DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
  DISTANCE: 5.3 km DURATION: 1 hour 27 minutes The gang is back together again. We had sunshine steps at Nosehill with Patti Cakes, Silly Sully, Momma Marley and Aoife. This pack is starting to get a ‘following’ on the hill. One of the regulars we meet on our walks was so pleased with our pack's magic. One of her dogs can be nervous. When he saw our pack, his tail started to wag and he had the best-relaxed energy. All the pup's tails wagged. I am one very happy dog owner and one very proud DGR dog runner with my All-Stars with paws.🐾 I learnt after taking Patti home that she is not eating that much, which explained her lower energy. I hope you devour your lunch this afternoon sweetheart. The Doggy Business Report: Patti had 2 poops, Sully had 1 poop. Marley had a few pees as did the other pups. Runner: Michelle

Sully, Huxley and I ran over and met Henry, Noah (our nephew visiting from the UK) Ennis, Marley B., and Aoife at the Tuscany off-leash area. The happy faces when everyone united were electric. We had two mountain bikers call us the ‘Happy Gang’. When these canine friends get together they make sure fun is that be had🐾. The Doggy Business Report: Huxley had 1 poop and many pees.

Today’s special guest to join the Irish Sisters is........Miss Marley. Our family calls Marley, ‘Aoife’s big sister.’ There is a strong sisterhood in today's walk. We had a later start because to our surprise the John Laurier entrance was closed. No worries girls, we are determined to have an ‘all off-leash’ day. Success on all accounts. Miss Marley and Miss Patti are now sisters too. They got on smashingly. The Doggy Business: Marley had 1 poop and a couple of pees. Patti Cakes had 1 poop and 3 pees. Runner: Michelle   ,Our other doggy daughter came for a little visit, Miss Marley. There was excitement from the get-go. We all (including Henry and Aoife) piled into the Jeep and headed to Nosehill with DGR Patti too. Marley loved being in the doggy girls' pack. It was rather cute when Aoife and Patti started to wrestle and chase each other, Momma Marley had to referee. She would bark at them and try to get in the middle of them. As you can see from the photo, Marley was teaching Patti that Henry is an easy touch when it comes to treats. After such an exciting time at Nosehill, it was time to have a snooze on the couch. Then it was time to do a beat-down on the stuffed dog toy called ‘Big Daddy Gator’. Look at the love and destruction Marley has in her eyes. We love Miss M.
Pet Sitter: Michelle   Miss Momma Marley is back ‘In the House’ with us!! We love having Marley come and stay with us. She is very comfortable and she and Aoife get on great. Marley walks in the front door, gets a treat (or two) and then ’takes court’. She love the postrampedic dog bed we have in the front room and she can survey all the comings and goings on this oversized bed. It would take about four of her to fill the bed. On that note, only Marley gets that bed. The "Queen of the House gets the King-sized dog bed. When Marley needed some peace and quiet from all the ‘young rowdy ones’, you would find her hanging out in Aoife’s crate in the office. I completely understand. Sometimes I would go to the office, and spend time with Marley for some peace and quiet too. Lots of social interaction this visit. I know that your home will be much quieter so you can catch up on some senior's snoozing. Xo Xo!

Happy Happy Pups🤣. The old gang (Huxley, Miss Marley and Sully) are reunited and they let a newer friend, Mikki, join in on today's adventure. On our way to the off-leash area, we needed to walk to the on-leash area. This pack took the whole width of the sidewalk. Miss Marley and my Mikka had Henry as their leash master. I took Huxley, Sully and Aoife. There was some fancy footwork on the human side. The dogs HAD TO walk side-by-side.🤣 Keeping the humans agile and on our toes.🐾The Doggy Business Report: Huxley had 2 poops and many pees. Sully had 2 poop and many pees. Marley had 2 poops and 3 pees. Mikki had a couple pees. Runner: Michelle 
Puppy Sleepover! Miss M. spent the night at our house and had a visit with her kindred soulmate Ennis and silly sister Aoife. Just like humans (young or old,), we all get excited now that we can spend time with our friends and family. Friday night there were movies, snacks and lots of cuddles. Saturday morning was playtime, breakfast on the patio, zoomies with the bunny and a big walk. After those hill climbs , an afternoon nap was in order. Marley likes to tease Aoife and take the stuffed toy (Big Daddy Gator) and squeak and play with it. You little trickster!! Miss Marley, you come around real soon. Okay?️

 We had the pleasure of our ‘other fur babe’ spending some time with us. Miss Marley graced us all with her presence over the past few days. We like to think of our home, as Marley’s away from home, home. This visit was all about her friends. Her social calendar was very full with her DGR buddy Ennis that stayed a couple nights while Marley was with us. A few extra special playdates added with DGR Mikki, Huxley and Sully. Of course, the regular fixtures of our home, are extra happy to have Marley time. Alcott our AARCS foster bunny is in love with Miss M! He tries to nuzzle up to her and play with her paws. He also chases her around the house. Marley is so good with him, even when he gets annoying. Sort of like when Aoife (resident pup) was little, hey Marley? Of course, there is no stopping Marley & Aoife from swapping beds and sharing their couch time. Just like sisters. Rest and recoup Miss Marley, we miss you already.

