DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 8K DURATION: 1 hour 35 minutes
Good morning little ones. Oh look, a surprise! Mommy asked for you to go for a long walk.. Let’s hope it is a smokeless destination. Talking about smoke., there wasn’t many people out this morning. We could barely see the other side of the lake. Today, we went longer, and the doggies loved it. We passed the marina and to our surprise, there was some people setting up a hot air balloon. We spent a couple minutes looking at the balloon getting ready to lift off. The Kiddos weren’t scared; not even Conor. Hot air balloons can be pretty impressive! The crows weren’t very impressed though and they zoomed at low altitude by the balloon. We had a lovely day. I succeeded at tiring the pups! The Scoop: Conor had 1 poop and 2 pees . Leia had 1 poop and 2 pees. Runner: Fab

DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 5.7 km DURATION: 1 hour 13 minutes
Good morning kiddos! Oh boy, what is happening today? Looks like we had some Stampede flavours around here. The kiddos and Kopek were so exited. They were jumping, sniffing, and wanting to run. All fun stuff! They had that excitement before the 1st day of vacation. We went for a little stroll in the “magic forest." There were a lot of squirrels out there. Leia loved it! Both kiddos jumped in the lake. It feels so good! Right kiddos? The Scoop: Conor had 1 poop and 2 pees. Leia had 2 poop and 2 pees. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY

!Buenos días A•Reb•á¡ Rumour has it you may feel a little slower today after your long distance evening. I did not have Aoife with me today because ‘my little princess’ does not have the same stamina in the heat as her energizer friend does. The first 10 minutes I was thinking Reba was not moving that quickly. Then she caught a whiff of the water and bam!! The jumping jack beans kicked in. Reba was kicking up her heals. Then the run got even better....we ran into DGR Treat lady (Tracy) and DGR Mira and Nova. The day was made. These girls had fun running together and fun in the sun and water. It was a Puppy Party🎉. The impromptu ones are always the most fun.Thank you Tracy, Mira and Nova for taking our run to the ‘fun overload’ side. The Doggy Business Report: 2 poops and 2 pees. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 5.8 km DURATION: 1 hour 6 minutes Good morning little kiddos! Happy Monday to you all. Now, you need to hear the truth and only the truth. Did you hear the thunderstorms this weekend? Mommy said no but I suspect she wants me to believe that your neighbourhood is Gawwwd country What a beautiful morning we are having. To be honest, too hot can be a bit too much at times. Right Conor? Conor is like Aunty Fab - fair weather is plenty good for us. Today, we got to take the upper trails for most of our walk. Conor likes it when there are not too many people out and since it is early morning, this is our lucky time of the day. Leia is all about Kopek. Of course, she behaves like a lady. However, today, I got to see who is trouble. If Leia is not walking next to Kop, then Conor sneaks past and nips Leia’s back to force her to play. We also got to see a crow fight. We had to walk low as they were flying right above our heads. The Scoop: Conor had 1 poop and 1 pee. Leia had 1 poop and 3 pees.

Good morning little ones! Happy Stampede Day! It looks like today is a big day in Calgary. It doesn’t mean you two are allowed to act like little bronco horses. It was another beautiful morning today. The Sunshine was out and it was on coolish side... Let’s make a bit of a change. Today, we took the upper trail. There were not many people at that time of the day so it was really nice Conor and Leia eyed some ducks on the lake. "Aunty Fab, why can't we chase them?" It would be so much fun! I can’t believe how Conor is more relaxed now that his little sister walks with him. That being said, Leia ignores Conor when she walks by Kopek. The Scoop: Conor had 1 poop and 1 pee. Leia had 1 poop and 1 pee. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 6.3 km DURATION: 1 hour 19 minutes
Good morning Kiddos! Let’s enjoy a beautiful morning. It was not too hot and not too cold. These are perfect conditions for the pooches to enjoy their walk. We took the lower trails today but we also stayed along the lake up to the stone wall corner. We used to do that route with Conor. Leia was so funny because she wanted to trot so badly. I gave her the opportunity to do so on a small stretch of the road. Here she was all business and shoulder to shoulder with Kopek. Then, little Conor tried to get her. to play. No way! She even told Conor off. “We are not playing here little man, it is serious business." The two dogs got to watch a family of ducks. Conor wanted to go in the water to chase them. Nope, you can’t do that Conor. Then. he got to chase a group of crows. Okay Conor, you can do that. Upon our return, their sister Java graced me with a picture. This young lady looks great. The Scoop: Conor had 1 poop and 2 pees. Leia had 1 poop and 1 pee. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 6.1 km DURATION: 1 hour 4 minutes
After a long heatwave, it was so nice to go out for a cool morning walk with Conor and Leia! There is such a nice fresh smell lingering from the rain yesterday. I can’t get over how good Conor and Leia walk together, and how much more relaxed Conor is with his sister by his side! They are two peas in a pod. When one stops to sniff something, the other also has to stop to sniff too. They are also such curious pups; always trying to figure out what is going on around them. Thanks for the morning exercise Conor and Leia! The Scoop: 0 poops and pees for both. Runner: Kathleen DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 5.1 km DURATION: 1 hour 11 minutes
Good morning poochies! With 23 degrees at 6:30a.m. , we know how this one will be. 🥵 The kiddos are always ready to go. I can’t get over how Conor is more relaxed now. He even let me pet him before the start. Usually, he is kind of shy, but not this morning. As usual, we took the lower trails. There must have been some wind last night as we played spiderweb plow the entire time. Leia is getting very brave. She is very confident when she sees those 2 Boxers flying by their fences. Conor isn’t too sure still. My dog Kop is trying to show Conor how to be brave.. Stay cool kiddos and see you next week The Scoop: Conor had 1 poop and 1 pee, Leia had 0 poop and 1 pee.

