DGR RUN OF THE DAY #4 
  DISTANCE: 10.2 km DURATION: 2 hour 5 minutes
Mona and Gracie took Bowness Park by storm! These two gals had everybody talking about how happy they were. Their mood was infectious putting smiles on some rather grumpy mugs as they partied their way through the park! Mona and Gracie were the “Smile Ambassadors” giving a little hope back to some Calgarians who clearly have a a hard time as of late. It was fun to watch as they bounced in and out of the water many, many (so many) times but as usual Mona is the more responsible one of the pack and lets us always know when it’s time to hit the road.😊 Thanks for a fantastic frolic today my friend! 1 poo and numerous pees today. Cheers and have a great weekend! Runner: Tracy

DGR RUN OF THE DAY #6 
  DISTANCE: 10.2 km DURATION: 1 hour 58 minutes
Today’s route was brought to you by our friend Mona. She was in a take charge kind of mood so Reilly and I just followed along in anticipation of what was to come! I figured that Mona was feeling a little peckish when she took us on a tour of some back alleys looking for snacks and Reilly jumped right in with no hesitation whatsoever! Next we needed to wash all those tasty treats down with some refreshing water so the gals took me over to a couple of their favourite spots for a cool down. At this point in our adventure there was no rhyme or reason to what was going on so we just meandered about until we found ourselves back home.😊 Thanks for a delightful time today ladies! 2 poos and several pees each.

Woo wee did we ever have a good time today!😁 I had a feeling that with the warmer temperatures out today, Mona and Gracie wouldn’t exactly be in any hurry but COME ON! These two gals acted like they had 50 lbs weights attached to each ankle until I let them free. Then it was a completely different story! They were acting like “Taz,” you know the Tasmanian Devil from The Looney Tunes cartoons (forgive me if you don’t know as I’m old). A couple of mini tornados running through the park having an absolute ball! There were a few comments (good ones) on how happy they looked. We even ran into our friend from last week so there I waited and waited....... finally they started to move again. Thanks for the GREAT time today Mona! 2 poos and several pees. Cheers!

I think that the humidity was weighing heavy on my athlete’s today as we didn’t have to do much to work up a sweat. Reilly and Mona weren’t particularly interested in expending those calories they were taking in on our journey today So, they nonchalantly sniffed their way to the top of the hood until it was time to release these party animals and..... nothing. They looked at me and started sniffing. I’m not sure they even realized they were free at first because it took them a minute to take off (not really). I guess even the biggest party animals need a break! Anyways, after my sisters from another mister came back, we headed on down the road and back to the abode. Thanks for making my day ladies! 2 poos for Reilly, 1 poo for Mona and numerous pees each. Cheers! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #5

My two little athlete’s Mona and Gracie were rock stars today! They had no idea what I was going to put them through but they took the challenge head on! It was a slow start as usual as they needed time to prepare and then we were off! Down the path and into the trails. Mona and Gracie hit every puddle and stinky swamp they could find. I decided to see if they would go farther on the path so we headed for the 14 Street bridge. The gals handled themselves quite nicely considering all the bicycle traffic. On our way back, my friends showed me the way right to the river for a well deserved cool-down where they met a friend who was chasing rocks and decided to join in the fun! Needless to say, I had a hard time getting them to leave. Eventually with some bribery, Mona and Gracie followed my lead back from whence we came. Thanks for a phenomenal time today Mona! 3 poos and many pees today. Cheers and have a fantastic weekend! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #4  DISTANCE: 10.5 km DURATION: 1 hour 50 minutes
I didn’t even get a chance to put my two cents in during the council meeting this morning. Mona and Reilly voted me off the island without any hesitation whatsoever! No fair.... they will always outrank me and I have come to accept this. We started off moving forward (sometimes backwards). These gals had all intentions of taking their time. When we neared the top of the hill, from a distance I saw Denise and Charlie so we had a quick yammer hello as they were on the other side of the street. Then an unexpected thing happened, my friends started to move quicker! It was great so then we headed over to a trail so I could let these gals go and they were pleased. After that party, we kept up our pace and then we had the pleasure of running into Michelle, Huxley and Aoife! What are the chances? When we finished visiting with our friends we headed on back to the ranch. Thanks for making this a great day ladies! 2 poos for Reilly, 1 poo for Mona and numerous pees each. Cheers!

Mona, Gracie and I had one helluva good time today! I knew with these warmer temperatures that maximum speed wasn’t going to last long. First stop was the river for some good old fashioned fun and a cool-down. After that, my gal pals were reenergized (just like the bunny) and we were off! Mona decided we needed some hill work and so we hit the hot and dusty trails. I knew Mona would eventually need to cool off and she lead us to the only mud puddle in existence. Once these crazy kids were nice and stinky we headed back but not before hitting the river one last time to clean off. Thanks for all the laughs my friend! Gracie and I always enjoy your company. 1 poo and several pees today. Cheers! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3
  DISTANCE: 10 km DURATION: 2 hours 4 minutes As we trotted along from tree to tree, Mona and Reilly were leaving their DNA all over the place! I managed to steer these gals in the direction of the pond and were they ever glad I did. So much so that they had absolutely no desire to leave. While Mona did laps Reilly ran around joining her friend in the water once in a while. These gals were having so much fun but I knew it was time to head out when I started getting attacked by the birds! They must have been protecting their nests. So we headed on our merry way; eventually making it back from whence we came. Thanks for a fantastic outing today ladies! 2 poos for Reilly; 1 poo for Mona and several pees each. Cheers!

