Leader of the Pack

Coco and Rucksack are inseparable during Pack Activities.  During today's hike, Rucksack was carrying his obligatory stick and Coco was bent on stealing it from him, even though it was too big for her to carry herself.  Mogul mostly stuck by me or lingered behind during the hike.  When I call to him to catch up he just looks at me and continues at his lagging pace - until I reach for the treat bag at my hip, at which point he mysteriously gains a sudden burst of energy.

At the park, Misha and Sophia played together.  Sophia found a few other playmates, too.  Misha greeted several of the calmer dogs at the park, but wasn't interested in playing with anyone other than Sophia.  Rucksack found a young Husky(?) mix that he played with yesterday, and they entertained one another for quite a while.  Mogul was pretty laid back at the park.  He and Misha chased after a ball I was throwing, but it was always Rucksack who ended up with it and brought it back to be thrown again - except once when Misha really went for it and came running back with the ball held proudly in her mouth.
