DGR RUN OF THE DAY # 1 
 DISTANCE: 6.1 km DURATION: 1 hour 7 minutes
"F" is for Family Fridays. Today I picked up my friend Marley and off we went to the dog park. So much unpacked snow. Marley was in heaven; jumping and hopping around, taking me deeper and deeper into the untamped areas. For someone with little legs like me, it was quite the workout! We got to the Glenmore Park and Marley indicated he wanted to show me something new so down the hill we went and over the bridge to the very beautiful, undistrubed narrow pathways by Weaselhead Flats. We shared some beautiful moments today; side-by-side pacing, exploring, Marley planking in crisp, clean snow and staring up at the bright sun. On the way home, we met his family; Molson, Ryder et al. I, of course, didn't know who these pups were but Marley's excitement and sudden rush toward these dogs and their rush toward him was adorable. They played together a little while and then we headed back home. It was a great morning with a very pleasant boy. See you next week, Mr Marley. The Scoop: 8 pees, 3 poops.

Mushy Mr. Marley makes morning meet-ups marvelous! I picked up my friend and off we went to the dog park. Marley met up with the little black dog with the big stick from the other week today and they goofed around together for a little while before we continued en route to Glenmore Park. Marley wanted to go the opposite direction than we usually go so off we went down the big hill toward the bridge that offered such relaxing and peaceful views. He laid down in the sun for a few and pushed himself against me. He was leaning with me proudly supporting him; taking in the beauty right along with him. His smile could take me down. On our way back, I noticed that someone placed bird houses randomly amongst the trees and thought it was sweet enough to capture it in a pic. Marley's sniffer was working just fine; taking in all the smells and, of course, partaking in his usual stop, drop, roll maneuver. You're just such a good boy, my friend. The Scoop: 2 little poops, and I think 11 pees. Runner: Cheryl DGR RUN OF THE DAY # 1

Another chapter complete in the book of running with Mr. Marley. To recap: We started out at the off-leash dog park and it was loaded with furry friends for Marley to sniff and play with. He was leaping, jumping and playing with me. Oh, my heart! As he is still new to me, I had him on the waist leash and wherever he went, I went. All the people had a good time watching all the action. It was a really special moment and I'm smiling just remembering it and typing it here. You'll see a pic of a little dog with an over-sized stick. This was incredibly amusing and it set me on a mission to provide my friend with a stick of his own. We managed to get to the Glenmore Trail and it was a wonderful day to just be out and exploring, exercising, and enjoying each other's company. As we started our route back home, I found Marley a solid stick which he took to with glee. The left half was in his mouth and the right half had enough room for my hand. Super sweet. The minute I let go, he took off like a rocket. It was like he got a Power-Up, with me trying to keep up! Wow! If I could maintain a pace like that I would win a race or two! Guess I need to find my own stick. 😄 Thanks Marley for another adventure packed with laughter, kindness, sweet gestures, fun and peace. The scoop: 1 poop, 5 pees. Runner: Cheryl DGR RUN OF THE DAY

With both Marley and Molson's regular runners away, I get the pleasure of some time with my favourite Lakeview's finest Goldens (Marley and Molson). There were so few dogs and walkers out that I felt comfortable talking to Molson and Marley and even singing in the rain. We weaved our way in and out of pathways behind Lakeview homes and did a lot of puddle jumping. I picked up Marley first and then we made our way to Molson's where I got to meet his baby brother Ryder for the first time. Holy Cuteness Overload! My stay was short as Marley was not as enthusiastic about Ryder's attention. We kept it at a fast walk for Molson who set the pace. Both boys were a dream to spend time so the rain was not a bother at all. I returned Marley home first and then made my way back to Molson's for some extra puppy time and to towel down Molson who loved the extra attention. It was also nice to see Golden Sasha who was chilling under the counter stool. This is definitely Golden Retriever Road (see photo). The Scoop: Molson had 2 poos, 4 pees. Marley had 1 poo, 3 pees.

