Leader of the Pack

The Adventure Pack

Sputnik's energy was a little much for Benny today, who has become Sputnik's go-to playmate.  The two of them ran around together for a bit but then Benny had enough and started dodging his packmate with obvious irritation.  Once Sputnik got the hint, he came over and tried to steal the stick Rucksack had been carrying.  I had Sputnik leave it since he was being overly pushy, and then he settled down and walked alongside me for a while.  Oliver got nosed by Sputnik a few times, but was largely unharassed.  Sputnik has matured a lot since his first few times out with the pack, but he's still a puppy and learning how to be respectful of others.

The Play Pack

Coco and Milo ran around together at the park today, and then they both flopped down in the grass and rolled around a bit.  Benny and Milo also romped around together.  Milo started it with Benny by gnawing playfully on his elbow when they were standing next to each other.  Oscar's greetings with other dogs were much improved - instead of charging up frantically, he trotted over with a calm confidence.  I was very impressed!
