Leader of the Pack

Adventure Pack

Oftentimes the dogs find different things to draw their attention as we hike but today everyone was very much on the same page.  Periodically, the entire pack stopped to thoroughly sniff out an area of interest together.  Even Oliver, who usually hangs back when his packmates checking out a scent, was milling around with Coco, Benny, and Sputnik as they all thoroughly investigated each scene.

Play Pack

Benny was the most playful I've seen him in a while.  He especially enjoyed a red-coated dog with white markings who ran by him as Benny tried to leap in his way; then Benny would drop into a play bow to invite him to have another go.  Coco and Sadie played and played today.  Sadie jumped around in Coco's face while Coco bowed, batted at her with a paw, and flopped over onto her back occasionally to wiggle around and kick her legs.  Thompson wasn't quite as animated as his packmates but he did follow around a pair of younger pups who were running with one another and he joined in for some hopping and playful dodging of his own.
