Greg Louganis more into dogs than dives

According to a story in the San Diego Union-Tribune, Greg Louganis these days is more about dogs than dives.
The paper writes: "He spends his mornings these days in a spin class on a stationary bike, followed twice a week by 90 minutes of yoga. He takes daily naps. His afternoons are devoted to his true passion, training dogs in obedience and agility. He has two Jack Russell terriers, a border collie and a Hungarian pumi.
"He has flowing gray hair. He is tan. He wears a necklace with a diamond-studded peace sign.
He is at the San Diego County Fair today for the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge, the western region qualifier for the national championships in October in St. Louis. He and Dobby, a 12-pound Jack Russell, are entered in the small-dog agility competition – a timed run through an obstacle course with jumps, slalom poles and tunnels. Louganis runs alongside Dobby, providing guidance and instruction.
"One of their fellow competitors at the fair is Elizabeth Evans of McKinney, Texas. She has been competing for 13 years, but today is the first time she has faced the man who won gold in the springboard and platform events at the 1984 Summer Olympics, then did it again in 1988."

I love it! Look at that little Jack Russell Terrier run! Love that he has the Border Collie and the Hungarian Pumi. I saw a Pumi win in agility on TV the other day. A woman owner who is going to St. Louis with her Pumi for the nationals.
