Leader of the Pack

The Adventure Pack

Oliver joined for our hike for the first time in weeks, since his normal days out have been too cold and snowy for him.  He stuck close by me, following right behind for the whole hike.  Rucksack rolled in the snow throughout the hike.  When we passed by the pond at the North Fork of Shanahan Ridge he ran straight into it, chest-deep.  Benny, who was also off-leash at the time, was busy sniffing around and didn't join his packmate for a dip.  Later on, Sputnik was a little overly excited to greet a couple girls on the trails.  They were happy to say hello even though Sputnik jumped on them a few times.  He had to go back on the leash after that.

The Play Pack

Coco was all about rolling in the grass today.  Her antics caught the attention of a young black-furred pup who hopped around her.  Then Benny came over and harassed Coco with grumbles and awkward attempts to hop in the middle of things while still staying out of the fray.  Oscar went around the park making friends and behaved himself very well.  Mama had a few short runs with other dogs today but on the whole she was a little less playful than she usually is.
