So today was “precious cargo on board” day! The gang was fairly slow today.. but they had good excuses.  First excuse: Mocha took her fav toy with her and Shadow found someone else's ball so both had to carry extra weight 🤣! They are so cute; everyone so busy with their toys.. (well, not Java). We had to stop to clean little toes as snow balled up underneath! Once the gals were back home, Shadow displayed all kinds of signs of happy boy as usual! He loves “his” solo loop.. Since he is a big flirt, I think he loves it as he has more time to look at other gals!! 😍😘 The weather was great but we still had to pay attention as some of the path sections were a bit icy. The Poop Report - Shadow had 2 poops and few pees. Java had one poop and 3 pees. Mocha had one poop and 2 pees.

I always look forward to running with the Portie Gang! They are so awesome... and today wasn’t any different! They have such fun personalities!. Today, Mocha was showering Java with kisses when I arrived. The weather was nicer than Friday’s. The kids enjoyed it and everyone was on the ball; yep, even the gals. We had some “long” running stretches without pees, poop, or sniffing breaks. 👏👏! After dropping of the gals, Shadow and I went for our next loop.. he is always so happy when he sees that we are going again.  He loves his “me” time, his time for speed and his time for photos.  Yep, let's not forget that last one! 😂 The Poop Report: Shadow had 1 poop and few pees. Mocha and Java had 1 poop and 2 pees each.

Okay, let’s face it - this morning we were done with the “how wonderful was the weather.. bla bla bla”.. 😂. With a -11 showing in my car; it was cold.. I guess it is time for gloves, hats, and scarves! While I found it cold, the kiddos seemed to enjoy it.. Even Java, was on the ball today and she took the lead a few times running! Sweet 😃. Since Mocha was limping the past couple of days, we went for the short loop with the gals. By now, you must know that there was no complaining on the gals' part! 😁. Mocha trotted  without any issues. Shadow and I went back for another loop after dropping off the girls. While trotting, we stumbled on a $20 bills, laying there sad and feeling abandoned.  We couldn’t pass by and not rescue it.. 😂.. So ya, it was an awesome run! The Poop Report: Shadow had 1 poop and 3 pees. Mocha had 1 poop and 3 pees. Java had 1 poop and 2 pees.

Another wonderful morning! Only 2 of the kiddos went out. Miss Mocha is limping a bit so she got to have a day off.  I am sure she was very upset...Not!! 🤣. While she and Pinky stayed home, Java and Shadow enjoyed their morning trot. We got to witness an amazing sunrise again. I am sure Java found it a bit more tiring today as it was more trotting time for her since her friend Mocha wasn’t there for a break 😂. After dropping her at home from her lake loop, Shadow and I went out for an extra loop. We went counterclockwise this time, and I think Shadow didn’t find it as interesting😊,  He kind of adopted a lazy trot! Regardless, we had a lot of fun!  The Poop Scoop: Shadow had 2 poops and 3 pees and Java had 1 poops and 4 pees.

Hurray, we are back into winter! The temperature was quite pleasant but the scenery was like some Christmas cards! Shadow was all excited when I walked in the house.  He started serenading me. with his song. I think I may call him Pavarotti from now on. 😂! The gang was happy to get out today, but the gals started to pile some ice under their little paws, so I had to stop a few time to clean their little toes. Plus, we had to be choosy where we ran as I could see salt was spread on the paths. As always, Shadow was all excited to go for his extra loop. We stopped for some awesome sunrise photos. The Poop Scoop Report: Shadow had 1 poop and multiple pees. Java had 1 poop and 3 pees.  Mocha had 1 poop and 4 pees.

Oh hello my fav furry gang! It's been a little while since I have seen you all! It looks like everyone feels better, and that makes me so happy. Today was awesome! The weather was great and we got to run in the dark. We couldn’t see much as my headlight wasn’t the brightest but hey, we made it work! I was a bit disappointed as I was hoping to take some spookalicious photos of the kids, but my phone flash refused to work, so I have to get creative at times. The most important thing is that we had fun. The gals went back home a bit early and Shadow and I had some “me” time." As soon as we dropped the gals off, Shadow was jumping up, biting his leash like the happy puppy he is 😍. Thanks to the pups' mom for been such good sport and getting the kids ready to go that early 🙏🏻😍 The Poop Scoop: Shadow had 1 poop and few pees, Java had 1 poop and 3 pees. Mocha had 1 poop and 2 pees! P.S.  The circled figure in the photo is a deer.  Shadow got to watch Deer TV ( his favourite!),

Good Morning Porties!!! It was so great to see the Gang again. Off we jogged to the end of the pathway along the golf course. It was rather stop-n-start this morning. Lots of sniffing opportunities on the other side of the highway. I tried for action shots which all turned out to be upside down and the sky.🤣 Well, gang, we are going to have a quick stop for photos. Time for the ’Coffee Sisters’ to head back home. Shadow and I ran the short loop of the pond and then Shadow was ready to go home. At home, the girls greeted us so energetically; each one trying to push forward to show off their stuff toys. Aww, what good mommas. The Doggy Business Report: Java had 1 poop & 3 pees, Java just had 3 pees. Shadow had 2 poops and lots of pees.

Gooooood Morning Porties🐾 + 🐾 + 🐾😊. What a happy welcome I received on the driveway. Shadow, did you run out of the house with only one boot on? Mom explained that Shadow has been limping but the bootie seems to help. It is always great when you can find some relief. Let’s hit the trails but we won't go crazy fast on Shadow’s behalf. I could quietly hear a little ’hallelujah ’ coming from The Coffee Sisters. 🙏Today's outing was very even keeled. Java & Mocha and Shadow were all at the same pace. The Friday Special was lots of yellow snow that just needed to be inspected by everyone!! Happy Friday!! The Doggy Business Report: everyone had 1 poop each. Java had 1 pee, Mocha had 2 pees, and Sir Shadow had lots.

