Leader of the Pack

Adventure Pack

Milo enjoyed chomping on some snow alongside the path, while Rucksack, Roger Roger, and Mamacita were following their noses through the snow.  Meanwhile, Benny and Isaac were happy just to trot along the path.

Sadie and Charlie are continuing to become more and more friendly with each other.  Today, it was actually Charlie who approached Sadie and licked and mouthed at her face to get her attention, and the tw...

Adventure Pack

Roger Roger has continued to be vocal about passing dogs when the other dogs seem excited themselves.  This spurred Sputnik on to a brief growling fit, but he let it go quickly and didn't join in at all well Roger Roger started barking again at another dog who followed.  Benny stopped in place now and then and I encouraged him to keep up so he could walk on the far side of Roger Roger to act as a buffer between his young packmate and passers-by. ...

Adventure Pack

Milo and Thompson competed to see who could pee in the most places, and who could pee in each place last.  Meanwhile, Mamacita entertained herself by hopping into the snow, poking her nose in for a quick nibble, then hopping back onto the trail and repeating every few steps for a while.  Rucksack and Roger Roger were content just to trot along.

Play Pack

Sputnik and Benny played tug-of-war over a very nice stick at the park ...

Adventure Pack

Benny, Sputnik, Rucksack, and Roger Roger all trotted along the Bear Creek Path nicely.  We didn't pass any other dogs today and everyone was pretty mellow.  Roger Roger did jump up on Sputnik's side while we were standing still at one point but Sputnik didn't react much and just stepped away from his little packmate.

Today was probably Isaac's favorite day in a long time, because the park was a sea of mud.  S...

Adventure Pack

Milo and Mamacita both enjoyed chomping on some icy chunks of snow along our walk today.  Mamacita dug it up playfully before indulging while Milo just grazed.  Roger Roger kept to himself and didn't harass any of his packmates today.  Rucksack refrained from licking Milo and Mamacita's ears.  Benny brought up the rear of the pack and kept up a good pace as we trotted along.  He lagged a bit every now and then but he never stopped in place....

Adventure Pack

Mamacita, Milo, Benny, and Roger Roger had a pleasant walk along the Bear Creek Path.  We went at a light trot for a lot of the time and everyone kept pace.

Play Pack

Sadie and Charlie are continuing to test each other out as play partners, with Sadie nudging and nuzzling at Charlie while Charlie held a paw up and leaned over in an inviting way.  That was in the packmobile; at the park they went their own ways.  Coco is...

Adventure Pack

Roger Roger barked at a passing dog today while Sputnik and Oliver, who are usually the ones to cause a commotion, stayed surprisingly quiet and polite. Meanwhile, Benny was calm and pleasant throughout the walk as always.

Play Pack

Sadie and Ruffers mixed it up together at the park as they usually do.  Ruffers also found some other playmates and enjoyed hopping around them as they wrestled together and...

Adventure Pack

Mamacita had fun leaping through and chomping on the snow today.  She and Thompson saw a squirrel that crossed the path up ahead of us and as we walked on they both stared intently at the rock wall in which it dissappeared through a little nook.  Rucksack took to licking Milo's ears again toward the end of our walk; apparently his were more appealing than Mamacita's today.  Roger Roger barked at a passerby which was unusual for him, but he settled do...

Adventure Pack

Sputnik got a little worked up about a couple dogs we passed as we walked today but he moved on along with the pack without getting too upset.  Oliver kept his cool and didn't bark at all.  Rucksack did a pretty good job of walking without pulling ahead.  Roger Roger is maturing more and harassing his packmates less as he walks alongside them.  Benny kept stopping in place today until he eventually went potty and then seemed more comfortable.

Adventure Pack

The pack was happy to be reunited after some breaks over the past couple weeks.  Mamacita wagged her tail as she saw me approaching the car with her packmate Milo.  Then, Benny gave everyone enthusiastic kisses until they couldn't stand it anymore and tried to get away from him.  Roger Roger and Rucksack joined the group last and were welcomed into the packmobile to set out for our walk.  Everybody stayed pretty orderly even as other dogs passed...
