morning run:
Alice
Eve
George
Frankie
Ernie
Maggie
Ziggy
Monkey
Tori
(9)

To the beach at Au Soleil Couchant: ~6k (maybe 7k but probably not, have to look): I threw Eve in at the last minute even though that brought us to nine because she's so good and she really wanted to go... in reality I should consider Tori the ninth dog since she goes so often. Maggie lagged a little towards the end and Alice and George screwed around a lot sniffing stuff but overall this was a good group. Everyone swam as much as they could and stayed together. Tori was out of her mind on the coco trail heading out and ran the entire distance before she finally turned around to come back to me when I called her all the way at the other end; this did not make me happy so I put her on the leash there and a couple of other times and called her name a lot to keep her honest. No harm no foul and she shaped up after a few hundred meters on the leash.

Roni took this group out into the monte for a walk north of the dead goat trail. Lucy ignored her and went back to jump into the filthy water in the drainage ditch at the end of the coco trail on the way home; especially irritating since she had managed to keep all of the dogs out of that ditch the whole way until that point. The bugs were bad but not as bad as they have been and everyone looked proud of themselves when they got home.