Good morning Kiddos! Look at you all ready to go early this morning. Oh, this will be another 🥵 hot one today. It was very busy on the paths today. There were a lot of bikers as well as doggies taking their humans for a walk; all out early in hopes of beating the heat! We took the lower trails as usual and stayed off the path as much as possible. Conor is so much more relax when Princess Leia is out with him. My dog Kop was on the quiet side today to the delight of kiddos. I guess everyone is a bit more mellow by the recent heatwave. Leia is very interested by squirrels 🐿. She pricks her ears way up and there is no way to get her attention back 😆. We found a beautiful daisy patch and we did our best to take nice photo there. The Scoop: Conor had 2 poops and 1 pee. Leia had 1 poop and 1 pee. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 5.9 km DURATION: 1 hour 5 minutes
Today was a special and exciting day for Conor, Leia and me because for the first time, we all got to run together! Usually these two pups are walked separately, but we decided to give it a go today after their success on a walk last week. And to my surprise, they were amazing together! Their tails were wagging the entirety of the walk, and I could just tell how happy they were to be walking together. Today is so beyond hot that there is an “excessive heat warning”, so I’m really glad we went for our walk when we did because it is just getting hotter and hotter by the hour. We made lots of stops for swimming and drinking, and walked through the forest paths to stay shaded which was nice and cool. Conor and Leia for the most part just ran beside each other, and the odd time they would try to play. I would simply grab their leash and hold them at either side of me so we could continue. I think we will be seeing many more walks altogether in our future and I can’t wait! Stay cool today you fun pups! The Scoop: 1 poop each, 0 pees. Runner: Kathleen DGR RUN OF THE DAY.  DISTANCE: 5.4 km DURATION: 1 hour 17 minutes
Good morning little darlings! Oh look, Mommy decided to try having you two (Conor and Leia) go together!! I wasn’t sure either how it would go. Three pups on leashes can very much look like a stampede chuckwagon race😆😆. But hey, let’s try it. To my surprise, the trio behaved like stars. There was no chaos during the walk. If anything, Conor seemed to be a bit more relax since little sister was out with him. Well, didn’t mean Leia was taking care of him. She had eyes on Kop as usual. As we walked the lower trail, we saw a bald eagle and some crows battle. Those noisy little crows are not scared of anything... They chased that big bird out of their nest territory in no time. The Scoop: Conor had 1 poop and 3 pees. Leia had 1 poop and 2 pees. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Good morning Miss Princess Leia! Oh oh, it looks like the kiddos are having an extra nap. Then, this gal (me) came to disturb that tranquility. Hahah! My bad! This didn’t bug Leia at all. Let’s go! She is ready any time of the day. We took the hilly trails up to the end and back. It was the perfect distance for that little gal. We took a bit of the path as well. We didn’t see many pooches that early in the morning, but it is okay. Leia loves to have the trails for herself... As usual, she tried to play with Kop but Kop ignores her most of the time. That big brother always look at her with a “can you not go play with your own little brother instead” kind of face Poor Leia! The fun part is that she enjoys watching Kopek zoom-zooming with her. She sure loves that game. The Scoop: 1 poop and 2 pees. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Hello wonderful little princess... oh, did I ever got a welcome dance today. This young lady was jumping all over me. I am sure she thought I had some treats. Unfortunately, I forgot my pouch. Oh, bad me! It didn’t stop her having a lot of fun with My dog Kop. We did our regular tour. Every time is new. Some flowers are blooming while others are already done. It is a guaranteed change of scenery. Today, the lake was high and so close to the trail. Poor little Leia, she tried her best to let me know she wanted to go for a dip. Unfortunately, this lake doesn’t allow pooches to dip their little toes in there. I tried to explain it to this little girl but no, I think she will write the complaint letter to Glenmore Reservoir Head Office. I overheard she is collecting signatures as we speak. We had a wonderful outing regardless The Scoop: 1 poop and 1 pee. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Good Morning Mr Conor! Hey, look at the sunshine today. Hurray! I was so happy to see the sun shining this morning when I left home after the past few days of rain and thunder. To celebrate, we ventured to the lake. Connor is always very happy to dip his little toes in the water and so is Kopek. To Conor's delight, we did a few trips to the lake. We decided to stay around the lake where there are lots of people as there are many bear sighting signs everywhere. So it was no trail running in the magic forest today. That said, we had an awesome time walking in the neighbourhood. The Scoop; 2 poops and 2 pees. Runner: Fab DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Good morning Miss Leia! Energetic, smiley, and happy is how I would describe her this morning. She flew out of the house and was bouncing around all excited to get moving! I had commented on how energetic she was, but I think that is just how Leia is every morning. I wish I could say the same! But no better way to wake up than to get in some exercise! The paths were empty again today, probably because the air felt a little bit chillier this morning. Everything smelled fresh and the water was so calm, I wish I could’ve gone water-skiing on it. I seriously felt like I was at a lake on vacation! Not a bad way to start the day, that is for sure! The Scoop: 1 poop, 0 pees. Runner: Kathleen |
