Today was a bit hectic, almost as if the dogs knew it was a day to be excited and look for treats.
The first team was really excited to go , but it took a few stops (with the brake on)
to actually get going. They had been leaping and screaming and three of the five were tangled at takeoff. We ran 3.1 miles with the first team. Since it's up and down good hills, these are equivalent to a six mile run, I believe. (Lillen, Sherpa (who was moved to wheel), Zoom, Medio and Kiddo). Their treats were chicken and salami.
The second team (in photo) took off so smoothly I was actually about a mile into it when I realized I was daydreaming. A deer leaped out but the dogs didn't flinch. What a dream team (for today anyway). We ran 2.6 miles because Liller was tiring, although willing to go on. (Liller, Ruthie,Buffy, Rosie and Herman). Their treats were salmon and salami.
Miles are slow to accumulate but the continued hookups are good incentive for the dogs.
There were a few nice free runs for other dogs. Tomorrow we'll get Frita's family harnessed.
Frita has a bad hip, but she's a great leader and loves to run with her 'kids'.
