Finally, today is Sunday, October 15th... our first runs. Of course, we ran short and only ran two teams (ten dogs), but we gave them all hope! All the dogs were cheering as we took off and returned.
The first run leader honors went to Skinny and Buffy. Skinny was happy to be chosen, for sure, as was Buffy. Skinny, one more time, demonstrated how well he listens and leads. Buffy was having fun but wasn't taking commands too well. Skinny, our champ, has aged and will not lead in a race, but hopefully he can help us train.
The second team was led by Medio and Ruthie ( we were going to let Frita lead but she was too
skitzy with Ruthie, so she ran in swing). Frita did take the commands better than either Ruthie or Medio , so in her heart she was leading. However, Frita's bad hip will preclude her being able to lead. Hopefully, she can also train.
Kiddo and Quattro both run left now, so will not be able to pair them anymore (wheel dogs), but even though they ran tightly left together, they had a good time.
