DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
  DISTANCE: 6.4 km DURATION: 1 hour 7 minutes
This was my first dog gone run in the books with my pal Lucy. She greeted me with all of her stuffed animals, and we headed out on a beautiful walk. Lucy ended up finding a stick that she brought with her for most of the trip back! We finished and I did not forget to give her a belly rub in the shade at the end of the walk!

DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DGR Dog Lucy loves people so how do you make her day? The answer: more people! We had 3 runners to give her belly rubs, water and a whole lot of attention. DGR Runner Brad and prospective runner Chris joined me to take Miss Lucy out along Confluence Park pathways. This long weekend has been spectacular with the warm temperatures so we made sure to give her 3 water breaks. I guess the number 3 was a theme today. She did also get some short sprints in as well as some gentle jogs. It was lovely seeing you Lucy. The Scoop: 2 pees, 0 poops.

Today was a smoky one! Lucy and I went on a shorter walk today to keep us safe from the smoke. Going a little slower than normal allowed Lucy to take some time to smell more! It's interesting how much more you notice when you go a little slower in your usual environment. On this walk, I was more aware of the many unique flowers we saw, I listened more carefully to the birds singing and paid attention to the cool wind on our faces. I'm happy we were still able to get outside today even if it was a little shorter than normal. The Scoop: 4 pees, 0 poops. Runner: Rae DGR RUN OF THE DAY    DISTANCE: 5.8 km DURATION: 1 hour Today we started out run by crossing a field of fresh cut grass. It was a beautiful day today, not a cloud in the sky! We saw many people doing interesting things today! There were cyclists, mountain bikers, a rollerblader and even people using a tandem bike! We also saw the train go by! It was quite hot out so we didn't go super fast but we still enjoyed our time outside! The Scoop: 3 pees, 1 poop. Runner: Rae

Today Lucy greeted me by bringing me one of her favourite toys! It was a very smoky day today so we went a bit slower than normal. We took time to admire the scenery of the park. We saw lots of people out biking and some even had masks on to protect them from the smoke. We also saw a record number of grasshoppers on this run! The Scoop: 3 pees 0 poops.

As we failed last time to find my girlfriend’s old house, this time I came prepared and knew exactly where to go. With Lucy’s guide skills, we were able to find it. This led us to our next adventure of running along the Panorama Hills' pathway that intertwined with the golf course. Lucy and I got a little worried as our time was ticking and we were still quite the way from home. It would take too long to go back, so we hoped for the best and kept going along the path. Towards the end, Lucy was parched and almost finished the remaining water, but was re-energized and raced home. The Scoop: 0 poops, 2 pees. Runner: Eli DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 6.2 km DURATION: 59 minutes This morning was wonderful as I woke up nice and early, read my book and made a delicious breakfast, but best of all I got to go on an amazing run with Lucy. I think Lucy may speak some human because she told me when she wanted to go fast or slow, when to take a break as well as when she needed water. Since this was our first run together, we decided to just adventure around. Eventually, I realized we were quite close to my girlfriend’s old house and I made that our destination. After a few missed turns and forgetting what street the house was located on, Lucy and I called it quits and headed home. The Scoop: 1 poop, 3 pees. Runner: Elli

Today was such a delightful run with Lady Lucy. I missed her and she greeted me with such enthusiasm and licks and hugs. It made my heart warm. It was gonna warm up later in the day so I started the run earlier. I was surprised that it was still so hazy and the wildfire smoke still lingered. Lucy was going along our route. We did not meet any furry friends on our way and the run was relaxed and pleasant. We saw several flowers and the varied wildflowers along the path were certainly picturesque. We did stop for her to get some water sips and that helped her greatly. She did not chase any sticks and that surprised me as that’s usually her favourite thing to do on this particular route. It was just a content and relaxed run along with my amazing Lucy. The Scoop: 2 pees, 1 poop. Runner: Muzna DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Today, I was delighted to meet the gorgeous Golden Retriever Lucy! She excitedly greeted me and DGR Owner Ruth by bringing us one of her favourite toys. I knew our relationship was off to a good start! We went through a park (Confluence Park) I had never explored before and saw many interesting things. We had saw skyline views, watched a train pass by and enjoyed big blue skies! On our adventure, we saw 2 beautiful tiny yellow birds I had never seen before and at first, we thought they were butterflies. On our way back and with no other dogs in sight, we weaved through some trails! We concluded our time together with a big drink of water, lots of belly rubs and some kisses, I can't wait to see Lucy again! She sure had a great smile today! The Scoop: 1 poop and 3 pees.

