DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
  DISTANCE: 7.5 km DURATION: 2 hours
The universe had a message for me today. That message was that I should not be out Christmas shopping but be taking Kali out for her run. Unfortunately, her runner Mai slipped on some icy pathway and hurt her ankle. I think Mai must have gone about 2k with Kali when this occurred so I was called in to take over. I was not dressed for a run but we did our best to go on some interesting pathways that are my stomping grounds with other dogs that I run. I even let Kali have a quick stop at the river which I know she loves. Well, I must say I would much rather be outside with Kali than at a mall so that was a silver lining in today's unexpected turn of events. We hope Mai is going to be okay and send her well wishes. I guess I was meant to have 10 runs this week. The Scoop: nothing to report. Runner: Ruth and Mai

DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
  DISTANCE: 6.6 km DURATION: 1 hour
It was a beautiful fall run with Kali! I am trying out new routes with Kali that don’t involve going down to the river. I love splashing in the river almost as much as she does, but with the weather getting colder, I don’t want to get my feet wet. Kali is a bit tentative when we try a new route, plus there are always so many new smells! But the minute we turn in the direction of the dog park she takes off at speed! We powered up the hill along 40th Avenue on our way home and then cooled down a bit before heading home. Thanks for a great run Kali! The Scoop: 1 poop, 4 pees. Runner: Michelle W.

Sweetheart Kali was a great way to start the weekend. We were accompanied by my boyfriend because he wanted to come for the stroll. We enjoyed looking at the house beautiful houses in the neighbourhood. We walked down to the dog park so Kali could say hi to some friends. There was a little puppy that came to say hi to Kali when we were leaving and the little pup ran across the street to us and we had to pick him up and bring him back to his owner. We had a great time thanks Kali! The Scoop: 1 pee. Runner: Erica DGR RUN OF THE DAY

It has been a hot minute since I ran with Kali, I missed her smile! We started our run by Dr. Oakley School and made a Magpie friend. We ran past Halloween decorations (my favourite) and saw a super cute pumpkin painted like a puppy. We stopped to try and take a selfie and Kali gave me a bunch of kisses. It was a wonderful run, thanks Kali. The Scoop: 2 poops, 2 pees. Runner; Michelle W. DGR RUN OF THE DAY

A snowy run for Kali and my last run together this year, After we got out the door, Kali immediately dug her nose in the snow. We jogged down the hill to the dog park, Kali sprinted over to the park as soon as it was in sight. Kali found an abandoned tennis ball that we threw around and played fetch with for a bit. Throwing it became a little gross after a while as Kali got her saliva all over it. She made lots of friends in between the throws and played around lots today. We fetched our way across the park until we made it to the other side. I let Kali say goodbye to some friends and goodbye to the tennis ball and we went on our way. We took our time on the ice on the way back and gave Kali more time to sniff and explore. We made it back to the house with the warm sun shining on us to heat us up. Thanks for so many awesome runs this year Kali, I hope to see you next year and I really have enjoyed our time together! Until next time Kali! The Scoop: 1 poop, 3 pees.

 DISTANCE: 3K DURATION: 53 minutes Kali and I got poured on during our run today! She sniffed around on the street before running down into the neighbourhood to explore. . We took shelter from the rain when we could which helped us not get too soaked but it happened eventually anyway! Kali was shaking off the water every few minutes in vain. I could tell Kali was getting a little tired of being wet and was nudging us closer to the house anytime she could. Not many other dogs out today but Kali was still able to say “hi” to some from a distance. Taking photos today was a little more of a struggle than usual as the water kept covering the screen whenever I had Kali in frame. I was still able to get a few today! And Kali showed me a very cool El Camino, one of many cool cars that Kali has shown me during our walks! We looped around in different areas and ended up staying relatively close to the house in case the rain got even worse (if that was even possible!) Once we got back to the house, I dried Kali up and gave her some scratches and pats before I said goodbye! Thanks a ton Kali for turning a moody rainy day into a very fun rainy day! See you next time! The Scoop: 1 poop, 3 pees. Runner: Mason DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Kali and I had an awesome run together today! This gorgeous girl and I ran off into the neighbourhood together and went towards the dog park. We saw lots of Halloween decorations and spooky houses on the way over and I tried taking a photo of Kali in front of one of the houses but she wasn’t interested, maybe the decorations weren’t good enough. We kept chugging along until we made it to the park. Almost right away Kali and I ran down to the river where Kali played around in it for a bit and drank from it leaving ripples across the water. We took some photos and finished up there and went to the main paths where Kali said “hi” to and made lots of new friends. All the other dogs today were very polite and made Kali feel welcomed. She was having a blast with all the other dogs at the park and was meeting so many new dogs but we had to head back home so we said “farewell” to the dog park and all the dogs we met! We sprinted off back home, Kali sniffed a bit of her way back and we admired some more decorations together. We made it back home and said our goodbyes to each other. Thanks so much for an awesome park adventure today! See you next time Kali! The Scoop: 2 pees, 0 poops. Runner: Mason DGR RUN OF THE DAY

