DGR RUN OF THE DAY #9 
  DISTANCE: 5.1 km DURATION: 1 hour 21 minutes
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. Runner: Michelle

DGR RUN OF THE DAY #4
  DISTANCE: 4. km DURATION: 1 hour 25 minutes
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🐾🙏 Runner: Michelle 
Hip Hip Hurray for last Sunday to today. Miss Marley came for a two night sleep-over. Aoife was pining at the window starting very early on Sunday morning. Aoife is still learning time. It has been a fun couple of days. Marley settles right in at our home. I caught her in the fridge on Sunday. Are you a bit peckish Miss M? Do you need a snack? Marley knows that the treats are on top of the island and she gets one every time she comes into the house. She never lets us forget. On Monday, Marley had to play big sister to Aoife. Aoife had to have a quick visit to the vet. Marley was so chill and relaxed. She loved the car ride which meant Aoife was relaxed too. The vet visit was a success. Plus Marley convinced Henry that she needed company in the middle seat. The truth be known, Henry just loves being with Marley. He chauffeured her to Tuscany today so Huxley, Marley and Aoife could have a nice time together. Marley you are just part of our pack.

Huckley & The Girlssssss. It just cracks me up how the girls, humans and canine love Huxley. Today was a very ’female’ dominant outing. Aoife came with us. The 3 of us ran to the off-leash park. Then, we met up with Miss Marley. She got chauffered to the park.🤩 The fur babes were getting hot pretty fast and things seemed to be slowing down. Finally, we hit the creek. Marley stopped & dropped in the water. Aoife decided that it was safe to get her ankles wet. Then there is Huxley who runs like a chariot horse through the creek. There was three very happy dogs by the time we got to the parking lot. It was then time to say ’Goodbye’ to Miss M. who got chauffeured back to my house. Huxley, Aoife and I headed back to Huxley's. We saw 3 more females ahead of us running at a good pace. We tried to catch up - but this was at the end of our run so the tank was getting empty. I got out my phone and text DGR Runner Tracy and she was with DGR dogs Mona & Reilly. We met up for a chat and a visit. PLUS Tracy treats🐾. Today was Hux Pup and all his gals.🤣 The Doggy Business Report: Marley had 2 poops and many pees. Huxley had 2 poops and many pees. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1

Wow, it was a hot one today! Marley and I started off with a walk on the sidewalk across from the long green area beside 66th Ave. We ran for a good 2 minutes through some alleys, then decided to go back to walking. Marley was on a quest to find shade this morning. Occasionally, he’d lead us onto a shaded patch of somebody’s front lawn so he could lay down or roll around in the cool grass. Great job today Marley! The Scoop: 2 pees, 1 poo. Runner: Ryan DGR RUN OF THE DAY #10

Happy 6th Birthday Huxley🎉🐾. There is a party planned for this special occasion. First off, Marley got picked up, then Sully. King Kenny wanted to come but this group is going a bit too fast for him. Then by accident, Sully sat in the reserved seat that Marley saves for Huxley every Thursday. Well, this was not going to do. Sully jumped straight into the driver's seat and chauffeured us to get Huxley. There was so much excitement, fun, swimming, shenanigans and celebration that we took our time. Every minute was full-on party mode. As ’I’ drove Sully home (he was too tired to drive, he fell asleep. Then I went to our house to get Aoife for round two. As Huxley & Marley refuelled with some water and snacks, I went to harness Aoife up. I then went into the kitchen to find both pups sleeping. Okay, we will celebrate more on Tuesday.😂I think you two are done in. The Doggy Business Report: All dogs had 1 poop each and many pees for everyone. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY #10

The DGS (Dog Gone Swimming) Blog - a division of DGR. Marley & Huxley decided today was going to be all about the swimming. The water temperature was perfect, the availability of swimming spots - more than acceptable. The fun level was in the red. A perfect way to spend a Thursday afternoon in June. PS. There was a bit of running too🐾😂. The Doggy Business Report: Both Marley & Huxley had one poop each. The also had several pees each.

Marley took it easy on Huxley and me today. We were both out for a good run before coming to pick you up. Marley had a little twinkle in her eye. She was ready for some exercise. It was a fantastic 5K through Griffith Woods. At the second watering/swimming hole, Miss M got the hijinx. A little background information on the unusual event is that Huxley is the roamer of the group and comes barreling back to Marley and myself. To witness Marley’s zoomies and water hijinx made Huxley stop and see what she was up to. Marley was ripping back and forth in the creek. I think she really liked the splashing of the water under her belly. Then, she zoomed under and over and then under again on the bridge. Huxley watched her with delight but his ’pep-meter’ needed more coins (cookies) added to resume. When Marley finished her hijinx, she gave us another twinkle and a smile. The pups had a great day and both Huxley & Marley give 8 paws up on the swimming conditions today.The Doggy Business Report: neither dog had a poop. Both dogs had several pees.

