Leader of the Pack

The Adventure Pack

Rucksack carried along a big stick today.  After he picked it up and had a job to do, he was much less interested in pulling ahead on the leash.  Benny leaned over occasionally to gnaw at the stick while his packmate carried it.  Oliver was vocal toward other dogs that passed by us again while his bigger packmates just continued on, uninterested in any confrontation.  Mogul was less determined to leave scent marks along the way today, but he still stopped every so often.

The Play Pack

For the first time, Maverick let Benny lick his face without hopping away or even so much as a grumble.  I had just given Maverick a treat for coming over to me when I called and Benny's nose led him straight over as well.  After I gave Maverick the treat, Benny gave his face a few licks and Maverick stayed sitting and let him.  Mogul found a big dog who looked like a Pinscher/German Shepherd mix and broke out his spins for his new friend, but the other dog wasn't that interested in him.  Coco carried around a rubber kickball for a while and pounced right on it whenever I gave it a kick after she dropped it.
