morning walk:
Alice
Ginger
Gracie
Blue
Rita
Ernie
Molly
Zoila
(8)

I took this group for a walk to and on the beach for the most part. We headed north to the shack, cut across the charcos and arrived at the tortuga sign in fairly quick order. Zoila was off the leash for the early part of the walk and was really good. I had Ernie on the leash early to keep him from punching himself out with his manic enthusiasim and this worked well... I let him off on the beach and he was great for the rest of the way. We went south down the beach from the tortuga sign and cut back into the monte at the maginot line; we were barked at dutifully by the dogs at the HoJo and Zoila paid them no attention. As we crossed doce I got her on the leash and this worked out well for the rest of the way home. She wanted to pull but that's better than sitting down and refusing to walk. In fact she lightened up on the pulling by the time we got to the shrimpery and enjoyed herself on the leash. Everyone else was really good the whole way to the gate.
