DGR RUN OF THE DAY #2

DISTANCE:  2.9 km DURATION: 49 minutes

Good morning girlies! The air felt chilly today and I can feel the temperature starting to drop. Gibbons and Toki were thrilled to join me on an adventure, despite the cold wind. I was so pleased to see Gibbs bounding with energy and excitement! She led Toki and I around the first pond and then soon pulled us to where we saw the deceased bunny last week. She truly is a hunting dog ! We stopped a few times along the way to do some sniffing and to readjust the headwear keeping us warm. The girls were such troopers today in the cold and were rewarded with the warmth of the sun as we made our way back home. The Scoop: 4 pees, 0 poops for Gibbons. 1 pee, 0 poops for Toki.

The weather outside was frightful but the girls' snowsuits were so delightful! Today Gibs, Toki and I bundled up and adventured up into the hills. We quickly warmed up on the up-track and at the top. I snapped some photos, while the girls sniffed. Gibs, especially liked staying cozy on the walk but every once in a while I'd see that she shook her scarf over her eyes, which she didn't really seem to mind? Haha. I wanted to do a run that Gibs could join for the full hour so we let her lead the way. She did so well and only sat down once to declare she was done. So nice to see the girls 3 times this week. Stay cozy! The Scoop: Gibs had many pees, no poops; Toki had many pees, no poops.

G&T Excited with Their Bunny Find

​Happy Friday Gibbons and Toki! I was thrilled to see that the forecast was predicting warm weather for our run this morning. After a quick catch-up with “mom”, the three of us set off for our outing! Within 20 feet of the front door, a slippery path nearly sent us tumbling to the ground. Luckily, we caught our balance and were able to find some clear paths. After some wandering and exploring led by Gibbons, I was suddenly pulled towards the middle of a cul-de-sac. I looked down closely to see what the excitement was about and to my surprise I saw the remains of a rabbit! The girls were incredibly interested (I don’t blame them) so it took some serious convincing to move along! After dropping Gibbs off at home, Toki and I made our way to the ponds. We intended to do our favourite figure eight loop but quickly changed our minds once we found out the trail was more of a skating rink than path. What a great Friday run. Happy Weekend girls! The Scoop: 7 pees, 0 poops for Gibbons. 4 pees, 0 poops for Toki.

Of course, on this windy stormy day the girls and I found a pocket of sunny weather! With angry clouds all around us, we went on a lovely jog around the neighbourhood. With the gusts of wind and icy conditions, we didn't go fast but the girls were loving it; especially Gibs who galloped most of the way. Then, a huge gust came and we saw fluff falling from the sky! Snow? Nope an insulation bag broke and was taken by the wind. Toki and I did one more spin around the hood before we called it quits and headed home. The Scoop: 0 poops and a few pees for both girls.

DISTANCE; 14K  DURATION: 2 hour 1 minute

This Monday started off with a chill  but the girls (Gibbons and Toki) and I bundled up. Toki has been getting cold ears so we both rocked the head tubes. Toki was looking so fab that a handsome Great Dane would not leave her alone. By the middle of our run, the sun came out and it was another beautiful day for a run.  I think these girls are my lucky weather charms. The Scoop:  2 pees for Gibbons. Toki had no poops but many pees.

It was a brisk & bright morning which made for a great run with Gibbons and Toki! It was definitely chillier than earlier in the week but the sun made up for it, and the fresh air was super refreshing. The girls got all bundled up with their jackets and scarves and made the most of the weather! Gibbons led the way for the first half of our run and had a ton of fun jumping around in the snow and smelling all the exciting smells to be found! Toki was eager to get a good pace going to stay warm and we got going pretty fast. There’s no better way to stay warm than by running hard! Awesome job again girls! The Scoop: 3 pees each for Gibbons & Toki.

DISTANCE:  5.5 km DURATION: 1 hour 12 minutes

Despite it being overcast and not quite as nice as the previous day, it was still an awesome day to run with Gibbons and Toki! Both girls were a bit sleepy to start things off. I didn’t even hear Gibbons’ customary barking as I came up the driveway which was a bit weird! The sleepiness was quickly dashed away once we started out, though. The fresh air was super nice and there were plenty of interesting sights & smells to investigate. It was a tad too chilly for Gibbons to go on one of our longer routes so we stuck to a shorter loop for her. Toki kicked it into higher gear during the second half of our outing and we were going at a good pace! Toki, in particular, is a really good dog to run in the winter because she’s so good at avoiding icy and slippery patches- which is good for both of us! The Scoop: 4 pees for Gibbons, 2 pees for Toki.

​Gibbs and Toki are starting the new year back in black and pretty in pink! A wonderful day with the girls. We warmed up with Gibbs' fav double pond loop. Toki and I decided that after all that X-mas eating and New Year's celebrating that we would challenge our long run pace and we did 14km in record time. A great start to 2021! The Scoop: Gibbs had many pees, no poops. Toki had many pees, no poops.

