DGR RUN OF THE DAY
 DISTANCE: 10.2 km DURATION: 1 hour 2 minutes
CRUSHFEST! It was the fastest tethered 10 km we’ve ever done. 54:30 on my Garmin. That tuckered Rossi out! He was a weight to pull the final 2 km or we would have been faster. We finally found the way to tire him out and it is speed! Run faster. He was awesome! He paid little to no attention to anything just tried to keep up. I think we will be doing this again! The Scoop: lots of pees and no poops: There was no time for that as we were running fast! Haha! Runner: Mark

DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
  DISTANCE: 15.5 km DURATION: 1 hour 45 minutes
What a long Monday run! This was Rossi’s longest run yet and he crushed it. We will have him up to a half marathon in no time. Haha. He was really great today. We had one harrowing moment when an off-leash dog charged us but I was able to yell at it and the owner. Thankfully, it recalled before anything happened and we carried on. I love this beautiful crisp weather. The Scoop: 0 poop, so many pees. Runner: Mark DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Holy wind! Not sure where that came from but wow, was it crazy. Some gusts literally had me at a stand still. That said, the return trip was a lot of fun! It was a fantastic run today with the sun shining. Rossi was extra thirsty today and wanted to stop at puddles and such and eat snow. I let him have a little bit but I tried to keep him going so he didn’t get an upset stomach. There were lots of people out and lots of dogs to dodge but it was wonderful. See you Monday!

Happy Friday, Marley! He is looking so trim and strong these days. We enjoyed the beautiful morning by touring the reservoir. Marley was particularly amused by the ducks and geese chasing each other around in the river. His good behaviour and temperament was rewarded with some tasty treats, which he happily enjoyed. Marley was so smiley that it was hard to choose only four photos to submit - he’s such a happy pup! The Scoop: 1 poo, multiple pees. Runner: Lucia DGR RUN OF THE DAY #2

What a brilliant day out! It was fabulous running weather and Rossi was mighty happy to see me so I’m glad I was not forgotten while I was away! He was great today and he minded his own business for the most of our fun run. He even got in a few extra pets from some ladies that wanted to meet him so he was in his glory! The Scoop: 1 poop, lots of pees. Runner: Mark DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3

It was a great run with Rossi! Rossi and I did a shorter distance to stretch out our legs from Monday’s 12 km. There were a couple times Rossi did not seem keen to keep moving, I checked his paws to see if there was anything bothering him. A few pads on his paws were raw. We took our pacing easy for the rest of the run and continued to avoid rock and salt patches on the sidewalk. Rossi was a great companion today, and got called a ‘good boy’ by a passersby. Rossi has definitely mastered the art of puppy dog eyes and is too cute to ignore. The Scoop: 3 pees only. Runner: Dru DGR RUN OF THE DAY #5 
 DISTANCE: 12.3 km DURATION: 1 hour 36 minutes
it was a great run today with Rossi! We kept a fairly steady pace, and ran a longer distance. There were lots of people out enjoying the warm weather. Rossi was very well behaved and remained calm when passing people and other dogs. On our way back, Rossi slowed down a little. We decided to take a couple walking breaks to allow Rossi to catch his breath. Rossi also enjoyed munching on some snow as we ran. All in all Rossi is such a big sweetheart and it was a great day! The Scoop: 1 poop, 6 pees. Runner: Dru DGR RUN OF THE DAY #1 
 DISTANCE: 14.4 km DURATION: 1 hour 45 minutes
This was the longest run for Rossi ever! He was a champ.! I took him on a new route and he loved it. He played in lots of snow on the way back as it was getting pretty warm in the sun. It was a beautiful day. I’ll have him up to half marathon distance in no time!! The Scoop: 1 poop, lots of pees. Runner: Mark DGR RUN OF THE DAY #2 
 DISTANCE: 8.2 km DURATION: 1 hour 1 minute
Wow, that was something! There was cold snow and wind but we got it done. Rossi was a champ! He started to lift his paws on the way back in such a way that I’m sure they were cold and snow-packed. I cleared them up a couple times and he was okay. It was almost a white out at times where I could hardly see. The path was hard to follow as well but it was pretty fun. Had the path pretty much to ourselves! See you Wednesday I hope. The Scoop: 0 poops, a few pees. Runner: Mark DGR RUN OF THE DAY #5

The fun started even before the run did today. Rossi's Dad let Rossi out while I was walking up the yard and Rossi pretty much tackled me in joy! Is there anything better than an enthusiastic greeting from a loving dog!?! I think not. Our run was nice today. There was not too much wind and the fluffy snow was falling. It was a little icy in spots but overall, it was really good. Rossi seemed happier today with the lack of wind and we had no issues.

 DISTANCE: 11.8 km DURATION: 1 hour 9 minutes
What a difference a day makes! It was a beautiful day today and the sun was out. There was not very much wind and we cruised for almost 12km. We went a little longer today as it was really nice outside. Rossi was wonderful! A German Shepherd that we’ve run into a couple times got a bit nasty at him but we kept them apart and Rossi was pretty cool about it. All in all, it was a great run. The Scoop: 1 poop, lots of pees.

It was another amazing December day! What a beautiful run with the big man today. Had some fun when my hat flew off into traffic and had to go get it but it was all good. He was funny in spots and kept wanting to stop. Not sure why. I would get him rolling again and we were good. Strange. The Scoop: 1 poop, several pees. Runner: Mark DGR RUN OF THE DAY #4   DISTANCE: 11.2 km DURATION: 1 hour 11 minutes
What an incredible December 2! It was a beautiful day and we were off like a rocket. Whatever energy he burned off on the weekend was back and we had a great run. He really doesn’t like people running behind him and several times I’ve had to stop and let them pass as he becomes dead weight and pulls me backwards. It’s pretty funny. But as soon as they pass, the race is on and he watches to catch them right away. But don’t pass them! Crazy. I also auditioned for an epic fail video today. Almost home and I don’t even know what happened. One second I was running the next I was falling and tumbling down. I lost my hat and a shoe!?! How do you loose a shoe. Man, it hurt! Rossi comforted me as I was down. Skinned my knee really good. Both hands and a forearm. I almost wish it was filmed to see it. After some Rossi love I was back up and we made it home! All good. The Scoop: 1 poops, lots of pees. Runner: Mark DGR RUN OF THE DAY #3

It was wonderful to see Conor again! I think we were both excited to be out on the paths enjoying the nice weather. We went down past the golf course and saw a beautiful Golden Retriever a ways ahead of us. The lake was completely covered in snow. It looked pretty cool! It resembled a big piece of blank paper (save for a few tracks on the surface) The Scoop: 1 poo, 2 pees. Runner: Eve DGR RUN OF THE DAY #4

It was a fabulous run today and happy Friday to all! I think I got a few really good action shots of Rossi today so check out the pics. Rossi was his usual wonderful self. We made a couple friends who were walking up to the hospital. People love him. He is a great pup. The Scoop: 1 poop, lots of pees. Runner: Mark |
