​PEACEFUL🙏That is how Marley & Huxley’s walk was this afternoon. The temperature was +24/25• and Miss M took a dip in every available water spot. You gotta love Marley’s approach. Enter the water gracefully and then plop, sits in the water and smile. Huxley goes exploring every time and comes running back with a big smile. I know he is sharing what he saw. We stroll along with no noise, no vehicles and just enjoy nature and each other. I will pick you guys up next week. ️The Doggy Business Report: multiple pees for each pooch. Both Marley & Huxley had 1 poop each.

M. H. & M. are enjoying the end of summer and the perfect temperatures. Today at Griffith Woods it was like it was still summer. It was really busy. People, kids, dogs, cyclists and bird watchers were all out. No one was enjoying the water ‼️ Marley and Huxley could not figure this out. ”Look how refreshing the water is🐾.” I guess we humans become real wimps when the temperature drops below +30. 🤣 The Doggy Business Report: several peeps for both pups. Miss Marley had 1 poop.

I'm Back!! Miss Marley - our Thursdays are getting back to normal. Hux Pup is having some tummy troubles today, so it is just you & me. Our Thursday Universe has truly missed you. I understand you have faithfully been keeping up with your exercise. I made sure to put my ’super fast’ walking sneakers on. Marley was willing to take one for the team and make sure Huxley’s treats did not go to waste. Haha Miss M, don't you ever change. The Doggy Business Report: several pees and a healthy poop.

This gang has not been together since January. Without missing a beat, Lola saw Oliver in the parking lot and knew it was him right away. Aoife and Oliver had been playing hard the hour before so now everyone was on the same energy level. Lola & Marley always walk together while Oliver & Aoife chased each other at Nosehill. After that heat, it was time to leave and reward ourselves with ice-cold water, dried liver treats and a Starbucks. I will let you all figure out who had what🤣. It was a ’Poop-Free’ Sunday. The Doggy Business Report: Lola had 2 pees, Marley had several and Oliver lots.

Wowza!! That is some humidity. It zapped the ’zip’ out of my fur friends today. I have always been a matchmaker. My family shudders when I do this. Hux Pup, Aoife and myself came upon a lady walking two identical dogs. This was on our way to meet Marley. I stopped, the lady stopped and all 4 dogs just stopped and stared at each other. This lady's two dogs look exactly like what Hux & Aoife’s puppies would look like. This lady said she was thinking the exact thing. Then after that little deja-vu, we came upon a cat running with his/her human. Huxley do you think Oskar & Pinky would like to join us? (Note Oskar & Pinkie are the felines in Huxley’s family). After all the excitement, we hit the parking lot and did a quick sniff while waiting for Marley to arrive. Marley jumped out of Henry’s truck with such a smile on her face. Aoife went running up to her because it had been 40 minutes since she last saw her. An absolute eternity! I have to label our coulee visit more of a saunter. Lots of water breaks and not much speed. The Fun & Happiness Meter was reading pretty high🤩. Humidity will not dampen these dogs’ spirits. The Doggy Business Report: Huxley had 1 poop and 16 pees. Marley had 5 pees an 1 poop.

​Since Miss Marley is staying at my home for a couple of days, she just had to get a Tuesday Huxley Fix. These two are like Salt & Pepper. They just are a pair. We headed to a new area in Nosehill and the wild roses are out in full bloom. Both Marley & Huxley like to walk amongst these bushes. I guess Marley did not get enough Hux Pup time because when I dropped Huxley off at his home, she jumped out too. Marley went up to the front door. Sorry sweetheart, back to my place🤣. The Doggy Business Report: both pups had 1 poop each and a few pees each.

Girl Girl Girl Time. Nothing like spending a Saturday with your girlfriends. Lola, Marley and Aoife went on a workout at Nosehill; skipping up the hills. The wildflowers are out and in full bloom. The gals liked the fragrance. There was no lolly-gagging today. The heart rate remained in the zone. At the end was a bit of free-flying, ears flapping and tongues dangling. You gals did awesome - cutting 20 minutes off our last visit to Nosehill. AND still covering the same distance. Time for some girl talk, cold fresh libations and snacks (treats) at Michelle’s. The Doggy Business Report: a few pees for each gal. Only Lola had 1 poop..

