DISTANCE: 7.1 km DURATION: 1 hour 6 minutes

I had such a fun time meeting Leo and going on our first run together!! He is so sweet and gentle and, as I found out, a bit of a speedster as well! We started off nice and easy and made sure Leo did all his business before we really started to get going down by the river. It was a beautiful morning for a run and Leo loved getting out into the fresh air and sunshine. I hope I have more opportunities to run with Leo soon! The scoop: 5 pees and 1 poo (I missed recording the poo in the app but he definitely went!)

Leo is the Perfect Relaxing Partner!

It was a lot if chilling and playing for Leo and me this week, even though there weren't too many pumpkins and Halloween treats for us. Which is just as well, we avoided a MASSIVE sugar coma!  Leo is the perfect partner for having a relaxing time. He was quick to get on my level; whether we were playing with his toys or just watching a movie.  His favourite activities were definitely lounging around on the couch and staring at food!  We chillaxed on Saturday, going for walks and hanging out. We tried to enjoy the warm, dry, weather while we still could! Leo got to spend time on the balcony that afternoon. It's an amazing place to watch the sunset!  Sunday was super soggy and chilly so we were happy to spend most of our day inside all warm and toasty.  I was happy to have a cuddle buddy to help keep me warm at night on these chilly days, Leo was more than happy to oblige. Sometimes, he likes to maintain this aloof persona, but I know he secretly is always up for some cuddles.  Leo got really excited to see the snow this evening! We all love fall weather but big fluffy snowflakes certainly feel magical. All in all, he was a super duper well behaved boy, and we had a great time!

DISTANCE: 6.9 km DURATION: 1 hour 3 minutes

Long time no see Leo so let’s get a great Fall run in the books! The weather was perfect and we had an extra treat of prospective runner Alex joining us. Leo did a mix of light jog and of course sone sprints when a bunny 🐰 or squirrel 🐿 enticed him. I think we burned off a snack-sized Snickers bar post Halloween 🎃. Leo was a gem and I hope we get more runs in the future.   He even got to meet from afar, DGR Runner Dan and DGR Dog Nell. The Scoop:  1 poo,  7 pees.

 Leo and I haven't run together in forever! I was happy to see his smiley little face again and I think he was happy to see mine! We were joined with Steven, my pup, to try and liven Leo's enthusiasm for running and I think it worked! He ran pretty much the whole way with us as we weaved in and out of scooters, bikes, and LOTS of people. Turns out this is the night to be out and about in town.  There were SO MANY things going on.  The Scoop: 5 pees, 1 poo.

The Heat has Leo Seeking Shady Spots to Rest

Well... today Leo and I definitely did not break any speed records, I think it might have just been too hot for him. Our first and last 15 minutes were pretty good.  Everything in between however, was not so great. Leo seemed to be lagging behind a bit, so I took him by a shady dog park to rest. We ran in to my dog, Steven, there! Our rest at the park wasn't quite enough though. Leo insisted on laying down in the shade almost every block. Not even a treat would convince him to get going sometimes. So we did a lot of laying about. Thankfully, I eventually found a good stick that had Leo back into the swing of things and we managed jog most of the way back home. I'll try bringing some water next time bud! 1 poop, 4 pees.

Leo Plays a Stop Signal Game

Leo is such a good runner! Every time we go out, he gets better and better.  Today, I wanted to see how he would do without treat enticement and he did really well! His preferred speed is much slower however, so we didn't go too far today. We played a little game of chase the walk signal, in an attempt to avoid too much waiting around for lights to change. Whichever way the walk signal was on was the direction we went! No stopping, well not much stopping at least. Our route ended up being pretty crazy as a result, but since our pace was quite slow I think it worked out well. It was a pretty uneventful run, but we bumped into a very happy Corgi and you could tell Leo REEAALLYY wanted to play with his new friend. 2 poop, 4 pees.

​I had another awesome run with Leo today! Every time we run, he seems to get better and better at it! I do believe today was the farthest we've gone. Leo was awesome as usual with dealing with the busy streets.  He did insist we stop to check out the river. Leo was up for a faster speed today too and he sure did get us going. Wowza! We ran past the tennis courts in Sunalta. Leo was enraptured as we ran past stopping all the time to try to catch a ball that was missed. Too bad for those darn fences! 1 poop, 3 pees.

