morning run:
Ginger
Gracie
Eve
Blue
Posey
Chester
Lily
Daisy
(8)
Around the southern charcos to the road to no-man's land, north on the palapa road to the Au Soleil Couchant road and home via the trails behind the tortuga crossroads: ~9k. Fast group. I had Chester on the hook for the first ~1km because I'm tired of him dusting me right at the beginning all the time; he was good when I let him off and didn't get so far ahead. I had Gracie on in the usual spots (she swears it is no longer necessary and that she has reformed). We saw nobody but a lone bird-trapper on a moto out to the north and everyone was good about it. It was nice not having to worry about anyone at all on a run for a change.
GRADE: A
morning walks:
Bette
Archie
Luna
Stella
Mo
(5)
Jenni took these out during the morning for her now-usual loop around the monte and the beach. First she took Bette by herself, who has not developed a limp recently; I think this means that as long as she walks on a leash and can't run around like a lunatic she can go out. Next Archie and Luna went out, and finally Stella and Mo. Everyone was really good on the leash and had fun in the monte and the water.
GRADE: A
afternoon walks:
Molly
Luna
Ziggy
Henry
Tito
Linda
Zasu*
Miles*
Greta*
Gowron
Shirley
(11)
Jenni's batch of afternoon walks. First were Molly, Luna and Ziggy, all of whom were good; Ziggy was off the leash. Luna had gone earlier but was still crazy to go on another one, so what the hell - she's really good on the leash. Next: Henry, Tito and Linda and again all were good; in fact Jenni said that Linda was the best. Next came Zasu, Miles, Greta and Gowron; Greta left on a harness but dug her heels in at the shrimpery so Jenni had to come back with her. Zasu came back on her own but when Roni told her she should go on and have fun with Jenni Zasu understood and went back after her - pretty cool (she ended up coming back yet again and staying this time but it was nice that she had a good time). Also amazing that Miles went with her... he, too, ended up coming home on his own but it is nice that he went out. PupG was excellent, sticking by Jenni through the various changes; she left with Greta, came back when Jenni did to drop her off and then left with Jenni again, happy as a clam. Roni sent Shirley out with them after Greta came back, so the third walk was four dogs, one of whom was on the leash (just a different dog in each version). The dogs obviously love Jenni.