There was a bit of a chill in the air when I picked up Kali, enough so that I decided not to run to Stanley Park and get my feet wet in the river with Kali. Kali, however had other ideas. I don’t think she will let me get away with running her and not going into the water. We headed to the dam and down to the water for a quick splash and then back home. We stopped along the way to take photos with all the great Halloween inflatables! Thanks for a fun run Kali. The Scoop: 3 pees, no poops. Runner: Michelle W. DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Kali and I enjoyed a great run together. We started off slowly and Kali ate some grass right away. We crossed the street over to a small playground where Kali sniffed around in the leaves. We made our way to Garrison Square Park where we stopped for a photo. We got over to the other park where lots of people were out enjoying the day. We ran across the field and then looped back up along the backyards where Kali did some more sniffing throughout the neighbourhood as we cut down streets and paths. We passed a few friendly dogs and Kali was very polite as we did. We made our way over to another park for more candid pictures of Kali. Afterwards, we found the old car Kali showed me during one of our first runs together. As we got closer to home Kali stopped for a quick drink on the sidewalk! So refreshing! Thanks Kali for a fantastic run full of sniffing and sprinting! The Scoop: 0 poops, 1 pee. Runner: Mason DGR RUN OF THE DAY

I was reunited with my gal Kali. I missed this pup! It was so nice to run with her today! We headed out to Stanley Park and we nearly flew down Sifton Boulevard. Kali was in a hurry to get to the river. The water is really low so we spent quite a bit of time splashing in the river. The water was cool and refreshing. On our way home, we passed a spooky house that already had their Halloween decorations up. Kali also spotted a couple of squirrels, and gave them an interesting sniff! Thanks for the run today Kali!

Kali and I had awesome run in the sun today! We started off slow and Kali started off eating grass but we picked up the pace the further we got from the house. We made it to River Park and said “hey” to some dogs along the way. Once we arrived, Kali was barking at me to pick up the pace so I did. We ran right towards the river which was surprisingly quiet for such a nice day, Kali and I chilled out there for a bit. Kali took a dip and had some to drink as well. After hanging by the water's edge for a bit, we ran back up to the top of the ridge to continue. We saw a harmless little snake in the grass that crossed our path. Kali was more interested in some nearby scents though. Kali made friends with some other dogs before sprinting us down a staircase to the riverside again. At the bottom of the park, we ran in a sprinkler and cooled down. That is where we decided to head home so we started climbing back up the hill. Once we were back in the neighbourhood, Kali pointed out a very cool old car! Thanks Kali! That was a great photo op! We kept trudging on back home, sniffing as we went. I guess Kali couldn’t decide today on whether she wanted to sprint or sniff, so we settled for a bit of both! Thanks for such a great run Kali! Until next time! The Scoop: 1 poop, 3 pees.

A rainy day run for Kali and me today! After our usual greetings at the door, Kali and I ran out into the neighbourhood. After jogging through the streets, we made it to the dog park where we took some more photos and also went to the river for a quick sip and dip! Kali was also very polite when saying “hi” to all the other dogs. Even on a rainy day, it looked so refreshing to dip in the river with Kali but it was a bit too cold for me to join her today. After hanging around by the river, we headed back up some paths to explore the less popular areas of the park and adventure a little bit. We wandered and played around the park for a while before deciding to head back. We got to look at some very nice houses on our way as Kali sniffed her way home. We took a little more time going home as we were both a little tired from running around the park. The weather and temperature today was ideal for a run and the air did an amazing job of cooling us down. Thanks Kali for joining me and making the run so much fun! See you again sometime soon! Hope you have a nice afternoon nap because you earned it! The Scoop: 1 poop, 2 pees. Runner: Mason DGR RUN OF THE DAY

It was an absolutely gorgeous day to be out running with Kali, I haven’t seen this sweetheart in a while! We started off the run with lots of sniffs and some grass munching. After that, we sprinted off into the neighbourhood. We had to take a few short breaks in the shade with that noon sun beating down on us. I wore black today so Kali and I are in the same boat! Kali decided to be navigator today and led me wherever she wanted to go. We made our way over to the dog park where we explored and sprinted around for a while. We then took a dip in the river, Kali brought me in with her accidentally. We made a friend in the process, another big fluffy dog also swimming. After shaking off and drying off, we headed back up and towards home. The sun really started to hit as I started to sweat and we both started to slow down. Kali did lots more sniffing on the way home. We probably stopped at every second lawn for a sniff. We sprinted across another field and weaved our way through the streets back home. Thanks for such a great run Kali. I hope to see you again sometime soon! The Scoop: 1 poop, 3 pees. Runner: Mason DGR RUN OF THE DAY

It was another great run day with Kali! She was full of energy when I picked her up; ready to go and pulling me along. We made it to the river in great time, and what would a river visit be without treasures. Kali finding sticks and I found a little toy truck. She is such a strong amazing jumper, I really wish I could catch her jumps better. It is incredible watching her grab sticks out of the air. We were having such a great time that I completely lost track of time, and our run went over an hour (sorry)! The Scoop: 1 poop, 4 pees. Runner: Michelle W.

Today was a hot slow run under smoky skies. We started our run with a soak under the hose and the made our way to the river. I didn’t want to push to Stanley Park today with the smoke, so we skirted the off-leash park and popped into the river at the far end of the dog park. There was no one there so we had the river all to ourselves. The water was low enough that we could almost walk all the way across to the other side… almost. Kali found a bunch of sticks and we splashed around for awhile. On our way back home, we passed a lemonade stand, I explained to the young vendors that I don’t run with money and was informed that they take VISA. Another cool-down under the hose and I dropped Kali off. See you next week! The Scoop: 4 pees and 1 poop. Runner: Michelle W. |
