My landlord at the time was replacing the carpet upstairs so Oaken had no choice but to sleep on the dog bed- the switch was hilarious

We lost Sini on Tuesday after a two month long struggle with lymphoma. She responded well to chemo for a bit and we had a good last two months with her before she declined rapidly this weekend and into Monday. She was a few months shy of her fourth birthday and 2 year gotcha day. She will be missed

Grateful for these girls and for fall. Sini’s lymphoma isn’t in remission so for now we’re trying to make the most of every moment we have

Took the girls on a long run today and then took Zoya to hot licks for a post run treat for me and some exposure training for her. She made 8 new friends today and ran 8 miles- nice job Zoya

Different dog, same trail
7 miles, slow but fun and good hills

Got the old boys out for a romp this morning and now its time to novel write until i go run the young girls. My retired revolutionary back on the job is out to organize a ceasefire this chapter- good luck to her

Took Sini AKA tongue on legs out for a 7 miles run yesterday and she’s been sleeping her crate with the door open all day. Mission accomplished. She’s also a great little trailing running buddy with great recall.

Pretty sure sini is all tongue

Good run today
