​ I am back Chicklets🐾‼️Mom has you all ready and looking very ’Chic Canadian.’ Pink my co-pilot, the seat warmers are on. First, before we move - Miss Kacie & I need to have a long hug. This sweet soul just makes me melt. Kai, I love your jacket. Plus, your orange ball is packed (in his mouth🤣). To the park, we headed. It was fresh & crisp that was for sure. We gals partied very civilized. Then, there was Kaiser’s idea of partying!! He would run up and down the hill chasing his ball. Halfway through is when things started to get wild. He came back up the hill with his jacket unbuttoned. No problem let's put you back together. When Kai came up the hill, his jacket was almost off; lying around his butt. It was time to leave the Party🤣. Always a fun time with these 3. Lots of pees for everyone. Kai had 1 poop and Kacie had 1 poop. Pink just peed several times🐾.

Happy New Year's Kacie, Kaiser and Pink! I have sure missed you three and I knew the feeling was mutual upon our exciting reunion this morning. Even Pink got out of her comfy, new bed to come say «hello ». As we make our way into the heart of the Winter season, the windchill continues to keep the off-leash park quiet. However, we did run into a gentleman and what appeared to be a Portuguese Water Dog. Pink and this fluffy giant had a great time playing tag, with Pinky doing most of the chasing. I giggled and commented on her ferociousness being no match for a dog of any size. The man replied ‘it is definitely the booties’ to which I laughed even harder. Kai and I nearly lost another ball today, but thanks to Kacie and her curiosity, she led Kaiser right to where it was hidden beneath fresh snow! I have sure missed these morning walks with these three. The Scoop: 1 poop and 4 pees for Kacie, 1 poop and 7+ pees for Pink, 2 poops and 5 pees for Kai.

​Happy Halloween Kacie, Kai and Pinky! I always wondered what dogs think of Halloween; a bunch of people in costumes, doorbells ringing nonstop, even some are dressed up by their owners. This morning’s walk sure felt warmer than a normal October 31st in Calgary. The four of us meandered around the park, enjoying the beautiful sun as it continued to rise. We wandered for a while before finding ourselves back on a proper trail. There were mostly only large dogs at the park today, one ran up to Kaiser hoping to get a game of chase started. Kai ignored the dog (as he often does when there is a ball in his mouth), however, Pink was eager to take Kaiser’s place and ran around with the large dog instead. We had a blast today and I am so grateful for these three for getting me moving in the morning. The scoop: 1 poop, 4 pees for Kacie, 1 poop, 8 pees for Pink, & 5 pees for Kai.

I had the pleasure of hanging out with Kacie, Kaiser and Pink this week and it was a blast! These three have their own distinct personalities and it's so fun playing with them, and seeing how they interact with each other.  Kaiser seems to have gotten more snuggly since the last time I stayed over, and it was nice to cuddle up with him while watching TV. Every now and again he'd surprise me with a big juicy kiss on the chin. He had a blast playing ball, and likes to crunch around in the piles of leaves, just like a little kid!  Kacie, the house protector, is always close by and has the most fantastic purr when being pet! She loves her veggie desserts after mealtimes, and may have been able to score an extra one here and there.  She also loves to sleep, and needs a bit of encouragement to get her butt out of bed in the mornings.  Finally, we have Pink. Pink is small but mighty, and more than holds her own with her much larger siblings. This little one is most content when cuddled up on my lap, or nearly perched on my shoulders. She also loves to rip around after the ball (or perhaps she's just chasing Kaiser?!) and it is a riot to watch as she follows along after Kacie. It was great to have the chance to spend some time with these three again!

Another chilly morning meant I had to bundle up and get Pink dressed in her sweater, before we ventured out today. With Pink’s leash in my pocket, we had freedom to roam the park without worry and were able to strap her to me whenever needed. The cold weather had us moving a bit slower than the past few outings, but this gave us a chance to take in our surroundings and breathe in the fresh air deeply. Kacie befriended a gorgeous Golden Retriever up on the ridge, while Kai and Pinky fought over who could get more attention from those passing by. It was a very peaceful morning walk; a great way to start our day! The scoop: 1 poop each and 8+ pees each!

