Fall Training
Despite temperatures that are still a bit warm, we have been able to get in a few short runs this past week. Recent rain has helped cool things down by providing lots of puddles for the dogs to splash through, but it sure makes for a muddy mess by the end, as evident by this picture of Hildy. Swimming is likely done for another season, but we were able to keep with it until Labor Day, several weeks longer than in past years. We’ll miss our nightly dips.
We also had our veterinarian out this past week to get everybody up to date on their rabies and distemper/parvo vaccinations. Now we should be set for the upcoming race season, with the exception of a kennel cough vaccination, which we’ll likely do a little closer to the Quest to reduce the possibility of the dogs getting sick during that race.
