DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE: 2.4 km DURATION: 31 minutes
Darling Sadie and I got some one-on-one time after I had taken Kahlua out with 2 potential runners. It was so peaceful so following that theme we crossed the Peace Bridge. She is such an easy-going gal and we just enjoyed the fall day. We made the perfect loop coming back across the bridge that leads to Prince's Island. Have a great weekend Sadie. Peace out!

DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE: DURATION:
The perfect day to start back at DGR. It was a lovely fall Friday and I got to run with my pal, Kahlua! She was a tad shy when I arrived but she soon warmed up and we picked up where we left off. To avoid all the construction along the pathways, we stuck close to home and weaved through different areas of downtown. We ran by quite a few squirrels scurrying, Kahlua didn’t seem the least bit fazed! We kept to our moderate jogging pace (it worked for both of us!) and we were still able to accomplish a fair distance. I look forward to my time with her this season! The Scoop: 1 poop and 2 pees.

Kahlua had no trouble walking today. I think she just likes switching it up and exploring rather than walking down the same path all the time. We adventured through downtown over to the Centre Street bridge where we warmed up our legs with some uphill. After some more walking in Crescent Heights (I think we were still in Crescent Heights at least), we found ourselves in a cul-de-sac with a set of stairs at the end of it. The stairs seem to be painted different colours of the rainbow. The tops of the stairs were quite warm from all the people who have walked on them, but once we turned around and saw the colours of the stairs it made for a pretty sweet picture. Awesome job today Kahlua! The Scoop: 2 pees, 1 poop. Runner:: Ryan DGR RUN OF THE DAY  
 DISTANCE: 6.1 km DURATION: 1 hour 18 minutes I think these photos speak for themselves that Kahlua should become a dog model. Isn't she gorgeous! When Runner Danielle and I arrived. Kahlua had her best grin on as she brought us her toy. She also was sporting a new bandana that announces her humans getting married, So sweet! I showed Danielle one of Kahlua's favourite routes and we kept it at a brisk pace with a few stops for photo ops. She was really happy and living her best life today. She ended the run with some zoomies in her hallway at home.The Scoop: 1 poop, 3-4 pees. Runners: Ruth and Danielle  DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE: 5.4 km DURATION: 1 hour 5 minutes Today’s adventure with Kahlua was a wet one. But, we didn’t let that stop us! Walking under tree canopies gave us a little bit of shelter, and thankfully it wasn’t a full out downpour. We passed by empty patios, cool local shops and street art as we walked through Kensington on this quiet Wednesday afternoon. By the way, I’m really loving Kahlua’s super cute fall-themed bandana. You’re looking fresh Kahlua! Great job today girl! The Scoop: 2 pees 1 poop. Runner: Ryan

One of my runners had a challenging time getting Kahlua to run on Wednesday so I thought I would pay a visit to see if she was okay. She was more than okay! We went one of our furthest distances together on this gorgeous autumn day. We started along the pathway enjoying the change in foliage and then made our way back along some city streets. It was the best of both worlds as we got to see cool art installations like the upside down house. Kahlua was a great listener and had a smile on her face most of the outing. She also looked extra pretty in her fall bandana. It made me want to get a matching one. Enjoy the weekend. The Scoop: 1 poop, several pees. Runner: Ruth DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Kahlua always smiles and wags her tail like a puppy when I open the door. She is the sweetest girl! Today was her lucky day because I brought treats! Although it was a warm one, we made some decent distance on our walk. The treats definitely helped coax her to keep going on the way out. On the way back home, as always she a super good listener and she was ready to be home. No complaints for the weather today, it was spectacular. Great job today Kahlua! The Scoop: 3 pees 1 poop.

Today is back to school for many kids and with the change of season, came empty pathways (for the most part). I had the unexpected surprise of running Kahlua today as I had to shift some runs around due to a runner who was not available. That is A-okay with me as I got to spend time with Kahlua. We did a super brisk walk along the riverwalk and really enjoyed the peace and quiet. In addition to the surprise run was the surprise weather. It looked like it was going to rain when I picked her up and then it was sunny and gorgeous out! We also saw a cool art installation supporting one of Calgary's Paralympic Cyclists (Kate O'Brien).

