Leader of the Pack

Adventure Pack

It was a beautiful day for hiking today!  Roger Roger was less persistent with wrestling than usual and only nudged Milo casually and occasionally.  I think Milo prefers the more mellow displays of interest and affection from his puppy packmate.  Osito started the hike off in a very stubborn mood and tried to back out of his collar a couple times but after just a few minutes of negotiations that didn't work out in his favor he decided to give in and follow with the rest of the pack.  Coco and Rucksack both did fairly good jobs of walking on loose leashes today, which is something they both tend to have some trouble with since they like to be in the lead and seem to especially like to compete with one another to try to be one step ahead.

Play Pack

Thompson barely spent any time by the gate today, which is a great sign that he's getting more comfortable with the park scene.  However, he does tend to sit some distance away from me and his packmates and watch, but then he comes over as soon as I call him.  Milo used to do the same thing when I first started taking him out to the park.  It seems to be the m.o. for older dogs who are trying to figure out their place in the new pack.  Meanwhile, Isaac played fetch almost nonstop today.  Sputnik and Mama ran around with a white Husky and Benny even joined in with them for a good romp!
