DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE: 4.3 km DURATION: 1 hour 34 minutes
Happy 1st Birthday Lola‼️ It was another DGR Doggy Party. Lola’s party was held at the Tuscany off-leash area. I had human reinforcement join because there were lots of party-goers. Momma Marley came out. In addition, there was Hux Pup, Oliver The Great, and Aoife who attended her first Puppy Birthday Party. Lots of fun had and tongues wagging. Mother Nature provided some deer snacks along the way BUT they are not on Michelle's approved list.🤪 So extra liver treats given instead. There was also a surprise special guest!! We met up with Dixie, the long-eared Hound that Huxley, Aoife, and I rescued after being attacked before Christmas. Dixie remembered me and I received a big hug and kiss. Huxley & Aoife also remembered her. I am so happy to report Dixie is in fine form. This was one great day. All dogs pooped and had many, many pees. Siesta time🤣! Runner: Michelle

DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1 
 DISTANCE: 3.1 km DURATION: 54 minutes
Okay!! The New Year has officially started NOW!! Miss M & Hux Pup are reunited for their first BBF walk of 2020. Nothing as silly as cold weather was going to stop these two from having fun. There was chasing, scurrying about, and ’bundles’ of stick chewing. I believe the proper term for packing tree branches together is bundling?¿ Haha🤣. Miss M was the chainsaw today. Chomp Chomp on all the sticks. She would try and get all playful so Hux would drop his stick. Always such a fun time with these two. We are all back to a good routine that is full of Thursday M & H Shenanigans. Marley and I both think Huxley looks dashing in his boots and winter coat. The Scoop: 13 pees, 1 poo.

Winter is just as much fun for Marley & Huxley as summer. I would not have thought these two could get any happier. To start off, these two love each other's company. The snow brings out Marley’s stamina and she can really keep up running with Huxley, and enjoying great adventures and smells. Huxley has a PSA for today, ” If the water is not frozen - make sure you go for a dip!!” Marley was not buying any of that nonsense 🤣. Also, I caught her a couple of times giving Huxley the ’I told you so!’ look. This would happen each time Huxley had to get snowball (ice-balls) from out of his wet feet. It was a beautiful day in the neighbourhood. The Scoop: 8 pees, 4 poos. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY # 1

Miss Marley, we are soooo thankful to see you. Huxley and I have had an eventful morning and are in need of some outdoor doggy therapy. Nothing like the peace & serenity of these two awesome dogs to make a day better. Before Huxley & I got to Marley’s we rescued a poor frightened and injured dog and took her to the emergency vets. Thank goodness for services like YYC and all the dog-loving community. Dixie is undergoing surgery. Our prayers are with her family🙏 The Scoop: 2 poos, 3 pees. Runner: Michelle
We had the pleasure of Marley staying with us for these past 10 days. What adventures everyone had. Marley’s social calendar was FULL!! This gal is one popular pooch. Since Marley’s stay started the night before Halloween, she had to try out her witch costume. Marley, Aoife and Stella greeted all the kids at the door that night. The first words everyone said “ Aww, I like your dogs.” My reply, “they are great” . Marley’s calendar was full of trail walks and visits with new and old friends. Marely and her BFF Huxley (DGR dog) had several adventures together. Ennis (another DGR dog) went on a few walks and these two were fantatsic together. Thank goodness for the white tip on Marley’s tail because at first glance these two are hard to tell apart. Aoife and Marley had daily play & cuddle time. Lola arrived this past Thursday and just loves her ‘Momma Marley’. Lola tried to get Marley to play with her by taking over Marley’s bed. Momma Marley knew this was just puppy antics, and let her stay in it as long as she wanted. In return, Marley chose to take over Mikka’s (DGR dog) bed when she arrived for ‘Girls Night’ on Friday. Marley, our home feels empty and the girls are missing you. XO!

It was a ’Spooktacular Pooch Party’ this morning Trick or Treating in Tuscany!!! Ennis, Marley and Huxley bolted out of the jeep - let's get this Halloween Party started 🤣. We started our festivities early!! They all had so much fun together it was like they were kids on a sugar high. This ’pack’ is one cool group. That was spectacular! Let's make another date soon. Ennis, Marley and Hux will rest up this afternoon and be ready to Halloween full on tonight. The Scoop: 3 poos, 13 pees. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY

I see you, Marley. You are a very happy doggy suntanning in the window. Today my love, it is just you and me. Your Bestie is spending this week on the farm. It is always extra special having one-on-one time with the dogs you take out. Miss Marley, you and I have walked several kilometres together and with each step, I am very thankful for our Thursday Time.🙏. Marley and I discussed that today might be a great day for a change in our walk location. Nothing like a fun walk in the sun on the berm of Elbow Valley and add on the pond loop. Thought we may run into DGR Runner Fab and the Porties. I think we were either too late or too early. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving Marley and her family. The Scoop: 3 pees, 1 poo. Runner: Michelle Marley, I hope you packed your running shoes for this pet sit!! You are going to have so much fun and lots of activities. Marley came to stay on Wednesday, as did DGR’s Famous Lab brothers Kenny & Sully. Marley & Sully get on so well. There was a doggy party happening all the time at our house. Marley let Sully stay and sleep on the bed with her. These two really like each other. We had several playdates and runs up at Nosehill. Marley helped introduce Nosehill to Aoife for her first inaugural visit. Momma Marley also monitored all the pups playtime. Too rough, too wild, too noisy……..Momma Marley to the rescue. Marley shared her Thursday BFF run with DGR Huxley and invited Sully to join in. Now that is true friendship Nap time and ‘quiet’ time was rewarded on the couch to whomever Marley felt behaved the best. The winner, could sleep on the couch with her. I must sadly report, I never got to spend an afternoon nap on the couch. Night-time was different, Marley shared the bed with Sully and I. I felt I better keep an eye on these two. A very action-packed week for Marley, just like her humans had. I forecast a lazy day tomorrow for Marly. A very well deserved R & R day. See you Thursday for another adventure sweetheart.

