Fab-ulous Pinky's Last Walk

DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1
Picture
DISTANCE: 1.6 km. DURATION: 49 minutes

Gooood morning young ladies! Happy Monday to you. The Ladies were all exited to go.. Mocha loves when daddy carries her down the stairs.. I think she may ask for an elevator very soon. Today the roads and paths were extremely icy thanks to the great weather we had the last couple days. We had to be extra cautious. The Girls took their time to sniff here and there. I think they're really love this new neighbourhood. We got to meet one of the neighbours and their doggy.  They introduced themselves as they admired the girls..  Today was Pinky last day with us before going away with her daddy. I can't stop remembering how far she has come. From having a hard time walking to now being so string and muscular.  She looks so Fab-ulous. I also had to be patient with Pinky today. I wanted a selfie and god knows, she is like her mom, she doesn't like the camera 🤣🤣 I going to miss you Miss Pinky.  I hope you come visit soon.  Maybe, you can send us some photos from time to time 🏻 Big hugs to you darling!   The Scoop: poos and pees for all.

Good morning everyone! I never thought I would be writing this blog anytime soon but the Universe decided otherwise! 😢 The only thing I can say is that today was a very emotional day! Our dear and so loved Shadow has been called back to heaven. I can't find words to express the sadness I am feeling right now. Shadow was one awesome dog.. I will cherish all those wonderful memories of you Shadow forever! You were funny, loving, smart (well too smart at times) and your personality was out of this world. There are dogs out there and special dogs, and Shadow was on the top of that list in my heart! Rest In Peace Shadow. Your paws are engraved into our hearts forever ! 🙏🏻❤️🐾 The girls had a great day. We couldn't leave home without taking Shadow's leash along.. we knew that he was there in spirit, walking along with all of us. The girls enjoyed the sunny morning and got to see many other new pooches from afar. We even went a little bit further. We needed to enjoy as much sun as we could as I don't think winter is over. Java got to roll a lot again today. The Scoop: Java, Mocha and Pinky all had a poo and couple pees.

DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1

DISTANCE: 3.4 km  DURATION: 1 hour 10 minutes​

Good morning kiddos! Today was a special day, The Porties moved to a new home 😃. The gang greeted me as usual and showed me the new PortieVille headquarters. It looks like they have a huge park as a backyard.. I can see a lot of summer parties for these kiddos during the summer! I took Shadow for a "discovery walk". Shadow wasn't himself today. I thought it was because he didn't know the area but he. didn't want to go for a walk.  He was slow and his ears were down🥴🤔. That is so not him. I hope he feel better soon. Then it was The Girlies' turn,  Well, those ladies were all over the place, There were new scents, new scenery, new doggie and so much excitement 👏😍!  We enjoyed an awesome walk and Java go to roll a lot on the snow.  She had a huge smile on her face. The Scoop: Shadow had a poop and one pee. Mocha and Pinky had a poop and a pee. Java had a pee.

Good morning pups! What a lovely day today. The sun is out and so are the clouds. Today, Shadow had a mind of his own. He saw the Cookie Manager on his tractor from afar and took it on himself to go pay him a visit. Nothing can distract Shadow if he has cookies on his mind. I took me a lot of effort to have him pay attention to me again 🤣.  After a few attempts, I had to put him back on leash.  Shadow was a little cookie monster today🤣.  Then it was  The Girlies' turn.   We got to see many doggies we have never seen before. We made sure to stay away from everyone. Thank you for another awesome day poochies!  The Scoop: everyone had a poop and couple of pees.

