morning run:
Posey
Truman
Rufus
Jack
Lily
Molly
Mo
Tori
(8)

Hidden trail: ~8k. We went via the swimming hole after cutting north from the dead goat trail. We left with nobody on the leash but Rufus was out of his mind in the first 100m so I put him on the leash before we were past the shrimpery and he stayed on until he calmed down; he really cannot control his excitement and needs the leash to remind him what's going on. Everyone on this run behaved themselves well. We ran into vehicles and people and there was not a hint of misbehavior. The bugs were terrible but we kept a decent pace and jumped in lots of puddles (well, the dogs did). The ocean was nice but the tabanos were horrible; everyone swam a lot on the way to the tortuga sign. It felt like we brought a cloud of bugs back with us that slammed into the screens downstairs as we scampered for cover but maybe it was just me (I do occasionally scamper).

Tito
Lucy
Bette
Blue
Monkey

Roni bravely took this crew out into the bugs; she said she thought maybe the had died down a bit since I got back from the run but they still own the monte most of the time during this part of the year. Miles was not so much of a jerk and everyone did well crossing the road and had a nice time in general.

morning swim:
Greta

I know it's the last trip out when the tabanos finally have a fix on us and follow us out no matter how far I drag Greta into the ocean; they are diabolical and Greta is an angel.
