morning walks:
Greta
Shirley
Linda
Henry
Tuesday
Gowron
Luna
(7)

M&J took these out in two groups. First was Greta, Shriley and Linda who all came back wet and happy; Jagoda persuaded Linda to let her cut all the xmuls out of her coat from yesterday's jaunt, which is a great victory, so we celebrated by letting her go out again right away. Next were Henry, Tuesday, PupG and Luna; Henry and PupG were off the leash and all were good and had a good time.

swims:
Lucy
Gowron
Twiggy
Bette
(4)

I demonstrated how I usually take dogs swimming for exercise when the ocean is calm with Lucy as my foil; M&J got in the water with us and sort of teased and poked her into going out and coming back several times before she became irritated with us and we let her out; we let PupG be out with us and swim on her own which suited her just fine. After Lucy came back in M&J took Twiggy and Bette out for their own extended swims; PupG thought about staying out with them but decided to come back in with me instead. Both Twiggy and Bette chased M&J around in the water for a long time and obviously had fun.
