DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
  DISTANCE: 8.8 km DURATION: 1 hour 25 minutes
I picked Reba up this morning and I was a bit ahead of schedule. I think Reba may have been sleeping. She was a little groggy and did a big stretch at the front door. Boom, she was raring to go. Reba, I am in awe of how you can get that inner engine ready to go with just one stretch. Okay, where’s Aoife? Michelle!!! She is not in the Jeep. I'm going back to sleep. Have no fear my radiant redhead - we are going to pick her up. We did a little community exploring before the leashes came off. Man-oh-man I do not know what the scent was that had both girls at dead stops and engaged unwaveringly so we hit 10 of the ‘sniff-a-licious’ spots on the community portion of our run. The girls then had all the sniffing out of their systems and it was time to just run. The wind was a welcome cooling agent. I thought the doggy pool would be the first stop when we got back to my place. Nope, these gals had to share the water bowl.🤣The Doggy Business Report: 3 pees and 1 poop for Reba. Runner: Michelle

DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
  DISTANCE: DURATION: 1 hour 28 minutes Yep - Dog Day of Summer today for sure. Reba and Aoife had their greeting this morning and the only thing on their minds was....let’s go swimming. Okay girls, but let's get a bit of exercise in. All the dogs had big wide panting tongues. I predict this will be the doggy fashion trend this summer. Finally, we hit the water. The girls almost took me straight in too. I guess I made them wait too long🤪. The Doggy Business Report: 1 & 1 for Reba. Runner: Michelle

A•Rebbá is my favourite radiant redhead🐾. I do not know how I am going to break the news but it is just me and you today. At first, Reba did not believe me! Open the truck door and she instantly jumped in to inspect. Well, Michelle......what are you going to do to make this up to me? I could not disappoint. We had a “Goofy” good time.🐾🤪 We ran, we walked, we sniffed, and we chatted. we also had a photo session. Reba also tracked for some baby geese. She made sure Michelle’s ticker still worked?! We ran by this house when all of a sudden a large dog came barrelling out the front door barking at us. There was no fence and the leash it was on let the dog go all the way to the sidewalk. Aunty Michelle had 1 or 2 colourful words come out of her mouth as we both jumped off the sidewalk. Reba said I would not have to pay the swear jar if she got a few extra treats. A great day with A•Rebbá. Now to go home to Aoife whose nose will be totally out of joint. The Doggy Business Report: 1 & 1. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY  DISTANCE: 6 km DURATION: 1 hour
Well, it was pouring at my place but Gibbons and Toki live in this little pocket of good weather! We managed to stay dry for our warm-up with Gibs, and for most of my run with Toki. Then the weather hit a little bit harder 🌬️🌬️. Toki and I tried to stay in the trees but eventually we decided to cut it a bit short. We still made 6km and as always, rain or shine I have a hoot with the girls 😊 . The Scoop: Gibbons and Toki both had pees only.️️ Runner: Tara DGR RUN OF THE DAY

On Fridays, we wear purple . Today, Reba was sporting a very chic lilac purple-coloured vest. It was perfectly suited for all the purple flowers we saw blooming on our run today. We didn't go fast but we still did a pretty good distance before the heat came. We saw some baby birds and were very well behaved when passing other pups. We went down to the river but Reba wasn't super keen on getting wet or taking a drink. Still, we stayed cool and had a great morning adventure! The Scoop: 1 poop and 3 pees.

Looking fine Miss Reba😊! I love your new harness. The purple looks great against your auburn locks. Today was one for the books. I did a jog over to the off-leash so that the girls would not be too hot once they got their freedom. Las Chicas chilled and chose to walk beside me and stroll along. I knew then that they were feeling the heat. No worries girls! We are soaking in the sun and getting in our ‘steps’. Both Aoife & Reba bounded into the water before we finished. There is a pic where Reba is with 2 other dogs, almost a doppelganger. You have to look closely to see which one is Reba. Thank goodness for the spanky new harness.

Wowza! That was a heat attack. Reba and Aoife were two ‘hotdogs’. No reference to their size whatsoever🤣 These gals hit the streets with gusto. No holds barred, then......plop. They both laid down in the grass. Laid down to rest, no rolling or playing. It was time to rest and get their tongues off the ground. This happened 3 times before the half-way point. This was a clear message, we were going to jog home. The Doggy Business Report: 2 pees and 1 poop. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Reba and I had the zooooomies this morning! We did our new secret route along the river and then through Bridgeland but at max speed! With 20 minutes to spare, we ran the stairs a few more times and took some cute pics with the flowers. Whew! I hope you're pooped Reba cause I sure am. The Scoop: just pees.

