Today was crammed full. Days always begin with feeding and/or souping 38 dogs. Then I clean the pens and haul the waste. Today was dishwashing and bootie washing day. Various dogs free run while I do these chores. Part of this is hauling water to all dogs with pails, since hoses now are put away for winter.
Then I loaded the truck for the dump, hauled the garbage, went to WalMart for supplies and then to the vet's office to consult on seven different dogs. I headed home with three packages of medicine and three appointments for dogs.
Once back here, even though it was warm (40 degrees) I decided to run my trails with a few dogs that hadn't run. There are two young brothers (Tsunami and Yeti) who are a handful for me alone, but I did take them out. They were way too excited though, to go together, so I only put Tsunami in the team. His mother, Frita, led with Medio , and Quattro ran in wheel. It was a difficult run, at first, but finally they got into it. (Tsunami has paw in bowl in photo).
The second run was a five dog team and went very well and fast. All superstars in the making :)
(Ruthie, Buffy, Rosie, Medio, Herman).
Then because of hunting season this would be the last day for awhile for trailwalks so we took six dogs for a walk together. Evalina runs like a rocket and she must have snagged a blackberry bush as she came back with a bleeding tongue, but other than that the dogs had a great time.
The day ended with water and treats for all.
