DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 ,DISTANCE: 3.6 km DURATION: 54 minutes
Marley and I shared the chilly morning running together. We took it a little slower today to account for Marley's limp. We went out into the neighbourhood and up the paths toward Glenmore. Marley was hesitant to hear the annoying cars today so we took a different route through the neighbourhood. It was a good choice though because Marley and I got to see some early Halloween decorations! I tried to take a photo with Marley in front of some but he seemed a little spooked by the zombie decorations. We looped around back to where we started and sniffed around in the field. Marley and I made it over to the golf course where I took a photo of this silly boy with a leaf in his mouth. He made it clear he was getting a little tired so we slowed down and turned back around. I got us to cut through the paths behind the houses to give Marley something new to sniff. After we emerged out at the dog park again we decided to head home as Marley was getting a little tired. Still a very rewarding jog today. Thanks for exploring the neighbourhood with me some more! Until next time! The Scoop: 2 poops, 5 pees. Runner: Mason

DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE: 4.5 km DURATION: 1 hour 2 minutes A gorgeous morning run for Marley and me today! Marley started off sniffing the frost-covered grass in the field as we made our way up to the path alongside Glenmore and jogged along until we reached the reservoir. We pretty much had the path to ourselves as there weren’t many people out today aside from a few runners. We jogged along the reservoir and took pictures as we went. The water was so clear today and it looked so refreshing! It makes me want a bottle of water after this. We came out of the reservoir paths and into the woods by the storm ponds and explored some more. We came back on the golf course side and Marley sniffed every other tree on the way. Marley definitely had lots of energy today and was quite enthusiastic at every step! He didn’t lay down for a rest even once! The sun started coming out just as we were arriving back in the neighbourhood, warming us up again before the run ended. Thanks for spending such a gorgeous morning with me and for running hard! Good work Marley! See you next time buddy! The Scoop: 2 poops, 6 pees. Runner: Mason  DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Marley and I spent the chilly morning running together. Marley started off sniffing in the nearby field as usual. Then, we crossed the road and followed the path up until one of the paths that cut in. Marley seems to be tired after a week of running cause he did his signature move of laying down on the path. We turned back so I could hopefully convince him to keep running along. I convinced him to explore in and out of the neighbourhood paths for new scenery and smells, it worked long enough to get to the storm ponds where Marley made friends with a dog and some people passing. The fall colours just looked amazing over by the ponds and the sun illuminating and accentuating it. I wonder what the fall colours look like to Marley. We turned back around after following through the trees for a while. Marley rolled in the grass in the field before heading home. We jogged back on the golf course side, beautiful orange and yellow leaves covering the sides of the path. Every day in fall is gorgeous when spent with the golden boy. He sniffed a few trees on the way back and I gave him some good scratches before we arrived back. Thanks for spending such a great morning with me! I know Marley is probably tired from all the runs this week so I was very proud of how far he came with me today! Thanks again Marley! Runner: Mason DGR RUN OF THE DAY

A wonderful day to run an incredible dog! This was my first run with Marley and he is such a sweet gentle soul, I really enjoyed running him today. He knew where he wanted to go today and lead the way. We ran down to Weaselhead and looked at all the beautiful fall colours, had a couple of water breaks and stopped for a bit of fun at the Free Library. A perfect way to start the day. Thanks Marley!

 DISTANCE: 4.5 km DURATION: 1 hour 2 minutes Marley and I started off our run today sniffing the nearby field. We slowly sniffed our way up the field towards Glenmore Trail. We cut up Glenmore and onto the paths. Marley was definitely in a jogging mood today! He was eager to get ahead and start sniffing. We got to watch some golf course maintenance as we walked and enjoyed that crisp morning breeze as we looked at the view. There were lots of photos to be taken today! The fall colours coming out made everything look gorgeous. We sat down on a bench for a minute to enjoy the morning vibes before continuing on. The path home was still closed for construction so we took a detour through the storm ponds! Marley just wanted to go off trail and bushwhack but I convinced him that we should stay on the trails if he wanted to get home faster. We did a little more sniffing along the boulevards before sprinting the last stretch! Thanks so much Marley for turning this brisk morning into a very entertaining and beautiful run!

