More run time

Chloe has lost enough weight that she's
pretty fast now, at least for short spurts.

Franklin is very independent.  The other six
stayed with me pretty well, he did his own thing
but would check in occasionally.  He didn't come
back to the dog  yard with the others though and
I found he had gone over the fence for a little
unauthorized walkabout.

Nothing new here, just another romp through the pasture.  It makes such a difference for those dogs who get out to run.  They are quiet in the evenings and even the next day as long as we do it regularly.  I'd like to get back to the hiking trails, but right now I've got too many dogs who need exercise to take just one or two dogs out for a hike.  I've been walking in the pasture while they run.  Today was a good group of seven:  Vince, Anna, Franklin, Chloe, Max, Ochie, and Toquima, who came back this morning to spend a week with us.  I didn't bring Maya out because she jumps over the fence and would have taken Franklin with her.  Maya and Trooper joined us back in the dog yard later.

Toquima met the new fosters,
said hello to the old ones, and
made himself right at home.

We went down to the brush pile and I found
sticks for Max and Ochie to run after and carry.

Max was better with a stick in his mouth.  It seemed to prevent some of his neurotic
tail chasing by giving him something else to focus on.
