Sunshine and Sanity with These Porties

DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1
Picture
DISTANCE: 3.8 km DURATION: 1 hour 6 minutes

Goooood morning my friends! Holy Macaroni, the world has been going mad these days.  Thank Goodness, I got to see those kiddos. It brings some sanity in my life 🤣. Shadow was all "boing boing" today.  He wanted to run so badly. He looked great and seems to have healed well. However, Shadow - we can't do foolish things yet. He was allowed to be free for about a kilometre to do his business and smell things and then it was back on the leash. Poor Shadow, he was in such a running mood. Lol! Then it was girlies' turn. They too were in super happy moods. We even went for a longer walk.  It was awesome to feel the sunshine on our faces. The Scoop: Shadow had 2 poops and many pees. Pinky had 2 poops and a few pees. Java and Mocha had a poop and a couple of pees each.

​Good morning my friends! Happy Thursday!  It was another gorgeous morning. Today, Shadow decided to take it easy. Mommy dressed him up with one boot. Shadow was very proud of it; especially when I told him he was the canine version of Michael Jackson😃. We stayed near home and walked the mini loop by the bridge twice. Shadow was fine on Loop #1 but wasn't too sure about going twice. I had to convince him. Kopek was very intrigued by Shadow's Michael Jackson "glove". Then it was girlies' turn. Java was in a running mood today! Mocha and Pinky tried to keep up with her but the "ole" lady was way too strong for them to keep up. 🤣 The Scoop: Shadow had a poop and many pees.  The 3 ladies had a poop each and a couple pees.

Good afternoon kiddos. Oh oh.. cold wind tonight.. don't tell me winter is coming back, with all that melting, am ready for spring. Took Shadow out and didn't take me long to see his wasn't as comfortable walking in his left paw. Nothing drastic, but it is there. I then decided to keep Shadow on leash and just walk him once around the lake. He was feeling the same on his way back home. 🥴 Have a nice rest tonight Shadow.. 🥰hope you fell better tomorrow ! Girls were exited to go out. Soon outside, they got very busy getting big bites of snow🤣 Ladies.. I don't think it is ice cream time yet.. lol The scoop - Shadow had a poop and few pees. Mocha and Java had a poops and few pees. Pinky had only couple pees.

On the Lookout for Otis

DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1

DISTANCE: 7.4 km  DURATION: 1 hour 41 minutes

​Good morning kiddos! Today is a special day! We have a job. Apparently, Otis, a pooch who has been lost for weeks has been sighted in the PortieVille area. So, with mom's  okay, we didn't run. Well, I didn't but the pooches did a lot! I had to pay attention if I could see Otis. Since we know the back trails fairly well, we headed that way. We didn't see Otis, but we sure noticed some very large paw tracks in the snow. We came back empty-pawed but we sure had fun.  We will do the same tomorrow. Then it was the girlies' turn. Since they don't watch the news, they are not really aware of Otis.  They prefer spending time walking and smelling things in the snowy paths. Ha ha! The Scoop : Shadow had a poop and many pees. The girlies all had a poo and a couple pees

It was a perfect, clear morning for a run and walk today! Shadow and the girls all got fantastic haircuts since I last saw them and they are looking very smart! I think they just returned from attending the Oscars with how classy they all are. Shadow put his sleeker frame to good use and was very speedy today! We definitely got a good workout in which is always awesome for both him and me. The girls were happy to come out in the fresh air as well and we had a nice little walk afterwards. Mocha was even complimented on her beautiful colouring by a passerby. Another fun morning with the Porties! The scoop: Shadow 2 poos, 5 pees Mocha 1 poo, 3 pees Pinky 1 poo, 2 pees Java 1 poo, 2 pees.