Marley got to enjoy his autumn stroll along the reservoir and Lakeview pathways with 2 lovely ladies today: prospective runner Danielle and me. He was ever the gentleman listening well and leading us along the best trails to view the foliage. Thanks for being our guide! I always notice that time just flies when out with this gentle soul. There was not too much activity on the pathway so we got to enjoy Marley time. He was also super keen for two belly rubs along the way and I was more than happy to accommodate this request! Marley also was happy to find a stick along the way. So much fun to be reunited with this sweet boy! The Scoop: 1 poop, 1-2 pees. Runners: Ruth and Danielle DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE: 4.8 km DURATION: 1 hour It’s been a while since the last time I saw Marley, but I think he remembers me as he happily greeted me at the door. The two of us had an easy going walk on this chilly September morning. There was lots of sniffing around and just enjoying the outdoors. We made our way over to Glenmore pathway, but had to take a detour through a field due to some construction. Marley rolled around a few times in the dewy grass at the field. The views from the Glenmore pathway were spectacular as always. An array of autumn colours surrounded the Reservoir which was glistening with rays of sunshine. Marley and I walked along the grassy side of 66 Avenue on our way home. Great job today Marley! The Scoop: 3 pees, 1 poop. Runner: Ryan

Today’s run with Marley was by far the chilliest so far so we wasted no time getting out the door. We started off slow and Marley got to get his sniffs in early. We were getting bombarded by the cold wind so we ducked into the neighbourhood paths to explore and escape the cold. Marley and I snapped a few photos while on the paths and after visiting the little playground tucked away, we made our way back over to the main road where we continued on. I think Marley got a little tired or bored when we got back to the road because he laid down right on the sidewalk and didn’t budge. I was able to convince him to keep running a little further and he was very cooperative. We weaved our way back through the neighbourhood to where we started. The wind wasn’t nearly as bad as when we started so the trek home was very nice. Marley's ears flopped up and down as we ran home. Thanks Marley for turning a cold morning into a very fun run. See you next time buddy! The Scoop: 1 poop, 4 pees. Runner: Mason DGR RUN OF THE DAY

I guess I'm just as tired as Marley today! Marley and I enjoyed a gorgeous morning run today. We both seemed ready to take on the morning! Marley started off a little slow though so we decided to take an entirely new route today to change things up for Marley and me. Marley was feeling less motivated today too and was laying on the comfortable path quite a bit, to avoid sleeping instead of walking I took us down a path that went behind some houses. Quite a few dogs were back there and said “hello” to Marley and me. We emerged from the paths on the other side of the road from where we usually walk. Marley made even more friends over here! We weaved back in through the paths to try and convince Marley to come exploring with me but I guess its just one of those days! I feel you Marley, I’m a bit tired today too. We started walking back and I bribed Marley with some treats to come a little extra further with me! Despite the shorter distance, we still managed to have a very eventful walk. We saw two rabbits grazing on someone's lawn. On our way back, we also got to say “hi” to lots of the neighbourhood dogs. Marley and I managed to get some great photographs on the way too. Thanks Marley for spending such a beautiful morning with me. Maybe next time you’ll be feeling more energetic and we can get some distance in! The Scoop: 1 poop, 3 pees.

Its a great day for a run and I couldn’t have picked better company than Marley! Right after getting started, we ran into two dogs playing nearby, Marley really wanted to join in. We reversed our usual route today and started off running next to Glenmore. We ended up on the path where we took some stunning photos of Marley. I got a great view of the rowers on the reservoir. We took a few short breaks along the benches to look out at that fantastic view. Marley and I played around with a stick for a while to burn some extra energy! Marley gave me the signal that he was ready to turn around so we did. We had a very leisurely jog back and got to watch the satisfying lawn mowers on the golf course. Gotta love that freshly cut grass smell. I always wonder what it smells like for Marley. By the time we got closer, we still had time to kill so we jogged around the neighbourhood some more before Marley gave another signal that he was tired and wanted to go back. We took one last photo for the run and then headed home! Thanks for such an awesome run today Marley, I wouldn’t have picked anyone else to share those views with me today. See you next time buddy!

