Happy Sunday Gibbons and Toki! The girls just got back from a summer vacation and were itching to get back out into the neighbourhood. The sun was shining bright in the sky as Gibbons, Toki and I made our way to the main drag. The neighbourhood was having their Stampede Breakfast at the community hall today. The girls were thrilled as we approached the petting zoo and saw goats, sheep and pigs on the other side of the fence. After a quick pit stop to see the animals, we continued on the main drag. We completed a big loop along some quiet roads near the climbing centre. We made a few pit stops in the shade for gulps of water and of course some treats. We took it easy for the last 15 minutes, walking home and enjoying the cool breeze. The Scoop: 0 poops, 3 pees for Gibbons. 0 poops, 1 pee for Toki. Runner: Jaime

The first official day of summer arrived today and I was excited to get to share it with Gibbons and Toki! The girls had been away for the last little while, so we were all happy to see each other and get back outside together. Gibbons was very eager to reassert her presence around the neighbourhood and let everyone know she was back in her territory. Accordingly, we spent our fair share of time scouting out every nook and cranny we came across,. Of course, Gibs had to mark everything as her own territory before we moved on. Toki was a bit groggy at first, as she was still shaking off the effects of her road trip meds, but she was her usual self in no time. By the end of our run, her tail was wagging away and she was ready to keep on playing once we returned home. Great job today girls! I can’t think of a better way to kick off the summer than a run with two good vizsla pups! The Scoop: 3 pees for Toki and a zillion for Gibbons. No poops today. Runner: Dan DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Spending time with the Vizsla Sisters. It was a beautiful day to be outside with G and T. They enjoyed sniffing around the pond and staring at the ducks. They met up with Shelby, the dog, and wanted to interact with her. It was cute because they usually avoid other dogs on their walk. Gibbons did 24 minutes today. Toki and I continued by doing interval walking/jogging. The Scoop: 10+ pees for Gibbons, 0 poops. Toki's Scoop: 2 pees, 0 poops. Runner: Ginette DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Happy Friday! Rossi was pretty excited to see me walk through the door today. He came charging toward me and got all the chest scratches! We took off with him grabbing the leash for the first couple blocks. After that, he was by my side the entire run. There were lots of people out on this beautiful day, Rossi took me to a new water hole off of our regular route. Good times were had, and the tongue was flying! The Scoop: 2 poops and all the pees.

Gibbons, Toki and I had a little dance on the driveway before setting off for our adventure. It was a beautiful, sunny day which brought out the joy in everyone we passed. We saw a little boy and his mom watching some ducks frolic in the pond. As we looped the second pond, Toki began chasing birds while Gibbons gave a big smile to some kids playing in the field. The sun grew stronger and us girls searched for shaded paths to take us home. On our route home, Gibbons and Toki were complimented for their beautiful coats. This seemed to be a big morale booster for the girls, as they picked up the pace and ran home. The Scoop: 1 poop, many pees for Gibbons. 0 poops, 2 pees for Toki. Runner: Jaime DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Happy Thursday Gibbons and Toki! I was greeted politely at the door by Gibbons, Toki, and the hedgehog toy in Toki’s mouth. With the stormy weather, we suited up in our raincoats and set off for an adventure. Today’s outing was all about birds! We first came across a giant crow, taunting Gibbons and Toki from up in a tree. Next, we ran into a couple magpies fighting over their breakfast. Toki was mesmerized by the birds and took a little pause to admire their movements and sounds. We were the only ones out and about in the neighbourhood today, so we enjoyed a very peaceful outing together. We were lucky to only have a light sprinkle and occasional wind gust during the first half of our run. Mid-run, the wind picked up and it began to pour, sending me and the girls running for shelter. Once home, we dried off and Gibbons and Toki enjoyed a couple treats. Toki immediately grabbed her hedgehog toy again, encouraging me to play tug-of-war and catch with her. Gibbons joined in a for a few minutes then settled into her spot in the window for a cozy nap. Enjoy the rainy afternoon girls! The Scoop: 1 poop, several pees for Gibbons. 1 poop and 4 pees for Toki. Runner: Jaime DGR RUN OF THE DAY

It was a windy Friday morning run with Gibbons and Toki. Every so often the sun made an appearance, warming us up each time. Off the hop, Gibbons led me and Toki directly to one of the neighbours’ lawns. She sat down and looked as though she was waiting for someone to come out of the house and greet her. About 30 seconds passed then Gibbons decided she was ready to take on the rest of our adventure. The girls’ both stopped to sniff a very cool, antique-looking car, where we took the opportunity for a photo op. The theme for today’s run was chasing crows for Toki, and chasing butterflies for Gibbons. Gibbs was ready to head home around 40 minutes so we stopped by the house and then Toki and I continued onwards. Toki led me straight for the ponds where we were hit by a refreshing mist from the fountain. We made our way through the park in the middle of the neighbourhood before heading back to reunite with Gibbons and « mom ». The Scoop: 0 poops, many pees for Gibbons. 0 poops, 3 pees for Toki.