DISTANCE: 4.9 km. DURATION: 1 hour 3 minutes

The snow came but it wasn’t too cold & the girls were prepared! Having fresh snow but temperatures just around zero is somewhat of a sweet spot, because we get to enjoy the snow without freezing! Gibbons and Toki definitely enjoyed the snow and our run was a lot of fun. They love sniffing & exploring in the snow and they look so cute when they get a little bit of snow on their noses. It was a tad icy on the roads and sidewalks but where there was lots of snow.   We had good footing and the girls were speedy as ever! The fresh air was super great to get me going on the day so I can finish the last couple assignments I have for the semester. As always, Gibs & Toki put a smile on my face and helped motivate me to tackle the day! The Scoop: Gibbons had 4 pees and Toki  had 3 pees.

DISTANCE;  5.8 km DURATION: 1 hour 13 minutes

It’s only two days into December but it’s been pretty great so far! Two runs with the girls on days that both had perfect weather felt like an early Christmas present! With the sun out, both girls were excited to get going & enjoy the fresh morning air. Gibbons has been so fantastic lately. From time to time, she needs encouragement to get going but the last few times we’ve gone out, I haven’t had to cheer her on at all! Toki was energetic right from the start this morning as well, which was awesome since sometimes she’s a bit sleepy in the morning and takes a few minutes to wake up. It was a quiet and peaceful morning and we took advantage of the mostly empty streets & paths. Toki has really been enjoying going up into the hills so we made sure to head up there again. I think running down hills with Toki lets me access a level of speed that I do not naturally have. Toki is just that speedy! The Scoop: 6 pees for Gibbons, 4 pees for Toki.

It was a windy one! Luckily, Gibbons and Toki are always dressed for the conditions. Today’s fashion choice included matching fleece hoodies - so cute! It took some convincing to get Gibbons passed the driveway, but once we got going it was full steam ahead. These two dogs run so smoothly together, there’s never any crisscrossing chaos! They cue each other when they’re stopping which makes it a lot easier to keep eyes on both of them while running. The second half with Toki flew by! We attempted to travel on a forested trail, but it was way too slick and steep of an incline (mainly for me). It was a pleasure running with these two this month! Gibbons - multiple pees, 0 poo. Toki - 1 pee, 0 poo.

​Gibbons is on a roll!! Despite the chillier weather today, Gibbons did awesome again to get outside and show off her speed. Toki seemed a little surprised at how quick Gibbons was going and had to kick it up a notch to keep up, which lead to the always-fun racing Vizslas. Then, it quickly became me who had to put it into a higher gear to keep up! After dropping off Gibbons at home after half an hour, Toki and I continued along. We decided to challenge ourselves a bit more and tackle some of the steeper hills overlooking the neighbourhood, which Toki loved. It’s very quiet and peaceful up there which is a very welcomed break from the busy city. It was definitely a needed run for me, as I needed to wake up a bit and gain some motivation for doing schoolwork later today. The Girls made sure I achieved that! The Scoop: 4 pees for Gibbons, 3 pees for Toki. No poops today.

Toki, Gibbons and I were eager to get outside this morning, after 2 weeks apart. There was a light snowfall last night; making for a chilly run this morning. We 3 gals were bundled up well and moving as quickly as our thick snowsuits allowed. Apparently, we were the only brave souls in the neighbourhood today as everyone else seemed to be staying indoors. We took lots of cuddle breaks to warm up and made sure our ears were always tucked into our scarves. It seems like Winter is right around the corner! See you tomorrow girlies. The Scoop: 2 pees for G and 1 pee for T.

Gibbons and Toki are the two most fashionable pups! Today they sported matching hoodies, which accentuated their cuteness. Toki went solo first - Gibbons needed a bit more time to get prepared for her shift. Toki is super quick and that was by far our fastest pace yet! When we picked Gibbons up, she was ready to kick it up a notch too. Both dogs did so well today and we have the kms to prove it. They haven’t quite gotten used to the amount of photos I take of them, but I couldn’t help but snap a few with their cute outfits. Gibbons was a good sport when I put up her hood for her head shot. Looking forward to more fashion adventures with these two! The Scoop: 1 pee for Toki.  Gibbons had 1 poop.

It was my first run with Gibbons and Toki today and it was a fun one! When I picked them up, I admired how much they look alike - I even had to ask how I could tell them apart when I drop Gibbons off. I also love the amazing outdoor gear their owners have for them.  They are very prepared for the winter weather that’s coming our way. They did a lot of sniffing, walking and quick sprints.  It was nice to explore a new neighbourhood and let them lead the way. Toki, in particular, is very speedy and we covered a lot of ground in our final 20 minutes together. Gibbons - 2 pees, 0 poo. Toki - 1 pee, 0 poop.
