DISTANCE: 3.8 K DURATION: 43 minutes walking and 25 minutes of belly rubs and play

It was great to see Lucy again!  We took 4 minutes of welcoming each other again before our walk. She was an absolute rockstar on her walk. She had a great pace. She is on a mission.  She doesn't pull or sniff everything in sight. We took some photos by the water and she went in (sorry) which I did not expect because she has never done that but she was happy. I did dry her off at home and she was even more happy with all the rubs which was too funny! The Scoop:  4 pees  and 0 poops.

Porcupine in the Tree with Lucy

DISTANCE: 7K DURATION: 1 hour 6 minutes

On today's run/walk, we saw lots of wildlife compared to our other runs. We saw pigeons, ducks and a porcupine in the tree. Lucy didn't notice the porcupine in the tree probably because it was in the distance. I zoomed in to get a better photo. Lucy cared mostly about the snow especially because there's less of it. She looks for any opportunity to dive and roll right into it. The Scoop: 2 pees, 1 poop.

​Gotta love our chinooks but the wind can go away! Lucy and I had another catwalk model session! Lots of bikers on the pathways today but everyone was so happy to see Lucy smiling! I think I got probably my best picture of Lucy to date! So happy and smiling! Oh and we found the stick again - it was a bit snow-covered but that nose on Lucy found it and ran with it along 96 Ave! Next run it will be at the back door to the apartment! Ha! The Scoop: 0 poops and couple of pees.

DISTANCE: 10.3 km DURATION: 2 hours 10 minutes

Good Morning kiddos!! It was another gorgeous day out there today! I think I am starting to love Calgary's  winters.  Did I really said that?  Today was a “Fear Factor show” for little Conor..  A lot of things happened that spooked the little man. A skateboarder came up suddenly behind behind us. Poor Conor, I think his heart came out his chest. I decided that the rest of the walk would be about relaxing, and stopping and looking around so the little man could get over his fears.  We stopped to let a group of moms with strollers pass us,  I think Conor thought those were aliens. LOL!. Leia was there to comfort him.  Kop, as his older big brother probably told him all kind of spooky stories…  However, we still enjoyed our walk still so all was good. The Scoop: Conor had 1 poop and 2 pees. Leia had 0 poop and 2 pees.

​The welcome I got from Lucy was probably the best one yet!  She brought me so many stuffies. We said our hello's and then we were off we went with Lucy leading the way. The squirrels must’ve had a conference because there was a squirrel every third home so Lucy was having so much fun. We got home and we had a towel off and she even got brushed! The Scoop: 1 poop and a few pees.

Well holy Chinook!!! Today's run was amazing! Lucy must have known that the weather changed as she was full of energy! We hit the pavement running. She found a stick and pretty much kept it the entire hour; even when she was rolling in the snow, she wouldn’t let me start running again until she got her stick. The Scoop: 1 poop, 2 pees.

Fingers crossed that this is the last run in the deep freeze! Lucy was eager to hit the pathway and we walked in areas that were sheltered so we didn’t get the wind too much! There were not many people out (not surprising) but we turned around about half-way and headed back to do a few laps in the apartment. We even got to say hello to a neighbour! Then, as a special treat, I gave Lucy a nice long brush with some belly rubs! And she even got a few treats! Next week be prepared for nice weather Lucy! I can’t wait! The Scoop: 1 poop and 2 pees.

Light Jogging in The Deep Freeze with Rossi

DISTANCE: 5.8 km  DURATION: 45 minutes

​Rossi and I started off slow and steady with some light jogging and a bit of walking. I think we were both feeling  pretty cold in the beginning. Once we crossed over the busy road and made our way along the Bow River Pathway, Rossi took the lead and we started going a little faster. We also found a tree that was decorated with Christmas ornaments just off to the side of the path, so we made a quick stop to take some pictures. I made sure to consistently check up on him to see if he was limping or getting too cold. There were no signs of limping today, but Rossi definitely seemed keen on heading home and warming up, as he lead me back over to Bowness Road. When we got back home, the frost on our faces melted away and I gave him some pets before saying goodbye. Great job today buddy! The Scoop: 4 pees, 0 poops.

​Well why not start off the new year of runs with a cold one! I received some pre-game rubs while saying hi to Lucy's mom and then off we went. Lucy did great until about the last leg as she started to lift her paws. At the light, I warmed up her feet and got rid of all snowballs. We did an indoor lap of each floor in the apartment building and then went back to visit with Lucy's mom while Lucy got TONS of belly rubs! The Scoop: 0 poops, 1 pee.

Lucy and A Skunk?

DISTANCE: 6.6 km DURATION: 1 hour 1 minute

​The weather today was very nice and Lucy seemed very happy. She was energetic and wanted to race me when we started! We ran around the lake and probably came across a skunk because it was a little stinky and she started barking at the bushes. Thankfully, the smell warned us ahead of time and we quickly moved on. The paved path around the lake was also a little slippery and the ice was not very noticeable, blending into the colour of the pavement. We had to be extra careful and ran on the grass a lot too. Snowfall is almost here and we’ll be more aware of our surroundings when running now! The Scoop: 1 poop, 4 pees.

Lucy was very energetic today and couldn’t wait to get going as soon as I walked inside. She was super happy to see the snow and immediately rushed over to check it out. Then, we got into a nice pace for the rest of the run. It was chilly with the falling rain/snow, but nothing too bad. Although because of this weather, we only saw a total of 5 people on the path and practically had the place to ourselves! Lucy really enjoyed running on the grass as much as she could and we had to avoid mud a few times. It was fun though! The Scoop: 1 poop, 4 pees.

Good afternoon, The weather today was cool and sunny.  It was perfect for a nice run. Lucy was super excited that there was snow and immediately went to roll around in it when we got outside! She took every chance she got to run in the snow too. After getting to the lake, we watched some ducks from a little ledge and Lucy was very curious to see them splashing around. This is a fantastic start for November. The Scoop: 4 pees and 1 poop.

​Good Afternoon, Today was gloomy, but it didn’t start snowing until the end of our run. Lucy and I ended up doing 2 laps around the lake because there were barely any people out.  We had the place to ourselves! There were also lots of cool Halloween decorations on our run and we just had to get some photo shoots in as Lucy explored around the decor. Happy Halloween! The Scoop: 2 pees, 1 poop.

Good afternoon! Lucy and I had a cool run today.  We found a cute little spot hidden behind some trees that had a mini bridge! She was excited to go over and explore the area. Then, as we looped around the lake, there were lots of mud and puddles that we had lots of fun avoiding. And lastly, we found these cute Halloween-themed compost bags that we just had to pose with! Today was super exciting. The Scoop: 1 poop and 3 pees.

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!  The Scoop: 3 pees, 1 poop.