Wowza! Even though it was the hottest it's been so far this year, Leo was the most game for a run than he ever has been so far! He was soooooo good on his leash, even with millions of distractions on the pathways this afternoon including: bikes, babies, dogs, runners, ducks, geese and much more. The only thing that seemed to really catch his attention were skateboarders. The pathway along the river was beautiful, and there were hundreds of people out who all seemed very happy to see such a handsome dog out running. Though, for the future, we will find a path with a bit more shade! Leo sure did want to head down into the river, probably to cool off and chase the ducks. Leo set a real good pace going pretty much the whole time. On our last stretch, we took it real slow to give us a good cool down. 1 poop, 8 pees.

A Random Journey with Leo in the Rain

​It was a wet one today.  I think this explains Leo's reluctance to get running. He plopped himself down and made like he wasn't gonna go anywhere. But all it took was a yummy treat to coax him up and get him going. Despite the continued showers, Leo was a good sport, as long as the treats came often. There were quite a few little critters on our route today, much to Leo's excitement. But there were also a lot of trees for them to escape up. Darn! It was a zigzag and all-around random little journey that we took as we looked at the fancy houses climbing up the hills. I think it is safe to safe we were both pooped by the end! 1 poop, 5 pees.

​What a beautiful day for a run, Leo seemed a lot more amenable to the idea of running today (likely because of the treats). We got up to quite a good speed when I realized Leo was lagging behind.  His legs are just a smidge too short to comfortably keep up sometimes. He showed me what pace he likes and we continued on with very little interruption; save for the squirrel that darted past. Leo got so excited trying to catch the squirrel he bumped himself into a tree! What a goofball. Every so often he'd boop me with his little pink nose, and a smile on his face to ask for a treat, who could say no? We ended off with a nice little stroll home, Leo seemed real bummed when he realized it was over. Until next time! 1 poop, 4 pees.

Hello Leo! It was a pleasure to meet you. Though I'm not sure you were as quick to befriend me! That's okay, we have lots of time to get to know each other. Our first few blocks were awesome, Leo is so light on his feet I had to keep checking to make sure I was still attached to a dog! However, as we got farther from home and closer to the river, our run was a little less smooth. There were too many excited animals to look at and so many smells to smell. Leo was a bit reluctant to run, so we settled on a slower pace for much of the time, but we got up to a pretty good speed at kilometer 3. When it was time to head back home, you knew exactly where we were going, any deviation from the most direct route would not be tolerated. Leo made his opinions known by laying down and refusing to go anywhere but his way. What a goof! 1 poop, 3 pees.

Well, it's so nice to meet you Leo! Leo and I had a grand old time today getting to know each other in the splendid sunny weather. ☀   Today was my first run with you and I was so excited to meet you.  It was great! About 10 minutes in, we ran into a grumpy loud Chihuahua that annoyed Leo a little, which didn't help the fact that Leo seemed a little shy about me to begin with as his new runner. He seemed to wanna head home the whole time, so, instead of forcing him to run reluctantly (even though I really wanted to, it was all about Leo today!). We settled into a mild jogging/walking pace to get him warming up to me. Leo took plenty of breaks to lay on the slushy, splashy snow puddles and sniff around. He was super happy to act silly and finally, he seemed more comfortable by the end. Leo, I hope to see you again soon. Scoop: 1 poop and too many pees to count.

Leo was such a great boy today. After an extremely stressful day, the sun was shining and Leo was in the mood to run! With the snow melting, there were lots of smells and things to explore. Leo also received a bunch of compliments from a passers-by and met a couple of furry friends along the way. What a fun hour with Leo! Just what we both needed! The scoop: 1 poop and 4 pees.

Hello from Leo and me!! Leo was very excited to get going! We decided to go down by Elbow River for our run today. Leo met some friendly dogs and might’ve fallen in love with a Golden Retriever. We had quite a few sniff breaks since Leo loves to be aware on his adventures!! We didn’t have much sun today but it wasn’t too cold. Leo did very well when running by other people and dogs. By the end, Leo was getting tired and took a few breaks in the snow but it was nothing a couple treats couldn’t fix. We reached just about 6km and drove back home to get back to some toys! The sun started to peak out a bit and Leo was excited to be home to sit in the sun!! Scoop: 4-5 pees and 1 poop.

Leo had no idea who was walking into his house this afternoon! After a few minutes of warming up to each other, we headed out for our run! I was surprised when he went straight for the snow bank to have a lay down!  After about 20 minutes of sniffing and finishing his business, Leo was ready to run! We met some rabbits along the way, and Leo was VERY interested in playing with them. We trekked on though, and made our way to Ramsay where we realized we had lost track of time! We decided to head home and by this time Leo was very attentive and happy to run alongside me. What a great run! The scoop: 1 poop and countless pees.