I'm back!!! I was so excited to be reunited with ’Mi Amigos’ again. I received a lovely welcome. Hi Java🐶 Hi Mocha 💕 Hi Ya Pinkie🐾 and a big Howdy Shadow❄️. Today was the coldest so far this week and the most amount of snow. Miss Java was not as thrilled by the snow factor because her poor paws are ice magnets with snow. We stopped multiple times to de-ice. Mocha’s paws did not ice-up as much but she never missed a chance in giving me gratitude kisses for taking care of Java’s paws. Shadow was very thrilled with his snow beard. Yes, Sir Shadow you are looking very distinguished. The Doggy Business Report: Java had 1 poop & 2 pees. Mocha had 1 very large poop & 3 pees. Shadow had 1 running poop and multiple pees.

Oh hello gang!! How are we doing this morning? I guess everyone was happy to get out.  Since the weather has been holding up fairly well, we got to enjoy another wonderful morning. Most Mondays, the gals are on the slow side.  It takes them a bit before getting in gear.  When I heard my app saying we were moving at 22 minute per kilometre, I had to remind the gals to keep going. 😆 Shadow wasn’t innocent either; he too was on the slow side at the start. I finally got them all focused and the rest of the run went great!  The gals went back home a bit earlier and Shadow and I went back for an additional round. Shadow is always so exited and playful when he sees we are going out again.  He usually grabs the leash to make me go faster. 😁 It was an awesome day!  Thank you kiddos! Shadow had 3 poops and many pees. Mocha had 2 poops and 4 pees. Java had 1 poop and 3 pees.

Well... there was no sunshine today!  There was  only clouds and fog. But hey, no rain, no snow and no  minus 10C so we shouldn’t complain. As usual, the Porties were all exited as soon as they knew it was running time. We took our regular path today so the gals could trot a bit more! We got to meet Scotty, one of their furry friend, but today, Shadow decided he would have an argument with him.  It didn’t last long and all was good in the end. Funny how it goes...if it is sunny, I see photos opportunities everywhere.  But with today's clouds,  I almost forgot to take any pictures! Thanks to Shadow for reminding me about my duty! 😂. After dropping the gals at home, Shadow was all excited so he decided to grab the leash in his mouth and set the pace. He is so hilarious when he plays like this. The Poop Scoop: Shadow had 1 poop and a few pees, Mocha and Java both had one poop and 3 pees.

For some reason, I thought it would be a quiet run today but I was wrong 😂. Although I came to the door very quietly, the kiddos heard me and started barking their little hearts out. Then the door opened and here they went for a “zoom zoom” party. It was so funny to see them running everywhere. They also got to have some Halloween treats a.k.a. rabbits poo. 😂 We had a great run. I decided to go run the trails first as Java and Mocha don’t get to go there and the gals loved it. I could see their smiley faces. The weather was beautiful and I got to take some photos of one of the most amazing sunset 🌅. The Poop Scoop: Shadow had 4 poops and many pees.  Mocha had 2 poops and 3 pees.  Java had 1 poop and 3 pees.

Oh.. welcome to an other gorgeous day!! Not sure who was it, but I think I heard one of the Porties singing when I arrived 😍. Today, they were very exited to go out and wanted to go as soon as the leashes were on! As usual, Shadow led the gals who started on the very slow side. Well, it is Monday.  What else can we expect? 😃 Both came back home a bit earlier.  Java looked better than Friday and  seemed to move smoothly, but Mocha was a little bit stiff in the shoulder still.  I am sure she sees that as an excellent opportunity to go home earlier.. haha.  After dropping off the gals, Shadow got to go for an other round; running more with fewer sniff sniff breaks.  We proceeded with photo sessions per usual.  Shadow wouldn’t forgive me if I didn’t take any photos of him.😁 The Poop Scoop: Shadow had 2 poops and many pees. Java had 1 poop and 3 pees. Mocha had 2 poops and 4 pees.

Oh, I can’t complain about an other wonderful day. The Gang and I are ready for winter if it stay this way.. haha. On the way to the Porties' home, I was blessed with one of the most stunning sunsets that I have ever experienced.  I had to stop on the side of the road and take a picture. The 3 amigos were very happy to see me and Mocha decided to bring her little pooch toy along.  She loves carrying her toy around the lake. She then changed her mind and let me carry it as she choose to carry a stick. This time Java showed a bit of stiffness and I am starting to wonder if Mocha and Java are trying to outsmart me.. hahah 🤣 Towards the end of our trot, Java got a bit exited as other barking dogs came at us.  She then got upset at Mocha. Poor Mocha!  All was well in the end! The Poop Scoop. Shadow had 2 poops and few pees, Mocha had 1 poop and 3 pees, and Java had one poop and 2 pees.

Another lovely early morning run! I love watching the sunrise, it always gives great photo opportunities! Everyone was happy to go out as usual. It is kind of funny, since I run the area a few times a week, I feel like part of this neighbourhood now. The gang is always happy to say hello to other people and doggies, I guess they know many of them. Today, the gals came back home a bit earlier.. I didn’t hear any complaint in that matters.. haha 😆. Shadow is fairly happy with the whole deal, he has the camera for himself, and he sure loves it. He even got to dip his little toes in the lake, watch geese flying away, and play with some other doggies. The Poop Scoop. Shadow had one poop and few pees. Java and Mocha had no poop and 3 pees each.
