DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3 
  DISTANCE: 8.5 km DURATION: 59 minutes
The Chariot(s) of Fire hit North Glenmore Reservoir to race around. The Chariot consisted of Huxley, Sully and Michelle, the one lagging at the end. I have no idea what it was about today?! Then boys were on fire. They were in some sort of race. Maybe competing against their shadows.🤣 We had the best ’pace and RUN’ today. We met no other competitors so we won the race.🐾 Wow, boys that was fun. 👍 The Doggy Business Report: 1 poop for each boy at the same time. Many, many synchronized pees. Runner: Michelle

DGR RUN OF THE DAY #2 
  DISTANCE: 7.9 km DURATION: 1 hour 33 minutes
What a misty morning! It was a tad spooky. No problem, I am with all the ’Blonde Boys’. The King and I strolled in the fog and he had lots of pep in his step. Kenny loves to scoop up the snow. Sully and I headed over to Huxley's. Well, you would not believe how happy they were to see each other. Missing a week seemed like a year apart. The Blonde Boys had their very own off-leash party. Hitting two off-leash hot spots in the NW. Just look how happy that all are 💕🐾. The Doggy Business Report: Kenny had 1 poop and 2 pees. Huxley had 2 poops and many pees. Sully only peed today. It was exactly where Huxley peed. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1

Hello My Blonde Lovies. The King gets to go first. Today's stroll was only 2 houses up and then Kenny was satisfied with his stroll. Then a little life contemplation on the front lawn in the snow. All good - let's go inside. Sully, let's hit the streets!! ”Okay Michelle, but let my friends out of the Jeep.” Sorry, Sully, it's just you and me. WHAT! I am full of beans today, how am I supposed to burn all that energy off? Let's run a couple of your neighbouring communities. Hey Michelle, turn left here - my friend Teddy lives down there and The Everett Family. We had a quick 10-minute visit and also I got to see the kittens. Sully and I ran through that community. Sully was more excited to sniff and slide today. Running is okay but the SULLY SLIDE is amazing. Let's try to keep it away from the middle of the road🤣. ’Michelle you have so many rules! Live on the edge a bit.’ Sorry, we have no map today my estimated distance guess was 7.3 km. The Doggy Business Report: The King had 2 pees. Sully has several pees and 1 poop.

King Kenny went out first for about 10 minutes on his loop. Before the ’Blonde Young Pups’ and I went to River Park. That will not show on the Doggy Log run. Huxley just knew that today he must be running with Sully. Harness on and running to the Jeep. Vamos - let's go. The Blonde Boys love to make an entrance. Those happy faces made everyone smile at River Park. We did a little bit of a different workout today. Intervals! This seems to tire Sully out a bit quicker. Huxley was a bit surprised at ’where's the fire?’ Then, we slowed down and he would at me ’Lady we got to move - there's a fire.’ Keeping the boys and me on our toes🤣. Gotta love variety. The Doggy Business Report: The King had 1 poop and 2 pees. Huxley had 1 poop and mucho pees. Sully had 1 poop and lots of pees. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY #2

The sun is shining, it is slushy out, and the dog park is full of friends. There was no ’seriousness’ going to happen today with Sully & Huxley. The two blonde boys have not seen each other for awhile and it was time to play. I can not blame these two happy chappies. When the temperature reads +10C and it is almost November and you live in Canada - you have to party on days like today. Stop being so serious Michelle! Watch us as we do the penguin slide! Try it - it's loads of fun🤣. The Doggy Business Report: oodles of pees and each pup had 1 poop. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3   DISTANCE: 7.5 km DURATION: 1 hour 1 minute
Snow, why have you come so early? Although it seems that every year you come early. It’d be nice if you coulda waited a little longer this year. No? Okay, fine. Before heading over to take the boys out, I felt like a picky child pushing around their peas and carrots on their plate at the dinner table, knowing that not finishing my veggies meant no dessert. Once Sully and I got running, and my fingers and toes started to warm up, I began to feel more alive. The fresh tracks on the ground, the snow falling from the sky, and Sully as happy as can be. Dessert is good! I gave him a dry-off before taking Kenny down the street. Kenny made just about as many pee breaks as his brother in our short distance walk. Great job today boys! The Scoop: 1 poo, 5 pees. Runner: Ryan DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3

