 There was no doubting that Freckles & Archie remembered me when I walked in the front door. They both were pretty excited. We had an extended time together this time. We got into a routine rather quickly. Early morning coffee with Archie and he likes eating first thing in the morning. By my second cup of coffee, Freckles would saunter downstairs from under the covers in the bed I was sleeping. Freckles is not what you would call a morning pup like her brother Archie, who springs from his bed. Pending on what Calgary weather threw at us, would dictate what time Freckles had her walk. Archie, I noticed, was much happier in the cooler temperatures. Freckles seemed to appreciate the sun warming up the atmosphere before she would stick her nose out the front door. The dogs would zonk right out when I had my daily yoga class. We enjoyed our TV and couch time. Freckles was always inspecting, more like supervising, in the kitchen when it came to human food prep time. The Fur Kids will be extra excited to see Mom & Dad and get lots of love.

DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
  DISTANCE: 7.4 km DURATION: 1 hour 5 minutes
Archie was a super boy today and was very good at multi-tasking. He could run and face wash in the snow (so funny to watch!). On the way back, he caught the scent of something and was running with his nose on the sidewalk (also impressive, haha). Freckles wasn't too happy about my photo stops and kept closing her eyes (is that like a dog eye roll?). Thanks pups! The Scoop: Archie had lots of pee, 0 poops. Freckles had 2 pees, 1 poop.

Archie and I tried to take the big path along the main road but it was WAY too icy (the worst I've seen in any area that I run) so we abandoned that plan and came back into the community. It was better on the sidewalks but still some tricky spots. I put on his bowtie because it was so cute! Freckles started her turn super speedy - the fastest she's ever gone! It didn't last long and as soon as she did her business we slowed right down. There was a few times that she stopped hard to smell something irresistible. That caught me off guard. Thanks pups!

Archie, you are really excited to go out for some exercise! We had several detours to avoid other dogs. By the time we got back, I am sure Archie was feeling a little dizzy with all the zig-zagging and road crossing. Freckles and I had a less eventful time together. There was a rabbit that darted out from under a holiday trailer. It surprised both Freckles and me. It was a winter adventure today.🐾 The Doggy Business Report. Archie had 1 poop and many pees.

Hi Freckles & Archie. Ready for some exercise? Both pups met me at the door in excitement. Oh...someone has been peeking at the gifts. We had a little chat that today is not Christmas morning Archie was more excitable today. We ended up walking his last 15 minutes to keep things calm. Freckles was interested in a strolling Saturday. After she did her bathroom business, she was happy to head back home. We opened the door to find another Christmas gift that Archie thought was a chew toy for him. The Doggy Business Report: Archie had 1 poop and a few pees. Freckles had 1 poop and 3 pees. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY

There was 2 happy tails wagging in the window when I pulled up today (one on either side of the Christmas tree), It was pretty cute! The sidewalks were extremely slippery so I was pretty cautious about going slow. Archie didn't seem to mind and it gave us time to watch all the cars sliding in spots or spinning their wheels. Two young boys had slid their small car into a post and needed some help trying to push it out. Freckles looked adorable in her warmer coat and modelled for some pictures. Thanks pups! The Scoop: Archie had 2 pees, 1 poop. Freckles had 1 pee, 1 poop. Runner: Jessica DGR RUN OF THE DAY    DISTANCE: 6.7 km DURATION: 1 hour 2 minutes The dogs were extra excited to get out in the snow today and could hardly contain themselves while I was getting the key out. Archie loved rubbing his face in the snow and I had to convince him that we needed to keep moving. Freckles met us at the door for her turn and looked adorable in her sweater. It was pretty foggy/misty for the run but we still had fun. Thanks pups! The Scoop: Archie had 3 pees, 1 poop. Freckles had 1 pee, 1 poop. Runner: Jessica

It was a great afternoon for a run and Archie and I went a totally new direction to start with. We decided the best Halloween decorations are closer to your house. There was a sad lack of them on the first part of our run. I tried to take a picture of how smiley he was (you can see it in the shadow picture, it was so cute!). Freckles was so excited for her turn she had busted out of her area and was waiting at the door when we got home. Thanks pups! The Scoop: Archie had 3 pees, 1 poop. Freckles had 2 pees, 1 poop.