It was a beautiful day in the neighbourhood for a little prance through the hills and valleys! Marley was happy and enjoyed a few good rolls and plays! The Scoop: 2 pees, 1 poo. Runner: Niki 
 DISTANCE: 5.9 km . DURATION: 59 minutes
It was a fun walk with Marley today! I brought Skoki along, who is an energy bundle and definitely a motivator for Marley. Skoki showed Marley his fave river spot! The Scoop: 2 pees, 1 poo. Runner: Niki 
 DISTANCE: 5.1 km DURATION: 59 minutes
Hurray, Marley and I just beat the downpour. When I arrived Marley was in the backyard so I got to have a visit with his dad and admire the clematis. We then headed wherever Marley wanted to go to keep him moving along which he did except when he had 2 rolls in the wet grass. He had some liver snaps to motivate him as well as some “Good Boy” encouragement. We saw a few dogs and some nice gardens but I think Marley and his garden were heads above the rest. Thanks to his mom for the donations to AARCS. The Scoop: 8 pees, 2 poos. Runner: Ruth
 DISTANCE: 4.15 km DURATION: 57:53
What a perfect day for an adventure! Cooler than it has been so we set off at a good pace to explore the winding trails of Lakeview. Marley thought it was lots of fun, and enjoyed following along and sometimes even being the fearless leader! Enjoy your nap now Marley! Business Report: 4 pees, 2 poops. Runner; Niki    DISTANCE: 2.29 km DURATION: 55:47
It was a lazy kind of Friday morning today! The sun was out, and he was truly enjoying smelling (and rolling in!) the roses. He wasn’t quite feeling the run this morning, so we took a meander around the neighbourhood and met some new friends (including a 3 legged dog!). Enjoy your long weekend in the sun Marley! Business Report: 2 poops, 8 pees. Runner: Niki    DISTANCE: 6.44 km DURATION: 1:01:59
Marley and I had a busy day in the dog park as we met up with a whole pack of dogs who were out enjoying the morning. From a big Black Lab X to little miniature guys - everyone was happy to see Marley. It was hot so we stayed in the shade as much as we could. That keep both of us motivated and cool. One poo and 4 pees. Runner: Bob

Good morning Marley. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m so glad it worked out for me to run you today. I think you were surprised not to see your usual runner Gabi. I love exploring new neighbourhoods and yours is a beautiful one. We set off west and you weren’t very keen to get running right away. We did a lot of sniffing and dilly-dallying until we bumped into RUTH from DGR and a bunch of dogs that you know!!! That was fun! After that we headed into Glenmore Park and ran along the reservoir. I gave you lots of opportunities to sniff everything and we kept our pace nice and slow. You seem to know the way back home better than I did as we zigged and zagged through the neighbourhood looking for a secret path way to get home. I think you were pretty happy when we arrived! Have a great nap this afternoon Marley! Marley's Scoop: 1 poop, 6 pees. Runner: Nancy    DISTANCE: 6.37 km DURATION: 1:01:15
Marley was a hot boy this morning. We enjoyed the sunshine and did a loop down the dog park where we met up with four happy dogs who stopped to visit with Marley. A little introduction to the owner who thought Marley was a very good looking guy. One poo and many pees. Runner: Bob
 DISTANCE: 6.89 DURATION: 1:01:20 It was a perfect day for a run with my friend Marley as it was overcast and cool. These are perfect conditions for a big guy to be out and about. There were lots of other dogs out today. We had a visit with a pair of Poodles followed by a couple of Black Labs who were also enjoying the wet and cool day. One poo and many pees. Runner: Bob 
 DISTANCE: 8.30 km DURATION: 1:30:51
Good Morning Big M - I was looking for you in the window. Oh, there you are. All ready to go, and waiting outside adding little squeaks of delight. You must know it is the Friday to kick off Canada Day long weekend. To celebrate, let's head over to Doggy Playground (aka River Park). Marley put his speedy gear into motion when he heard 'Off-leash'. Everyone loves Marley! He plays with young, old, big, and small. He does fantastic at the off-leash. On the way home, we met up with lots of people & pooches that wanted to visit. What do you think Marley? Can we start the Long Weekend Mode early?😂 Let's just say our return home portion was not in a 'speedy gear'. The Doggy Business Report: 1 healthy poop and about 7 pees. Runner: Michelle |