 Wherever Kenny & Sully are, you know there will be fun going on. These two Labs are the life of the party and the household. We were so excited to have them back for a longer visit this time. As it fortunately happened, Marley B. was also staying during the same time period. Sully and Marley really like each other. Even though there is an age difference, they will always be found on their walks side-by-side. At night-time, it was Sully and Marley that slept on the bed with me. I caught them a couple of times with their paws touching side by side. Wish I could have taken a photo of that. Morning time was always Kenny & Aoife's playtime outside. Kenny got the hi jinx and pounced around and Aoife thought this was great. On Thursday, Marley & Sully had the pleasure of DGR Dog Huxley joining in on their Nosehill trip. Lots and lots of fun that day. Kenny loved his morning stroll in our off-leash park when it was just him and Aoife. Our evening walks consisted of the whole pack. On Saturday, Kenny and Marley partook in Aoife’s first adventure to Nosehill. I must say Aoife was all tuckered out when we got to the car. Maybe stimulation overload. Not even Kenny could get her to play until she had a long nap. By the end of the day, Sully was the only one up for keeping up with our pup. Sully would instantly drop and plop over with the toy in his mouth and show Aoife his belly. I do not think there was a toy in the toy box that these two did not play with. It was a great time having the ‘gang’ all here.

Henry, Aoife and I were very excited to have Marley come on Wednesday morning and have a sleepover at our house. We all have one complaint……..it was not long enough!!! It was like a little tease. Aoife was so excited to have her 'Momma Marley’ back. These two played like crazy yesterday. Marley’s Mom & Dad hold a very special place in Aoife’s heart, so she got over-excited to see them as well as Marley at the front door. Marley was so good with Aoife, because like a pesky little sibling, Aoife had to have EVERYTHING that was Marleys. Marley’s bed was extra special and coveted by our young pup. Momma Marley, seemed okay to have the love seat in the living room and retired back to her own bed, when that ‘young one’ finally went to her crate. Today was a walk with Marley’s BFF Huxley over to Nosehill. Marley scampers around for the first 10 minutes when she has her leash off. Who is the pup now?! The time just went by too fast, and I was taking you home. I knew you will enjoy your bed. You sat in it the whole way home. Marley you are such a great gal. Pet Sitter: Michele

Momma Marley😊, that greeting is a little hint of what is in store for today's walk. Hux Pup is on holidays with his humans, but don't be disappointed. DGR Little Lola is waiting in the Jeep. She is a few months older and ready to play🐾. This is a perfect day for even more change!! Off to Baker Park for a fun river walk. These two poochies do so well together. Sort of like Big Sister and Baby Sis. The way they look at each other just melts my heart. You two have a sleepover booked at my house later in September. A great ”Girl Friends” Day. The Scoop: 3 pees, 1 poo. Runner: Michelle  That was one ‘Doggy Filled Extended Weekend”, hey Marley? Marley spent some time with Aunty Michelle & Uncle Henry and the new addition for an extended weekend. Marley had to put her “Momma Marley” cap on, because Aoife loved her. No problem, Marley was the perfect doggy parental figure to educate young Aoife in the ways of proper puppy behaviour. When Marley was not parenting, she was out to Nosehill with her Bestie Huxley and then her newest partner, DGR Sully. Then, there was the doggy sleepover at our house on Friday night. Marley, Kenny & Sully and Aoife. I think Marley will have a couple of just R & R days, now that she is back home. See you Thursday sweetheart. Pet Sitter: Michelle

I'm so excited, I just can't hide it🎵It is Kenny & Sully time. PLUS these two brothers get a sleepover. I picked them up first, before their walks so we could check out Nosehill for some NW variety. I also had a special treat for Sully. DGR Marley joined us on our walk. These two did smashingly together. There may be an age difference, and of course, Marley is a girl and Sully a boy🐾. Their speed and pace were very compatible. As were their personalities. Sully was a true gentleman. Kenny is at home resting up for his stroll after we are finished with the these kids😊.

It was another ’Thursday Bestie’s Outing.’ except with a twist!! The first pick up was Miss Marley, who met Aoife for the first time. The next pick up was Huxley, who was so happy Marley was already in the Jeep. He also gave Aoife a quick ”Hi”. Finally, Nosehill. It was worth the wait, right!! A quick game of chase, of course swimming time, and then on to all the great smells. We met up with a pack (about 9 X our size) with only one leader/walker. Huxley, Marley, and I discussed how we much prefer our smaller pack. The Scoop: 3 pees. Runner: Michelle  
 DISTANCE: 5.3 km DURATION: 1 hour 14 minutes
Hip Hip Hurray!! The Thursday Besties are reunited. Huxley just knew that today was the day. He patiently waited ’in Marley’s’ seat for her to jump in. The kids were so happy to hit ”THEIR PLAYGROUND”.🤣 . The Scoop: 8 pees, 1 poo. Runner: Michelle |
