Week 3, Day 2

It felt cooler to me this morning, but we got to the park a little later than usual. There was someone else walking their dogs on the shady end of the field so we went to the other end, which is in the sun. By the time we finished the first set and some obedience they had left and we moved back to the shady end. But, I think the sun was enough to cost us 1 throw on the first set. And since I am starting to build their obedience session a little, we got 1 less throw on the second set, too.


Program: Walk to park, 2x4, OB between sets - 2 quick sessions for each dog
Total time: 37 minutes
Status: Both dogs tired; Gata continued to heat up a little and showed a little bit of drunken sailor in the park and while on the way home. She also did more rolling in the park, which I interpret to mean that she is trying to cool herself off by rolling in the cool, wet grass. It doesn't help as much when she is wearing her ice vest. Both recovered well and completely once home. Gata recovered quickly enough to convince me to throw a ball for her a few times in the back yard.
