DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE: 7.3 km DURATION: 1 hour 7 minutes The theme for our run today seemed to be Crossed Lines! The three of us had so much trouble getting on the same page as to which way we were going to go! The neat thing about that is that we ended up some place totally different from any of our other runs, which is always interesting. It also meant we had to stop a number of times to untangle leashes! The two girls decided to have a little wrestle half-way through the walk, which was pretty darn cute, but involved some more de-tangling The Scoop: Mira had 4 pees, 1 poop. Nova had 4 pees, 0 poops. Runner: Lindsay

DGR RUN OF THE DAY

We are still MAGPIE… exploring the area and SQUIRREL… luckily finding new and SQUIRREL MAGPIE…interesting things everyd- SQUIRREL… ay! I’m hoping this ama- MAGPIE… zing weather stays around for a few weeks yet! The Scoop: lots of pees and 1 poop for Mira. Runner: Lindsay DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Today, I learned something new about Sisters Mira and Nova. I joined DGR Runner and my son Ryan on this lovely autumn Thursday. What I learned was that Nova is the sprinter in the family and Mira is the endurance athlete. I was running Nova and she was giving me her fastest 100 metre race in the beginning while Mira was taking it nice and steady with Ryan. In some of the photos you will see Nova clearly setting the pace. However, like the story of "The Tortoise and The Hare," Mira had the stamina and was leading the way home. The Scoop: Mira had 2 pees, Nova had 1 poop, 2 pees. Runners; Ruth and Ryan DGR RUN OF THE DAY

There have been a number of firsts for me as a new runner, but today I got to celebrate the last day of summer with these amazing Huskies! Mira and Nova chose to celebrate in typical Husky fashion by running and chasing squirrels and finding the perfect places to pee! I celebrated by taking in the sunshine, admiring the amazing colours and trying desperately to get at least one decent picture of the girls in front of a flower bed! I’m not sure how many of these glorious days we have before the white stuff, but I’m going to enjoy every second of them; especially with the fantastic company I get from Mira and Nova! The Scoop: 6 pees, 1 poop. Runners: Lindsay DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Since Mira is still in recovery mode from her porcupine adventures, Ryan and I divided and conquered. He took Mira on a more leisurely walk and Nova took me on a fast-paced run. Yes, Nova was leading the way as I had just taught a Spin class so needed her motivation. As we were headed into Edworthy Trails, I started thinking about how I used to run DGR German Shepherd Buck through these trails and wouldn't you know it, I saw him out with DGR Runner Kathleen. The first time we saw them, I just headed towards the railroad tracks to keep a safe distance and the second time I shouted a hello from afar. Speaking of Bucks, we also say a deer (not a buck) but for the purposes of this blog, I will take liberties and say we saw 2 Bucks. Nova did not spot it as she was busy running towards Magpies. The Scoop: 2 pees only. Thanks for the sweat fest! Runners: Ruth DGR RUN OF THE DAY

It is pretty wonderful to have DGR Dogs Mira and Nova living in my neighbourhood. Today, I decided to join my son Ryan and make it a family affair. We took Mira and Nova down to one of my favourite pathways and through parts of the Douglas Fir Trail. I frequent this area with my dog Teddy and have received some Local Legend awards on Strava for how many times I have done this route. Well. I must say, Mira and Nova were in a running mood. They seemed like they were competing for first place with each other so they pushed the pace. We finished the last km with a cool-down walk home. We sure enjoyed the workout and the fall foliage. The Scoop: 1 poop for Mira. Both Nova and Mira had a few pees. Runner: Ryan and Ruth DGR RUN OF THE DAY

The gals were feeling much better today so we had permission to run! This was only at half speed which was a full core workout for me keeping these two crazy kids at a reasonable pace. Soon, they caught on and the three of us trotted along nicely except when we were untangling ourselves from the (what felt like) 20 leashes! The thing is when you stop too long Mira goes one way and Nova goes the other way until I’m all wrapped up and can’t move….. HAHA! It is funny though, especially when you look up and see people smiling. It is a bit of a comedy show. Anyways, we toured around with ease eventually making our way back to the castle. Thanks for keeping it real Mira and Nova! 1 poo for Mira and many pees each. Cheers! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY
  DISTANCE: 6.5 km DURATION: 1 hour 29 minutes
Surprise! The gals weren’t expecting me at all today as they were casually sprawled about when I came through the door. Actually, I think I woke Mira up! We went for a stroll about town so the gals could catch up on what’s been happening around the hood’. No speed reading (sniffing) today! Nova tried her best to coerce Mira and I to pick up the pace but soon got sidetracked and was just happy to be out and about with her sis’. Thanks for a very pleasant Friday morning ladies! Have yourselves a fantastic weekend! 2 poops for Mira; 1 poop for Nova and several pees each. Cheers! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY

