DGR RUN OF THE DAY #5 
 DISTANCE; 8.5 km DURATION; 1 hour 40 minutes
Today, Mona decided right from the get go that she was in charge. Who am I to argue with this gorgeous gal? As for Gracie, she was just so happy to see her friend that she was up for anything! We headed in the opposite direction today because Mona said so. Fine by me. I’m always up for a new adventure. We hit the off-leash area so these two could burn off some pent- up energy. I know how they feel🤪. We then wandered in circles for a while before making our way back to the beginning. Thanks for making our day Mona! You're a bright light in this gloomy world right now. 1 poo and many pees today. Cheers! Runner: Tracy

DGR RUN OF THE DAY #6  
   DISTANCE: 8.4 km DURATION: 1 hour 33 minutes
The party started from the moment these two crazy kids first saw each other and didn’t stop until they parted ways! Seriously, I think all this social distancing is starting to get to our furry friends. Mona and Gracie were so happy to see each other that I was almost completely ignored. It’s okay, my feeling weren’t hurt I was just so happy for them. We changed things up a bit so these two party animals could really go at it! Gracie was having so much fun that she decided to go for a dip in the river! Mona being the responsible one told her some things that I didn’t understand but I’m pretty sure my mother said those words to me. Thanks Mona! As usual, the three of us had a fantastic time and appreciate Mona more than she will know. 3 poos (runny) and many pees today. Looking forward to our next visit. Cheers and stay sane!

If you happened to be out and about this morning along the Edworthy Park pathways, you may have seen something rare. So rare in fact I had no idea they existed in this town of ours. It was a herd of turtles and their names were Mona, Gracie and Tracy! Had you going didn’t I ? I thought that today we would do our route backwards and it may go quicker.... Boy, was I wrong. I’m not sure what was going on today but our heads just weren’t in the game. And when we came to the ice field I actually had to get down and crawl with my peeps! Good times! After that excitement we casually crawled down the path soaking up that glorious sunshine until we reached our final destination. Thanks for the fantastic entertainment today Mona! You're a peach! 1 poo and many pees today. Cheers and have a great weekend! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #4

We aren’t the fastest pack out there but I think we are easily one of the funnest! Mona and Gracie are keeping my spirits high and they made a few Calgarians smile on our travels today. It’s getting really quiet out there and I suspect it will get even lonelier. It’s weird but for the moment my friends made me forget the bad and remember the good. We three gals had a blast today; especially Mona and Gracie. When I released these ladies from their restraints that’s when the real fun began! Bouncing around, chasing each other and of course playing keep-away with sticks. It seems to be their favourite game for the moment. Sometimes,I swear these two were cut from the same cloth! Anyways, thanks for getting us out Mona! Gracie and I had a most delightful time. 1 poo and several pees today. Cheers and keep on smiling! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3

Organized chaos today for my friends and me! Mona was not the challenging participant; it was my Gracie who still has puppy brain.🤪 Mona and I were very patient because we’ve both been there. When we finally got past all the geese and made it to the party zone, things sped up dramatically. These two crazy kids got to run wild and free! Mona then led us to a trail we hadn’t been on for a very long time which eventually connected us to the Great Canadian Ice Field. When we were cautiously crossing over it, I could hear the water running underneath our feet. That’s going to get ugly soon! Eventually, we pranced on back to where it all began. Thanks for your patience today Mona! You're the best! 1 poo and many pees today. CHEERS! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3

It was a supervised party today with Mona and Gracie. Although I’m not sure who was supervising who at times! I was surprised at how many people were at the pooch park and for the most part everyone seemed happy. As we were heading down the trails, I landed on my keister and rode that frozen wave all the way to the bottom. Apparently, I was having too much fun so my friends tried to jump on my lap and get a free ride. Seriously Gracie? I’m not a small person but my laps not that big! Anyways, we travelled around checking out our favourite spots until Mona decided it was time to head on back. She was head supervisor today! Thanks for making these uncertain times - happy ones Mona! Gracie and I enjoyed ourselves immensely! 2 poos and many pees. Be safe and kind to one another. Cheers! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #6

Despite that obnoxious wind, Reilly, Mona and I had a lovely time today. The gals decided that they were taking me out and it was their way or the highway. I happily obliged as I always do😁. The only issue that came up and kept coming up was those darn leashes! I felt like I was cross training while trying to run at the same time. Up, over, under.... I probably could have thrown in a few burpees along the way but I wouldn’t because I don’t ❤️ burpees! Anyways, on our way back we ran into Huxley and Michelle so of course, we had to join them for as long as time aloud before saying adieu. Thanks for taking me out today ladies! It was nice. 2 poos and several pees each. Cheers! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #6

What was I thinking!?!?!!🤪 Mona, Gracie and I hit the pooch park and if we weren’t surrounded by ice it was mud! Good times... but then the trails were calling us and apparently we can’t resist a good challenge. Hahaha, there was a lot of slipping and sliding. To my surprise, Mona just went with it. Then, we (I) decided to check out the Great Canadian Ice Field and thought it was a good idea to cross it not once but twice! What can I say - the three of us are adrenaline junkies. Finally, we climbed up lunge hill and made our way back to my truck. Thanks for being so much fun today Mona! You're the best! 3 poos and several pees today. Cheers!