Social Distancing Taken Seriously in Portieville

DGR RUN OF THE DAY #2

DISTANCE: 3.9 km DURATION: 1 hour 4 minutes

Good Morning Kiddos! Whoa, I have to say that there is a weird feeling over Calgary these days! Driving to PortieVille was very different.  The roads were basically empty.   I think I was lucky if I saw 10 cars on the roads. We take social distancing very seriously at PortieVille.  There was no chit chat. The doggies were ready and out the door with minimum touching.  I think we are doing an awesome job!  Shadow was happy to go for his little walk. He was a bit disappointed to see that the cookie bank was closed but then he got to meet the Cookie Bank Manager on the path, so Shadow got to do some more quality control tasting! 🤣 Then it was The Girlies' turn. They enjoyed the walk as usual. We got to see Buckley the Belgian Dog from afar.  We all had an awesome outing.  The Scoop: Shadow, Mocha and Pinky had a poop and few pees each. Java had only a couple pees

DISTANCE: 3.8 km  DURATION: 1 hour 4 minutes

Good morning poochies! I am always so glad to see you guys. You are always smiling. A dog's life can be so awesome! Let the humans do the worrying and just be happy dogs! Shadow was all happy to go. He has been feeling much better since Monday. Today, we did the mini loop and walked almost to the mailboxes. Shadow wasn't impressed with me. I turned around before reaching the Cookie Bank Manager's office🤣.   I know Shadow, but it was icy and we can't take any risks.  Regardless, we enjoyed a great walk. Then it was the girlies' turn. While Java and Pinky were ready to go, Mocha decided that she too would practice some "social distancing."  Nice try Mocha 🤣. The ladies all had a great walk.  We even went a bit further today. The Scoop:  everyone had a poop and few pees.

DISTANCE: 3,9 km DURATION: 1 hour 2 minutes

​Good morning kiddos.  What a beautiful day today! I think it is a moment for us all to appreciate every little things in life. Shadow went for his walk alone. No Kopek today. As usual, I let him be free for about 1 kilometre but since he wanted to run I had to put him back on leash. The highlight came when the Cookie Bank Manager appeared.  Well, Shadow had to check on the inventory and do some quality control tasting. 🤣I am not going to mention to Kopek what he missed out on. 🤣 Then was The Girlies' turn. They were so eager that we decided to go for the mini loop today 🥰 Everyone was very happy to do something different. The Scoop: Shadow, Java and Mocha had a poop and few pees. Pinky had only a couple pees.

DISTANCE: 3.8 km DURATION: 1 hour 6 minutes

Goooood morning my friends! Holy Macaroni, the world has been going mad these days.  Thank Goodness, I got to see those kiddos. It brings some sanity in my life 🤣. Shadow was all "boing boing" today.  He wanted to run so badly. He looked great and seems to have healed well. However, Shadow - we can't do foolish things yet. He was allowed to be free for about a kilometre to do his business and smell things and then it was back on the leash. Poor Shadow, he was in such a running mood. Lol! Then it was girlies' turn. They too were in super happy moods. We even went for a longer walk.  It was awesome to feel the sunshine on our faces. The Scoop: Shadow had 2 poops and many pees. Pinky had 2 poops and a few pees. Java and Mocha had a poop and a couple of pees each.

​Good morning my friends! Happy Thursday!  It was another gorgeous morning. Today, Shadow decided to take it easy. Mommy dressed him up with one boot. Shadow was very proud of it; especially when I told him he was the canine version of Michael Jackson😃. We stayed near home and walked the mini loop by the bridge twice. Shadow was fine on Loop #1 but wasn't too sure about going twice. I had to convince him. Kopek was very intrigued by Shadow's Michael Jackson "glove". Then it was girlies' turn. Java was in a running mood today! Mocha and Pinky tried to keep up with her but the "ole" lady was way too strong for them to keep up. 🤣 The Scoop: Shadow had a poop and many pees.  The 3 ladies had a poop each and a couple pees.

Good afternoon kiddos. Oh oh.. cold wind tonight.. don't tell me winter is coming back, with all that melting, am ready for spring. Took Shadow out and didn't take me long to see his wasn't as comfortable walking in his left paw. Nothing drastic, but it is there. I then decided to keep Shadow on leash and just walk him once around the lake. He was feeling the same on his way back home. 🥴 Have a nice rest tonight Shadow.. 🥰hope you fell better tomorrow ! Girls were exited to go out. Soon outside, they got very busy getting big bites of snow🤣 Ladies.. I don't think it is ice cream time yet.. lol The scoop - Shadow had a poop and few pees. Mocha and Java had a poops and few pees. Pinky had only couple pees.

