Leader of the Pack

Adventure Pack

Sputnik was in a rambunctious mood today and started off wrestling with Roger Roger in the back of the car.  Once on the trails, Rucksack found a stick he liked and then Sputnik tried to steal it.  I had Sputnik leave Rucksack alone but it took countless reminders for him to finally let Rucksack carry the stick without harassment.  Even then, he still kept nibbling on the end of it.  Oliver wasn't thrilled when the winds picked up and started blowing snow in our faces.  He moved from his position at the outside of the pack back to a spot behind me and between Benny and Roger Roger to use us as shields against the elements.

Play Pack

Isaac and Coco both played a lot fo fetch, as usual.  Coco was much more consistent about bringing back the ball than she often is, so she got to chase a lot of throws.  She showed off by catching a lot of big throws before they ever even touched the ground.  Sadie ran at Isaac's side much of the time.  She also darted over to grab Coco's ball when Coco came to drop it at my feet, but then she would only give it a couple chews before leaving it for me to pick up.  Benny leapt around with Sadie and dropped into play-bows to let her jump in his face.  Thompson seemed on the verge of breaking out into play with Porter, a Great Dane mix whom we sometimes encounter and with whom Coco had some fun last week; but in the end they didn't do more than shift around one another for a minute.