It was another successful soirée with two of my favourite partygoers Mona and Gracie. These gals sure know how to have a good time and their flare for fun was spread throughout the pooch park today! We had to turn back a few times before hitting the trails because we had a few stragglers that wanted to join our pack! 🥳 No one ever wants to be the first to leave. After I made sure there was only the three of us, we headed into the woods enjoying this gorgeous day until the pups had enough. Mona is usually the one to let the rest of us know when it’s time to head back. One last game of tug o' war before leaving it all behind. Thanks for another excellent adventure Mona! You're a peach! 2 poos and several pees. Cheers! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #2

Good Times had by ALL! As soon as I let these two crazy kids out, they were off... for about a second! You see there was a pooch party already in progress and there’s no way that Mona and Gracie were going to pass that up.🥳 Once we made our way through all the parties, the three of us off-road junkies hit the trails and made our way down the hill to see how the paths were. Well, when we hit the Canadian ice field Mona decided that it was time to turn around and go back up to where all the action was and Gracie agreed. (surprise, surprise) We ventured on back up to the party zone; eventually making our way back to where it all began. Thanks for such a great day Mona! Gracie and I had a blast! 3 poos and many pees today. Cheers! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #8

Well, it seems that running has eluded us this morning.... a bit like my time management skills😬 With the spring-like temps and all the fresh fragrances, serious exercise just wasn’t in the cards. It took second fiddle to sniffing, snacking and hunting! I can’t really blame Mona and Reilly as it was such a lovely day out. There goes Mother Nature playing tricks on us again! We eventually reached an off-leash area where I could release these gals from captivity so they could party with a purpose. After that we headed on back to were it all began. Thanks for another excellent adventure my friends! 2 poos and many pees each. Cheers! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1  .DISTANCE: 7.2 km DURATION: 1 hour 23 minutes
Some days are meant for socializing and today was one of those days. It was just Mona today so I thought I’d bring along my pouty princess Gracie. These two haven’t seen each other in a while and they didn’t skip a beat! As soon as we got to the pooch park, the party was on. Running, jumping and saying hello to as many pooches as possible. I tried my best to get them to do a little trail running but Miss Mona kept trying to lead the pack back to the party. Eventually (it didn’t take long) I surrendered and we made our way back .🥳 Thanks for all the fun today Mona! Gracie and I had a really good time! 1 poo and many pees today. Cheers! Runner: Tracy DGR RUN OF THE DAY #2 
 DISTANCE: 9.5 km DURATION: 1 hour 48 minutes As soon as the party was about to begin, it stopped. Mona and Reilly were confused at first and then they saw “Scout”. That’s what I’ve named Tuscany’s neighbourhood coyote as I’ve seen him/ her more times than I can count. Well, this changes everything.... Mona, Reilly and I headed into Scenic Acres where they could run and explore to their hearts' content! On the last leg of freedom, we ran into another pack of wild animals! No, it was Huxley, Marley, Ennis and Michelle 😁 We had a short visit and said adieu. After that, the gals and I made our way back home. Thanks for a marvellous time today Ladies! 2 poos and many pees each. Cheers! Runner: Tracy
 DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1

Los tres amigos en Tuscany🐾. Some days as a runner/walker you just get it right. 😊 My original thought with all this snow was that Huxley & I would go XC skiing. With having my two special house guests, Marley & Ennis. I contemplated what would Hux want. Oh my, before he got to the door of the jeep and realized BOTH Marley and Ennis were with me, danced. Like the real ’Happy Dance’. Hopping and prancing. Well, my choice was confirmed. Good job Michelle! The Amigos had lots of fun together and then we spotted DGR Dogs Reilly & Mona and their runner Tracy. Now, this was a true party and the ’Amigas outnumbered the Amigos’. The Doggy Business Report: everyone had lots of pees. Huxley had 2 poops. Marley & Ennis had 1 poop each. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY #4 
 DISTANCE: 8.1 km DURATION: 1 hour 16 minutes Wowza Huxley, now that is a greeting. Hux Pup was so excited to see me, he gave me a big hug. That totally made my day. I was feeling bad because I did not know how to break the news today that it was just going to be him and me. Then some blonde gal answered my prayers🤣. We came around the corner at the Scenic Acres off-leash and there was DGR Mona & Reilly. PLUS their runner Tracy (the blonde gal). Huxley was so happy to have pals to play with. Let’s not forget the ’Treat Lady’ kept them all memorized to her pocket. As luck would have it they were able to join us for almost the whole way home. The cherry on top was also saying ’Hi’ to DGR Charlie and his runner Denise. Today turned out to be a perfect day. Thank You, Ladies, for answering my prayers🤣. Runner: Michelle
