morning walk:
Bette
Blue
Gowron
Monkey
Linda
Amber
Zoot
Nico
(8)

Roni took this crew out for a fast, long walk in the monte to the east. For the fourth time in a row Amber was off the leash almost the whole way, including at the end all the way to the gate. This is real progress. Roni leaves with her on the leash just to hold her up a bit at the beginning, but her "paranoia" seems to be gone or at least a lot less intense. Zoot also has calmed down a bit and was good about staying with her. Nico loves Roni so much it is wonderful to watch - it doesn't occur to her to do anything but stay with Roni, except when she has to spazz out a bit with her playmates. Monkey and PupG had to be rinsed when they got home, they were disgusting from the charcos but quite pleased with themselves.

beach run:
Otto
Rufus
Jack
Daisy
Tupo
(5)

Au Soleil Couchant: 4k. I took these five for a fast one up and down the beach. Tupo ran his ass off on the edge of the bluff for the first 300m, obviously wanting nothing to do with the splashy shenanigans of his runningmates but by all means keeping up with the program. Rufus and Daisy had a lot of fun swimming and everyone had a good time hauling ass in general.
