Last weekend I was out running 100 miles through the Angeles National Forest. Charlie and Gus got to stay with cousin Birdie while I was running.

Charlie spent the day doing what he does very best. Relaxing.

In the evening, Loren and Charlie brought the dogs to Chantry Flats, which is the 75 miles point in the race. They had fun playing with Jimmy, who was going to pace me from mile 75 to the finish line.

Gus got a little cold and found the duffel bag with my extra clothing to burrow into.

Sunday was the awards ceremony and Loren brought the dogs back to celebrate with us. Of course they were trying to get into as much trouble as possible. But they did relax every so often for a few seconds at a time.

Even their new friend Jimmy couldn’t get them to relax for very long.
