Northern charcos: ~9k. Amber sat this one out for some reason; we tried to get her to come out but she didn't want to, so Lily jumped in instead. Tuesday was on the leash the whole time and was good. Ziggy had a really hard time past the ~6k mark; I ended up carrying him the better part of 500m total in a couple stages. I don't know if the humidity was really affecting him, if he needs a haircut worse than we think or if he isn't feeling well but in the past he has gone the distance on 10k runs without a whimper and today he was really gassed. Maybe he's just getting old - he should probably get a blood test. Ziggy's troubles made this outing take far longer than it would've normally - the rest of this group is blazing fast. Still they were all really good, stayed with me, did not bark at people or chase motos and at least didn't make a difficult situation any worse by bad behavior.
