morning run:
Truman
Chester
Archie
Reggie
Ernie
Rufus
Ziggy
Jack
(8)

Hidden trail: ~8k. They were as good on the rest of the run as they were noisy getting out of the gate. I let Rufus off the hook at the torguta crossroads on the way out (we took the long way); he has to leave on the leash just to make him focus on running but once he's over his initial excitement he's an angel. This is the second recent run that Chester and Ziggy have attended together and they were good. Chester doesn't like to run too close to Ziggy but he's also a thousand times faster than Ziggy so it isn't much of an issue. Everyone swam a lot at the swimming hole and in the ocean. I put Rufus and Ernie on either end of the leash for the trail home and it worked out well.

morning walk:
Zasu
Miles
Henry
Tito
Blue
Eve
Lily
Lucy
(8)

Roni took this crew out for a jaunt to the land bridge and environs. Lily left on the leash to keep her from running off too fast; she managed to slip her collar and ran down to the shrimpery and back with Eve and Blue but they were all back to Roni on the trail before she had gone very far. Miles did his usual screwing around early on but cleaned his act up with some encouragement from Roni. Everyone but Zasu, Tito and Henry rolled in some awful poo and had to be hosed off on arrival; they all looked pleased and proud of themselves.

All I had time for. Shirley really just wanted to get out and harass lizards but she had a good time. It was ridiculously shallow but everyone managed.
