morning run:
Gowron
Monkey
Daisy
Linda
Amber
Steve McQueen
Mega
Zoot
(8)

To the swimming hole via the land-bridge, ridge, cut-over and intersection, south across the bag-end land bridge, north on the palapa road to the Au Soleil Couchant road, west to the middle north/south access road, south, west and south again to the parallel road and home the way I came home yesterday: ~8k. What a great group. PupG, Monkey and Daisy continue to shine as puppy-guides. This was Daisy and Linda's first outing since surgery and they were both really ready to go, almost comically so. Linda has got to be the cutest thing on the road - on any road, anywhere; even so she's turning into a cardio dog like Ziggy and PupG. Amber, McQueen, Mega and Zoot were all great and had a really good time while still listening well; I made sure to work with all of them on paying attention to me and staying with the group.