DGR RUN OF THE DAY #6 
 DISTANCE: 10.5 km DURATION: 1 hour 45 minutes
After my athletes sprinted down the long and windy road that takes us to Edworthy Park, Mona and Gracie had enough. The partygoers came out and stayed out for the rest of our adventure. It was rather pleasant until Gracie had an encounter with a cantankerous pooch! All turned out okay in the end. We had to walk for a while as I got in the middle of things so my knees have seen better days! Miss Mona gave the pooch a piece of her mind and comforted Gracie while we all shook that ugly experience off. And then the party continued but this time we had to go up that nasty hill and all three of us weren’t impressed! Thanks for defending Gracie’s honour Mona! You're the best and that’s why we ️ love you! 2 poos and several pees today. Cheers! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #7

Today was a good day as Mona and I got to hang with our old friend Reilly! We missed her terribly and I could tell the feeling was mutual.🥰 The three of us headed out and it didn’t take long before I was being completely ignored. It’s okay these two had a lot of catching up to do. They reminded me of a couple of old ladies out for a stroll catching up on all the latest gossip! It was rather cute. And as if this day couldn’t have gotten any better but it did! Lo and behold who do we run into but DGR Runner Denise and Charlie! We stopped and chatted for a minute while the pooches did their thing and then we were off; casually making our way back to where it all began. It’s good to have you back Reilly! Thanks for a terrific time my friends! (Denise and Charlie too!) 2 poos for Reilly, 1 poo for Mona and many pees each. CHEERS! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1

It was smooth sailing for we three gals today, as we hit the Douglas Fir Trail. Mona and Gracie brought their party up a notch! No, seriously they ran up and down the hillside exploring every nook and cranny they possibly could. Not to mention, they found every single mud puddle out there today. They were filthy but very happy, I swear these two crazy kids are cut from the same cloth! After that excitement, we hit the river and I watched as Mona and Gracie made their way through the path spreading a little bit of joy to those who needed it. Thanks for being such a great friend to Gracie, Mona ! You have brought us both such joy! 1 poo and many pees today. Cheers! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3

Mona, Gracie and I had a blast this morning! I got to choose the route and I wasn’t taking no for an answer.... yeah right😶! We hit the once muddy trails which I am happy to report are all dried up. Which clearly is the reason Miss Mona was okay with my decision. Along the way, we came to a stop because Mona is not a fan of trains so we waited patiently in the bush until it had passed. Meanwhile, Gracie ran into a BIG BURR bush and her hind end is now a tangled-up mess🙄 We then travelled along to the other side of the river and partied with some pooches! This took a while because the big yellow beast of mine is a well known thief in these parts and struck again! It took Mona and me a good twenty minutes to catch her and give back the ball. Next, we headed on back from whence we came. Thanks for being such a good girl Mona! I hope one day Gracie follows suit. 1 poo and several pees today. Cheers! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3

Woo Wee that was something special! Mona and Gracie had to herd one big turtle today.... that would be me. These crazy kids didn’t seem to mind the soaker that was taking place on our adventure. Although Mona wasn’t too fond of my initial route so she made the executive decision to change it. She makes me chuckle! I had us heading into the muddy trails and Mona just wasn’t up for them today so Gracie and I followed her on the alternate route. I’m going to say it was a wise decision on her part. So we headed along the man made paths until the gals had enough and decided it was time to go home. Thanks for being so responsible Mona! Some one had to be.... 3 poos and many pees today. Cheers!

The gang is all here! Mona took it upon herself once again to be the event coordinator this morning and frankly Gracie and I were okay with this. That meant less decisions for me and Gracie well, she was just happy to be back! We ran around in circles until everyone had done their business( not me) and then we were off. Following the path, enjoying each others company we finally hit the off- leash area and then my friends went wild! In and out of the water running all over the place, back and forth only stopping for a moment to catch their breath. I think they missed each other.....🥰 After that in a round about way we made it back to my truck. Thanks for making this gloomy day a great one Mona! 1 poo and many pees today.

Mona was looking for the blonde beast A.K.A Gracie in my truck today and when she could find her, she was a little perplexed. It’s just you and me today kid! So we headed on down to Edworthy Park and hit the mighty trails again. Mona has become quite the little adventurer. She lead me down the trails like she knew exactly where she was going! It’s a good thing one of us did. We eventually hit the river and made our way back to the truck. Thanks for such a fantastic adventure today Mona! It was so civilized today. 2 poos and many pees. Cheers and enjoy the weekend. Runner: Tracy |
