Leader of the Pack

Adventure Pack

Oliver started off the hike tentatively at the back of the pack, trying to stay out of his packmates' way, but with some encouragement he took up a position next to his brother Benny and eventually seemed more comfortable.  Rucksack found a stick early on in the hike and Sputnik occasionally gnawed on the end of it.  When Sputnik started tugging at it to try to steal it away I told him to leave it to his packmate and he listened very well.  Roger Roger mostly kept to himself today, though he and Sputnik did jump around on each other briefly.  Benny kept up with the pack without lagging behind as he has tended to do in the past.

Play Pack

Mamacita and Sadie played and played at the park today.  Mostly, Sadie just jumped in Mamacita's face while Mamacita batted her down and rolled her head around invitingly, but they also ran a bit as well.  Later on, Sadie saw her friend Scruffy and the two of them played keep-away over a blue rubber ball.  Thompson was mellow as usual, though he stayed on his feet and wandered around for most of the visit rather lying down in the shade as he often does.  Benny was also mellow today and made rounds among the humans to get his daily tributes of love.
