DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE: 6.8 km DURATION: 1 hour 2 minutes
Sully and I ran for the first half and walked for the second half of our adventure this morning. It felt like it’s been a while since it’s been this warm out because of all the crazy rainy weather we’ve been getting. So, it was a great morning to be outside soaking up the sun. We walked through the grassy area by Turtle Hill on the way home. Sully rolled around in the damp grass under some shade to cool off. He is just the happiest boy when he’s outside on an adventure! Great job today dude! The Scoop: 2 poops and 3 pees. Runner: Ryan

  Mr. Happy Pants aka Sully has arrival!! I am sorry to hear that you have not been feeling your best. I would have to say his usual silly goofy self was at a 9 out of 10. I think you are on the mend. At the Puppy Party, Sully was all beans and romping around in the sun with his pals, Sophie & Ellie and Aoife. Sophie at 11 1/2 years of age, gave him a fabulous workout when it came time to fetch the ball, a million times. Last night, Sully was snoring pretty loudly from all the fun he had in the daytime. He still had enough energy to play with a ‘Sully Sized’ dog stuffy. Not Super-Sized but Sully-Sized ~ haha. Today was another pack walk at the off-leash park with 4 of his friends. Sully was pretty tired and I had to wake him from his slumber to go home. Oh Sully, you brighten our days whenever you come for a visit.

It was cloudy with a light drizzle this morning, which was actually quite nice once Sully and I got going since it helped cool us down. The rain from yesterday and this morning really brought out the smell of the blossoming lilacs we passed by. (Sigh of relief) what a refreshing smell. Sully and I saw a deer today! We turned a corner and it was standing maybe 10ft or so in front of us in a front yard. It looked at us for a second before prancing down the sidewalk to another lawn. Sully was pretty unfazed by it, but it was definitely scared of us, so I took a picture from a distance and we turned back to go a different way. Great running this morning, Sully!

Two days on a row with Sully, my lucky week! We were both a bit slower today. We had a couple of fast sprints yesterday, so today was a nice easy pace. I didn’t bring my dog water bowl with me, and it was hot this morning, but Sully figured out how to drink out of my camelback so it was all good. Not sure if he will go back to the water bowl after this though. Sully and his mom surprised me with a lovely card and a can cooler (in mint green) after our run. Thank you Sully for another wonderful morning. The Scoop: 1 poop, a bunch of pees. Runner: Michelle W. DGR RUN OF THE DAY

I enjoy Sully, and running with Sully is so much. It is the best way to start my days off. We ran our usual route, ran alongside a bunny, saw a huge bee and watched a couple of Magpies. We tried to take pictures of all the beautiful flowers that are blooming, but Sully just wanted to keep going! We did stop by Grace Church to take a photo of a mural I have never paid attention to before, and then up 37th and home again. Thank you Sully for sharing your day with me.

It was quite the windy morning, but the sun was still shining so it was hard to complain. Sully was in the marking mood, so we had many brief stops before we got into the flow of things. He also found a freshly cut patch of grass in the shade to roll around in. Although there was no snow, it seemed to do the trick. As we ran home, the wind was on our backs and practically pushed us along. Great job today Sully! The Scoop: 5 pees, 1 poop. Runner: Ryan DGR RUN OF THE DAY 
 DISTANCE: 7.2 km DURATION: 1 hour 3 minutes My buddy Sully!! I missed this guy. I was so excited to see him today. I think he was excited as well because he came flying to the door when he saw me through the window. We took our usual path, saw some crocuses, played hop scotch, stopped by the Community Rocks and spotted a tree mural I had never seen before. The morning was incredible, warm and sunny. I couldn’t have asked for a better day or a better run buddy! ❤️ Thanks for sharing your time with me Sully. The Scoop: 1 poop, a bunch of pees. Runner: Michelle W.

Sully and I took it pretty easy on this hot Tuesday morning. It was so nice out, and finally there are now more patches of snow to be seen on the ground. Although, I think I was the only one who was happy about that. Sully and I had lots of short little stops, and a little walking break to cool down towards the end. But, overall we got in some good exercise. When we got home, I gave him some of his treats before saying goodbye. He watched me from the window as I made my way towards my car. Great job today Sully!

