morning run:
Alice
Lucy
Ginger
George
Ernie
Reggie
Frankie
(7)

Good group. Reggie was on the leash quite a bit as a preventative measure, since he wounded himself so badly on his last outing several weeks ago. He's all healed up now and we want it to stay that way, so he was either on the leash or not out of my sight (I let him off to go jump in the charcos and screw around a bit... he is a dog, after all). We basically did the Lollipop route: down to the tortuga sign access road, then east into the monte in a great circle coming out at Au Soleil Couchant, back into the monte at the tortuga sign and home the way we came. There was no wind, so the bugs were back, but it wasn't as bad as it has been recently (still pretty bad, though). Lots of flamingos, very few people. Nice run.

mid-day swim:
Zasu
Greta
Gowron
Ziggy
Molly
(5)

Getting back in the saddle after a little bit of a lay-off. Zasu was not her usual enthusiastic self, but she did swim a fair amount. Greta did 7 hard laps. Everyone else was ridiculously cute and had a good time; Molly swam especially well, and is becoming quite a water dog. Water was a bit cloudy, bugs bad at times, still beautiful and fun for all.