Good morning kiddos! I am always so glad to see all those smiley faces in the morning. Today, only Shadow is going for his little trot. The Girlies are going to the vet so no walk for them today. Shadow and Kopek stormed through the hills as usual. I got a good laugh when Shadow ran down a hill.  Kopek caught up to him but couldn't put on the brakes and  tried to jump over Shadow.  He missed his shot and both dogs ended up rolling down the hill. They got up, looked at each other with a "that was your fault, no .. that was yours" kind of face on. Where is the video when we need it? Lol!. The mountains and sun sure were beautiful today.  I got to take Shadow's photo with the sunrise behind him.  The sun made it look like he had a halo on his head 🤣.  The Scoop: Shadow had a poop and many pees.

Imagining these Porties in Their Human Form

DGR RUN OF THE DAY # 1
Picture
DISTANCE: 6.9 km  DURATION: 1 hour 24 minutes

Good morning my friends! It was another gorgeous day.  Hurray!  
So don't ask me why but my mind wandered and imagined what type of humans these pooches would be if they were human. I imagined Shadow as a classy gentleman wearing nice clothes; loving his pictures being taken.  He would have a good sense of humour and love his family very much. Java would be a Queen.  She oversees everything.  Although she doesn't speak much, when she does, everyone needs to listen. Mocha a.k.a. Miss Mo or Mok-Mok would be Princess Diana.  She always smile and she is one smart blonde.  She knows she is the "princess of the people" and everyone loves her.  Lol.  Pinky is the wanna-be athlete.  She is the tomboyish girlie girl who is always ready to go.  She is ready for any adventure. And then there is Kopek.  Although  he is a good boy when mama is around, he is more the type of kid who hangs in back alley; kicking garbage around and painting graffiti where he is not supposed to. Of course, all the gals love bad boy like him and Shadow is a bit annoyed by it as he too loves the girls' attention🤣🤣 I guess I have all these "personalities" and maybe should start to write a book. 🤣 Back to being serious - everyone had an awesome run. The Scoop - Shadow had 2 poops and many pees. Java , Mocha and Pinky all had a poop and a pee.

Good morning and Happy Monday kiddos! Hey guys, it looks like summer is finally here 🤣. What a beautiful day! Shadow was all excited to go.  He went straight to my car  to see his friend.  Yup, my Malinois (Kopek) came along today!  It has been a while since those 2 friends saw each other. Today was Kopek's  first serious outing since the cold snap. Shadow and I are happy to report that he behaved like a star! We got to see an amazing sunrise and Chinook arch. Life is beautiful ! We finally got to take some nice photos.  Then it was girlies' turn. They too were very happy to go until we encountered a coyote.  Well, I had no idea those girls had some guard dogs spirit in them. They barked, jumped, and carried on like crazy!  That coyote knew that he needed to stay away as those gals had their boxing gloves ready to go  The Scoop: Shadow had a poop and many pees. Java and Pinky had a poop and a pee. Miss Mo had only pee.

​Look at you Mr. Shadow - all ready & dressed to go. It was -40C when we went out this morning‼️ The Portuguese Water Dog is a hearty warrior breed. There was no one to been seen at all today. This makes the run (for Shadow) waddle (Michelle) very tranquil. We did the berm route in reverse and why oh why does the pathway seem so much harder going up?🤣. All the Porties are fit as fiddles so they never have to pause or huff & puff. Shadow was out approx. 57 minutes. It was then Girl Power Half Hour (actually 23 minutes outside). Miss Java, you are the heartiest of them all. Let's roll and lounge full belly down in the snow. Miss Mocha was happy to keep up with everyone. Pink was posing playfully for me. Shadow’s Bathroom Business on Doggy Logs. was 10 pees, 1 poo. The gals had 1 poop each. Miss Pink has 2 pees. Javy Jav & Miss Mo had 1 pee each.