Southwest adventures today for the ’Blonde Boys’. River Park and the reservoir run was so much fun last time so it was time to do it again. Huxley, Sully and I were flying with our speed. This did become a bit overwhelming for Sully at the half-way point. Rumour has it that it is a Harvest Moon for the next week and we all may be off our axis🤣. After a stroll and more off-leash time, Sully was ready to run again. There was lots of play-time at River Park today for the boys. Huxley’s Harvest Moon demeanour was to tap me with his paw about every 3 minutes in the car for treats. Boys - Oh - Boys. The Doggy Business Report: 1 poop each plus a gazillion identical pees.

 DISTANCE: 9.3 km DURATION: 1 hour 55 minutes The young kids have a PE Day and the Canine Kids had a PP Day. Pup Play Day. I picked up Miss Marley early this morning and we gals went over to Kenny & Sully’s. A quick stroll for Kenny and then the pups got ready for some fun. Sully, Aoife and I ran over to Nosehill. Marley hitched a ride with Henry. The pups were so happy to be reunited. The sun was shining and tails wagging. Sully would have done at least an additional 4-5 kilometres. He kept running back and forth between all of us girls. Aoife was wanting to hitch a ride home but Sully convinced her that running back home would be better. I could see the smile on Marley’s face as she passed us in the truck. After an afternoon snack, I think there will be a nap. The Doggy Business Report: Sully had 1 poop and many pees. Miss Marley had several pees but no poops. Runner: Michelle
DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1 
  DISTANCE: 9 km DURATION: 1 hour 24 minutes Sully & Huxley
I picked up Huxley from his new home. I hear you could use some ’fun’. Let's go pick up your ’ blonde partner in crime’ for some doggy fun. Sully was wanting to go out NOW! Michelle, forget about Kenny. Sully, I promise great fun but Kenny gets his wee stroll first. I could tell Sully was more than READY. Okay, my blonde boys, today we are not going to go fast. Yes, to lots of fun but I don't want all those little capillaries in your lungs to fill with this smokey air. After my speech, we arrived right on cue to River Park. OMG - the smiles on these boys' faces were electrifying. Several people said ’They look happy ’ and they were! We did our best to stay surrounded by trees (Mother Natures filtering agent). Sully said to Hux, ’I know this area. Let me show you the best sniffing spots.’ We kept a moderate pace the entire time and the grins never left either pup. The Doggy Business Report: Sully had 1 poop. Huxley had 2 poops. Multiple comparative pees. DISTANCE: 280 m DURATION: 13 minutes Kenny King Kenny & I did the Kenny loop. It was a bit of a challenge to explain to Sully I had great plans for him and Huxley today. Just be patient. You are next. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3

All three boys greeted me at the door. Of course, Biggles didn’t come running up to me like the other boys, but he said hello from the comforts of a chair in the sun. Sully and I made our way on the sidewalks towards MRU, with occasional stops for Sully to roll around in some nearby grass. We took it nice and easy today with just a light jog. Sunny mornings like these aren’t going to be around for much longer, so I’m trying to enjoy them while they last. I took Kenny out into the alley first for our little loop. When we got back home, Sully was at the window and looked like he was ready to go out again. Great job today boys! The Scoop: 1 pee, 3 pees. Runner: Ryan  
The Boys are back in the NW part of town. I picked these two dashing ‘Blondes’ up on Thursday and brought them for a little sleepover. We got Kenny all settled in with Henry to do some gardening while the rest of the ‘kids’ headed over to Nosehill. Sully, Aoife and Huxley took Dalhousie & Edgemont by storm and turned some heads while we thundered on our run. We arrived back to find Kenny happy as can be, soaking up the admiration of some neighbours and Sully bypassed the potential new friends to be first at the water dish. After a very well deserved nap it was time for TV time & cuddles. Sully still a bit sleepy from his team marathon was more than happy to cuddle up with me and occasionally give me those loving eyes. Kenny tried out all 3 dog beds and choose his favourite to spend his dreamland evening. Time just flies by with this pair. Friday swept by, while Kenny took his front yard gardener and community greeter very seriously. Sully & Aoife kicked off their long weekend with full on play/party time. I can not believe our time is finished. I hear through Mom that the boys are off to spend time at the farm with more canine friends. Well, our home misses these boys already, we gratefully are indulging our separation anxiety with some sweet delights that the boys Mom brought for us. Xo

