that I was calling them Sir Archie and Lady Freckles. I can’t wait to see them again in a couple of days. I did lower the nose piece on the collar just for pictures after giving a really good look around so I hope that’s ok. 1 poop and 2 pees for Freckles and only pees for Archie but I did lose track on the number. Runner: Scott  
 DISTANCE: 7.1 km DURATION: 1 hour 12 minutes
It was a great run with both Archie and Freckles today. With the help of YouTube, Archie and I had a successful harness experience and that really helped with our run. We ran the ridge and both ponds. Then it was Freckles' turn and she had spunk today! The Scoop: Archie had 9 pees, no poop. Freckles had 1 pee, 1 poop. Runner: Brenda 
 DISTANCE: 5.7 km DURATION: 1 hour 15 minutes
It was nice to meet Archie the big ball of energy today. He was out the door first and ready to go! We stuck to all the paths in the area and checked out all the bushes and shrubs on the way. After 40 minutes out and about, we headed back for Freckles' turn. Freckles and I went for a slow 20 minute exploration of the paths in the other direction. The Scoop: Archie had 20+ pee and no poop. Freckles had 1 pee and 1 poop. Runner: Brenda |