The humans were talking and it was mentioned that Marley may not have a lot of ’hustle’ in her today. Huxley to the rescue!!! Huxley brought the ’Hustle’ back into Marley. They were ecstatic to be back on ’their’ pathway. They zoomed to the right and then zoomed to the left. There was a bit of ’shimmy & shake’. Huxley and Marley had lots of ’Hustle’ in their steps today. So much so that I do not think either realized the amount of the rain that had fallen until back at the Jeep. Pretty cute with their towels on. The Doggy Business Report: Marley had 1 poop and several pees. Huxley just peep multiple times. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY #6

Kids....there is new territory for us to conquer today. Off we headed to Edworthy Park. ’OUR’ Park seems to have a bear visiting so we are not going to take any chances. Edworthy was a nice change and the hill work was good for everyone. Except that big hill coming back up into the off-leash park. As Huxley & Marley casually made it to the top. the human in this trio was huffing and then......screaming like a little girl. Yes, the little girl that she is not a fan of slithering snakes. That is right a snake!! Huxley jumped over it, Marley walked through it and I squealed. Both pups came back to help me navigate my state-of-mind and get to the top. Thank you so much my supportive friends; you helped me big time. That meant extra extra treats once we got to the Jeep.🐾🥰 The Doggy Business Report: Marley 1 poop and a few pees. Huxley had another super soft poop and lots of pees. Runner: Michelle 
  Hi Miss M, welcome back for a ’proper’ stay. Hahaha. Last time Marley teased us with a ’blink’ of a stay. Our family loves when Marley (who is like our eldest daughter) comes home to her second home. Our mornings start with coffee and cuddles on the couch. Breakfast has a routine of letting Marley & Aoife lick the prep spoons of their meals. These two gals both lick at the same time. They are so good together. Marley’s visit was rather busy with her outings with Huxley and Aoife. Then there was her kitchen time with me. She has a certain spot inside the kitchen she watches me from. I also think it is a prime spot to pounce on anything that may drop. Marley would put up with Aoife’s backyard games of tag and when she had enough. I would hear a single bark indicating ’I am done playing with this pup!’ In the evenings, we had a ritual of Marley & Michelle couch and TV time. I will be lonely on the couch tonight. Thank goodness we have a walk date scheduled for Thursday.️

Today, Marley was in the vehicle when we picked up Huxley. She jumped out immediately and ran to the door. She knew exactly that is was Thursday and that meant fun with her BFF. Back in the Jeep Miss M! I promise Huxley won't go without you. Today Marley, Huxley and I went to a new location. It felt like we teleported ourselves to another part of the country - either coast would be a good guess. There was so much fun to be had and the trails and hills gave us a good workout. Plus, another bonus for the pups was the swimming. With all the ups & downs, Miss M and Hux started to slow down a bit. We may have not had the distance but we did have the endurance. Time to refuel & hydrate before Nosehill. The Doggy Business Report: multiple pees for both pups. Marley had 1 poop and Huxley had 2. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY #4

Cinco de mayo con los amigos🐾. To say that Huxley, Marley and Aoife were happy to be reunited would be an understatement!! Today being Cinco de Mayo, we had to all reunite and get into some shenanigans at the park. These 3 Amigos hit the dirt trail with ’excitement’ in their step. Huxley flew off the bank and straight into the creek. Marley ran straight in and laid down. Aoife went barreling down after them. At the last minute when she realized they were in the water, she jumped over both of them and landed on the other side. No way was she going to partake in that. Lots of swimming today for Huxley & Marley. Plus a nice amount of other poochies out to socialize with. Marley & Aoife caught a ride back home while Huxley and I jogged back up the hill to his place. Another successful ’Tres Amigos’ day. The Doggy Business Report: lots of pees for both Marley & Huxley. Hux had 2 poops and Marley had 1. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY #5

REALLY!!! We get to start and finish our outing with a swim!?!. Michelle gained some big brownie points today with Marley & Huxley. 😊 I picked up Marley first so that she could surprise Huxley. Huxley was tickled pink as soon as he realized she was in the Jeep. He has his own version of ’The Happy Dance’🤪. At first, Huxley was telling Marley, ”I think we are going to the coulee?” Then I drove right by. What!! Then Huxley told Marley, ” Oh it has to be Baker Park’. Then I passed by the entrance. These two were getting so excited that they flew out of the Jeep. Marley was very energetic today and at times outran Huxley. Huxley may be burnt up some of his energy at the start doing the ’Happy Dance.’ The Doggy Business Report: many pees had by both pups. Marley - 1 poop. Huxley - 1 poop. Runner: Michelle 
 Miss Marley came for a visit to save our sanity and our backyard!! Aoife has been up to landscaping shenanigans due to boredom, so Miss M came to our rescue. I am happy to report, Marley had the magic touch. No new large holes were created, large enough for a meteor to sit in. It was just time for lots of “Girl Dog Fun”. Aoife always has to be close to Marley. One time, Aoife rolled over onto Marley. That was not approved by Marley and Aoife had to wait for about 15 minutes before they could snuggle again. Marley enjoyed soaking up the sun while Henry worked in the backyard. I could just see her thought bubble wondering “Why or why does that young crazy Pup keep following him? He always comes back!!”. Marley - we love having you. Only one complaint - this was a teaser visit. It was just not long enough. Rest up and stretch right out now that you don’t have to share your bed.
