(8)

Yeah, yeah, eight, damn. Ernie's fat. Molly's fat. This was a pretty good group, but not great, mainly due to Ernie's mania. He's just out of his fat little mind. Although everyone generally did very well and had a good time, there were a couple points where I was unhappy with Ernie (running too far ahead, being too much of an idiot), Molly (running ahead, barking a bit too much at a truck although it was in good fun), and Lily (running ahead). All of them do listen, though, and they all come back to me all the way without fighting me when I make them. Ernie and Lily were both on the leash for stretches, and that helped. Molly really needs leash training, and that's not the first time I've said that here. We left early today and did the long and winding road backwards, which is basically 10k. It was cold last night and well into the morning; those first ~2km hurt on bare feet, but everyone was invigorated by the chill and it seemed like we really ran it quickly. Ernie seemed especially quick, and we had more than a half of the water left when we got home.
