jogging to campus
enjoying the beautiful day

dogs: Dexter, Dobky, Marley, Sarge/Bob/Calder
Yesterday I took everyone but Grazie (3 family + 4 foster dogs) for a quick jog around University Place. Harley had a seizure early the next morning so I thought it might have been too much for him. Today I went on a longer jog to campus with only six of the dogs (3 family + 3 foster). It was comfortable. I kept my guys on the left and the fosters on my right and they all did well. Bob, of course, lives to run and always pushes me. Dobky is often in trail but sometimes comes up with the others. I keep a close eye on Dexter because I always wonder how he'll do with others on the trail but we passed and were passed a few times and he ran right along like a gentleman. O.k....there were a couple bunnies and a squirrel that ran in front of us. That did cause a bit of excitement but it was easily managed.
The dogs do fine even though we're running in 80F weather. We stopped half way and had some drinks but most of the dogs were not interested. (Dobky was happy to drink from my bottle.) I'm looking forward to going on longer runs as the weather cools and the dogs get the rhythm.
