Leader of the Pack

The Adventure Pack

We made it farther on the trails today than we have in some time.  Wesley, Coco, and Rucksack were all focused and moving as a pack with me for most of the hike as we went up the First Flatiron.  Everyone was eager for water breaks, though, and promptly looked at me and sat down whenever I asked, "Who's thirsty?"

The Play Pack

Milo, a park regular, joined us for his first pack outing today!  He was a little uncertain at first and hung near the gate, but he came when I called and then ran with Benny, Oscar, and Oso as I led them jogging around the perimeter of the park.  Later, Oso lied down in a shady spot and then started wiggling around on his back.  Benny looked over at him, interested, but didn't end up taking the bait to go play with him.  Oso tried again a few minutes later but still had no takers.  Meanwhile, Oscar had found a smaller version of a tennis ball and we played some fetch.  He could actually catch the smaller ball mid-air.  Milo was pretty mellow throughout our visit, but he joined me for another jog from one end of the park to the other a little later along with his packmates.  He got along well with everyone and I think his calm energy will be a great addition to the pack!
