DISTANCE: 12K DURATION: 2 hour 25 minutes

I did not want to miss out on my last run with Talus and Bowen on Global Running Day but there was little running today and lots of speed-walking due to by cracked rib. This morning I was definitely in a ton of pain but when I see Tally and Bobo's faces, it makes me want to laugh although that hurts. I gave each pup roughly a hour together and I took Talus first when it was cooler out and I gave this senior lots of sniffing time. Bobo was up next and he was confused why I was not running but soon settled in.  We had quite the concert with all the birds singing by the marshy lakes.  We also spotted several red-winger orioles.  I am not a birder so I think that is the name of that bird. Talus and Bowen definitely helped ease some pain for me.  thanks darling pups!  The Scoop: 2 poops for both Bowen and Tally and a ton of pees.

Mountain Views and A Red Windmill with Tally & Bobo

DGR RUN OF THE DAY

 DISTANCE: 7K  DURATION: 1 hour

It was a beautiful day out with Tally and Bobo!  I switched it up today.   Bobo went first with a brisk run and a good hill stretch by the C train station. I was grateful that Bobo pulled me up that hill.  Haha! There was only one instance of Bobo being scared over the fake red windmill in the neighbourhood. That was no surprise as it was spinning pretty fast today with this wind. Tally was next. It was a slower pace for the cute girl. She took a minute to sit and enjoy the gorgeous mountain views. The Scoop: 1 poop each, many pees.

It was a beautiful winter scene today. Bo walked, explored, jogged, and hugged a lot. He would stop and hug me when he heard the snowblowers or the robins chirping. Bo was a good model in the snow and I couldn't resist taking a photo of his heart patch on his hind leg. He is so beautiful 😍!  The Scoop: 15+ pees, 2 poops

Today, I was the Lucky Duck to take Bowen out for his hour run. Speaking of ducks, there were so many ducks out and about to dodge. We came across about 15 or so in a field.  Bowen was a perfect gentleman.  I thought it was appropriate to pose him next to a fence with a duck on it (see photo).  We veered off to various lake trails whenever we spotted these gorgeous areas  I just love cattails and Bobo's neighbourhood.  Thanks again to the great start to the day Mr. Bowen!  The Scoop: 1 poop and of course, too many pees to count!

I think 4C is the perfect running temperature!  I divided today's run up with Talus going first as she barked the loudest to get outside.  She was speedy to start but I tried slowing her down as her mind is willing but her body less so.   She did great and ran/walked just under 5K.  Bobo was up next and we followed a similar route so we have some identical photos (i.e. the teepee fort).  I did  end up going longer with Bobo who is the younger brother.  It was funny though because he had a few stops just to give me hugs!  One word for this outing: Perfection!  The Scoop: 2 poops for Talus and many pees.  Bowen had 1 poop and many pees as well!

A Tail/Tale of Two Dog Runs

DISTANCE: 8.7 km DURATION: 1 hour 20 minutes

This morning was perfect weather to take Talus and Bowen out on their run.  As discussed with their mom, I took them out separately and although we almost did the same running route, the experiences were quite different.  Senior Talus still has the runner inside her and starts out quick.  She actually almost did the same distance as Bowen (4K). So while Tally starts out hot and fast and slows down, Bowen starts out slower with many stops to mark his turf and then gets faster. He had some major sprints at the end of this run and I don't think he was completely tired at the finish. Yes, it was a different tale for each dog. I love these pups so thanks for the Friday frolic!  The Scoop: 1 poop each and tons of pees.

Whenever I run Talus and Bowen, I get nostalgic.  Talus was one of the first pups I ran on a regular basis and she is dear to my heart.  That said, Bobo was also laying on lots of kisses this morning.    We went at Talus' pace to start and then I got in some extra one-on-one-time with Bobo who is still a speedy boy ad has energy to burn.. We made it to my favourite of the 5 lakes  where the cattails flourish and the birch trees are aplenty.  What a great way to start the morning.  The Scoop: 1 poop for Bowen and a bazillion pees between the two pups.