Well, Well, A•Rebbá that was the social centre of dog-loving Calgarians. That was a new route for us but familiar stomping grounds for Reba. Great doggies and very friendly people. No speed records broken but an okay distance achieved. A dog has to play when a dog has to play. Today was one of those days🤪The Doggy Business Report: 1 poop and a few pees.

Phew! There was no snow today for my run with my favourite redhead Reba. We did a different loop today. Due to some trail closures, we had to go a way I'd never been before and saw some amazing views. We watched some birds by the river and sniffed the flowers that were in bloom. Reba was very well behaved; especially walking by other dogs. Happy long weekend! The Scoop: pees only. Runner: Tara DGR RUN OF THE DAY

10 kilometres to celebrate Aoife’s 2nd Birthday. My dog Aoife was very happy that her friend, Reba, had her run full on today. The perfect way to celebrate. We had a slow start because of the human!! (yep that's me🤪) I was thinking....”Do we go back to the vehicle and wait out the sleet?” I just looked at the girls with all their excitement and realized a little rain would do me good.🤣 There were not many people out today. Those who were were happy to chat. One last little swim and splash before our run was over. The Doggy Business Report: 1 poop and pee.

Watch out Scenic Acres' off-leash!! DGR’s Dynamic Girl Duo is hitting these trails today. 🤪 Reba and Aoife did not let the humidity slow them down. Their tongues may have got wider and dangled more, but when there is fun to be had, they find it. They romped about and let the crazy jumping beans get out of their system.🤣After our first watering hole, we had the pleasure of meeting up with DGR Runner Tracy and her two-year-old pup, Miss Gracie. We all had a nice visit and the girls bonded nicely. Reba, Aoife and I needed to get a bit more distance and we said our goodbyes. I promised the girls one last water spot if we ‘ran’ to it. When they hit that water, they both were flying. I enjoyed the spray and splashes they made to cool myself off. I might have to mark this route as one of our favourites. The Doggy Business Report: 1 poop and 2 pees. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
  DISTANCE: 8K DURATION: 1 hour 30 minutes The girls and I hit one of my favourite parks, Baker Park. I am surprised that these two could get their heads back into the Jeep. We would not even get 100 meters and Reba & Aoife would get comments like “what beautiful dogs” and “look at those gorgeous dogs”. “Can we pet them?” And of course, the standard question “what kinds of dogs are they?” With all this adornment, speed and distance were far from the girls' minds. Plus, this is the first time we gave been on this pathway and the ‘sniffs’ were very interesting for both gals. There were 3 water stops and one hilly off-leash stop. The heat was rising, the tongues dangling and ALL were happy to be plodding along together. The Doggy Business Report: 2 poops and a couple of pees. Runner: Michelle

Reba and Aoife have never heard of the Monday Blues. How could anyone not love stretching their legs and rolling in the snow? The chase game was ON today!! Reba would lie in the snow and then crawl and boom - pounce straight in the air at Aoife. I don't know if Reba was hunting Aoife or just enjoyed the reaction that Aoife gave. Which was, run crazy in circles and this would start all over again. These dynamic 2-year olds let another 2-year-old boy join in their shenanigans. Spot was playing hard trying to keep up. These gals are fast. The Doggy Business Report: 1 poop and a few pees. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY

A•Rebb•A! Today is Cinco de Mayo. Let's vamanos over to the ‘Hill’. Something was extra intriguing there today. To be more precise..... Sniff-A-Licious for both Reba & Aoife. We met up with a lady whose Doodle just got bit on the bum by a coyote. Maybe this is what Reba was trying to tell me when she was sniffing the air and pointing. After about 20 - 25 minutes of sniffing and on-leash, it was party time. These two crazy gals had some crazy dance moves and spent lots of time playing and chasing each other. Heading back to the vehicle was back on the leash and I could just tell these gals celebrated big.🤣 The Doggy Business Report: Reba had 1 poop and 3 pees. The last pee was just before getting into the Jeep. Runner: Michelle |