DISTANCE: 10 km  DURATION: 1 hour 30 minutes

I had my longest run yet with Shadow today! It was chilly when we started out so we got off to a fast start to get warm and continued on at a brisk pace the whole way. The sun came out and we even saw some horses on what was just a perfect morning. Shadow was quite intrigued by the strange-looking big dogs (as I’m sure that’s what he thought the horses were). We then came back and took out the girls before everyone got reunited for breakfast. The Scoop: Shadow had 2 poos, 5 pees. Mocha had: 1 poo, 2 pees. Java had 1 poo, 1 pee, Pinky had 2 pees.

On the Lookout for Otis

DISTANCE: 7.4 km  DURATION: 1 hour 41 minutes

​Good morning kiddos! Today is a special day! We have a job. Apparently, Otis, a pooch who has been lost for weeks has been sighted in the PortieVille area. So, with mom's  okay, we didn't run. Well, I didn't but the pooches did a lot! I had to pay attention if I could see Otis. Since we know the back trails fairly well, we headed that way. We didn't see Otis, but we sure noticed some very large paw tracks in the snow. We came back empty-pawed but we sure had fun.  We will do the same tomorrow. Then it was the girlies' turn. Since they don't watch the news, they are not really aware of Otis.  They prefer spending time walking and smelling things in the snowy paths. Ha ha! The Scoop : Shadow had a poop and many pees. The girlies all had a poo and a couple pees

It was a perfect, clear morning for a run and walk today! Shadow and the girls all got fantastic haircuts since I last saw them and they are looking very smart! I think they just returned from attending the Oscars with how classy they all are. Shadow put his sleeker frame to good use and was very speedy today! We definitely got a good workout in which is always awesome for both him and me. The girls were happy to come out in the fresh air as well and we had a nice little walk afterwards. Mocha was even complimented on her beautiful colouring by a passerby. Another fun morning with the Porties! The scoop: Shadow 2 poos, 5 pees Mocha 1 poo, 3 pees Pinky 1 poo, 2 pees Java 1 poo, 2 pees.

Good morning kiddos! I am always so glad to see all those smiley faces in the morning. Today, only Shadow is going for his little trot. The Girlies are going to the vet so no walk for them today. Shadow and Kopek stormed through the hills as usual. I got a good laugh when Shadow ran down a hill.  Kopek caught up to him but couldn't put on the brakes and  tried to jump over Shadow.  He missed his shot and both dogs ended up rolling down the hill. They got up, looked at each other with a "that was your fault, no .. that was yours" kind of face on. Where is the video when we need it? Lol!. The mountains and sun sure were beautiful today.  I got to take Shadow's photo with the sunrise behind him.  The sun made it look like he had a halo on his head 🤣.  The Scoop: Shadow had a poop and many pees.

Imagining these Porties in Their Human Form

DGR RUN OF THE DAY # 1
Picture
DISTANCE: 6.9 km  DURATION: 1 hour 24 minutes

Good morning my friends! It was another gorgeous day.  Hurray!  
So don't ask me why but my mind wandered and imagined what type of humans these pooches would be if they were human. I imagined Shadow as a classy gentleman wearing nice clothes; loving his pictures being taken.  He would have a good sense of humour and love his family very much. Java would be a Queen.  She oversees everything.  Although she doesn't speak much, when she does, everyone needs to listen. Mocha a.k.a. Miss Mo or Mok-Mok would be Princess Diana.  She always smile and she is one smart blonde.  She knows she is the "princess of the people" and everyone loves her.  Lol.  Pinky is the wanna-be athlete.  She is the tomboyish girlie girl who is always ready to go.  She is ready for any adventure. And then there is Kopek.  Although  he is a good boy when mama is around, he is more the type of kid who hangs in back alley; kicking garbage around and painting graffiti where he is not supposed to. Of course, all the gals love bad boy like him and Shadow is a bit annoyed by it as he too loves the girls' attention🤣🤣 I guess I have all these "personalities" and maybe should start to write a book. 🤣 Back to being serious - everyone had an awesome run. The Scoop - Shadow had 2 poops and many pees. Java , Mocha and Pinky all had a poop and a pee.