​Howdy Sully! Are you ready to hang out with the girls on this trip? I always know Sully (and Kenny too) B-Line straight for the Jeep. I was not going to disappoint Sully, so we went for a car ride first. Miss Marley is staying at my place so back we went to get the girls. It was rather humid after last night's storm! The Fur Kids had lots of fun running around and leaping through the grass. If one dog pees - the other two have to pee in the same spot. If someone catches the whiff of a tantalizing scent, they all squeeze their bodies together to get the smell. Friends these 3 are for sure. Different ages, sizes and colouring. No problem, they have great adventures. 🐾 The Doggy Business Report: Sully had 1 poop and many many pees. Marley had 1 poop and several pees.

Mr. Marley did not ask for a mud bath appointment today. In fact, he preferred to stay clean! As we started our run, my friend directed me toward the big mud puddle that he dove into the other week. However, today when I asked him to stay to the side he did; pulling me past the puddle toward a nice open green space. We looked around, saw a couple of teeny pups and then continued on our journey. Marley must have been feeling a little lonely on the dog path since we were the only ones there so he decided to direct me to his friend's house in the neighbourhood. He walked right up to the front door and placed his ear against it to hear if anyone was home. It was completely adorable. Shame they weren't home. I think our friend was just lonely for a pup friend to jump around with today. About half-way through our adventure, Mr Marley decided to check in on his dad, so he directed me back toward home for a minute for a few head scrubs and then we continued for another while around the housing near home. We took our pace down to a walk and I could see my friend was feeling a little tired and was ready to call it a day. As he lay down in his living room, I took to his hind leg and gave him a little massage which he seemed to really appreciate based on the look of approval I got from him when I finished. I'll always look out for you, Marley. Feel better soon. The Scoop: 7 pees, 1 poop.

The Gang is altogether. A fantastic Thursday with all that summer brings. Aoife & I picked up Hux Pup and we ran over to the park to get a few more kilometres in. Marley's chauffeur got her there before we arrived and they got in an early swim. It is so much cooler by the creek and with all the trees. The smiles that all 3 dogs had on their faces when they realized they were all back in the pack was priceless. These 3 really do enjoy their time together. The Doggy Business Report: Huxley had 1 poop. Marley pooped at our place before leaving. Many many pees had by both dogs.

We are late late late for a very important date. Sorry Marley, we hit a traffic jam that made us an hour late getting to you. I do not know who was more anxious, Huxley or me . Since dogs have the fantastic ability to live in the future, Marley forgave us immediately and gave us one of those Marley smiles. We are in desperate need for a swim today. The mosquitoes thought we were on the ’all you can eat’ buffet.  Swimming helped to keep them off the pup's fur. Momma Marley hard two great opportunities to play with pups. At the last swimming hole, she zipped over to the other bank when she thought a pup was being picked on. Everyone laughed and said ’Marley/The black dog to the rescue.’ Hux came back to me after his swim and was wondering what he missed. Haha🐾. The Doggy Business Report: Marley had one poop. Huxley & Marley had several pees.

​There was no other option today. All paws down it was straight to a swimming hole. Thank Goodness the fur babes' park is full of swimming spots. With the humidity, it brought on ’Mosquito Mania’. Wowza, that was crazy! Marley and Huxley enjoyed their time together. Even though,  Marley did have an upset tummy. Her Dad gave us the heads up.  The Doggy Business Report: Huxley had 1 poop and many pees. Marley had a small poop (runny) and also many pees.

The Thursday Tri-Pack🐾 This threesome has been spending lots of time together. Different ages, breeds, colours and sexes. AND ALL THE BEST OF FRIENDS. I am a real believer we can learn a thing or two from these fine creatures. Today we ventured to the other side of the world. Actually to the 14th Street access of Nosehill - same thing in these pups mind. Lush green grass, new smells and a quiet path. Then, we came across the coyote den warning. We leashed up and headed in a different direction. Huxley laid down a couple of times, I think he needed a rest. Aoife plopped down on whoever was the closest🤦‍♂️. Marley like the wise senior she is paced herself and finished the walk first. Tortoise and the Hare story for sure. The Doggy Business Report: lots of pees and Huxley and Marley both had 1 poop each. Refuelling stop up next🐾🙏
