To the tortuga sign and back: ~4k. Tuesday and Tupo were both on leashes the whole way. The first 2k might be some kind of personal record - Tuesday really wanted to run and Tupo was right there with her, but it was Shirley that set the pace and she was on some kind of mission. We finally stopped at the end of the blue.bag trail and I kept us a little closer from there on. I had intended to head north on the beach a bit but when we got to the tortuga sign Nicole was just to the north with her charges. As before the only one who actually bothered to run all the way to her to say hi was Shirley, who seems to love their terriers... kinda cute but she didn't listen very well and took her time getting back to me. Everyone else was fine, except Tupo who definitely did not like the look of strange people or dogs - something to work on. He also wasn't crazy about the look of the ocean, but in his defense it was pretty ugly: it was already starting to get churned up from a storm that's blowing in from gulf and he isn't crazy about water to begin with. When Shirley got back to me I decided to just take us back into the monte and we ended up taking more or less the same route home, perhaps a tad slower. Tupo drank from the bottle a couple of times. Everyone had a great time.