Spring has officially arrived for Gibbons and Toki! It was an absolutely perfect May afternoon to take the girls out and we had a blast today. The pups were both super excited to see me when I arrived. Toki even stole my shoe and wanted to play a game of keep away under the table! Fortunately, I was able to fish her out and finish getting geared up to go outside. The girls were really happy they didn’t have to wear any warm clothing and they zoomed along with their coats gleaming in the sun! They even got a compliment on how nice their coats and colouring looked by a couple we came across on the pathway. That’s certainly one of the good parts about the weather getting warmer! Both Gibs and Toki still had some energy to burn once we got back home, so I took the girls into the yard to have a play. After a few minutes, they were content to visit with me on the lawn and bask in the sunshine. What a life it is, being a good Vizsla pup! The Scoop: 5 pees for Gibbons, 2 pees for Toki. No poops today. Runner: Dan DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Happy Friday girls! Today’s adventure started off with lots of excitement. First, we ran into an outdoor cat roaming around. The cat took Gibbons by surprise and I think startled her a bit. We definitely aren’t used to running into kitties on our outings. She made sure to stay a good 15 feet away, while maintaining eye contact, until we had passed (very Covid conscious of Ms. Gibbs). Next, we heard a flock of birds chirping back and forth with a couple dogs. We had no idea where the dogs were, but could hear them and could see the birds circling overhead. Toki was VERY interested in this interaction and wanted to chase after the birds. Gibbons was rather indecisive today about which directions she wanted to take, so Toki and I offered some encouragement to keep us moving along. Around 45 minutes, Gibbons decided she was done for the day, so we swung home to drop her off. Toki and I finished the run off with a quick loop around the ponds and back down the main boulevard, towards home. The Scoop: 0 poops, many pees for Gibbons. 0 poops, many pees for Toki.

What a beautiful, sunny day for an outing with Gibbons and Toki! Gibbons was chipper as ever this morning; barking at me and Toki to hurry up and get out the door. We set off with Gibbs taking the lead down one of our favourite routes. We ran into an adorable Golden Retriever puppy that couldn’t have been older than 6 months! As we looped around the first pond, we were greeted by a small construction crew. The girls LOVED the attention and strutted their stuff. Towards the end of our adventure, I got a nose bleed out of nowhere. Luckily, I had a few Kleenex with me and the girls were content to take things slower for the last bit of our run. Thanks for the great run G&T! The Scoop: 1 poop, several pees for Gibbons. 0 poops, 4 pees for Toki. Runner: Jaime DGR RUN OF THE DAY

The “spring” weather continued today with another wet and snowy afternoon during my run with Gibbons and Toki! We had slush on the ground and snowflakes swirling about, but it wasn’t cold at all which made for perfectly fine running conditions. The girls went out separately today, as Toki was still working her way out of bed once I arrived, so Gibbons led things off for us! It was quite apparent they she wasn’t super enthused about the weather situation, but she put on her tough doggy hat and managed to battle the snow long enough for a sniff & pee break. I’m sure warm, proper spring weather is right around the corner & Gibbons will be back in her element very soon! We returned to a sleepy but ready to go Toki and the two of us headed out. The wind picked up a bit and we spent a fair bit of time running into it. It felt like we were zooming down a ski hill on a snowy morning with all the snow blowing into our faces! We could’ve used some ski goggles, which would’ve made for quite the sight around the neighbourhood. I personally think Toki would look super cool with ski goggles on- maybe next winter she’ll acquire some! Until then, I’m hopeful we’ll get more and more sun and clear skies as we move closer to summer. The Scoop: 1 pee for Gibbons, 2 pees for Toki. No poops today. Runner: Dan DGR RUN OF THE DAY

What a beautiful, sunny Friday for an adventure with Gibbons and Toki! I could hear the girls barking as soon as I parked my car and knew we were in for a great outing today. The warm sun energized us as we raced around the neighbourhood. Ms. Gibbons could not wipe the smile off her face throughout the run! Gibbs took us down a dirt path that led to the coulees, where Toki took over and led the next part of our exploration. We trekked the coulees for a bit before taking a cool-down lap around the pond. After dropping off Gibbons at home, Toki and I set off on a speedy sprint to finish off our outing. Have a great weekend girls! The Scoop: 1 poop and several pees for Gibbons. 1 poop and 2 pees for Toki. Runner: Jaime DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Happy Friday girls! Spring is certainly in the air on this beautiful March day. Gibbons, Toki and I were off to a slow start as we began to explore. With some convincing, Toki and I managed to motivate Gibbs to join our adventure around the newly constructed entrance to the neighbourhood. I was very impressed with Gibbons’ tenacity and speed as she picked up the pace and flew along the main drag. We made it all the way to the Climbing Centre before turning around and heading back the way we came. Gibbons led us home before Toki and I continued on just the two of us. Toki knew exactly where we were headed and sprinted towards the ponds, dragging me behind. We stopped a few times to pick burrs out of our shoes/sweaters and to enjoy some treats before speeding home to join Gibbons. The Scoop: 0 poops, 5 pees for Gibbons. 0 poops, 2 pees for Toki. Happy Weekend girlies! Runner: Jaime DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Gibbons did not want to go for run today but Toki was eager for one, so we went. Toki gave me kisses when I was trying to take a selfie with her, I definitely did not expect that from her. We ended our run early, then I played with Toki and Gibbons in the backyard. Toki took my mitts and I chased her. She thought it was funny and so did I because I've never seen that side of her. It was nice to see Gibbons jump to catch one of her toys (so graceful). The Scoop: 1 pee, 0 poops for Gibbons. Toki had 3 pees and 0 poops. Runner: Ginette |