Kahlua was in the mood for a brisk walk as were a lot of other doggies that populated the pathway. That was okay as we just gave everyone lots of space and beat to our drum. It was a gorgeous day out so we soaked in the sunshine. Prospective runner and pet sitter Pat joined us. It is always great to meet another passionate dog lover and swap stories. Kahlua was a good listener and this trio had a terrific Thursday lunch hour stroll. Kahlua did sit at the concierge desk ay home for one final treat. She definitely earned those treats today.

The sun was not shining today but it was still a great day for a walk! Leslie-Anne and I headed across the river and in behind the Calgary Winter Club and the streets around there is where we did our exploring. I really think if the houses could talk they would have amazing stories. I really enjoy the colours of the flowers, the creativity of some of the fences, rain barrels and overall yards. It was quite lovely walking where the traffic was minimal. We did laugh at all the pigeons on the telephone line but didn't too long, no need to be a target! The Doggy Business: 3 pees, 1 poop.

It was another perfect day for walking! We headed out on the pathway system. I ensured Leslie-Anne saw the pedestrian only sign and off we went. We checked out the downtown core from Memorial Drive today. I never tire of the view. We came across a mailbox patched up high. With a closer look (yay for a camera zoom), it let me know it was for all the mail no one likes to receive 🤣 We also came across two perfectly shaped Christmas trees. They would he fun to decorate! We also enjoyed the story behind the school fence artwork. The side streets are fun! Doggy Business: 1 poop, 3 pees. Written by Kahlua Runner: Leslie-Anne DGR RUN OF THE DAY

It was another glorious day for a walk! Leslie-Anne and I decided that today was a good day to wander through Prince's Island Park. The flowers looked so pretty! We headed across the Peace Bridge, across Memorial Drive and checked out a side street. Wow! We saw the biggest tree I've ever seen! Lots of different styles and colours of houses I'm sure if those houses could talk the stories they could share! One old tree was converted into a bird house condo. It was very cool.! We also saw where the buffalo roam in the city, all along a school fence! We saw some other dogs on this walk but all was good. There were so many other things to see.

Today was Leslie-Anne's 1st day walking me and overall it went great. The weather was perfect and there were lots of people on bikes, walking dogs and pushing carriages. It was so nice to see everyone smiling and having a wonderful time. I suggested that we use one of the e-scooters but Leslie-Anne said no. I did get a picture beside them just to say I was interested in perhaps trying it some day! I enjoyed the walk along the river and was happy to be able to stop and smell the roses and all the other flowers that the City of Calgary workers keep so nice and neat for others to enjoy as well. The river sure is flowing fast! I hope the people we saw in the raft kept themselves safe. We found an iPhone on a bench. We decided it was a good thing to pick it up to turn into a police station. We kept an eye out for someone who would appear to have a "frantic look" on their face. Sure enough, we saw that person with said look. He was very relieved we had his phone and very happy to get it back. We decided that was our good deed for the day Just before we got home I really wanted an ice cream cone and stopped to see if Leslie-Anne would buy me one. She didn't. It's a good thing as I know I can't afford the extra calories! We walked 5km today! Doggy Business: 3 pees, 1 poop. Runner: Leslie- Anne DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE: 5.5 km DURATION: 1 hour 7 minutes Where do the good times begin? Well, I think they begin with Mondays and a brisk walk with Kahlua. She has become more of a power walker these days and she is just a joy to take out along the pathways. Today, we got to show Lesley-Anne the ropes. There were a few dogs and people out enjoying the cloud-covered day. Kahlua was really well behaved and we stayed clear of geese and dogs. We also narrowly missed some bird poop falling down from the heavens. Well, they say that is good luck. All I know is that we were lucky to spend this Monday with Miss Kahlua. We also saw this bumblebee stuffie and that brought a smile to our faces. The Scoop: 1 poop, 1 pee. Runners: Ruth and Leslie-Anne

The heat was not too bad today as there was a gentle breeze. Kahlua and I got off to a later start (closer to the lunch hour) so I opted to avoid the dog-filled pathways and head into Chinatown. There were so many great options for photos and I think Kahlua enjoyed those breaks. She was definitely needing a lot of encouragement today. We did veer onto the pathway once and had to wait for some geese to cross. A cyclist went right through the long line of geese and this disruption caused one of the momma geese to come honking/hissing our way. I pulled Kahlua away quickly. Well, that was an adventure.