​Hello my friends.  Brrr, another cold morning! I got out of my car without looking at the temperature but it felt very cold. I didn't take my phone out to take photos as I was afraid that It was going to drain my battery.  The Kiddos were happy to see me. Shadow ran quite a bit today. I love when he has fun plus, we got to enjoy a beautiful red sky sunrise! 😃 Then it was girlies' turn. Everyone joined the party. Pinky was on the quiet side this morning so we took it very easy.  There was a lot of sniffing and looking at things. The Scoop: Shadow had a poo and many pees. Mocha and Pinky had a poop and pees. Java had only a pee.

​Good morning my friends.  Happy weekend! All was silent when I entered the house this morning! Yep, the pooches slept in today. Everyone was in their quarters relaxing. Shadow was very excited to see me and we escaped the room so no one started barking. I was hesitant about bringing Kopek along, but all went well. We stayed on the trails where it was safer. The Kiddos took a lot of time sniffing around, which resulted in Kopek going back on leash to practise his "heel."  Needless to say, Shadow rubbed his paws together thinking, finally, Aunt Fab is giving him some education time! 🤣🤣 All went super well as we enjoyed some lovely weather. Then it was The girlies' turn. They too behaved like stars. They must know Aunt Fab has a sore paw. The Scoop: Shadow had a poop and many pees. The 3 girls had a poop and couple of pees each.

Good morning my friends! It is official - Shadow and I believe Santa lives in his neighbourhood! It was so cold here today.  The car showed -23C. Yep, Santa lives nearby.  He doesn't need to be in the North Pole 🤣🤣. We decided to stay on the trail as the snowy path would be too cold for Shadow. With that cold, we went twice around the lake (a short distance). Shadow was very exited today.  I told him he was to be my only running date for the week. No Kopek as he is with his nanny for the week. The run was like heaven on earth, no chaos. I think Shadow and I are suffering with some kind of PTSD as we realized how zen/meditation-like the run was without Kopek 🤣.  I am kind of glad Kopek can't read this.. Baahhh! Then it was the girlies' turn. It was cold for them as well.  Even Java didn't even try to go into the deep snow.  We met a few doggies which was surprising considering how cold it was. The Scoop: Shadow had a poo and few pees. Mocha and Pinky had a poo and a few pees each and Java had only one pee.

Good afternoon my friends! I know it is Saturday so Mommy surprised you with a weekend walk. 🤣I have to laugh as as I am trying to write my blog, Shadow is near me, making seriously eyes contact to see if am going to give him a cookie.. I sure know that look.  Lol!  The kiddos had fun on the trails as always. We got caught in some kind of snowstorm at one point. Then it was the girlies' turn. They are always happy to go for their little strolls. Java was a bit of little punk as she tried to go the other way. 🤪🤣. When she realized that no one would wait, she decided to catch up with us all.  Lol !  The Scoop: Shadow had a poop and many pees . The 3 girls had a poo and few pees each.

Oh oh! It was a cold one today for sure. Since I was wearing big gloves, I didn’t keep my hands in my pocket which resulted in my phone freezing. I know, I know, I am a hot babe and keeping my hands in my pocket usually keeps my phone warm.🤣 So, I lost some of the data. I believe we went for a total of 7.3 km. Pathways were very quiet today as other pooches probably are waiting for warmer weather to take their owners out for a walk.. Lol. The Girlies were happy to go out. Well, maybe not Java as she had the brakes on for a big part of the walk. Lol. The Scoop : Shadow had a poop and many pees. Mocha and Pinky had a poop and a pee. Java who refused to go in deep snow, had only a pee.

Good morning my favourite gang! What a beautiful Monday we are having. I love the earlier sunrise’s lights. All those oranges and purple colours make for such amazing pictures. Shadow and Kopek sat nicely for me to take some great shots. Since the trails were super icy,  the kiddos and I stayed mainly on the hills for safety. Both dogs had plenty time to run free. We met many pooches so the run was even more fun. Then it was girlies’ turn.  It was super warm when it came time for their walk. The Ladies enjoyed their walk per usual  The Scoop : Shadow had 2 poops and many pees. The Girls all had a poo and few pees each.