With yesterday being American Thanksgiving, it was a day to count my blessings so I thought it only appropriate to pose Bowen next to that sentiment. I have not seen this athletic pup for a long time and we usually have his sister Talus join us so it was kinda fun to have one-on-one time with him. The conditions were ideal for running and we made a tour around 5 lakes with their cattails and birch trees.. We ran a steady pace except when we saw squirrels and that called for a full out sprint. Bobo was so sweet as my shoelace came undone. a few times and he gave me kisses as I retied them.   Thanks Bobo; this run was a blessing!  The Scoop: 1 poop and too many pees to count.

In the good old days, I used to run Talus on a regular basis and we did a fast 10K.  Today marks her 8th birthday so although she loves running, I could tell she needed more breaks.  Her brother Bowen, on the other hand, gave me a couple of sprint starts to say let's pick up the pace.  I think we found a good middle ground for the pups.   I also went around 2 of the 5 lakes in the area and we enjoyed the freshly rained newness of the day.  At the end, I got some birthday kisses from Talus.  Bobo also gave me a kiss.  So great seeing you two.  Enjoy the birthday celebration!
The Scoop:  2 poops for Tally and 1 poop for Bowen.  A bazillion pees.

It was very nice to meet Talus and Bobo today! The smoke was pretty bad (we couldn't even see COP from the top of the big hill - yuck!) so we adjusted speed and took some more breaks. The dogs were having a peeing contest to see who could make the most marks along our way, Haha. There was some giant dragonflies that followed us for a ways and a pretty cool hawk by the bridge that we took pictures of. Thanks for the run! The Scoop: both lots of pees, 0 poops.

​Surprise visit with Tally and Bobo to end of the week! Today we found a more scenic route around fields, lakes and a mountain view the whole time. We took a bit of time getting ready so we tagged a few extra minutes onto our run. Bobo and Talus were wonderful getting lots of sniffs between sprints. Near the end Bobo got some zoomies and so Talus and I had to increase our pace a bit so we didn't get pulled all over the place. I dropped the pups off but wished I could stay longer with them. Enjoy your weekend! The Scoop: Both dogs had a poop and many pees.

It was a great run with Talus and Bowen this morning! Talus and Bowen were both happy to see me and excited to enjoy some warmer weather. We had a fairly steady pace for our run today, and ran some hills to add some spice to our morning. As well, we made sure to have lots of pee and sniff breaks to catch our breath. Talus and Bowen were extremely well behaved today! They got complimented on their good behaviour by a passerby saying “What great puppies”. The Scoop: 5 or more pees for Talus and Bowen.

Today I got to meet the notorius Bumpin' Bobo and Tally'ho Talus! These two are little bundles of energy. They toured me around the neighbourhood and took many pees while I checked the map. We made a nice loop and saw many parks with skating rinks and paths to zig-zag through. The conditions were chilly, icy and salty so we had to take some stops to brush off the paws and tried to run in the snow when possible. At the end, Tally and I were ready to head home but Bobo could have probably done another lap or two . Such a cute duo. I hope I get to meet them again. The Scoop: Bobo  had a zillion pees, one poop.  Tally also  had a zillion pees and one poop.

​Monday blues are definitely not a thing when you get to start your day off with Talus and Bowen! These two peas in a pod were exactly the kind of energy and happiness that I think everyone needs on a Monday! The sun was shining and the mountains were glowing; giving us a beautiful view on our run. Talus and Bowen’s sense of smell was definitely on point today as we had to stop what felt like a million times to have a sniff. And of course as peas in a pod go, when one pup had to pee, so did the other. Photos were a little bit more difficult to get today as all the doggies wanted to do was smell everything. But the sense of smell comes in handy because Tally and Bobo sure do know their neighbourhood well. They knew all of the turns they needed to take on our way home. Thanks for another great start to the day you two! The Scoop: 0 poops, but a million and a half pees.

What a perfect start to the weekend with Talus and Bowen today! The two doggies were eager to get out moving as soon as I arrived, and lead the way the whole run! This was my first solo run with DGR, and thank goodness I had the pleasure of running with Tally and Bobo because they sure are sweet gems to spend time with. I could tell that they are true ski dogs because any chance Talus had to make some fresh tracks in the powder, she took! We went for a fun adventure, getting to know the neighbourhood and searching for as much fresh pow as we could! There were so many moments that I caught myself smiling because either the doggies were attached at the hip, or smiling themselves, and that is such a sweet feeling! Happy Weekend Talus and Bowen! Looking forward to our run on Monday.  The Scoop: 2 poops for both, and many pees.
