Leader of the Pack

Toskey had a warm welcome back to the Adventure Pack from Coco this week.  Since Coco was recovering from being spayed two weeks ago and Toskey took last week off, it had been a while since the two saw each other.  Coco wiggled all around Toskey when they greeted each other in the packmobile.  When I let them off leash to begin the hike, the two of them chased and rolled around in the grass together for a long while.  They both have a lot of energy and it's great how much they can tire one another out.  Toward the end of the hike, Toskey was trotting from shady spot to shady spot and waiting there - clearly tuckered out from romping with Coco.  Coco wasn't as spent, but she still had the park to look forward to.

At the park, Coco played with an Australian Shepherd for a while.  Rucksack and I played lots of fetch today.  Coco joined in and made a few good fetches all the way back to me, too.  After a while, Rucksack got bored with the tennis ball and decided he wanted to play goalie, so he brought a basketball over to me so I could kick it for him.  Playing this game with Rucksack takes quick reflexes, because Rucksack likes to hover right over the ball and is good at anticipating where I'm going to kick it; so I have to work hard to fake him out and get it past him.   For the later part of our park visit, Coco wrestled around with Keeyush.
