Leader of the Pack

Adventure Pack

Roger Roger found a pine branch, needles and all, to carry for the beginning of our outing.  He lost interest in it quickly, though, and none of his packmates picked up the slack.  Oftentimes the cold and snow bring out the most playful sides of pups, but Rucksack, Sputnik, Benny, Roger Roger, and Isaac were all very calm and orderly on today's walk.  There was little pulling and nobody even chomped on the snow as we made our way - not even Benny!

Play Pack

Benny was more playful at the park, where he tried to make a playmate by bowing and hopping around him.  Unfortunately, Benny's low-pitched grumbling intimidated the other dog, who backed away and didn't play with him.  Coco and Isaac took turns playing fetch.  I managed to get them both chasing their own balls for a bit but, as always, Coco eventually left hers behind when she noticed the other ball I was throwing for Isaac.  Mamacita was more interested in hanging out around people and getting their attention today, which is really unusual for her.  Thompson had the same interest, which is typical for him.  They both wandered around to greet some dogs as well, but were satisfied with a simple 'hello' and then went their own ways.
