Notes
Ran on the trail with Copper this morning. Decided to lengthen the run my usual 3 miles to 4. Once again Copper was reluctant to start and when I turned around at 3 miles to retrace the last mile I had to practically drag him for the first 1/2 mile and than bang he was right at my side for the remaining 1/2 mile. He had peed before we started and pooped at the 1.2 mile mark so I don't think those bodily functions are in play here. He looks tired now laying down next to me as I type this, but not overly so. When I call his name he perks right up and his tail is wagging. His gums are pink and his nose is wet so I don't think hydration is the problem. I wish I could understand why is resisting running. Maybe I should take some treats to give him at each mile? I don't know but something needs to change as I cannot take my dog out for a drag much more! :) Oh, and yeah me! Today was my longest effort so far. :)
