DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
  DISTANCE: 7.2 km DURATION: 1 hour 8 minutes
Good morning, Marley! He’s got a heavy coat on him which makes this heatwave so much more intense. The florals were blooming all around us which intrigued Marley to break stride and take a sniff. Frequent breaks in the shade were necessary today (for us both)...and the occasional lay down in the grass. Even though it was very warm, Marley was still focused and listened well. He earned a big bowl of water and a weekend of relaxing! The Scoop: 1 poo, multiple pees. Runner: Lucia

DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
  DISTANCE: 5K DURATION: 1 hour 9 minutes
I was greeted with an excited Marley at the glass door this morning. After a pre-walk treat for both Marley and his visiting cousin, Marley and I hit the lake paths. The cloud cover that hadn’t burnt off yet made our tour a lot more comfortable for both of us today. We had the pleasure of listening to the birds, watching a few bunnies and watched a few kayakers. We got to one crossroad on the path that Mr. Marley decided he didn’t want to go anymore and he laid down. After a little cuddle, I decided that we should maybe head home. I did notice that Marley was slightly limping yesterday so we took it slow due to this and the weather. Today, he started with a slight limp again so we again took it slow but he was stopping quite a few times to rest. The Scoop 4 pees, 1 poop. Runner: Brenda DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Marley led the charge today! I felt like I was the one being walked! After meeting Marley outside of his house and exchanging some pats, we went on walking. Marley was the main navigator and I was just going with the flow. No wonder the path of our walk was so wonky! A few times he tried to lay down on the path but I was able to change his mind with some help from a treat bribe. As we went along towards North Glenmore Park, Marley was attempting to claim all the telephone poles for himself. This photogenic beauty posed so well for me and I was able to get some beautiful portraits of him during our first run together. Can’t wait to spend more time with this golden boy!

Marley was fresh as a daisy (or daffodil) this morning! With a moderate temperature available to us, his energy levels remained high throughout the entire "wog" (walk/jog). Marley and I have become creatures of habit and enjoy a similar route every Friday. Here, we admire the beauty of close-by neighbourhoods and the scenic views of the Glenmore Reservoir. Why change a good thing? We also thoroughly enjoyed the blooming flowers that were planted along many green spaces - the perks of spring walks! The Scoop: 1 poop, multiple pees.

Marley and I had a blast this morning. We are both excited for the long weekend ahead! Even though he is still recovering from his injury, he is as playful as ever. Rolling in damp grass seems to be his favourite activity. The smile on his face says it all. Keeping with our regular scheduled programming, we did a walk/jog combo. No signs of limping or pain. As the grass gets greener and the temperature gets warmer, I look forward to our workouts together! The Scoop: 1 poop, multiple pees. Runner: Lucia DGR RUN OF THE DAY

What a wonderful pup Mr. Marley, Again, I THROUGHLY enjoyed my time with him! Marley and I took to the neighbourhood to check out all the houses that are under renovation or being sold. We hit every crescent and zig zag we could and even popped into a few back paths. He was curious about a few squirrels and 1 particular pup behind a fence. He is an ABSOLUTE pleasure to spend time with today! Hope to see you again. The Scoop: 5 pees, 1 poop. Runner: Brenda DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Marley and I enjoyed the fresh Friday air this morning! His knee has been quite swollen recently, so we opted for the walk for 10 minutes/jog for 2 minutes cycle. This seemed to work well for him. Marley was a bit silly today and enjoyed pulling sideways on the leash... this could’ve been providing relief for his leg? Regardless, he had a smile on his face the entire time - who can resist that? Enjoy some R&R this weekend, Marley man! The Scoop: 1 poo, multiple pees. Runner: Lucia DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Wow, wow, wow! It was a fabulous morning jog with Marley! No matter the pace we go, I always enjoy spending time with this smiley guy. We’ve become accustomed to our regular route; can’t beat those views! When we stopped for a cool-down by the beach, Marley figured it was better to full on lay in the water instead of just dipping his paws in. Marley might need a bath this weekend. Nevertheless, we both enjoyed getting out for some exercise this morning! The Scoop: 1 poo, multiple pees. Runner: Lucia DGR RUN OF THE DAY

This temperamental weather did not impact Marley’s attitude one bit. He was excited as ever this morning! As always, we jogged and walked intermittently to make sure his leg was not aggravated. Marley found so much joy in rolling in the wet, snowy grass along our route. If I let him, he would’ve done that the entire time. We managed to make a scenic pit stop along the reservoir where Marley could have a quick drink of water. Otherwise, business as usual for this handsome pup! The Scoop: 1 poo, multiple pees.

Friday mornings with Marley are always a breath of fresh air! We opted for our usual route around the reservoir and it did not disappoint. We could spend hours out there! Marley’s leg wasn’t giving him any issues today. However, we still erred on the side of caution. What I appreciate about Marley is his ability to stay focused during the workout. He remains close to my hip (unless he needs to go to the bathroom), doesn’t react to other dogs/animals, and does not pull on the leash. We have definitely got into a good groove over the last year!

It’s been a couple weeks since I’ve seen Marley. It was nice to catch up with him again! The air was fresh and perked up our energy levels. With Marley still on the mend, we focused on a speed walk with some light jogging every fifteen minutes. Now that all the snow has melted, he was very curious to sniff out what has been hiding below it all winter. We didn’t find any buried treasure, but Marley did manage to uncover numerous mittens and gloves that were left behind. The Scoop: 1 poo, multiple pees. Runner: Lucia DGR RUN OF THE DAY

I count myself very lucky today to have started my day off in the sun with Mr. Marley. I meet Marley's mom and then Marley and I took to exploring a new area for me and I have to say Marley was my tour guide. He took me on a full tour of ponds, paths and the reservoir. Marley is a beautiful gentleman who is very confident and polite. It was an absolute pleasure meeting you. The Scoop: 2 pee (a few markings), 1 poop. Runner: Brenda DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Typical Calgary spring - right when we think we are getting to the warm weather, we are “blessed” with more snow instead. The pathways were icy so Marley and I were extra cautious to make sure we stayed safe. He did have a little slip, but it didn’t seem to bother his injured leg. From then on, we opted to run on the snowy grass to avoid the frozen patches. Marley could have kept going as his energy levels were still very high but our time was up!

Happy Friday, Marley! He is looking so trim and strong these days. We enjoyed the beautiful morning by touring the reservoir. Marley was particularly amused by the ducks and geese chasing each other around in the river. His good behaviour and temperament was rewarded with some tasty treats, which he happily enjoyed. Marley was so smiley that it was hard to choose only four photos to submit - he’s such a happy pup! The Scoop: 1 poo, multiple pees. Runner: Lucia DGR RUN OF THE DAY

With all the DGR workouts Marley is getting this week, it took some convincing to get him excited for this morning’s workout. Once we were out on the trail, his mood perked up! These speed walks have been a great opportunity for Marley and me to bond because we aren’t focused on distance. His injured leg did not seem to bother him at all, which is a great sign of recovery. Looking forward to our walk together tomorrow! The Scoop: 1 poop, 4 pees. Runner: Lucia |
