Took the gruesome twosome out for a run today. Hit a few snags where Dash got scared and wouldn’t go forward, and had a few “Wait WAIT!” moments when they forgot their training and lunged at dogs, but overall it was a good run. Did the loop. I had hoped to run five, but it was obvious that Chunky McBunkerson wasn’t going to make a 5-spot, plus I have stairs planned for bootcamp later tonight, so cut it down to four. Dash hasn’t run as much mileage as Wiley lately, and he has put on a few pounds so I need to ease him back in a little at a time. He did pretty well, though! I always, when I used to walk him as a puppy, would sit down on the porch with him and give him snugs and tell him what a GOOD BOY he was to encourage him and end our walks on a positive note (because he’s a rather fearful dog and sometimes things on the walk would scare him). It was so cute. He did the same thing today. As soon as we got home, he sat on the porch and looked at me expectantly like “Where are my snugs?!” So he got ‘em!