I spent the weekend with Kaiser and Kacie, and it was fabulous! These two are such sweet pups, and both loved all the pets and cuddles they could get! Kaiser is in love with balls, especially orange ones and we had a lot of fun playing fetch! He also seems to like playing pass with his paws and the ball which is pretty comical! As usual, Kacie loved getting head and neck rubs and responds with a sort of purr. She has also taken to snoring at night, which took a bit of getting used to.  We enjoyed some walks and playtime at the park, as well as cuddles on the couch in the evenings, and snuggles at night. Kaiser and Kacie are such well behaved dogs; it's a pleasure to spend time with them!

I was very much so looking forward to my weekend with the the trio of Kaiser, Kacie and Pink. When I arrived in the morning, Pinky (as always) was so excited to see me. She does this little wagging tail, get low kind of dance that makes me smile. Meanwhile, Kai is running through my legs and Kacie is telling him to stop. Always an introduction with those three! The weather was on and off for most of the weekend so we tried to make the best of it whenever we could! Mom told me there were coyotes in some of the off-leash areas we normally frequent, so I kept an extra close eye on Miss P! In fact, I would take the girls on their own then take Kai out on his own for some one on one bonding (ball) time. We all got caught in the rain a couple times, which no one seemed to really care!   The girls were funny when it came to bed-time. Pinky needed to be on the pillow while Kacie politely laid at the end of the bed. Kaiser would try to get close, which resulted in Pink going to his face to bark and growl, and Kacie showing him her teeth from the comfort of her spot. Sorry Kai, I guess this is a GIrls' Slumber Party!  Kai and I even made amends at the end of each day with him laying down and staying there as I exited the house. This was a great success for BOTH of us.  Thanks for all the slobbery kisses all weekend guys!

After « Mom » warned us about the tragic coyote incident and bobcat sighting near the off-leash park, I was on high-alert and made sure to adjust our game-plan. We stuck to open areas and the top of the park and once we approached the denser, wooded areas I made sure to leash up Pink and Kacie just to be safe. While Kacie did not seem to mind being leashed to me, I could tell that Pink was not thrilled with being attached to both me and her sister (however, she still looked absolutely adorable in her pig sweater). Once we reached another open field, I removed the leash from Pinky and it was as if she had never tasted freedom before. She was bounding up and down, chasing around her brother and hopping through my legs. I was so glad to see her feel relaxed and happy once again; she was now able to enjoy the remainder of our walk. The scoop: 1 poop & 5 pees for Kacie, 1 poop & 7 pees for Pink, and 3 pees for Kaiser!

Hi Kids🐾. Kacie, Kaiser, and Pink started their week off early with DGR Pet Sitter Cayley taking them out for a walk. No wonder the pep energy meter is a 6 out of 10😊. First, we needed to rescue Miss Pink from the upstairs bedroom where she was waiting patiently behind the door. All kids accounted for, let's walk. Miss Kacie did brilliant and spent 1/2 the hour doing a big square loop. The pee record was interesting because wherever one peed the other two did too. I was wearing a jacket (a tad chilly to start) so I thought Pink would need her little pig sweater too. PLUS she looks so cute strutting her stuff in it. Kaiser the big love-bug had to have to hugs today.  He went straight through my legs and then  gave him a squeeze. Pink was the only one who pooped. Kacie & Kaiser did this a.m.  There were multiple pees for all.

Our walk today was off to a slow start as we spent some time searching for one of Kai’s balls to bring to the park. “Mom” helped us find a brand-spanking new ball for our walk today, what a lucky boy! We were further delayed by “Mom” and I chatting, until all three pups had had enough and encouraged me out the door. Finally getting our walk going, we enjoyed a gorgeous day with the sun beating down on us. Thankfully, all of yesterday’s dew had dried up. We ran into a few other dogs along our path, one that Pink particularly got along with... I swear the two of them could have played for hours if the other dog’s owner and myself had not walked off in opposite directions. Kacie, Kai and Pink shared a full water bottle at the end of the walk and panted the whole car-ride home. I could tell today was a good day in their books (and mine too)! The Scoop: 1 poop for Kacie and Pink, and many pees for all three pups!
