At a sunny Erskine beach

Ella is a regular on my Tuesday and Thursday mid-morning walks, but today she joined us for an uncommon Friday walk at the beach with Sage and Elsa—two dogs she knows very well—and met Coco for the first time.

Coco is so high drive and super fast, and I knew this would be a fun walk for her. Sage and Ella are both ball-mad, so having some competition was hopefully going to tire them all out, while keeping it moderate for Elsa. Elsa rejoined us this week after missing last week—she has heart issues, but she's now on medication and seemed her normal, great self on the walk.

On the beach, I kept Elsa, Coco and Ella on one side of me while sharing a ball between them, while throwing the ball for Sage in the opposite direction, as she doesn't always like the competition.

The weather was nice and sunny, with some rain in the distance that never came to anything.
