morning run:
Alice
Blue
Eve
Frijolita
Elewah
Ziggy
Monkey
Floyd
(8)

Relatively short one late, again. There were people working right on the land bridge, so we diverted down the dirty road to the alternate land bridge, then headed back south on the ridge (recently burned), ducked over to the main road and headed south all the way to the last turn east, to the terreno federal serpentine, the intersection, the tortuga sign, down the beach and home via the maginot line: around ~7k, I'm honestly not sure as I've never done it that way before. Floyd needed a couple breathers under the bushes, but Alice kept up surprisingly well. The ocean was a little chilly. Elewah took her sweet time coming back in afterwards, but it was harmless. Everyone was good.

morning swim:
Greta
Daisy
(2)

Greta did 8 laps, in two groups of four punctuated by my chasing Daisy down and making her go in... at first Daisy wanted to swim with us and came out to get us a couple of times, but then she started to want to wander north on the beach, so I cut that off. Otherwise all good. Daisy just needs more work, that's all - leash time would be good.

afternoon walk:
Zasu
Miles
Henry
Tito
Tuesday
Reggie
(6)

Roni and got out together for a walk to the apocalyptic cove with this group. It was windy and at the same time strangely muffled out there - sounds from birds and vehicles took on a strange quality as we ambled about. Tuesday was on the leash the whole way and was very good. Reggie was tickled to go out with mom, and was never out of sight. Everyone else behaved themselves and had a good time, and Ilana held the fort down at home, so we had a howl-free half hour. Nice.
