Friday after work

 Dixie, my dad and I sit in the river after work.


A day well done 👍,  I get down to the river and sit in the sun. ☀️ hiding Dixie under the umbrella ☂️ at times so she doesn’t over heat.


My dad walks half way out to the river.  Goes up to his chest and then thinks he needs a walking stick to walk across.  Or he’d be swimming. 🏊 at first glance he thinks he could just walk across.



The dog 🐕 ran up to two women wading in the river by us. She is a fun 🐕 dog.  We called her back and held onto her for a bit before she decided to stay near by.

I layed down in the river a bunch of times. To cool 😎 down. Then sat in the chair Dixie beside me.


Her collar plastic part broke on one latch. So I’m looking for the box 📦 it came in cause there was some spare plastic for it to hold it together.


Dixie sitting under the umbrella ☂️ coming to my call, she listens very good 😊. But she always wants to stay close to me.


Walking back after just over an hour in the river.  I had a great day out there today.


Dixie is ranked 28 out of 50 dogs 🐕 she doing great 😊 for active minutes.



114 active minutes she almost reached her goals for today.  And kept a good behaviour while there.  





Her 💤 is suffering this week, I don’t know if it’s cause it was so hot 🥵 or if it was when I took it off to charge and that’s what’s the based on the last seven days that it’s looking weirder than weird.  I think usually she is always 😊 for sleeping but it’s good to see the difference in a week.  I haven’t seen any behavioural changes this week. She has been a delightful dog to be around.

In all, I had a wonderful day at the river! Spending time outdoors and enjoying the sunshine is always refreshing, and it's great to hear that Dixie is doing well and staying active. 


It’s good to know that she listens to you and enjoys being close by; that bond is special. I hope you find the spare plastic piece for her collar soon! 


Regarding her sleep, sometimes temperature or activity levels can affect a dog's rest patterns. As long as she's still behaving well and seems happy, that's a positive sign. It’s nice to hear that she’s been a delightful companion. Enjoy many more days like this with her! 🌞🐕

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour 🏃‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  🏃‍♂️ Dixie and I go for a run, redo a hill run down and up again. Kim picks me up after I climb the hill, I called her and asked since I was over my hour mark, originally I wanted to do 9 km in an hour but I managed to do six km instead.  I think it was the hill climb that did it.  I ran fully down hill no problem 😌 We made good time.  For a hill run 🏃‍♂️   It looks like it will be 13 Celsius by noon but it feels warmer in the sun. ☀️  I took a picture by the usual spot that judge where the river is from other years and with that rain the last couple days it definitely looks a lot better than what it was a few weeks ago Dixie went off leash for a bit and went to the river. Must’ve been cold. I think for April water dip. I managed to bring my VO2 max up to good 😊 today, it’s the first time I’ve put it in the green since owning my second Garmin. So my goal right now is to get an endurance score over 5099 To move past ...

Walk mid October with my Mom

  Walks with my mom The water looks like glass just crystal smooth.  My mom and I are walking to the river and in life. It’s like we’re always walking away.  Getting closer to the end, my poet mind says.   I say I got to enjoy these walks and I was silent most the walk just trying to enjoy 😊 my time with her. Or walk end more so with 🐾 paw printed pants 👖 from dogs jumping.  We say maybe a dozen dogs 🐕. A wonderful time.  I often thought it was too early to spell like alcohol.  But surprised to pass another walker, but each to their own I probably smell like an ashtray. Although I never smoked or chewed tobacco on my walk.  I just want to walk with my mom.  Often times I don’t think I could spit out everything I wanted to say so much so that I just said in these moments you don’t have to chew tobacco and say anything. Dixie and both us individually by the fallen tree arch. A path going to the river, under which most the trees 🌳 there are...

Walk and a run in to the vet

 Another adventure for Dixie,  she is an expensive dog….🐕 We enjoy 😊 our walks. Up top of the coulee you can see the university  Sonny and I go walking the south side dog park,  it tricky terrain for sure.  It’s nice 😊 for the scenery I think, yet a bit treacherous at times.  A person has to be careful let alone a dog 🐕 being careful. Here is Sonny and I smiling giving a thumbs up to the camera 📸  The walk was decent though some difficult 😞 parts for today, Dixie is on a 14 day hiatus from walking.  She’ll probably want to go sooner rather than later. I think we’re stuck to just five minute poop 💩 walks than the hour or two hour walks we usually do. I’m unsure when it happen but my guess is near the end of the walk when I noticed it. Dixie gets to close to the bushes today, I kept looking her over but noticed a different spot on her at the end of our walk.   Dixie goes through some bushes and gouged a piece out of her. Now Dixie has th...
