morning run:
Oscar
Otto
Archie
Chester
Rufus
Truman
Rita
Elewah
(8)

Longest run ever (13k according to Google Earth). We went north until we finally hit the access road just to the south of Playa Maya (maybe 200m south), took it down to the beach, then south 4k to the tortuga sign and back home via the monte: a super-sized Lollipop run. It turns out they do work the salt charcos that far out, and it sure looked like tough going to me. The dogs were all angels and had a lot of fun. I was fairly wrecked on the beach, but I managed to pull it together by the tortuga sign. It is really beautiful out there. Bugs were pretty bad in spots.
GRADE: A

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

Greta did 7 laps like a champ and even larked around a little. Zasu swam quite a lot, getting a bit of her mojo back; she stayed out later than everyone else. Maggie does not listen well, and she and Ziggy also distract each other a bit too much, but they still did well and swam a lot. PupG was an angel, although she is easily influenced (*cough* MAGGIE).
GRADE: B