I was surprised Sully didn't come home with grass stains on himself because he did a baseball style slide onto some grass for a big happy roll. He also has a surprisingly giant bladder that must have been full because he wanted to mark all of the street lamps on the first half of the run. Haha. He was a super boy and the temperature was great. Thanks Sully! The Scoop: too many pees, 1 poop. Runner: Jessica   Sully……has Mom arranged an adventure for you!! Thursday was no regular run for Mr. Happy Pants. It turned into 5 days of a Puppy Party. Sully and his DGR Mates, Ennis & Huxley hit the ski slopes of 12 Mile Coulee to get the fun meter smoking. Then, the party bus (Michelle’s Mini Van) transported the boys to check into the B & B. Otherwise known as Michelle’s Bones & Bark Inn. They all had so much fun. Sully and his BFF Huxley were inseparable. I can vouch for that because I was never alone once in the bathroom. The party bus hit Nosehill, a few off-leash parks and lots of backyard patio socializing. When Sully’s Mom picked him up today, he just sat on my front step and tried hard to muster up the energy to walk down the sidewalk one more time. Those long weekend benders creep up on you, hey Sir Silly Sully. Xo Xo

The Boyzzz are back together. Ennis and Sully swung by and picked up their mate Hux Pup. Oh ya, Sully drives, just ask him! Every time I leave the driver's seat, he is in it in a flash. To say these boyzz were happy to see each other would be a huge understatement.😁 Thank goodness the snow in the coulee was over 2 feet deep. The ‘bouncies’ fizzled out at the half-way mark. Distance may not look too far but it was 100% resistance training the entire way. I was hoping the boyzz would be too tired to notice I forgot the Benny Bully Liver treats at home. A little angel saved me - thanks to Huxley’s Mom for packing the eco-size bag in Huxley’s suitcase. Everyone back to Aunty Michelle’s B & B (Bones and Bark) 😂. The Doggy Business Report: all the boyzzz had many pees. Sully had 2 poops and so did Huxley. Runner: Michelle   Sir Smiling Silly Sully came for a visit. This poor boy was surrounded by female dogs almost the entire time he was with us. He had one Boyzz day with his old pal DGR Huxley & Ennis. Then it was back to Girls Girls Girls! We had several off-leash adventures to Nosehill where Sully rolled and rolled in the dry dirt. At one point, he was totally grey in colour and had the biggest grin on his face. I think he wanted to dye his pristine white coat the same colour as Aoife’s. His first choice to share the couch with was little Ellie on many afternoons and his favourite gal to relax and hang out with was Sophie. His first choice for adventure was with Aoife. Sully was the Apple of our AARCS Foster Febby’s (February) eye. She would catch a glimpse of Sully and like a shot be after him and just had to give him a kiss. Sully did not share the same ‘passion’ she had, but was a very good sport being the older gentlemen to this young pup. As Sully walked out the door with Mom & Dad today to go home, I could tell he was ready to rest from his busy holiday at Aunty Michelle’s B & B (Barks and Bones). Ha Ha. Hope to see you soon smiley one.

Meeting Teddy First time running with Teddy and I really enjoyed it. He’s so calm and quiet that I had to keep looking down at him to see that he was still there. We hit up some the best photo spots in Auburn Bay. He’s a very good model and would sit right away anytime he was asked. He kept a really good consistent pace, other than to check out all the good marking places but what dog doesn’t check those out. I’m excited to see him again next week. The Scoop: 3 pees, 0 poops.

The Boyzzz are reunited! When Huxley, Sully and Ennis realized that they were all going out together, the energy was on ‘high’. They completely forgot who I was. ‘Michelle who?’ The coulee was Doggy Disneyland for this gang. There was running water in the creek, muddy trails to rip up and down on AND still some snow patches for snow cones. After all that fun, the boyzzz remembered I was with them. ‘Oh ya, she is the one to drive us home’. The Doggy Business Report: Huxley had 1 poop, Sully had 2 poops and Ennis had 1 poop. Oodles of pees for each boy. Runner: Michelle DGR RUN OF THE DAY

Sully and I made our way down to the Bow River pathway this fine spring morning. We made a few brief stops, one of which was when I was tossing out a poop bag in a garbage bin and Sully found a small patch of ice to roll around on. We turned back around after crossing over the pedestrian bridge underneath Crowchild Trail. It wobbled a little under our feet as we ran across it. Our pace was pretty consistent the whole way, even as we made our way back home and had to run up all the hills leading back to 17th Avenue from the river. Great job today Sully!