Both dogs wanted more run time today. Archie took forever to find a good place to go to the bathroom so we went a little further and I gave him lots of opportunities to slow down and get on with it but I think he was just prolonging his outside time, Haha. Freckles also wanted more time, I've been smarter about finding loops for her because I know she doesn't like to turn around and backtrack. I think she must have been step counting because when I started the loop back she still seemed to know what was going on. They are too smart! Thanks pups! The Scoop: Archie had 100 pees, 1 poop Freckles had 2 pees, 1 poop. Runner: Jessica DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 7.4 km DURATION: 1 hour 10 minutes
Surprise! I’m pretty sure both the pups were napping when I showed up today. Their typical runs are a little later. Either way, they were both happy to see me and both got the job done! Archie was really well behaved today. He listened perfectly an this was our best run to date! Little Freckles was ready to go forever away from the house, but turning around and coming back she wasn’t so fired up about. I spent some time with Freckles before, during, and after our run to show her some love and appreciation for her behaviour. Archie also got some good body scratches today in celebration of our best outing. The Scoop: 1 poop each. Archie had a handful of pees and Freckles had 2 pees. Runner: Brad DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Wet and wintery! Both Archie and Freckles were okay with the wet snowfall we ran through today. Both were well behaved as there weren’t any other people or pups out… just us and the crummy weather. Good times were had considering the conditions.. There were lots of steps for both, and extra pets during the rub-down with a towel when we got home. The Scoop: 1 poop each. Archie peed a bunch and Freckles peed once. Runner: Brad DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Freckles was quite sure she should run first today. When I got in the house, I could hear her upstairs and then next thing I knew she was down at the door trying to get first in line ahead of Archie. They were both really excited to run but were very well behaved while I got Freckles back upstairs to wait her turn. Archie is afraid of clowns....someone had a Halloween decoration in their bushes of a scary clown with a gown on. I was debating going to take a photo with it but then the wind blew and the gown moved a bit and Archie was startled. He jumped about 2 feet sideways and growled. Haha. I decided maybe a photo was a bad idea. Thanks pups! The Scoop: Archie had 2 pees, 1 poop. Freckles had 1 pee, 1 poop. Runner: Jessica DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE:7.4 km DURATION: 1 hour 7 minutes
Saturday Special! Archie was pretty excited as he watched me stretch outside. We were off to the races in no time! We sprinted a couple blocks, then they stopped to pee was all down hill for 15 minutes. Then, it was a steady climb back up. Freckles was game for sniffing and strolling. We hit the pathways and covered lots of grass. Both were awesome around bikes and other people. We didn’t see any other dogs. The Scoop: Archie had several pees and 1 poop. Freckles had 3 pees and 2 poops. Runner: Brad DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Archie was so tired after his run that he didn't even get off the couch when I got back with Freckles! Freckles had a back problem today....as in she didn't want to turn back to the house. Haha. She was quite certain we should have gone farther today. It was very enjoyable. Thanks puppers! The Scoop: Archie had 2 pees, 1 poop. Freckles had 2 pees, 1 poop. Runner: Jessica DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Archie was full of it today! He took the longest pee and the biggest poop I've ever seen,. Haha!. He was the perfect running partner and we went a little slower today because it was so hot. Freckles struggled today. She stopped and didn't want to go up a little hill we were on, I couldn't tell if she was walking with a little hitch or if it was the heat. She found shade to roll in which she loved and I had to use treats to coax her to move again. We slowly walked back because she stopped at every shady spot. Thanks pups!