A slightly more chilly walk for Marley and me today, Summer is definitely coming to a close. But I am very glad to be out and running with Marley before it's too cold. After a little play in the grass, I urged us to head on towards the path. Marley was chugging along today, I guess he was really excited to go today! Me too, Marley. We just had to check out the view of the reservoir today and take a few pics before moving on. The weather started to warm up a bit as we went which was a pleasant surprise. Hearing that train whistle while we took photos on the ridge was very cool and really set the atmosphere. It's always such a gorgeous walk along the reservoir with Marley. Instead of completing the loop like we usually do, we turned back along the path to enjoy those views once more on the way home. As soon as we reached the path along the road, the sky opened up revealing a cloud-filled blue sky. It always turns out to be a terrific day when I am with Marley! After the length of the golf course, we kept on going along the path a little ways up the electrical lines. After a little “hello" to a squirrel on the sidewalk we made it back home. It was a great end to a great walk. Thanks for enjoying it with me Marley! See you next time. The Scoop: 2 poops, 5 pees. Runner: Mason DGR RUN OF THE DAY

A little chilly outside for Marley's run today! However, I definitely don’t mind staying a little cooler! It was great to see Marley after my week off and get out for a run with this sweetie! To start off, we did our classic route over the distance of the golf course. There were not as many golfers today but still a few to spectate as we went. The views of the reservoir were very nice today even despite the weather so Marley and I stopped for some pics. Marley sniffed up a storm up the path before we went to loop back. We didn’t go this far down the path as the last time I was with Marley. He showed me a very cool spot right off the water. After snapping a cute pic of Marley there, we jogged up the hill and back to the paths. Afterwards, we crossed the road and over to the larger section of park where we could more freely run around. We circled around the ponds and back over to the golf course. While running along the paths, Marley got another one of his daily compliments, he was called a beautiful dog by two separate people! Wow Marley! He just keeps getting more popular! We saw a bunch of school kids biking towards us and Marley got quite a few excited looks. The Marley Fan Club grows even larger! Today's run was surprisingly gorgeous and it was a ton of fun to see and run with Marley once again. See you next time buddy! The Scoop: 2 poops, 5 pees.

Our adventure today was fairly calm. We had a nice little breeze with lots of sun and there weren’t many people out yet. As we continued on, we saw more people and Marley made lots of doggy friends. When turning around, our path took us to the Aspen Trail but I was a little hesitant on going in since recently some dogs were attacked by a porcupine. Marley and I picked the shortest way through and finished the walk with a nice stroll through the neighbourhood. Although our walk wasn’t very eventful, it was a joy to spend my morning with Marley by taking a stroll. The Scoop: 1 poop, lots of pees. Runner: Eli DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Marley and I had a gorgeous walk this morning. After giving this cutie some scratches at the door, we jogged off towards the golf course. It always looks so scenic this time of day! After the length of the golf course, we kept following the river instead of going the full circle like usual. Marley and I wanted to change it up today. I am glad we did because the water looked beautiful even with the haze. I'm sure Marley would love to jump in! While walking, we even saw a Bald Eagle flying overhead! After that sighting and a little more jogging, we turned back around to head home. The views of the reservoir never get old! On the way back, a bunch of little kids biking were mesmerized by Marley and were complimenting what a cute dog he is! Marley has got a fan club now! Marley also wanted to go help a kid who got hurt on their bike. He is such a sweetheart going over and offering kisses. Along the golf course on the way back, the golden sunlight was shining off Marleys golden fur. It is always so pretty! I got some great photos of Marley today, thanks to his posing abilities. Today was such a blast and it was also an absolutely gorgeous walk. Thanks for sharing it with me Marley! I’ll see you next time! The Scoop: 6 pees, 2 poops. Runner:Mason DGR RUN OF THE DAY

It has been a while since I ran with Marley! But the fun was worth the wait. We started off going left up the power-lines and Marley did need a little persuasion to get him going. We said "hi" to a Wolfhound and went on our way towards the reservoir. This time I wanted to try our usual route but backwards. We said "hi" to the construction workers on our way and ran along Glenmore down to the reservoir. We said "hi" to lots of people and their dogs as we ran down the path. We had some great views of everyone rafting on the reservoir. The water looked like glass for a while. It was tempting to stop even more and take photos but I think we took enough! Marley is always so cooperative with taking them and is always striking a cute pose or smile. We wasted no time on the homestretch and jogged the rest of the golf course path together. The smell of the freshly cut grass of the golf course was a great way to finish this run with Marley. I wonder how good it smells for him! It was great seeing Marley again and I hope this golden boy had a good nap when he arrived back home. The Scoop: 1 poo, 7 pees. Runner: Mason |
