Up the beach to Au Soleil Couchant and back: ~4k. Archie has had a persistent limp in his front right leg for a couple of months now; it clears up but then he re-injures it or does something to aggravate it and it comes back. He hadn't been out for a while as a result of this so I let him come on a short one with lots of swimming. He did have a limp within 30min of coming home so we are definitely taking him to the vet next trip... still he enjoyed it immensely and at least he swam a lot. Everyone else also had a great time and behaved themselves. Rufus left on the leash but I let him off just past the HoJo and put him on around there coming home. Everyone was really enthusiastic, had a good time, played and swam the whole way up and down the beach and didn't give chase to the strays that barked at us on the way home.

Puppy.liebschen deserves a medal for becoming such a good swimmer. It really isn't her favorite activity but she's come to accept that she has to do it and is pretty good at it now compared to when she started.