The Puppy Party Pack is back! It seems like forever since this gang has gotten ‘wild’ together. First on the party bus was Sully. Hey buddy, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your feline family member, Mr. Bigglesworth. Today's friends will help you smile. Second stop was Huxley!! These Boyzz could hardly contain their excitement. Huxley has been on a holiday and the time seemed like forever to both does. As we ran over to the newly renovated Tuscany Dog Park, who was waiting for us? Henry brought Marley and Aoife. Now we have a party!! Needless to say, I had the happiest pack in all of Calgary. The Doggy Business Report: many many pees for all the dogs. The only pups that pooped were Sully with 1 poop and Huxley with 2 poops. Runner: Michelle   When I received the last minute text asking if Miss Marley could stay for a few days, I was not going to turn that opportunity down. Hello Miss M, it has been so long, well it sure seems that way. I have to tell you, it is going to be busy busy at our house for a portion of your stay. No problem for this young gal. She takes it all in stride. Momma Marley walks in the door and first up is little Andy (our AARCS Foster pup). Right on schedule, Miss M put on her Momma hat. It was also a blessing to have Marley at our home because when Andy went to his forever home, a few days later, our Aoife (resident dog) really needed some sisterly attention. Alcott the bunny (AARCS Foster) introduced himself with a sniff and little kiss to Marley. Well, well, I can see Marley has lots of bunny experience. Not even a flinch from M, just a sniff and a ‘Howdy’. There was one time when Alcott was in his crazy mood and wanted to sit on Marley’s back that she was — listen buddy (or bunny) I am your elder, control yourself. 🤣 Thank Goodness Marley could commiserate with her double Ennis who was also staying with us for a couple days. We Mature Canines, must stick together. A wet and wild puppy party with her BFF Huxley and Boyfriend Sully. A new addition to this developing pack, is DGR Mikki. Mikki took a real shine to Marley’s doggy confidence and enjoyed hanging out with her. Today was our last day of lots of friends. Marley & Aoife had time to cuddle and get a few extra naps in. See you in a couple of weeks Miss M for more adventures and excitement. Pet Sitter: Michelle

 DISTANCE: 7.3 km DURATION: 1 hour 39 minutes PUPPY PARTY 🎉 The sun is shining and it is almost the weekend, it is Puppy Party Time.🐾 The pickup rotation started with Huxley, then Marley. Huxley knew he was getting one friend but not 2 - yippee. (Actually 3 friends but we will get to that)😊. Then it was Sully's turn next. Sully bumped Huxley out of the middle seat because HE wanted to sit beside Marley. The last pick-up was Aoife. The Fur Kids were super excited to all be together. Henry chauffeured the ‘Princesses’ over to meet the Blonde Boyzz at the hill. Snack time and some water slobbers.🤪 A great way to start the weekend. The Doggy Business Report: Huxley had 2 poops and oodles of pees. Sullivan had just oodles of pees. Miss M had 1 poop and a few pees. Runner: Michelle  DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Just you and me today Miss M. No, this is not an April Fool's Day Prank. It has been a long time since it was just us girls spending time together. A little birdie sent me a text giving me the heads up you were a bit pokey today. No worries my friend, ‘Stroll Mode’ is good for the soul. It was rather wet at Griffith Woods today but that made for less traffic on the pathway. This made Marley & my time together even more magical. Lots of sniff breaks to enjoy the unearthed delights with the + 10 degrees. Hope you and your family have a great Easter. May your Easter basket be filled with all your favourite treats. The Doggy Business Report: 1 poop, a few pees. Runner: Michelle 
 Guess What Marley?? Your Mom has arranged a surprise for you!! Not only are you going to see your friend Ennis plus your BFF (Huxley) and your Sister (our Aoife) on top of all that your young Boyfriend Sully is coming out to!! The cherry on top of all these special guests and after the dog park adventures is…… you are having a sleepover at our house. Hip-Hip Hurray. We love when Marley come she is just like our second furry family member. Marley was on top of her game and she kept tabs on all the 5 doggies that where staying over night last night. It cracked me up, when I was having my bath because Marley was peering over at me from the side while Sully was staring my down from the end of the tub. I was really getting the message that it possibly could be dinner time. 🤣🤣🤣 Today, we had one last hurrah at Nosehill and then it was time to bring our party and sleepover to an end. See you later next week Miss M.

Just like Cuba’s Bueno Vista Social Club, this ‘Doggy Social Club’ showed off some fun dance moves. Their happy vibe was infectious and the sunshine made us believe we could have been in Cuba. Mucho Mucho energy and excitement. These friends love getting together. Today’s lineup starred Miss Marley B, Enny Binny, Sir Silly Sully, Romeo (Huxley) and the Kid (Aoife). All with different styles but they caught everyone's eye. 🐾The Doggy Business Report: the pee department was successful for all. Only Huxley & Ennis had 1 poop each.

Brrrrr.....then a nope I am staying with Mom. That was Marley’s first reaction when she got out. Yes, it is chilly and I don't blame you. I would like to hang out with your Mom too! A few treats and then realizing Huxley was waiting made the day all worthwhile to get a little excessive in. We did two loops so that we had easy access to the main trail back to the vehicle. Fun was had for all but it is time for a nap & snacks. The Doggy Business Report: several pees for both pups. Only Hux Pup pooped. Runner: Michelle |
