Wednesday Mid-July river

 Dixie and my dad meet me down at the river at 11

Walking down to the river Dixie ran in once we got there.


The dog and I enjoyed our time, met other dogs names coco and Luna were there and another down name velcro at another time later on.

Dixie shared pleasantries and sniff and run up tail wagging.


They ran around for a bit.


I never got a photo of velcro. But he was tail wagging also up on the pathway.


My dad walked half way out in the river, it stayed shallow all the way there.  Further out it appeared to come up to the knees.  We talked of the film on the rocks 🪨 that isn’t algae but comes off the fields since pincher creek, brocket, fort mc cloud, then Lethbridge gets a a turn at it, it’s some kind of phosphate or ammonia that’s covering the rocks 🪨 makes them a bit slippery.

Closer to the 🐦‍⬛ crowsnestpass there is none of that on the rocks 🪨. At least one wonders. The water does get warmer by the time it’s here.


The other day the parents came by and gave Kim a shirt 👚 by riding there bikes 🚲 over, we sat out front for a bit . That happened Monday.



This blogged is queued til the end of day.




Mark meets Bryan and I in the river bottom, Bryan got there first. We spent nearly 2 hours in the river, an awesome 😎 time.


Took the umbrella ☂️ for the dog 🐕, she seems to get hotter than every one else in the sun. ☀️ 

She stayed right by the umbrella ☂️ for the most part.

An enjoyable experience out in the river, Mark

Mentions how quiet 🤫 it is in the river compaired to Lethbridge. It really is, a different place than the rest of Lethbridge here.

I enjoyed seeing mark and Bryan, there great 😊 company.  It’s a pleasure to spend time with both  Mark and Bryan. 

Bryan was laying in the river at the beginning, the dog played ball 🏀 for the first part and then put the ball on shore, Dixie got so water logged she just sat in the river with us after ball 🏀.

I think she tired 😴 from all the sun ☀️ we got.



It sounds like you had a great time down at the river with Dixie, your dad, and the other dogs Coco, Luna, and Velcro. It's wonderful to enjoy the outdoors and spend quality time with loved ones. The river bottom seems like a peaceful place to relax and cool off, especially on a hot day. It's nice that you took care of Dixie by bringing an umbrella for shade - dogs can easily get overheated in the sun. 


It's also interesting to hear about the conversation regarding the film on the rocks and how the water temperature changes as you get closer to different areas. It's always fascinating to observe these natural phenomena.


I'm glad you had such a pleasant experience with Mark and Bryan in the river bottom as well. It's always great to have good company while enjoying nature.

Dixie activity minutes are great 😊 she is enjoying my days off from work.




She never 👎 💤 slept good last night, although I think that’s an error cause I had to charge it for a day. To keep the tracker charged 🔌 I think that’s why it says her sleep schedule was messed, I think I put it on her yesterday some time or the day before, so her week average is different. But we’re keeping up with the active lifestyle for her and she’s still above average of active minutes.

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...