Today was a wet one with Lucy. It was slightly drizzling on my way to Lucy's and I expected the rain to stay for today’s wet run. Lucy was not at all deterred and kept happily going along the wet path. The sky was covered with thick fluffy clouds and I did not want a downpour or thunder, everything else I was ready to take on. Expectedly, there were hardly any people on our route. A few fluffy friends were out as we spotted them in the distance. Lucy was enjoying the coolness from the rain and even dug up a stick to play with. She carried the stick most of the way. We shortened our time as the rain was persistent and headed back slightly sooner. I bid hugs and farewell to Lucy, as this was my last run with her. Until we meet again pretty lady, Scoop: 2 pees, 1 poop. Runner: Muzna DGR RUN OF THE DAY

It was another great run with Lucy. We had missed our regular Monday morning runs due to the holiday so Lucy greeted me playfully and was ready to get out the door. It was a very cloudy sky and I was especially concerned that it may start to rain heavily while we were on our route. To my surprise, Lucy was focused on the run and did not get distracted or swayed by any sticks or anyone on our route. We swiftly ran our route which was quiet with not many runners or walkers. My suspicion was turned to an actualization when it was pouring on our way back. Luckily, the downpour lasted hardly a few minutes and then it stopped and we were able to get back inside not too long after. Running through the rain was interesting and a Lucy did not mind it.

Lucy was ready to go on her Friday run as soon as I got there. Even with her mom home, she was excited and almost impatient to get out on our adventure today. The temperatures had warmed up considerably and the sky was bright blue with patches of white fluff. Lucy was slightly sluggish and not as energetic. She took a few breaks mid-way and even stopped under the bridge. I took the opportunity to take some pictures of her at that time. We were going along and I decided to go pass the stream and Lucy jumped with excitement. We went closer to the water but hesitated to go any further. It was a great run for end of the week and Lucy enjoyed her treats at the end! The Scoop: 2 pees, 1 poop. Runner: Muzna DGR RUN OF THE DAY

It was an awesome run on a bright sunny day. All the snow on the weekend made way for green grass starting to appear. Lucy was excited and happy to be out and remained excited for today’s adventure. We took a slightly different route and she seemed to stop every time she was curious. We met no furry friends on this path but several people were out enjoining the sunny break after a winter-like weekend in the middle of spring. She chased after a stick and even took a ‘ sit break’ under the bridge. I think that was more for me to catch a breath as we were going fast and the warm sun was creating a sweat. We had both warmed up considerably by the time we got done. I was layering down and Lucy needed her water. The Scoop: 2 pees, 1 poop. Runner: Muzna DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Lucy was ready to run as soon as I got there but we had to take the stairs once again as the elevator had been out of service for 2 weeks now. It was very windy in both directions and though it was warming up, I still needed my gloves which I had but had accidentally left my toque at home. The warmer temperatures the past few days have certainly deceived me. We were greeted by many furry friends on the way and I thought there were many more today than I had ever seen. It seems like everyone was out with their dogs and Lucy was trying to stop a lot. She wanted to play with each one that crossed our path. But she seemed just as happy to find some sticks and play along nonchalantly. She swiftly played with several sticks along the way, dropping some and then finding another. Yet another happy run with Lucy. The Scoop: 2 poops, 3 pees. Runner: Muzna DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1

It was a beautiful run with Lucy. There were clear blue skies and no wind. We started our most popular route and we were both ready to get going. With the beautiful day out, I was surprised not to see many people or furry friends out there. Lucy bathed in the sun, took a few breaks by sitting on the snow-less grass path, chased a few sticks and then just seem to cherish her time being out. She listened to my ‘stops’, ‘let’s go’ and ‘not there’ instructions. She is used to me and I’m reading her cues better too. The Scoop: 2 pees, 1 poop. Runner: Muzna |