 Time to catch some Zzzz’s and recharge today. Kenny & Sully came for just a ‘teaser’ of a visit this weekend. 26 Hours of solid excitement and fun, with a few winks in-between. Saturday morning the boys arrived and was Aoife one happy girl. Kenny the Sweetest Senior loved being in the centre of all the action, as long as he could just chill and watch. Sir Sully and Aoife played all day long. In the house, outside, through the water hose, on the bed, off the bed, upstairs, downstairs these two ran and chased each other. There was about 25 minutes of Doggy Day Care on our front lawn when, the neighbour pup also joined in on the excitement. Jasper is a 5-month-old Anatolian Shepard. Even better now because the play boundaries expended by one full yard. Needless to say, there was not a dry coat amongst these 3, loads of slobber.🤣 Kenny loved watching and having the pups come and say ‘Hi’. All three would play wildly around Kenny, but when they got close they respected that he is the elder and would always be so gentle. Kenny enjoyed his Cabana time - just look at that smile. This morning was off to Nosehill for a continuation of yesterday. I predict that all pups will be taking a Sunday Siesta. An absolute blast these past 26 hours.

Biggles has been a guest at our home on a number of occasions. It was fantastic to have some alone time with him this weekend as he is really thriving on his new diet and gaining weight and energy. I love that he is living up to his name and getting bigger. He was one social dude and loved being a part of the family. He likes watching Netflix and giving hugs. I actually take his paws and kneads you; it is adorable!. He also liked to snuggle close to my son Eli and his girlfriend Danaya. We got a delivery of a doggy pool and Biggles enjoyed the box it came in. My dog Tedddy and Biggles also are really used to each other and it was nice. Tomorrow, Kenny and Sully join our pack for a visit so the energy will change a bit. Thanks for the chill weekend Mr. Bigs!

Sully and I made our way past the old Chinook Learning building, across the bridge and over to the paved loop beside the tennis courts. There was a hint of coolness in the air this morning which made it easier to keep running and forget about everything else. It’s probably why the four laps we completed around the loop felt effortless. Sully took a couple breaks today to mark his territory and just sniff around, but for the most part, he just stayed right by my side while we ran. For the last 10 minutes we rewarded ourselves with a brisk walk. Spectacular job today Sully! The Scoop: 2 pees, 1 poo. Runner: Ryan DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3
 DISTANCE: 7.7 km DURATION: 1 hour 8 minutes
I let Sully burst out of the door like a firework and proceed to run laps around the backyard before I clipped him onto the lead. When we began to run, he was already calmed down a little and right by my side rather than dragging me behind him like a tugboat. The heat might’ve had something to do with this because although it started off pretty cloudy, the air temperature was already beginning to rise. We covered some good distance in the first 30 minutes with a run, and so for the last half, we decreased our pace to a stroll. On our journey, we walked under a power line where some pigeons were looking down on us. I made sure to not walk directly under the birds as I did not want to become target practice. To the left of our feet on the sidewalk was a dotted line of white pigeon droppings. After I dropped Sully off, Kenny and I went around the corner and down the alley. In the alley, I let him off leash so I wouldn’t be pulling him and so he could take his time and smell the flowers and long grass. Great job today boys! The Scoop; 4 pees, 2 poos. Runner: Ryan |