What a morning with the Canadian Women's Soccer team taking the Olympic Gold! This was followed by a run with athletic Huskies Mira and Nova. Prospective runner Berkeley joined us. The girls must have thought they were Olympians as they were both in the running mood. We started out quickly and then had some longer stretches of walking on the pathways by the coulee. There was one point when Nova started to direct us down the coulee. I wonder if that is her normal spot with regular runner Tracy. We got to see some cool rock art and saw a moose crossing sign but no moose. I usually have Strava so I can gauge our distance but it was not working so I was surprised to see we got close to 10K as we did a lot of walking in these smoky conditions. I guess we are speed walkers. The Scoop: 1 poop each and several pees for both Mira and Nova. Runners; Ruth and Berkeley DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Look who came out to play today.... 😊 The Beautiful Husky Sisters, Miss Mira and Miss Nova.🐾 Nova was a tad shy when trying to get her harness on, but she let me give her a little hug finally and all was good. Mira, the big sister, was in charge of today's activities. We stopped when she wanted, we sniffed when she wanted. We took it easy with our pace and that was also what Miss M wanted. Nova, the cutie patootie, was up for all that her big sister wanted to do. There was one thing Mira just could not get into, that Nova was delighted to do. Jump up and catch butterflies. It was rather adorable when a butterfly would pass Nova’s nose she jumped straight up and tried to catch it. This little girl is so gentle and graceful, it was like watching a ballerina. No butterflies were caught or harmed in this activity. The Doggy Business Report: Mira had 2 poops and several pees. Nova had 3 pees Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Nice to meet you, Mira and Nova! Nova was a little hesitant to get leashed up, but once we were running she warmed up to me pretty well. The two Huskies took the lead for the beginning of our journey. Mira and Nova showed me around all the cool trails and pathways in their neighbourhood, and we made it all the way on the other side of Stoney Trail. On the way home, the two dogs had slowed down quite a bit. Mira was running closer to my side and Nova was just slightly behind me. So, for the last five minutes we just cooled down with a nice walk. Great job today Mira and Nova! The Scoop: 4 pees, 0 poops (Mira). Nova had 0 pees, 0 poops. Runner: Ryan DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE: 7.8 km DURATION: 1hour 43 minutes It was a pooch party of EPIC PROPORTIONS TODAY!🥳 The gals and I hit the road and met our friends Michelle, Reba and Aoife down in the valley for a River Dance! It may not have been that graceful as there was some stumbling amongst us humans…. I won’t mention any names Michelle! We also had some fun rolling on a dead fish… well done Nova!🤢 But besides that, it was an awesome time and the gals got a long fabulously! Thanks for a fantastic time today Mira, Nova, Reba, Aoife and Michelle! Hopefully we can do that again soon! 2 poops and many pees each. CHEERS! Runner: Tracy

Road trip! Mira and Nova were pleased as punch when my truck doors opened and they hopped on in. They knew a great adventure was about to happen and let me tell you they were right! Down to the river we went; travelling at a ridiculous speed when my poo bags flew out of my pouch (I had no clue) and they were dangling on the back of my leg. Of course, I screeched like a wild animal because I didn’t know what it was and then had a good laugh. Mira and Nova gave me an eye roll and we carried on. With a slight detour, thanks to Mira’s nose, we checked out the hood for a while and then who should we run into? Reba and Michelle! Yay! Let the pooch party begin! The three of them got along great so the five of us continued on and partied our way through the park. Thanks for such a fantastic time today Mira, Nova, Reba and Michelle! The more the merrier I always say! 3 poops for Mira; 1 poo for Nova and many pees each. P.S. there were ghosts in my phone not sure what happened but my app quit early and apparently I can write and run! 🤷🏿♀️ CHEERS! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE:8.1 km DURATION: 1 hour 42 minutes Mira was on a mission today and apparently Nova and I didn’t have much say in the matter! Sometimes it’s best to leave all the decisions up to the professionals I guess. We headed out as we always do with the gals racing each other and me…. Just hanging on for dear life! But soon the temperature was on the rise and the sweat was dripping. So the girls took a sharp right and in an instant we were keeping things cool in the coulee. After that fun, we hit another short shady trail before making our way back home. Thanks for another fantastic outing ladies! 2 poops for Mira; 1 poo for Nova and many pees each. Cheers! Runner: Tracy 
DGR RUN OF THE DAY   DISTANCE: 7.5 km DURATION: 1 hour 34 minutes ROAD TRIP! Mira and Nova were questioning me when I opened up my doors and told them to hop on in. But they always know when I come around, something fun is about to happen so they happily committed themselves to wherever this treat truck was going to take them…. To the river we headed and my friends were ecstatic! We started off sprinting as usual but then they just had to get their feet wet (and nearly mine) so we headed to the water for a cool-down. Across the bridge and around the corner and we almost ran right into Michelle and Reba! What a nice surprise… we had ourselves a little chit chat and then carried on our merry way. The gals had such a blast that we may have to go road tripping again! Sooner than later. Thanks for always being so much fun ladies! Pleasure was all mine. 1 poo and many pees each. CHEERS!
