Another odd group, but it worked out well. We did the southern 10k, via a slightly different route than normal; we crossed over one more charco than we usually do before heading south, and we didn't go the entire way to the Au Soleil Couchant road, opting to cross the big charco at a man-made berm and head around through the shire. We ran into one of "los profesionales", heading south on his moto as we were heading north, and the dogs all acquitted themselves perfectly by larking around in the charco quietly while we talked for a couple of seconds. Nobody made a move towards him or barked. Lily and Frijolita had a good time paling around with each other. Lily deserves special mention for showing constant improvement in listening and behaving herself when we're out there; she likes to run fast, but she'll always come back when called, and understands that when I tell her "no" it means "no, don't go chase those flamingos". The sisters kept up well and had fun.
